-- Robert Rodriguez has some updates on "The Jetsons," "Predators," "Nervewrackers" and "Sin City 2." Click it. You know you'd like to know more. (Sci Fi Wire)

-- Huge news. Bryan Singer is now confirmed to be directing a silver screen reboot of "Battlestar Galactica." This was reported earlier by Hitfix, but the news has now been confirmed. Fans of Ron Moore's take on the franchise shouldn't rise up in angry protest just yet. The project is literally at ground zero right now. With Singer on board, now it's time to find a writer, figure out the course such a project might take. Might Ron Moore step in to deliver a script? Anything is possible. We shall see, fellow "BSG" fans. (Variety) Read more...

For several years now, I’ve enjoyed keeping an eye peeled for new ads from DirecTV; they’ve been playing off a nifty gimmick that brings stars back to their classic movie roles (Sigourney Weaver in “Aliens,” Robert Patrick in “Terminator 2,” Jessica Simpson in “Dukes of Hazard”...well, okay, maybe they’re not all classics) and has them taking a quick timeout to address us about the joys of satellite TV.

It's hard to believe, but the classic horror film "Poltergeist" is a quarter-century old. Fittingly then, Warner Bros. is releasing a "25th Anniversary Edition" with fully restored video and audio tracks and a bevy of special features. The DVD drops October 9, but you can see a clip right now.

If that's enough for you, be sure to check your local listings (as they say). "Potergeist" is being shown on the big screens all across the country this Thursday night.
