Halo 3 is the Star Wars for the video game generation?

As the entertainment industry comes to the conclusion of the summer movie season, filled with rehashed blockbuster sequels to popular franchises, only one trilogy has penetrated the hearts of minds of video gamers everywhere: Halo 3. For a generation of video game fans, the Halo series represents their own big-budget blockbuster; chock full of great special effects, heroic protagonists, and enough hype to catch the attention of the entire entertainment industry in the same way Star Wars did over thirty years ago. On Sept. 25th, hundreds of thousands of gamers will line up in front of their local electronics outlet for the chance to play the last of a trilogy of games that have transcended the boundaries of what has traditionally been a niche pastime. The Star Wars comparison has been used many times for the Halo series, as it has drawn the same sort of attention and fanaticism that is associated with Star Wars fans. Most recently Wired magazine called Halo “a cultural touchstone, a Star Wars for the thumbstick generation,” noting that the Halo 3 is the “latest sequel to one of the most innovative and beloved videogames of all time.”

Supergirl goes to Smallville

The New cast: Laura Vandervoort signs on as Clark Kent's cousin, Kara, aka Supergirl. And Dean Cain, who was the Man of Steel from 1993-1997 in ABC's Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, will guest-star in Episode 4 as the evil Dr. Curtis Knox.

Where we left things: Cliffhangers abound. Clark (Tom Welling) was flung through a disintegrating dam, Lana (Kristin Kreuk) was in a blown-up car, and Chloe (Allison Mack) was left for dead.

Where things are headed: Vandervoort's Krypton-born Kara brings new story lines. "Clark now has family he's actually related to," says executive producer Al Gough. "There'll be trials and tribulations of corralling this 19-year-old with superpowers, who has one ability he hasn't mastered — flying. He's got to keep her out of trouble." Lois also lands a job at the Daily Planet and pursues an investigation of Clark's former friend, Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum).

Spider Man the pilot of Valkyrie (Movies)

Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire is considering taking the lead-role in Robotech, a new film based on the 80s Japanese cartoon TV series about a group of robots known as mechas.
The 32-year-old actor, who is also producing the movie, said: "We are very excited to bring Robotech to the big screen. There is a rich mythology that will be a great foundation for a sophisticated, smart and entertaining film."
The futuristic film is set at a time when Earth has developed robots using technology found on an alien space craft that crashed on a South Pacific island.
Humans then use the massive machines to defend themselves against a series of alien invasions.
The screenplay will be penned by first-time writer Craig Zahler, and Warner Bros Pictures - who have picked up the rights to the film - are reportedly hoping to turn it into a money-spinning franchise.
Robotech follows a current trend in Hollywood for robot movies. Transformers took the world box office by storm this summer, while Voltron - a film based on a 80s Japanese animated TV series about giant machines - is also in the pipeline.

THE JOKER'S TRUE FACE REVEALED (IGN.com)

A large crowd scene for The Dark Knight was shot August 25th in Chicago, and spy pics posted online clearly show that The Joker (Heath Ledger) was there sans clown make-up!
A scooper for X-Realms.net provided a detailed set report of the day's filming, including snapshots of Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Anthony Michael Hall and Ledger in costume as their respective characters. Maggie Gyllenhaal was also reportedly on-hand, although there were no photos of her there. Christian Bale was not present.
According to X-Realms, the scene was a "Memorial service with craploads of Gotham Police and Pedestrians in front of Chicago Board of Trades (around Adams & LaSalle). Commissioner Loeb is definitely being 'honored' today (AKA … it's HIS Memorial). Someone is giving a speech at the podium (I thought it was Lt. Gordan [sic] at first but now think it MIGHT be the Mayor). Speaker steps aside as a 21 Gun salute is given. On last round of gunshots, the Joker (disguised as Policeman on stage) rushes the speaker. Cops and bystanders scatter crazily. And they shot this over … and over … and over."
(The Joker appearing sans make-up and in a police uniform is a nod to Batman #1, which director Christopher Nolan has acknowledged is a major influence on the film.)
The site also posted grainy spy pics of Ledger in white shirt and black pants and tie, presumably part of his policeman uniform. His hair appears brown but tinted green and pulled back. "You can kinda see his scar (and it looks like no white makeup is on). Also, as he walked towards the stage, he did this weird hopping & stepping move … like a crazy person," X-Realms' scooper wrote.
In other Bat-news, The Liverpool Daily Post confirms online rumors that British actress Sarah Jayne Dunn (Hollyoaks) has joined The Dark Knight in an unspecified role.

FUTURE OF PS3 COULD BE TOUGH (IGN.com)
Is it a super computer? Is it a Blu-ray player? No, it's a videogames console! PlayStation 3's schizophrenic marketing has come under scrutiny and the boss of Square Enix reckons Sony needs to sort it out.
According to Reuters, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada told a gathering of reporters in Tokyo that the future of PS3 "would be tough if its marketing strategy is not straightened up".
His concern originated from what he sees as an inconsistent marketing strategy for the console. He said: "Sony first unveiled the PS3 as a mighty home electronics product. Then, after some badgering from game companies, it shifted the position of the console closer to a game machine." Bets are now being taken as to what the PS3 will be marketed as next...
