Heroes: Origins
Kevin Smith announced at Comic-Con International in San Diego that he will direct an episode of "Heroes: Origins." Smith said: "This is going to be fun, and I'm very flattered, and it's quite an honor. It was one of those shows where they really mastered the cliffhanger ending. So much so that every time an episode ended I was like, 'Well, I know our kid's waiting downstairs to be fed, but lets watch another one.' And we did, and we went from episode to episode to episode, and it was kind of cool because normally my old lady is just like, 'Comic books, you're such a jerk.' But she fell in love with the show big time, and I was like, 'All right, who's the fag now, right? You.'" "Heroes: Origins" is a six-episode anthology series that will begin airing in April and will run uninterrupted through May. The show will introduce new super-powered characters, one of which will be chosen by the audience to cross over into "Heroes."
The Green Hornet
Seth Rogen, who will co-write and star in "The Green Hornet," reassured reporters that though he is known for comedy, the film will be a straight-up action movie. Rogen said: "We're not doing like a goofy reimagining of The Green Hornet or anything. He's not getting bitten by a radioactive hornet or anything like that. It's something that I've always been a fan of and Evan [Goldberg]'s really into. We're trying to keep it as true to the 1966 TV series as possible. We want it to be an adventure-action movie, somewhere in the world of Lethal Weapon and Indiana Jones, I guess you would say. I mean, totally, that's kind of what we're striving for. We just want it to be fun and kick-ass."

J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is already working on two more books. She said: "I'm sort of writing two things at the moment. One is for children and the other is not for children. The weird thing is that this is exactly the way I started writing Harry . . . I was writing two things simultaneously for a year before Harry took over. So one will oust the other in due course, and I'll know that's my next thing."
