Mulder and Scully are back with the X-Files: I Want To Believe movie due out this July. The resident Dark Knight guru Charlie found this sweet trailer while digging up some cool Batman spots. It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since the first film came out.

Variety reports that the next J.J. Abrams television venture, Fringe, is getting the official "go" from Fox TV. Nice. I wonder if they will encorporated some sort of viral site with the new series. I'd be sad if they didn't.
Fox just made it official: It's a go for J.J. Abrams' "Fringe."
Two-hour pilot produced by Abrams' Bad Robot and Warner Bros. TV, stars Aussie thesp Anna Torv as a femme FBI agent who tackles cases involving spooky unexplained phenonena with the aid of an out-there scientist and his neer-do-well genius son. Yes, it does sound like "X-Files Redux" but because "Lost" is perhaps the Greatest Show Ever we'll give Team Abrams (whose fearless leader is pictured at left) the benefit of the doubt that they can put a fresh spin on the genre.

J.J. Abrams is returning to the small screen with the mysterious "Fringe" which is due to premiere on Fox this fall. The budget for "Fringe" is very high (Lost budget levels) but is getting good buzz from the heads at Fox.
J.J. Abrams "Fringe" looks like a lock after an enthusiastic response from the network's brass during the weekend. Fox already has given its blessing for staffing to begin on the Warner Bros. TV-produced sci-fi drama.IGN.com talks a little more about "Fringe" and "Dollhouse" which is from Buffy and Firefly guru Joss Whedon.
Some might also fear not getting a fall launch indicates a lack of faith in the project at FOX, especially given Whedon's bad history at the network with Firefly. One thing to keep in mind though is that part of FOX's decision-making with Dollhouse is no doubt affected by the fact that it's a bit behind other series like Fringe. Fringe had a completed pilot script before the writers' strike and a pilot was produced earlier this year. On the other hand, Whedon had not yet begun writing Dollhouse when the strike began. He had to quickly do so when the strike finished and the pilot for the show is currently in production.
The inhouse Batman viral guru, Charlie, was cruising around town in his homemade Batmobile and while at a red light he was flipping through his issue of Rolling Stone and noticed this little blurp about J.J. Abrams.
Charlie and I agree that this may be the first time that anyone from the Cloverfield camp has officially claimed the Cloverfield Monster fate at the end of the movie. Click the above pic to read more.

Aaron Eckhart signals BatmanWith all the viral world of Batman's The Dark Knight it's easy to skip over some of the real articles featuring the movie. The L.A. Times recently took time to sit down with the talented Aaron Eckhart (Harvey Dent, A.K.A. Two-face). I've always enjoyed Eckhart since he won me over with his role in Thank you for Smoking, a good flick to get an idea of how two-face Eckhart can really be!
My Dark Knight guru Charlie pointed me to this L.A. Times article with Eckhart as they discuss the movie, the re-invention of the Joker, and his role as Harvey Dent.

There's some news on the web at what looks like new viral additions to the Cloverfield world. MovieWeb and Cloverfield Clues are two sites that are wondering if new images from a viral site are really from the Cloverfield realm or just elaborate hoaxes. Who knows, but that's the fun in all this.
MovieWeb doesn't look to source where they found their material but a look on the Cloverfield Clues shows that fans at unfiction have again found some new clues. It looks to center around the usgx8810b467233px website which some unfictioners have decoded. Once you pop in the passwords you'll get a look at this.
While some see this as clues to a sequel to Cloverfield it should be noted that there is rumored new viral material arriving with the Blu-ray version of the movie in June (which is why all the fuss for its delay).
Here's a much better quality video of the latest Dark Knight trailer we all talked about last week. It sure beats the shaky, handheld cell-phone versions from last week!
Thanks to the resident Dark Knight guru Charlie you can download (or view) the high-def version yourself from the latest WhySoSerious Happy Trails viral site.
