News: Kyle Chandler, 'Hannibal,' 'The Killing,' 'Star Wars,' Jason Momoa...

In a sad piece of news, Mindy McCready passed away, apparently of her own hand, leaving her two children behind.  What a shame.  Ad to top if all off, she allegedly killed her own dog first.  That pisses me off.  Sorry, but sometimes animals become victims of humans and they don't deserve it.

If you've been tracking the new upcoming NBC series titled Hannibal, the news on the street is that it will be premiering on NBC on Thursday, April 4th at 10pm.  But there's worry out there that most shows that premiere in that time slot for NBC seem to have issues, as in ratings issues.  We'll see how that goes.

The new season of The Killing on AMC has landed Peter Sarsgaard and Amy Seimetz.  Despite the crap with the first two seasons of this show, AMC has a chance to fix their image with this third season. And to be honest the first season was pretty good, so they are capable.

Movie Bits:

Everyone has articles titled with question, 'Will Han Solo Return to Star Wars, Episode VII?'  We know there's a Han Solo movie coming...  and it wouldn't be a huge stretch to include the character in VII.

Right now this "news" is a scoop/rumor.  Much like the next obvious conjecture is, will Harrison Ford be making any kind of cameo?  Again, a great question.

Remake Alert!

Looks like MGM is casting their eye on remaking the 1950s hit movie, The Incredible Shrinking Man.  Universal reportedly was looking at a comedic remake/spin but MGM nabbed the rights from them and save us, as it's being reported that they are now looking to make a serious take on the movie.  Good.
