Heroes
Major Spoilers Ahead. If that bothers you, move on to the next story!

Slice of SciFi reports here that on a panel for the Museum of Television and Radio's William S. Paley Festival, Tim Kring announced that he knows the fate of every one of the Heroes.
He also stated that he has their destiny for the end of Season One "
all mapped out." Kring said: "I know everyone's fate." He revealed that Mr. Linderman, revealed last week as actor Malcom McDowell, is also a gifted hero and the man behind New York's demise, but, he said, unlike Sylar, his wanton destruction is done with pure intentions. He also told those present that Nathan Petrelli may end up in the Oval Office of the White House, if Linderman's predictions are correct.





Summer Knight

Buzzy Multimedia issued a press release annoucing that the unabridged audio book version of Jim Butcher's "Summer Knight," the fourth novel in his acclaimed Dresden Files series will be available April, 2007 in a 10-CD set, SRP $44.95. James Marsters returns to read the tales of Chicago detective, and practicing wizard, Harry Dresden, who, this time, is drawn into investigating a murder in the world of Faerie that has the potential for literally Earth-shattering consequences. The books are available through the BuzzyMedia Website. Butcher's Dresden books have been loosely adapted for television as the episodic series, "The Dresden Files," currently running on SciFi Channel.

Director Ryuhei Kitumara's "The Midnight Meat Train" based on the story from Clive Barker's "Books of Blood" collection, will star Vinnie Jones, Bradley Cooper, Brooke Shields and Leslie Bibb. The movie will have Jones as a serial killer who finds his victims in the subways. Cooper is a struggling photographer who wants to capture "the subway butcher" on film.
