They have also said this: “Uther returns in a very unexpected way and returns in Arthur’s life where he’s missing his father and he needs some advice. In a moment of weakness he is able to contact Uther,” revealed co-creator and executive producer Johnny Capps." That doesn't sound good! They also announced that after series 5 they will reboot the franchise with a trilogy of movies! They said: “One idea we’ve been playing around with is to reboot the whole series,” “We would go back in time and start the story again and show different parts that you didn’t see in the series. The other idea is to do a continuation, but we haven’t decided yet.” A sixth series was also still being discussed with the BBC.
Doctor Who
Two more episodes have been named "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship" and "A Town Called Mercy". See the updated episode guide here, For more information!

In other Queen news, the smash-hit stage show We Will Rock You is set to do it's first arena tour next year to celebrate the show's 10 years at the Dominion Theatre in London. If you get the opportunity, I would really recommend the show. It is a fantastic tribute to Queen and is also very funny and entertaining.

Directed by: Josh Trank Written by: Max Landis Starring: Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jordan Release Year: 2012 Genre: Sci-Fi/Thriller/Drama Certificate: 12A
This is a film about 3 guys who get superpowers, and that is all I'm telling you! Trailer here:
I went into this movie knowing nothing of the story line except what I told you above and watching the trailer. This is a good idea as it changes mood throughout the film. The start went slower then I would have liked and maybe even bored me, but it was only short and was bearable. The film built up drama and anticipation well and had an excellent ending. This was aided by starting with a cheaply shot, "boy-films-himself-and-friends" style to suddenly a massive budget ending.
Now on this idea of "boy-films-himself" theme. This could have been done to make the film cheaper, but I really liked it. When he wasn't the one with a camera it was someone else's camera or a security camera or something. However if you start with this style Mr Director, stick with it and don't put random parts that are just filmed normally. Also there is a part where one of the characters brings a load of phones and tablets and stuff around him which is a bit random and draws away from the atmosphere and then it is still filmed with a really good film camera. Personally I would prefer it if it was from the cameras of the devices.
When the film finished I was left really wanting to know what happened after! There could easily be a good sequel of this as there are still unanswered questions.
Super Hero News! The Dark Night Rises
You can listen to the full score to The Dark Night Rises by Hans Zimmer here! However some thing listening to this may spoil the film. All spoilers have been removed from the track names! A synopsis has also been revieled, this may contain minor spoilers. See it here:
"It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of DA Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane."
There is a new trailer seen bellow!
Christopher Nolan has said that The Dark Knight Rises will be it for him working with batman so i guess that means he isn't making the Justice league.
Dredd Writer Alex Garland has plans for a possible Dredd 2 and Dredd 3. He said at comic-con: “In the sequel. Which we can make as long as the film grosses over $50 million in the States. It might be tough – this is an 18, an R rating. The first time I sat down to do the script I did 16 drafts of Death. It didn’t feel right. We needed to set it all up first. The next version was all sort of the Long Walk and America, but we needed to get to know Dredd and everyone first. The trilogy would be this film, then Origins and then the Dark Judges".
Fantastic 4
The Director of Chronicle, Josh Tarnk, is confirmed for The reboot of The Fantastic Four. Which is good because I really liked Chronicle.
The Wolverine
Hugh Jackman is returning to play The Wolverine. The Wolverinewill not be a follow-on from the not-very-popular X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Instead, this is going to be more of a standalone adventure, loosely based around the Japan saga by Frank Miller and Chris Claremont.Hiroyuki Sanada, from Lost and Rush Hour 3, will be playing Shingen. Then Hal Yamanouchi, from The Life Aquatic, amongst many other movies, will be Yashida in the movie. Brian Tee from Grimm is set to play a corrupt minister by the name of Noburo Mori. And then Will Yun Lee will be the villain. He's playing Kenuichio Harada, who will be in Silver Samurai guise probably.
