As it's getting towards the end of the week again, the news is once again slowing down. But there is still news, so I'm still in business!
Elizabeth Banks In Tink
Disney are hoping to expand on their booming Tinkerbell franchise. After years of aiming the series entirely at children, they're about to make themselves a live-action Romantic Comedy...
Yeah.
Anyway, no major details have been released on storyline, setting, anything...but it has just been revealed, thanks to Variety, that Elizabeth Banks (pictured above) is going to star in the film. As Tinkerbell herself? I don't know...nobody really knows. I guess all will be revealed soon.
Alien Anthology Blu-Ray Details
This is, perhaps, the only Blu-Ray collection I'm actually interested in...but until further details are revealed, I won't buy it just yet.
Fox have officially revealed the Alien Anthology, a six disc collection of all 4 Alien films. A film per disc, with both the original and re-release versions, along with a massive amount extras.
Disc 5 includes all the making-of bits and pieces you'd expect, and Disc 6 has a load more production galleries, etc.
For more details on what you'll find, head over to Den Of Geek and read their extensive list of extras.
Bret Ratner Making Hercules?
Originally speculated to be in the helm for the upcoming Conan film, Bret Ratner now seems to have moved over to another fantasy hero, Hercules, according to the LA Times.
Whilst nothing has been confirmed at the moment, it is said that Ratner is in talks with Avi Lerner about creating the film.
Bret Ratner is the man behind Rush Hour and X-Men: The Last Stand. Mediocre films, with Last Stand getting a large hate following from the online community.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how this one turns out...
Okamiden Collector's Edition
Okami was a cult hit when it came out in 2006. Reviewers loved it, and the majority of those that played it loved it. But it didn't sell too well.
Capcom re-released it on the Wii, and the same happened again.
Despite the minimal sales, however, Capcom have decided to release Okamiden on the Nintendo DS, where you get to play as a chibi version of Amaterasu (the wolf/god you play in Okami).
I don't know much else about the game to be honest, but all I know is that the collector's edition of this game comes with the cutest plushie of a god you will ever get your hands on:
The Collector's Edition also comes with a soundtrack, a DVD, an illustrated Storybook, and a set of Paw-Print style headphones. All of this comes in a beautifully designed box, and will retail in Japan for around ¥8000, which is around $90. I'd expect, if this gets a European release, to retail for around £60 or £70.
Thanks to Kotaku for the news.
That's all from me today. Don't forget to spread the word, and come back tomorrow for more!
