Secrets of the Seven Sounds

The Comic Reel tells us that Virgin Comics has signed a deal to co-producing an animated film based on the Indian myth of Ramayana. The other half of that producion team is Kahani World, Inc.

Everything On DVD!

Sonic Solutions and Macrovision have announced that they will soon enable retail stores to download thousands of films for their customers, burn them onto DVDs, including "extras," even printing cover art work. An analyst at Parks Associates, Kurt Sherf, told Bloomberg News: "This would let retailers stock the titles that sell the most and still have a kiosk that could provide thousands of more films." Since three-quarters of most archived films are not in great enough demand to make their release on DVD viable, this system would eventually enable studios to make their libraries more available on DVD.

Blade Lives? ComicBookMovie.com writes that Neil Jackson (Marcus Van Sciver on the series) posted on his MySpace page that the TV series may not be dead. He wrote: "So, I am sorry to say that SPIKE have not commisioned Blade: The Series for a second season. NEW LINE are still behind the show and are currently shopping for a new home, so things may start a fresh elsewhere. Thank you to everyone who watched the show, stood in our corner and rallied for the cause. It was a blast to work on, and your encouragement and enthusiasm made it all the more so. I know this sentiment is echoed by the rest of the cast and crew. The series is yet to air abroad, and there are also DVD sales which all could contribute to the show being picked up on another network, allowing Blade to rise into a new and glorious dawn (sorry . . . getting a little carried away). But for now I just want to thank everyone for your comments, mails and support. Sincerely . . . Neil."

The Bionic Woman

David Eick has joined with Laeta Kalogridis to create what he describes as a "completely reconceptualized Bionic Woman." He says: "We're using the title as a starting point, and that's all. It's using the idea of artificial technology as a metaphor for what contemporary women sometimes feel is necessary to do everything that needs to be done."

Reservation Road Mira Sorvino has joined Joaquin Phoenix, Jennifer Connelly and Mark Ruffalo in director Terry George's "Reservation Road." In the tragedy, two families clash when the father of one kills the son of the other in a hit-and-run. Phoenix and Ruffalo play the fathers. Jennifer Connelly plays Phoenix's wife and Sorvino plays Ruffalo's ex-wife. Burnham Schwartz adapted his own book (with some revisions by George).

"Lost" & Gone? Josh Holloway told Men's Journal magazine that he sometimes worries that the ABC show's secretive plot will put him out of work. He said: "Everybody in the cast worries about being killed off, and we wouldn't know until they handed us the script - - three days before shooting. It's a sensitive issue. People have houses here, kids in school. Most of us aren't in our twenties anymore." About the character of Sawyer he said: "It still shocks me how people love him. But my take on guys like him is they're just dudes who have a different perspective on how to survive. Truth is, there's a little Sawyer in all of us, and that's why people get into him."
