These Are The Kind Of Reboots I Can Get Behind... Rosemary's Baby Comes To TV !!!

I am of the opinion that nothing is above a reboot or re-do... nothing at all. But I do believe that there must be a valid reason for doing it other than just for the fuck of it. Like when Stephen King wanted to re-do The Shining. He never liked the way Stanley Kubrick's version of the book turned out (which while I think Kubrick's movie is great it is VASTLY different than the book), and he wanted an adaption that could be closer to the book. Same thing went with the Total Recall reboot. The directors/producers promised something that would echo the original book by Philip K Dick... something that was severely lacking in Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. Or maybe you just want to tell a different kind of a story... like what Marc Webb is doing with the Spider-Man reboot or what Chris Nolan did with his Batman trilogy. There are reasons, and then there are VALID reasons. That is usually the only thing I want to see before I can get behind a reboot. And this DEFINITELY seems to be the case with NBC's remake of Rosemary's Baby. The new series (which will be 4 hours in total length) will have more screen time to explore more of the intricacies between Rosemary & the cult while she is pregnant with her baby, as well as weaving in more of the book by Ira Levin that may have been left on the cutting room floor by Roman Polanski. Even though Polanski's version is damn near perfect and doesn't need updating/re-doing, this idea is not really too bad. It updates the setting to modern times, one of the only knocks when trying to have someone new watch the film for the first time. It is just so hard for someone in 2014 to understand what everyday life was like in the late 1960s. Now the story is contemporary, so we can get a much more up to date version of the setting. Also, Zoe Saldana is set to take on Mia Farrow's role as Rosemary. That is something I can get behind, and it also adds the racial aspect to the mix. Jeffrey 'Malfoy Senior' Isaacs will be taking on Roman Castevet, a classic role turned in by Sidney Blackmer back in 1968. The mini series will be out this summer (I love original programming in the summer... especially HORROR programming!) and you can see the first short teaser trailer after the jump...

Model Callie Cosplay Takes On Gamora... Sexily, Of Course!!!!

Guardians of the Galaxy will be here sooner rather than later... and while comic geeks are dying to see what they do with Rocket Raccoon & Groot, it is some of the other characters that people should really start to get familiar with. The one that stands out to me is Gamora, the sex appeal of the team as the only woman member. Yup, she is green-skinned and mean... but don't you dare mistake her for She Hulk!!! Gamora has been around since 1975 and has a seriously checkered past in the comics that are sure to play a part in Phase II and Phase III of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Gamora is Thanos's step-daughter, and the big cosmic baddie was teased at the end of Avengers. Given that Avengers II will be The Age of Ultron, it seems like Thanos is slated to be the big baddie in Guardians instead... which is AWESOME on so many levels. I am sure that Gamora will start off loyal to her pops and maybe see the light... and she is being brought to life on the screen by the lovely Zoe Saldana. That is sure to be a treat for the eyes at the very least. As we await to Ms. Colombiana in the green body paint, to hold you over here is an excellent gallery of model Callie Cosplay bringing the sexy alien to life. She really captures the essence of the character, and her costume is perfectly close to the original. Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters in 2014... in the meantime, we will always have Callie as Gamora...

Zoe Saldana Is Playing Gamora In 'Guardians of the Galaxy'... Color Me Intrigued!!!!

Casting news abound... and this is the kind of casting news that gets people excited for a project that is still 16 months away. Zoe Saldana, who is quickly becoming a fave among genre fans, has been cast as Gamora in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. Saldana is an intricate part of JJ Abrams Star Trek rebooted universe, was in Avatar, and was in comic book adaption The Losers (a very underrated movie...check it). She knows her way around a comic con... but this role will earn her infinite geek cred in the foreseeable future. Click after the jump for more...
