Sam Flynn Lives! - Garret Hedlund Confirmed for Next TRON

Good news programs!  After news broke last week that Walt Disney had hired scribe Jesse Wigutow to rewrite the next TRON film, NextMovie is confirming that TRON: Legacy star, Garret Hedlund will be returning to the grid as Sam Flynn.

While little has been revealed about the project, including a plot or a title, the next TRON film is rumored to explore "life and death in the digital realm".  Hearing that, might we expect to see the return of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges)?

While it's only speculation on my part right now, I would put money on it based on the short that was included with the Blu-Ray of TRON: Legacy (*cough*FLYNN LIVES*cough*).

What do you think of the news?  Are you excited for another trip to the grid?  Are you interested in seeing where the story goes?  As always, let me know what you think in the comments below.

New Teaser Trailer for Man of Steel

Not wanting to be too movie trailer focused today, but this is a film I'm extremely excited for.

Warner Brothers Pictures has just released the newest teaser trailer to Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman flick, Man of Steel.  The trailer was originally supposed to first appear attached to The Hobbit, which hits theaters this Friday, but you won't hear any complaints from me.

The trailer, while not giving a great look at the story, definitely gives a glimpse of the film's scale and emotional back story of Clark's journey to accept his powers...very similar to early seasons of Smallville, which I happened to love.

You can check out the latest teaser embedded after the jump.  And be sure to let me know what you think of the look Snyder's going for in the comments below.

Man of Steel will hit theaters everywhere on June 14th, 2013.

Lack of Updates

Hi all.  I just wanted to get a quick post up addressing the lack of updates you've undoubtedly noticed over the last month or so.

If you keep up with multiple blogs like me, you know there hasn't been a shortage of stuff going on in the "nerd-o-sphere" that could've and should have been posted on the blog.  Unfortunately for you, the readers, I've taken on more and more responsibility at work and just haven't had the time to dedicate myself to researching/writing many of the top stories and general nerdiness that have been popping up lately.

If you've been an active reader so far, I just want to apologize and thank you for your support.  In the meantime, I am going to make much more of an effort on making regular posts again, so please bare with me.  They may not be at the frequency that they once were, but most definitely won't be the "one post everything three months", that most personal blogs end up being.

Again, thank you for sticking with me and be on the look out for new posts.  If you have any suggestions or stories you want to see on the site, feel free to shoot me an email or a tweet...contact info is located on the "contact" section above.

Thanks for your patience and as always, stay nerdy my friends.