Amazing Spiderman
The new reboot is set to be at least a trilogy. However is is uncertain who will be the directors for the other films.
Iron Man 3
Concept art has been revealed for the new film which has just started filming! The film will be based on Warren Ellis' Iron Man: Extremis. It will have Guy Pearce and Rebecca Hall as virus-developing scientists, with Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin. (no not the fruit)
Guardians Of The Galaxy Ok update from last week! The characters are probably Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered artificial human with super-powers. Drax the Destroyer, a human spirit inhabiting an artificial alien body created to hunt and kill Thanos. Gamora, a super-strong alien and the adopted daughter of Thanos. Phyla-Vell (aka Quasar), the daughter of Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel. Rocket Raccoon, an intelligent anthropomorphic alien raccoon who captains his own starship. Groot, an extra-terrestrial plant-man. Moondragon, a telepathic/telekinetic human raised by Thanos' father, Mentor who is the daughter of Drax's human incarnation. And finally, Bug, an insectoid superhero from the microverse. And Thanos is the evil guy who looks like that guy to the right, remind you of anyone? (Avengers end credits)
Action Stuff News! The Man With Iron Fists Rza's upcoming martial arts movie The Man With the Iron Fists has the Wu-Tang man writing (with Eli Roth), directing and starring in the film.
Assassins creed Movie
Michael fassbender will star in and co-produce the movie. This movie is looking to be good as Ubisoft are funding it so no one screws around with their story lines.
After Earth
First synopsis relieved for Will Smiths next movie coming next June: “In After Earth, one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind’s new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai (played by Jaden Smith). When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai’s craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.” It is directed by M Night Shayalan's who did The Last Airbender which I liked!
Other The Hunger Games
It has been revealed that the after second film Catching Fire is released in November next year. The Third book Mockingjay will follow the example of Happy Potter and Twilight and will be split into two films despite the book only being 448 pages long! This will mean the last film will come out in November 2015!

This episode had good potential as the idea of a swarm and a man made anomaly was something new. However it got a bit cheesy as the queen was massively over sized and really, they can dig through reinforced concrete in seconds. Philip the added threat of Philip blowing everyone and abby going to save her pet at the last minuet hummm. This made for some cheesy lines. And Gamma rays are light so move at the speed of light you stupid TV effects people not like 10 mph!!
Also half way though the episode I started thinking this whole cast is way to attractive what is up with this !! Now this hasn't detracted from the acting to much but does leave the atmosphere and feelings down a little.
Now it did build suspense quite nicely and was possibly a scarier and darker episode, ish, which I liked although when i'm thinking to myself just die you useless model this kind of detracts from the mood.
The Walking Dead Season 3 The series will be 19 episodes long and feature some new characters. Danai Gurira's character, Michonne, has been described as "...awesome. She's sexy. She's a badass." by Laurie Holden and Danai herself as "really impressive, and she brings the character to life." by Gale Anne Hurd. David Morrissey has said that "...people are going to be blown away" by his new character, The Governor. Glen Mazzara also said"...he thinks he's the Messiah." Actor Chandler Riggs said that his character Carl was "...growing up. He's definitely not a kid anymore ... He's more of a solder, more part of the group." And producer David Alpert promised that "We're going to kill so many people ... people that you care about and love". A new clip was put online but has now been removed due to copy write but there is a picture seen above.
Doctor Who
Mark Gattis is writing a victorian-set episode for after christmas and the guest actors and some screen shots have been revieled! It is the ninth episode and it is called The Crimson Horror. See the updated episode guidehere.
Dame Diana Rigg is playing Mrs Gillyflower, a woman with a dark secret known to the inhabitants of Sweetville as "the Ice Lady", who does something dastardly to new companion Clara that the Doctor (aided by a couple of old friends) has to reverse. These old friends appear to be Madame Vastra and Sontaran Strax.
