    Resurrected on DVD September 2, 2008

    BURBANK, CA. (June 2, 2008) – The most recent chapter of the Winchester brothers’ story is resurrected on September 2, when Warner Home Video releases Supernatural: The Complete Third Season on DVD. Bound by tragedy and blood to a dangerous otherworldly mission, Sam (Jared Padelecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) race against a ticking clock to save each other and defend the world against creatures that most people believe only exist in folklore, superstition and nightmares. The five-disc collector’s set features all 16 one-hour episodes and over an hour of special features, including a brand-new special effects featurette, gag reel, and commentaries, plus a bonus offer for a Digital Copy of the entire season. Supernatural: The Complete Third Season hits shelves just in time for fans to catch up with the Winchester brothers before the paranormal journey returns with the season four premiere on The CW. The set is priced to own at $59.98 SRP with an order due date of July 29, 2008.

    The yellow-eyed demon is vanquished, but at a terrible price. The battle that brought him down released hundreds of demons from Hell into an unsuspecting world and cost Sam his life. But a grief-stricken Dean made a deal with the Crossroad Demon – his soul in exchange for Sam’s resurrection. Now Dean has just one year to live. One year to fight the unholy, the twisted, the ghoulish. One year to say farewell to Sam, and one year for Sam to search desperately for some way to save his brother. Mind-bending adventure awaits as the Winchester brothers continue their astonishing odyssey into the supernatural…and their personal odyssey into destiny.

    MGM OPTIONS 'THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE' FOR SERIES TELEVISION DEVELOPMENT

     

    Jonas Moore

    LOS ANGELES, CA August 19, 2008 -- Seizing an opportunity to leverage the current wave of popularity and notoriety surrounding the new digital graphic novel sensation, THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE, MGM Domestic Television Distribution has acquired an option to develop the Factory Publishing property as a possible television series. The announcement was made today by Chris Ottinger, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Television, MGM.

    "THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE is an exciting digital graphic novel that's creating quite a sensation abroad," said Ottinger in announcing MGM's option of the property. "We see this as a great concept that will make an exciting series for worldwide audiences.”

    "MGM is a great place for THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE," said Howard Webster, creator, producer and director of the project for Factory Publishing in association with Triumph Motorcycles. "There has never been a black British action hero before and what appealed to me was that MGM understood this from the outset. JONAS MOORE is sophisticated, educated, tough and uber-cool.  He represents the next generation of intelligent action heroes of international sci-fi drama."

    THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE was written, produced and directed by Howard Webster. Ruth Vitale of The Film Collective brought the project to MGM. She was instrumental in developing the television pitch with Webster.  She is attached as an Executive Producer to the project, having worked with Webster for the last four years on Factory Magazine.  

    Nominated at MIPCOM 2007's Mobile and Internet TV Awards in the Best Short Form Mobile and Internet Drama category and an official honoree at this year's Webby Awards, THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE is a trilogy of second-generation graphic novels, which live online and are specifically designed for iPod and PC download.

    THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE is set in a time where the British Empire has never ended and America is just one of thousands of virtual worlds hosted on a vast global game network.  When Jonas Moore (portrayed online by British film and TV star Colin Salmon -- Resident Evil, Die Another Day, Prime Suspect and the upcoming Punisher: War Zone, and Blood: The Last Vampire), a character personally created by the network's founder, becomes self-aware he is tagged by the network as a virus and goes on the run.   As he moves from one artificial game world to the next, his knowledge of the games and the real-world gamers spreads like a virus to the other game characters, freaks, creatures and monsters who live as slaves within the network - precipitating a revolution and fight for freedom against the murderously addicted real-world gamers.  Worlds Apart lead singer Steve Hart wrote the score for the production and also stars in the online version.

    Combining comic book illustration with 3D animation, live action photography, newsreel archival footage, and an original music score, THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE marks a revolution in online branded entertainment and user-generated content. Pushing the boundaries of the graphic novel genre, THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE engages fans by inviting them to become part of the journey by downloading the JONAS MOORE digital elements and animating their own stories or creating comic book adventures for JONAS MOORE. Garage bands and musicians all over the world are also invited to strip out the music and send in their own soundtracks. The best fan-generated comic books, animations and soundtracks will be posted at www.jonasmoore.com when the online digital comic book series goes live later this year.

    Previews for THE MANY WORLDS OF JONAS MOORE digital graphic novel can be seen at www.jonasmoore.com and www.factory-publishing.com.

