There ’s a Modern plot outline out that ’s different from the previous one in a few crucial respect . Here ’s the original :
When the bunch of the Enterprise is called back home , they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own arrangement has detonated the fleet and everything it support for , leaving our world in a Department of State of crisis . With a personal score to settle , Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war - zone earth to captivate a one human being weapon of aggregate end . As our heroes are propelled into an heroic Bromus secalinus game of life and death , love will be challenged , friendly relationship will be torn asunder , and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left : his gang .
And now liken that with the new one :

In the wake of a disgraceful act of little terror from within their own organisation , the crew of The Enterprise is called back home to Earth . In rebelliousness of regulation and with a personal score to adjudicate , Captain Kirk lead his crew on a manhunt to charm an unstoppable military unit of destruction and bring those responsible to justice . As our heroes are impel into an epic cheat game of life and dying , lovemaking will be challenged , friendships will be snap aside , and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has leave alone : his crew .
The two main variety are that it ’s now expressed that Kirk is operating without Starfleet approval in taking on Benedict Cumberbatch ’s villain , and that Cumberbatch would come out to be working as one member of a larger radical . [ The Global Dispatch ]
Thanos is all but sustain as the main villain for Joss Whedon ’s Avengers subsequence , but Tom Hiddleston is n’t sure whether Loki will again be there stirring up difficulty as well :

“ I do n’t cognise , and that really is the honorable answer . I know I ’ve been known for bewilderment in other quarter , but I have no idea , I have n’t spoken to Joss . He ’s definitely doing it . So I mistrust not , only because I think that probably the audience are threadbare of Loki being the bad guy wire . Maybe the Avengers need somebody else to oppose . But I ’d love to be part of it again . ”

New Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy suggests there will be a reasonably substantive update about the young Star Wars movie sometime early in the new year :
“ I have no immediate update , but hopefully in January I ’ll have something that I can say . ”
Since it ’s already known that Little Miss Sunshine and Catching Fire writer Michael Ardnt is handling the screenplay , most citizenry seem to be guessing that this update will discover who is address the new pic , as that ’s the next logical bit of news show to reveal . That , however , is just speculation at this stage . [ TheForce.net ]

Meanwhile , that Reuters reportthat had everybody think Episode VII would return to Yavin and show us a new Jedi Academy has been expose already . Reporter Michael McDonaldtells TheForce.net :

This was a mistake . I misapprehend what fan clubs had tell me and show me in book plots and that storyline has not been announced by Disney . Perhaps I should have written something along the lines of ‘ Yavin 4 appears in several Star Wars book plot and while Guatemala fans said they hope pic work party return to Tikal , the company has not announce plan for the newfangled episode . ’

Damon Lindelof , who did an all-inclusive enough revision on Jon Spaihts ’ Prometheus script to share the screenwriting deferred payment , says he will not be involved in writing the subsequence :
I am not . Ridley [ Scott ] and I speak at great length during the story physical process of the first movie about what subsequent movies would be if Prometheus were to be successful . And I cogitate that the movie ended in a very specific fashion that hinted at , or strongly imply that there were going to be go forward adventures worthy of writing write up . What those narrative would be would not of necessity usurp or transcend the Alien franchise as we saw it because we have a go at it that the Nostromo has n’t come along yet . So the idea was to set up a universe that … Is it a prequel ? Okay . If that ’s what we desire to call it , certain . But the sequel to this picture is not Alien . The continuation to this movie is this other thing .

He then explain that he just would n’t be able-bodied to multi - task effectively enough to get the script indite :
The affair about Prometheus was it was a revision . Jon Spaihts wrote a script and I rewrite it . And still it was a class of my living that I spent on Prometheus , kind of all in . The idea of build a sequel to it — from the ground up this clip — with Ridley is staggeringly exciting . But at the same sentence , I was like , “ Well that ’s in all likelihood going to be two years of my life . ” I ca n’t do what J.J. [ Abrams ] does . I do n’t have the capableness . I ’m normally very exclusive - apt creatively . I can only be working on one thing at a time . So I aver to him , “ I really do n’t retrieve I could get working on this movie until I do this other material . And I do n’t know when the other stuff is going to be done . ” And he was like , “ Well , okay , it ’s not like I necessitate you anyways . ” He and I are on excellent full term and it was a aspiration come true to work with him . But much to the delight of all the fanboys , I do n’t see myself being involved in Prometheus - er .

Here ’s a new international poster . [ come Soon ]
The BBC has publish their press pack for next week ’s Christmas special , “ The Snowmen ” , and here are some key jot from Steven Moffat :
The Christmas episode is Doctor Who , only more so , and this year we ’re go for more larger-than-life . The Doctor , when we meet him , is n’t in a unspoiled place . A bit like when we first encountered William Hartnell as the Doctor in 1963 – or indeed Christopher Eccleston in 2005 – this a cold and draw off Time Lord , wanting no part of the world around him . It ’s going to take a draw of Christmas tone to get him back out those TARDIS doors .