Dame Diana Riggs's daughter, Rachael Stirling, is playing her daughter! She has been seen on set wearing prosthetics for a burnt face! Whats that about, Ice lady and fire daughter ?
Madame Vastra
Sontaran Strax
For those of you who don't know Dame Diana Rigg is best known for her 60's roles in On Her Majesty's Secret Service and the UK TV show The Avengers and Rachael Striling was in Snow White and the Huntsman.
Sweetville's match factory, which goes by the name of Brightwell and Hyman, is a place regarded suspiciously by the locals, and will play a part in the episode's story.
But wait there is more!!!
Also in this episode has the guest actorsCatrin Stewart, David Warner, Liam Cunningham and Brendan Patricks like OMG (no i don't recognise the names either).
Okay so the girl to the left is Catrin Stewart. She played that girl in Misfits that could turn things to ice and then blew her self up by having sex with Nathans long lost brother! (what I told you it had spoilers). And this episode has an Ice Lady too! But more importantly she was the girl that was with Madame Vastra in A Good Man Goes to War half way throught the last series of doctor who!
David Warner is older and been in all the high geekness movies from Tron to Star Trek.
Liam Cunningham is a main character from Game of Thrones and has been in loads of stuff! Apparently he has been teased to include the words "meat", "klaxon" and "Vienna".
Brendan Patricks is the guy to the right. He is from Downton Abbey.
More Pictures?:
Loving the new hat Matt! and whats with the tweed waist cote and bow tie...
What really? More Who News! Yerp. However it is about a different episode.
The writer of Luther and Spooks, Neil Cross, is writing his first episode for Doctor Who. Not much is known about it but we know it will star Jessica Raine (seen right) and Dougray Scott (seen left). These pictures are not from Doctor Who. (Your a goon if you thought they were)
Jessica is from Call The Midwife and The Woman in Black.
Dougray is from Mission: Impossible II and Desperate Housewives.
And yes I used their first name not the conventional second name, get over it.
Sherlock and Sky
Sky Living will be playing host to the US show Elementary in the UK this autumn. We have been told that Jonny Lee Miller plays Holmes as an ex-pat Brit with a history of drug abuse whose father employs Lucy Liu’s live-in assistant Dr Watson to aid his recovery. Romantic complications, we’re told, ensue.
Really Romantic complications, Shelock can't have romantic complications!! and a history of drug abuse, isn't he suppose to be a hero, a role model, what is up with this america? >:O Nice to know sky have the same idea and put it on an inconspicuous channel!
:Enter Enraged Rant Here:
In case your interested Sky have also bought Vegas and The Followingwhich will be on Sky Atlantic and DC Comics adoption Arrow which will be on Sky1.
They Arrow looks like a rip off of hawk eye (well he came first but still), but a good one. The Following look like a aright horror thing ! Trailers Bellow (second Arrow trailer here, for more information click here). Vegas looks terrible.
Benedict Cumberbatch, everyone's favourite modem Sherlock, has a guest role in the US show The Simpsons! You may have heard of it. This will add to his roles in The Hobbit and Star Trek later this year. We think he will not however be playing Sherlock but an unknown and unconfirmed character. Benedict said: "I was at a meeting in the same place The Simpsons is recorded and heard there was a part going in an episode. I said 'I hate to muscle in here guys but could I record it?' Next thing, I'm standing in a room with all those famous voices; Bart, Marge, Homer, Lisa."
And Finally, if a slip of the tongue courtesy of Dredd’s Karl Urba is correct then it is sort of confirmed that Benedict will be playing Gary Mitchell, a villain from the original series of Star Trek in the new Star Treksequel. (Yes I know this is movie news but it fits better here!) Mitchell was a member of the Starfleet Academy who was exposed to a magnetic storm aboard the SS Valiant, leaving him with godlike telekinetic powers and a decidedly nasty temper.
And that's all, sorry about all the spoilers Kieron :O
Ok so news from comic-con and the trailer was leaked, although you can't actually see most of it have a look here.
