Linkorama Tuesday 29th June

Alice Eve As Emma Frost? Tommy Lee Jones In Captain America? A LEGO Movie? Read On To Find Out...

Welcome to the second ever Linkorama, the unofficial and unlicensed companion to Link-A-Mania over on SFX. Lets have a look at today's Sci-Fi and Fantasy News shall we?

Alice Eve Joins X-Men: First Class



Total Film reports that Alice Eve (Sex And The City 2 and She’s Out Of My League) is the latest addition to the cast list for X-Men: First Class. She joins the likes of Michael Fassbender (Magneto), James McAvoy (Professor X), and Benjamin Walker (Beast), taking on the role of Emma Frost. Could the inclusion of Emma Frost mean we'll see that love triangle from the comics? Either way, the cast list is starting to shape up for an interesting film...

First Look At Priest



The first image of Priest has been made available for your viewing pleasure. Priest is a movie adaptation of the TokyoPop comic that follows a priest (oddly enough) that abandons his church to hunt down a murderous group of vampires.

Thanks to the guys at Bloody Disgusting for the image.

Tommy Lee Jones As Colonel Phillips



Even though Hayley Atwell accidentally let slip that Tommy Lee Jones would be making an appearance in the upcoming Captain America movie, it's taken about a month for Marvel to confirm it. Tommy Lee Jones is set to play the role of Colonel Phillips in The First Avenger: Captain America which chronicles the origins of the great Captain.

More Transformers Games From Activision?

BotCon 2010 was held over the weekend, the largest convention related to Transformers, and a nice little bit of news has come out from the Q&A session. Kotaku have reported that Activision are thinking about the various ways they can bring the Transformers series to the gaming public. With the relative success of War For Cybertron, we could see a whole set of games exploring the origins of the Transformers.

LEGO Movie

Apparently an official LEGO movie has been in the works for quite a while, seeing various people take the helm and then leave due to difficulties. Warner Brothers are taking this license very seriously (why wouldn't they, considering the success of their LEGO games), and it has now been revealed that Phil Lord & Chris Miller (Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs) will be directing the project. They apparently got the job by pitching their idea at a LEGO convention.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Trailer

The latest trailer for Deathly Hallows Part 1 is up on Yahoo! movies, it can be viewed below:




That's all from me today. Come back tomorrow for more of the latest and greatest Sci-Fi & Fantasy news.

  2. If you;re interested and need help, ask me. I can tell you how to get a google search bar at the top of your blog as well. That's a good option because if anyone does a search through it and then clicks one of the result ads you get paid, and this is more likely to provide relevant ads...obviously.