This episode welcome Jenna - Louise Coleman . What can you tell apart us about her lineament ?
It ’s choke to quite a journeying of uncovering with Jenna and her quality – and it does n’t start here , it starts on Christmas day . For now , enough to say , that the Doctor in his glum 60 minutes , long ago in a Victorian wintertime receive the exactly the right someone . Or does he ?
And raw companion Jenna - Louise Coleman discusses her persona Clara , who fit in to this first meets the Doctor while working as a barmaid at the maybe importantly named Rose and Crown pub , then go following him :

“ She is from the Victorian era and a inscrutable one . Very down to earth , but feisty and peculiar too with numerous problem . He has the result to her questions . She is n’t restrain by the Doctor . Instead , she finds him awful and ludicrous . But she is on her own mission and lives by her own means . She is very resourceful . ”
And finally here ’s a hint from guest sensation Tom Ward about his character , Captain Latimer :
“ He has n’t been used to handle with his children . He wants to jazz them , but he is an sometime naval captain that has struggled to build a human relationship . ”

Life , Doctor Who , and Combom has compiled all the various spoiler - y hints and out - of - context quotation released by other sites . We ’ll share a selection , but do hold back out the original sites orthe Combom pagefor all of them . Here are some fromDoctor Who TV :
The “ First Question ” is enquire twice more !

A supporter of the doc brought Strax back to life after the battle of demon Run
“ I never know why . I only make out who ”
“ Do you have a goldfish name Colin ? ”

“ That ’s Strax and as you’re able to see , he is easily confused ! ”
Bow linkup are still very coolheaded . Although it takes someone to remind the Doctor of this .
Now onto some quotes fromCult Box :

“ Psychotic potato gnome . ”
“ It could be a severe weapon in the haywire hands . ”
“ Why would I run ? I know what ’s give-up the ghost to hap next . ”

“ Do you think I ’m gon na start investigate just because some snort smile at me ? ”
“ You invented Pisces . ”
“ I suggest a full frontal assault with automated laser monkeys , scalpel mines and acid . ”

And finally some fromDigital Spy :
Long - time Who lover will love the new title successiveness – warrant .
“ I do n’t need anyone else . ”
The snowmen and Richard E Grant ’s Dr Simeon may not be the only lurking scourge …
“ Do you require to see where she break down ? ”
“ The Great Swarm is approaching ! ”

When asked about the opening of the Master returning to the show , Matt Smith throw out quite possibly the most awesomely amazing , perfectly bonkers casting suggestion ever :
“ Is The Master coming back ? Who knows ? We ’d love to have William Shatner on Doctor Who I ’m sure . He ’s a sci - fi God ! He ’d be enceinte . John Simm is moderately bloody good in the purpose though . ”
For his part , Steven Moffat reply to this possibility by hint John Simm still very much considers himself the Master and would press an octogenarian to keep the part , which I think ca n’t be a tough sign for his eventual payoff :
“ I sleep together William Shatner but John Simm is The Master … John Simm would mystify [ Shatner ] up if he thought he was go to take that part . William Shatner being The Master would be too confusing would n’t it ? He ’s Captain Kirk ! It ’s already confusing that there are now two Captain Kirks . But if I was see it I would n’t tell you . ”

I consider we ’ve pretty much put that whole weird story about Harry Potter director David Yates making an all - new Doctor Who movie to bed , but Steven Moffat keep come back to the account every few month and doing the verbal equivalent of nuking it from cranial orbit , just to be trusted it ’s well and really dead :
The matter that I would find intolerable is that you get a film instead of the tv set serial because the television receiver serial is more important . And I do n’t think any showrunner or succeeding showrunner of Doctor Who would stick out the estimate that David Yates was talking about , of rebooting it and having a second continuity . That ’s just nonsense . dead mad and a straightforward abuse to the audience . We ’d never , ever do that . The question would be how could we do it without delaying or harming the television show ? I think it could be fabulously exciting to see that TARDIS fly on the big projection screen . It would just be how do we arrange it ? And how do we check that we have … no offense , but you all of a sudden take American money and they wait to separate you what to do and all that . I would n’t be happy with that . But it will take place someday , I ’m sensibly confident .

Returning star Dylan McDermott discuss his new use as Bloody Face II :
Ryan [ Murphy ] is the one who designed the character . Then , we talked at length on how he would look and what we need . We hail up with this grey mullet approximation and the tattoos , and how I ’m really a drab leash guy , as opposed to the psychiatrist that Ben Harmon was . I think we were both looking to do something radically unlike than we had last season , but it was Ryan ’s invention .
Did you work directly with Zachary Quinto on your characterization of the Logos of Bloody Face , or was there anything you observe him do that inform the choices that you made for your theatrical role ?
I just watched him and pick up a few of his foible . There is one scene come up where we ’re in the same room . In the author ’ room , they put up a delineation of me and Zach and Sarah , to see if I could be their Logos , when they were casting it , and I guess I passed the trial . I think that we do have some similar qualities , in our darker features , so I do n’t think it ’s much of a leap . But , I did test to heed to his representative and look at his mannerisms , a small bit .
How many more episodes will you be appearing in ?
I believe I will be in the next three out of four .
There ’s more good clobber at the connection . [ Collider ]
Costar Matt Stokoe discusses where he would like to see his character Alex head in the time to come :
I ’d care to be a super - villain , but I really do n’t know where he ’s go . In this serial it was principally to do with Alex ’s prompt trouble , we did n’t really learn that much about him , so there ’s still a lot to be discovered . I ’ve always want to play a super - villain so hopefully I ’ll come back with a cape and a big twirly moustache .
I think a super - villain is something that Misfits has n’t really seen yet . They have these guest villains but if there was some over - riding , evil , character that they were all trying to kill throughout the time of year – or he was trying to defeat them throughout the season – that could be brilliant . The estimable thing about Misfits is that you get to dabble in everything . No one is a really full person and no one is a really uncollectible soul – they ’ve find these real human flaw . It ’s essentially a really , really , really disconsolate comedy so you get to deform those muscle as well . But everyone call up the villain , so that ’s always been a dreaming of mine .
