Get the The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure, early. 

Audio production company Big Finish announced today that they’re bringing the release date forward for The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure, exclusively to Big Finish customers

Older who fans may remember that the Sixth Doctor didn’t have a proper regeneration story. So Big Finish are rectifying that.

If you’re a Big Finish customer you’ll be able to download it via their website on Monday the 17th. Everyone else has to wait six more weeks.

This eagerly awaited box-set chronicles the Doctor’s ultimate battle against the Valeyard (Michael Jayston), the malevolent distillation of the Doctor’s negative impulses. The four adventures involve a commuter train that has lost its way, a werewolf-infested town on an alien world, strange events on the stage of the New Regency theatre in Victorian London and the space station where their rivalry began in 1986’s The Trial of a Time Lord. Check out the trailer below. 

Pride and prejudice and zombies release date announced 

I’m a huge fan of the Pride and prejudice and zombies book and comic book adaptation, so this is a film I’ve been waiting a really long time to see. 

Pride and prejudice and zombies is a fresh twist on the classic Jane Austen novel. 

A mysterious plague has fallen upon 19th century England, the land is overrun with the undead and feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is a master of martial arts and weaponry. Casting aside personal and social prejudices, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy must unite on the blood-soaked battlefield to rid the country of the zombie menace and discover their true love for one another.

The film is directed by Burr Steers and supports an all-star cast, which includes LIlly James, Sam Riley, Friend of the podcast-Matt Smith, Jack Huston, Charles Dance, Lena Heady and many more.  

The film is released in the UK & Ireland on Friday 12th February 2016.

           

Dad’s Army teaser poster revealed 

Growing up in the UK in the 80’s and 90’s meant that I was subjected to many repeats of classic sitcoms such as Steptoe and Son and Dad’s Army. The latter has just been turned into a motion picture by Universal pictures.

It’s always tricky when a much-loved TV series is turned into a movie. But, I have to say that I am optimistic due to the cast list. Every actor is the perfect choice. 

It’s directed by the BAFTA award-winning Oliver Parker and has been written by Hamish McColl. 

Here’s the synopsis:

It is 1944 and World War II is reaching its climax. The Allies are poised to invade France and finally defeat the German army. But in Walmington-on-Sea morale amongst the Home Guard is low. Their new mission then – to patrol the Dover army base – is a great chance to revive spirits and reputation, that is until glamorous journalist Rose Winters arrives to write about their exploits, setting the pulses racing and putting the local women on red alert. MI5 then discover a radio signal sent direct to Berlin from Walmington-on-Sea. There’s a spy on the loose! The outcome of the war is suddenly at stake, and it falls to our unlikely heroes to stand up and be counted.

Dad’s Army is out in UK cinemas on February 5th 2016. 

David Tennant in series 9?

It’s now a well known fact that both David Tennant and former Doctor Who show runner Russell T Davies are in Cardiff. We just don’t know why.
Online speculation has been rife that Tennant is filming for the series 9 finale.

The rumour is that the series will culminate with the Twelfth Doctor returning to Pompeii and finding out just why he has that face. In the first promo picture for series 9, Pompeii is in the background of the right hand side.

The current show runner Steven Moffat has said that will be addressed this series.

A BBC source told us:

“I can confirm that David Tennant has been in the BBC Roath Lock studios twice this week. The number of security has also been increased for next week. So something is happening.”

Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean David Tennant is actually appearing in an episode. Former Doctor Who executives, Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner have just launched Bad Wolf Productions, which is based in Cardiff. It’s entirely possible that both Tennant and Davies are there to talk about working on a new unrelated show. Why wouldn’t they pop in the Doctor Who set whilst in town?

Rumour:Affleck to star in Batman trilogy 

This is only a rumour at the moment, but I would be very surprised if it isn’t true. 

According to den of geek, WB want Ben Affleck to star in a trilogy of Batman films. 

Den of geeks sources claim that at a recent cast and crew screening of Batman V Superman:Dawn of justice, which included several of the WB’s top suits, the film received a standing ovation. 

The suits are apparently so impressed with Affleck’s portrayal, that they want to lock him into a “golden deal” that would see him playing the capes crusader for the next ten years.

Meet Wally West

23-year old Australian actor, Keiynan Lonsdale has been cast as Wally West in the second series of the hit show, The Flash.
In the comics, Wally West is Iris’ nephew. After an accident similar to Barry Allen’s, he becomes Kid Flash and eventually, takes over as The Flash. 

Flash Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg said of the casting:

“Just like when we met Grant [Gustin] for the first time, we instantly knew Keiynan embodied all the heart and courage of a hero. We are so excited to be bringing this much-beloved character onto the show.”

I not familiar with Lonsdale’s work but The Flash producers haven’t made a bad casting choice yet.

It’ll be interesting to see if they keep him as Iris’ nephew. I suspect they will change his origin a little and he’ll be from an alternate Earth, where Joe had a son instead of a daughter. 

Sony announce Bad Boys 3+4 

It’s no secret that Sony, along with the cast have wanted a Bad Boys 3.

The studio announced today that not only will we be getting a third instalment to the franchise, we’ll also be getting a fourth. 

I’ll admit now, I love the first two movies and I’m eager for the third.

Bad Boys 3 is scheduled to hit cinemas on February 17th, 2017, with Bad Boys 4 in July 3rd 2019.

It’s unknown at this point if Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will be reprising their roles. 

Lexus Hoverboard

Hoverboads are now real and, these boards work on water.
Some of you may know that Lexus have been claiming to have built a fully functioning Hoverboard for a few months now, now they’ve finally revealed some footage.

My jaw is hanging open as I type this. Below are three of the videos for their hoverboard, SLIDE. It uses magnetic levitation and nitrogen-cooled superconductors to float above the ground, and it’s awesome.

The first video features some skaters testing it on a specially built skate park. This is the video we’ve all been waiting 26 years to see. Back to the future 2 has finally come true.