    'Eureka' Takes Surprising Turn This Week with Demise of a Leading Character and the Arrival of Special Guest Star Ever Carradine as 'Lexi Carter'


    NEW YORK – August 18, 2008 – Eureka, SCI FI's hit original dramedy starring Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Joe Morton, added to its stellar season 3 premiere numbers with the release of new Live +7 data. Overall the July 29 premiere episode averaged a 2.4 HH rating, 1,606,000 Adults 18-49, 1,776,000 Adults 25-54, and 3,363,000 total viewers.
    The episode is now the highest-rated and most-watched episode of any SCI FI original series since the Eureka series premiere on July 18, 2006. In total viewers, it ranks as the 4th most-watched episode of any SCI FI original series ever.


    Eureka, a series about a small town of geniuses and the havoc their top-secret work often wreaks, takes a shocking turn in this week with the demise of one of the show's leading characters. The arrival of Allison (Richardson) and Nathan's (Ed Quinn) wedding day coincides with an apparent loop in time, and Sheriff Jack Carter (Ferguson) is baffled that he — and only he — is reliving Allison's wedding day over an over again. Carter also gets an unexpected extended visit from his free-spirited sister Lexi (guest star Ever Carradine). By episode's end, one of Eureka's heroes will fall.


    Eureka also stars Jordan Hinson as Zoe Carter, Erica Cerra as Deputy Jo Lupo, and Neil Grayston as Douglas Fargo. Co-creator Jaime Paglia and Charlie Craig (The X Files, Brimstone) are Executive Producers and Thania St. John and Bruce Miller are Co-Executive Producers.

    NBC ANNOUNCES COURTNEY B. VANCE WILL JOIN REAL-LIFE WIFE ANGELA BASSETT ON 'ER' FOR MULTI -EPISODE STORY ARC DURING 15TH AND FINAL SEASON

    NUP_110520_0949

    BURBANK, Calif. – August 18, 2008 - NBC announced that Courtney B. Vance will join NBC's long running show "ER" (Thursdays, 10-11 p.m. ET/PT) in multi-episode story arc during season 15. Vance will be playing the role of Russell Banfield, husband to Cate Banfield played by real-life wife, Angela Bassett. "ER" will mark the first time Vance and Bassett will be acting together.
    "We are excited to see the on-screen chemistry and emotion this incredibly talented husband and wife team will bring to our show," said executive producer David Zabel. "Fans are in for a treat and we couldn't be more thrilled that they chose ER to make their first appearance together."
    Vance is perhaps best known for his five-year run on NBC's drama "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and was nominated for the NAACP Image Award (Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series), for his role as New York Assistant District Attorney Ron Carver. Vance's talents also translate well to the big screen and are apparent in his roles in films such as Clint Eastwood's "Space Cowboys," Penny Marshall's "The Preacher's Wife" opposite Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington, John McTiernan's "The Hunt for Red October" and the big budget thriller "D-Tox." He was also seen in Robert Altman's small town mystery, "Cookie's Fortune," as well as "Huckleberry Finn." Vance's other feature film work includes "Hamburger Hill;" "Love and Action in Chicago," which he also co-produced; "The Last Supper," his critically-acclaimed portrayal of Bobby Seale in Gramercy Pictures "Panther;" and opposite Forest Whitaker in Tim Story's "Patriots."
    On the small screen, Vance starred in the Emmy-nominated production of "The Boys Next Door," as well as the Emmy-nominated television movie, "The Tuskegee Airmen" opposite Laurence Fishburne and Andre Braugher. He starred alongside Charles S. Dutton in the feature "Blind Faith," for which he received an Independent Spirit Award nomination as Best Actor. He also appeared in the production of "12 Angry Men" alongside Jack Lemmon and George C. Scott; the television movie "Ambushed;" "The Naked City;" "Whitewash;" "The Clarence Brandley Story" as Clarence Brandley; and "Percy & Thunder" alongside James Earl Jones. Vance also received recognition for his starring role in the television movie, "The Affair," in the form of a Cable Ace Award nomination for Best Actor -- and also his brilliant performance in the Emmy-nominated production of August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson."
    Most recently, Vance and wife Angela Bassett completed their first book, Friends: A Love Story that chronicles their story about healthy relationships, love and family.
    NBC renewed "ER" for a 15th and final season in April. Combining the extraordinary talents of multiple award-winning producer John Wells ("The West Wing" "Third Watch"), best-selling author Michael Crichton ("Jurassic Park") and the creative team at Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television, the venerated series "ER" explores the inner workings of an urban teaching hospital and the critical issues faced by the dedicated physicians and staff of its overburdened emergency room. Currently beginning its 15th season, the highly acclaimed drama series now holds the distinction of being recognized as the most Emmy®-nominated series in the history of television with 122 nominations. Crichton and Wells serve as executive producers, along with Christopher Chulack, David Zabel, Joe Sachs and Janine Sherman Barrois.
    A winner of the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award, the series has also earned 22 Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series in 1996, among many accolades. In addition, the cast has been honored with four Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Ensemble Performance in a Drama Series.
    The long-running series stars Maura Tierney ("Diggers," "Welcome to Mooseport,"), Mekhi Phifer ("Dawn of the Dead," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "8 Mile," "Slow Burn"), Parminder Nagra ("Ella Enchanted," "Bend It Like Beckham"), Linda Cardellini ("Brokeback Mountain, "Scooby-Doo" films, "Grandma's Boy," "Freaks and Geeks"), Scott Grimes ("Band of Brothers," "American Dad," "Party of Five," "Mystery, Alaska"), John Stamos ("A Raisin in the Sun," "Jake in Progress") and David Lyons ("Blue Heelers").
    On staff at County General Hospital are Abby Lockhart (Tierney), a recovering alcoholic trying her best to juggle a demanding residency and motherhood while everything around her seems to be falling apart; Dr. Greg Pratt (Phifer), an attending fighting for the chief spot on the floor as well as for a firm grasp on his love life; Neela Rasgotra (Nagra), a skilled surgical resident committed to growing in her craft as well as in her place on the surgical team; Sam Taggart (Cardellini), a spirited ER nurse who is finally getting some time to explore life and love both in and outside the hospital; Dr. Archie Morris (Grimes), the quirky-yet-talented attending dedicated to his work but constantly distracted by his own world; Tony Gates (Stamos), a paramedic-turned-doctor who has overcome numerous obstacles to take on the rigorous challenges of life in the ER and Dr. Simon Brenner (Lyons) the newest attending physician with a penchant for stirring things up.
    "ER" is a production of Constant c Productions and Amblin Television in association with Warner Bros. Television.

