The Point Radio: The Good And Bad Of Milo Ventimiglia

From HEROES to GOTHAM, Milo Ventimiglia has played both the good and bad sides of the coin. So where does he land in his latest project, ABC’s thriller series WHISPERS?  Milo talks about that and just how he picks the right roles. Plus we talk to the creator and stars of SyFy’s DARK MATTER who tackle the big question of just how close is the TV show to the comic.

 We’re back in a couple of days with sexy, liberal radio queen Stephanie Miller, plus a visit to the set of TYRANT and a look at SyFy’s new series, KILLJOYS. Follow us on Twitter now here.

Dean Devlin Wants to Make ‘Stargate’ Sequel

  • News
  • December 9, 2008

Producer/Director Dean Devlin told the press that he has ideas for big screen sequels to his Stargate.

“Roland [Emmerich] and I had always planned to do three films and want to do more,” he said of Stargate which was a 1994 success before finding its true home on television. “MGM has said they want to play out the television series first so we are on the back burner.” Stargate and its spinoffs have been running ever since with the latest iteration, Stargate Universe, due in 2009.

And as to inevitable question about a sequel to Devlin and Emmerich’s most success film, Independence Day, he said, “We never intended to do any films in that series beyond the first one. I think something may happen though as it seems a better idea now the further we get from 911. The visuals of the film would not be much fun in the wake of such a devastating tragedy but since time has passed and the bad guys are aliens and not terrorists perhaps it might be time to revisit it.”
 

Brand New ‘10,000 B.C.’ Trailer Hits the Net

10000bcsabertooth-7833048I’m not sure what you think of director Roland Emmerich’s previous films such as Independence Day, Stargate, The Day After Tomorrow or Godzilla, but I enjoyed them all. Well, at least the first two. But no matter your feelings about the director’s earlier work, you gotta admit that his latest effort, the prehistoric adventure 10,000 B.C., looks pretty darn interesting — judging by what we’ve seen so far.

Fortunately, you’ll get another chance to find out if Emmerich’s latest is for you because there’s a new, just-released trailer for the film over at Yahoo movies. Chock full of action, explosions and plenty of giant CGI creatures, this movie looks like a great ride and this trailer only serves to peak my interest in the film even further.

The film, which features Omar Shariff as well as a cast of relative unknowns including Steve Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis and Tim Barlow, tells the epic story of D’Leh (Straight) a young mammoth hunter and his journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe. Along the way he faces many challenges and pitfalls until finally, his very life is at stake during a massive fight to determine not only his future, but the future of everything he’s ever known.

10,000 B.C. hits theaters November 30th.
