NBC Returning to 1313 Mockingbird Lane?

It appears as if NBC may be planning to return to 1313 Mockingbird Lane those who inhabit the address - the one and only Munsters.

According to an article by Michael Ausiello NBC has ordered a pilot episode to bring the Munsters to a whole new generation, with Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller helming the project.

The reboot is being described as Modern Family meets True Blood but being on a network channel could limit how far they'd be able to push the content.

In addition to Fuller's name being attached, Guillermo del Toro is also rumored to be attached in a behind-the-scenes role.

No word yet when the pilot would see light of day.

Co-Writer Confirms that SAW 3D Will Be Last Movie

Co-Writer Patrick Melton had this to say about rumors of an eighth SAW script already being written, "At one point we had an idea for two more movies. But after VI opened, we decided to combine everything into one last film, which is SAW 3D. This one is the last shebang!"

So there you have it, the series is coming to a close. Though I guess there's always the inevitable remake of the original which will inevitably spin off into its own original franchise.

SAW 3D is current set to open in theaters October 29th.

Goddammit! PREACHER Will Not Happen On HBO

A while back, Mark Steven Johnson let out early word that he was in talks with HBO to bring Garth Ennis' incredible and controversial comic book series Preacher to the small screen. The show would have turned each of the comics in the sixty issue series into a one hour episode. Unfortunately, that will no longer happen.

Johnson, who wrote both the DAREDEVIL and GHOST RIDER movie adaptations, told an audience Monday at The Continuum "we were budgeting and everything and it was getting really close to going...but the new head of HBO felt it was just too dark and too violent and too controversial. Which, of course, is kind of the point!" Johnson went on to explain that a compromise was discussed but eventually abandoned stating "it was a very faithful adaptation of the first few books, nearly word for word. They offered me the chance to redevelop it but I refused. I've learned my lesson on that front and I won't do it again. So I'm afraid it's dead at HBO."

Rumors of a movie adaptation, or hopefully a series given the massive scope of the comic books, are starting to once again rear their head, but will hopefully go to sleep before anyone catches a whiff. Maybe Showtime will pick up the slack? They could use a dark and edgy show.

A Teaser Poster for THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Already?!

Is this a teaser poster for the next Batman movie THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS while THE DARK KNIGHT is still in theatres?! Absolutely not. Although as cool as can be, and proclaiming that The Riddler being the next villain, this is merely wishful thinking on some photoshop jockey's behalf.

While both director Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale are contracted for three films, there has been no confirmation thus far that they will return for a third time to the world of Batman. I'm all set for a third film, not doubt, guessing and reworking in my mind what the plot will be and what villains will appear, but for now that's all we get to do...
