Bell to join Heroes not Lost

by Sci-Fi Man on August 23, 2007

in Heroes, Uncategorized

So it had been rumored for some time that Kristen Bell, star of Veronica Mars would be joining the cast of Lost. This turns out is not the case. Instead she will appear in a number of Heroes episodes according to Variety.

Bell will play the role of Elle who is involved in Claire’s future and is also connected to Peter and H.R.G. Her character will start to appear in the show in October.

“This was not easy to pull off,” show creator Tim Kring told Variety. “But since we’re an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in her schedule.”

Will JLA Be All CG?

by Sci-Fi Man on August 23, 2007

in Comics

A proposed Justice League of America movie may be entirely computer generated if a rumor reported by IESB.net proves true. The JLA movie would be based on the DC comic series which sees a coalition of super heroes such as superman and batman brought together to defend earth.

An anonymous source told the site that there are three visual-effects companies in the running for the job; Rhythm & Hues, Imageworks and possibly Weta.

If this rumor is in fact true then it could add a couple of years to the films production as the CG takes time to render.
