News Bites: '10 Things' Heads to TV, Haters, and More
A long time passed since 10 Things I Hate About You hit the big screen. Julia Stiles got Bourne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has become a powerhouse on the indie scene, and Heath Ledger ... we know what became of him. I'm guessing that his death and reminiscing moments about his work is what inspired this next piece of news: Ace Showbiz reports that ABC Family is going to make the Shakespeare-inspired film into a television series, with the film's director, Gil Junger, signed on to helm the pilot. In it, Kate and

10 Things I Hate About You Coming To The Small Screen
10 Things I Hate About You is such a good, classic chick flick!  I mean, seriously, who doesn't get a little misty eyed when Julia Stiles chokes up reading her poem in class?  Well, ABC wants to take advantage of the success that the storyline had as a movie and bring it to the small screen. The movie's director of "10 Things", Gil Junger, will also shoot the pilot, which is written and executive produced by Carter Covington. The series will focus more on sisters Kate and Bianca Stratford

10 Things I Hate About This Idea
It was announced today that ABC Family is going to adapt "10 Things I Hate About You" into a weekly TV series that will shift the focus from Patrick's courtship of Kat Stratford to her sibling rivalry with Bianca. I'm not a huge fan of this idea -- mostly because every time I've seen "10 Things" on TBS since January, Heath Ledger's tragic death is all I can think about and worry the same will be true of the TV series. But since I love this movie more than my Sketchers -- which is just because I don't have a

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gil Junger, the director of the film 10 Things — which introduced audiences to the late Heath Ledger — has signed on to direct the pilot.

Greek's Carter Covington will write and executive produce the single-camera show. The network also greenlit Ruby and the Rockits, headlined by Sp

BLASPHEMOUS!
I’m sure that if there’s one thing Heath Ledger would approve of from beyond-the-grave, it would be this.  The Joker-jacking cover to G-Unit senior citizen Tony Yayo’s latest mixtape S.O.D. featuring (and designed by) laptop DJ Whoo Kid pulls no punches and at the same time earns no points in good taste.

WAMG visits Archon St. Louis 2008
Scott and I made an appearance at Archon St. Louis 2008 on Saturday, October 4 to interview Mystery Science Theater and Cinematic Titanic creator John Hodgson (which we’ll have up on the site soon). Afterwards, we hung around and put in some time scoping out this massive annual Sci-Fi & Fantasy Convention. Held at the Gateway Center in Collinsville, Illinois (just across the Ole Miss), this convention was really cool, but not targeted at the casual sci-fi/fantasy fan. Granted, all are welcome to a

‘G.I. Joe’ Movie Will Reveal ‘Twisted’ Cobra Commander; Mask And Menacing Voice Included
We know Joseph Gordon-Levitt is excited for his role as Cobra Commander in “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra,” but just what exactly can we expect from his take on the iconic character? While viewers of the cartoon know the figure as a more whimsical evildoer, fans of the comic — used to a bombastic terrorist who entombed his own son — are feverishly hoping their version of the Cobra leader is the one that makes it on-screen. Thankfully, it sounds like they’ll get their wish. “As

ABC Family “10 Things I Hate About You” TV Series
The 1999 teen comedy that starred Gabrielle Union, Julia Stiles, and a pre-Oscar-nominated Heath Ledger as a group of wild high schoolers is being re-developed for the small screen. ABC Family has given the green-light to a half-hour version of 10 Things I Hate About You. Based on the film of the same name, the new series will shadow a teen feminist and her All-American younger sister as they struggle to adapt to the challenges of high school.

Would You Watch a TV Version of 10 Things I Hate About You?
I was a fan of 10 Things I Hate About You, the 1999 Taming of the Shrew update that starred Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger. But could a TV series based on the story also be great — or would that be taking things too far? ABC Family is looking to find out, as they've just picked up a pilot for a potential series based on the movie. This one would focus more on the sisters, according to Zap2it: Both girls attend Padua High and must juggle their social lives, boys and their over-protective dad, but approac

‘G.I. Joe’ Star Joseph Gordon-Levitt Undergoes Transformation For Cobra Commander Role
While most of the cast of “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra” has already been revealed in all their costumed glory, Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s take on the fanatical Cobra Commander is one that’s remained firmly mysterious. Now thanks to a new chat with the actor, we’ve managed to learn just a little more of what to expect when the film hits theaters in August 2009. With a number of iconic costumes in his wardrobe, the look of the character has been first and foremost on the minds of fans.