    Supernatural 4.01 Promo Pictures: A Closer Look

    Yes, these photos for the Supernatural Season 4 episode Lazarus Rising have been around for a few days. I actually got them when they first came out, but didn't have anywhere to post them because of server issues with Eclipsemagazine.com that prevented me from posting them. That prompted me to create a place of my own.

    Since these have been out for a few days now, I figured I needed a little bit of 'hook' to have a reason to post them as well. So I went looking for one and found it. I decided to enhance the photos so that we could take a closer look at them and see what might be intriguing about them, well besides the hotness that is Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles who star as Sam and Dean Winchester.

    I brought the this image up to a lighter setting and noticed some very interesting things in the background of psychic Pamela Barnes' (played by Traci Dinwidde) digs:

    3spn4-01

    Notice the really cool painting in the background and the art, including the golden Chinese mask of Budda. This lady is very interesting!

    Next we have two photos of the séance going on where Dean, Sam, Bobby Singer (played by Jim Beaver) and Pamela are making contact with someone or something on the supernatural side:

    5spn04-01

    Once again I did some lightening of the photo and some things I found really intriguing showed up. In the picture above notice that the candle flames seem to come together to form an image of something that, at least to me, resembles a hellhound. Check it out see what you think.

    In the photo below, once it was lightened I was really fascinated by what seems to be appearing on Dean's exposed bare shoulder and his neck (and I don't just mean the lovely freckled skin). Whether it is a trick of the light or a flaw in the photo, but it looks like there is an 'entity' hovering almost on top of him. Did Dean Winchester bring something back from hell with him or is that something else

    7spn4-01

    The below photo is still driving me crazy even though I lightened it and toned down some of the color saturation in it. Is it Sam or Dean? Or is it some random guy who just couldn't take the suspense anymore of waiting on season 4 of Supernatural to begin!

    1spn4-01

    On to the next photo. Hmm..scorch marks on the floor next to woman in a waitress outfit lying apparently lifeless while Sam Winchester crouches over her. Well either something decidedly demonic was afoot or the waitress just keeled over in the sheer shock of seeing Sam Winchester actually eat something (see next photo).

    11spn4-01

    You know there is going to be lots of surprises going on in a Supernatural episode when you see Sam Winchester actually eating something. (ok maybe I'm just exaggerating a bit about that..or maybe not).

    12spn4-01

    At first I lightened up the below photo for just for the pleasure of seeing the lovely bare shoulder more clearly. But low and behold something else was made apparent. That there is such a thing as continuity with Supernatural. Notice the 'bullet wound scar' on Dean's shoulder right next to Pamela's thumb. Someone was paying attention to what is expected to be seen when you show the audience that section of Dean's bare skin. Good Job!

    6spn4-01

    Ok so there is nothing intriguing to be revealed in the next photo after lightening it unless you include getting to see Dean's injured knuckles more clearly. I just wanted to post it because it has me happily singing 'I'm Back in Baby's Arms' as we see Dean back in the driver's seat of his beloved '67 Chevy Impala 'baby' once more!

    2spn4-01

    Ok that's it, that was my hook. If you came to look at these, then I thank you kindly for visiting my new site:)
