With the Toyfair behind us, we turn an eye to what happened elsewhere. We've got something of a theme in nerd news of late- a resurgence of 80's franchises. See how Hollywood's bringing back the 80's, this week,in geek!
Dean Cain and Helen Slater join CBS' Supergirl
Former Superman and Supergirl Dean Cain and Helen Slater have now been confirmed for roles on the TV drama- no news yet who. Here's hoping to see Dean in the spandex with modern effects!
Harrison Ford to return in Blade Runner sequel
In another surprise return, Harrison Ford has been signed onto a Blade Runner sequel, to return as Rick Deckard. My only request is that they keep it to the viewer if Deckard is a replicant.
'Jem' movie produces first image
Jem and the Holograms. If I had to pick a toyline I never thought would get a feature film, Jem and the Holograms would be it. The first image confirms the movie seems to be going for the neon 80's style of the toys- truly outrageous.
Disney announces DuckTales revival
In other 80's revival news, Disney is working on a revival of DuckTales for the Disney XD cable channel. The show is set to get to air in 2017. Until then, I think it's safe to assume every day, they're out there making DuckTales. (Woo-oo!)
This blog is a haven. A little corner of the internet for us. A place where I intend to report on, and celebrate, geek culture. Video games, anime, comic books, action figures- even tokusatsu. Don't be ashamed. Stand proud for your fandoms. For all those little things you love. And let your geek flag fly!
