The good news first: The pop­u­lar TV show Heroes will return to NBC on Sep­tem­ber 15 and accord­ing to SciFi.com it will return big. Ben Sil­ver­man, co-chairman of NBC Enter­tain­ment and Uni­ver­sal Media Stu­dios, said that it will be a three-hour event. They will kick off with a one-hour “clip show” to bring the audi­ence up to date and then they will air “a mas­sive two-hour Heroes film”. Chap­ter Three will be sub­ti­tled “Vil­lains”. If you can’t wait until fall, never fear: NBC is plan­ning to offer up Heroes webisodes in July.

Now let’s move on to the bad news: Heroes: Ori­gins is offi­cially dead. For now. Sil­ver­man explained that they were tax­ing their cre­ative team to do too much around that and so they decided to drop the idea. He went on: “We wanted 35 Heroes [episodes] and 12 Heroes: Ori­gins, each of which was sup­posed to be a mini-movie and back­door pilot. We reached far and chal­lenged our peo­ple, and we decided it was bet­ter to focus on keep­ing the Heroes moth­er­ship as strong as possible.”

The guys from IESB.net have got­ten their hands on some new infor­ma­tion regard­ing the sequel to the Block­buster Trans­form­ers. Accord­ing to them, the Decep­ti­cons will get help in the form of Con­struc­ti­cons. This group of robots con­sists of six sin­gle robots that are known for their abil­ity to merge their bod­ies and minds together to form the gigan­tic Dev­as­ta­tor. Just imag­ine this really big robot on the big screen! Holy Shit. That would be absolutely awe­some, espe­cially since the sequel will be more ambi­tious visu­ally.

In addi­tion to this piece of infor­ma­tion, the IESB has been given human character/casting break­downs which can be found in the arti­cle. You can deduce a few hints as to the sto­ry­line employed if you look closely. I won’t get into details here because I think all the infor­ma­tion pro­vided in this report should be taken with a grain of salt. It may not be the true thing after all. It could well be, though, so enjoy think­ing of an insanely huge robot on ram­page in Trans­form­ers 2.

Finally! Yahoo has the full trailer for Hell­boy II: The Golden Army and it is avail­able in HD too! Sadly, it’s only avail­able at Yahoo, a site known not to always work prop­erly. I hope you are lucky today! What can I say about the trailer? It is awe­some! Fan­tas­tic! Epic! Absolutely mind-blowing! And it most def­i­nitely proves that Guillermo del Toro was involved in Pan’s Labyrinth – some of the crea­tures present in the full trailer seem to come straight out of it. I just can’t wait until July 11th.

Brows­ing the web, I stum­bled upon a site that claims to have new infor­ma­tion on what appears to be a new adver­tise­ment cam­paign for the Playsta­tion 3. Appar­ently, the two pic­tures in ques­tion are some­what dif­fer­ent from the usual ads. Both pic­tures por­tray highly styl­ized scenes which cre­ate an awe­some and mon­u­men­tal impres­sion. The ads focus on a statue of one chil­dren on each of the posters – one male and one female – that stands in the midst of what seems to be a dull scenery. Cer­tainly skill­fully and art­fully done, I like it a lot. But you should take a look for yourself:

I have to admit, I def­i­nitely love this style. It is quite rem­i­nis­cent of one of the very first PS3 games that ever was: Resis­tance: Fall of Man.
