Photo from www.slashfilm.comDirected By Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the two mad men behind Crank, the story takes place “in the not too distant future.” Kabel (Gerard Butler), a death row inmate, has unwittingly become a pop culture hero. Every week, millions worldwide tune in online to watch him and hundreds of other convicts battle in Slayers, an ultra-violent multi-player online game invented by technological genius Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). To the wealthy young gamer who controls his every move, Kable is just a sim (simulation) character. To the resistance group that opposes Castle’s games as high-tech slavery, he is a critical element in their battle to take down the inventor. Caught in the crosshairs of two opposing forces and under the command of a teenager’s remote device, Kable must use his extraordinary fighting skills to escape the game, bring down Castle and overthrow the system. Game is currently scheduled for a TBA Fall 2008 release.Source: /film
I just realized that James McAvoy isn't listed as guest anymore for Monday. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it was probably a scheduling project. Hopefully he'll be on another show to promote Wanted.
Dougray Scott is set to star in the upcoming two-part TV thriller False Witness. The series is set in Sydney, Tajikistan, and London and is based on real life events including the 1997 theft of five Soviet built nuclear "suitcase bombs". The mini-series which also stars Dougray's wife Claire Forlani will premier on UK TV in early 2009. Production is currently under way in Sydney.
Wanted's official London world premier on Thursday, June 12 has been cancelled according to James McAvoy online. Someone on the imdb message board pointed out that they couldn't find this news anywhere else, but I have a feeling it's probably true. 
Got this from After Elton:That's right, folks: You voted, and decided that Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) gave us the hottest lip-locks of the year as on-again, off-again lovers and Torchwood colleagues. (Given the nature of their working relationship, does that mean that Ianto always has to clean up the office after? Ruuuuude...)
If you didn't catch the kissing action in question, I've posted the clip after the break of their most recent smooch. And if you didn't catch the NewNowNext Awards when they aired on Saturday night, be sure to check out the whole show over here.
To check out a clip of the kiss in question you can go here. Sorry people, I wish I could embed the clip but it's too large to embed on a blog. Sigh.

Here are some brand new photos of Gerard Butler in a hot air balloon on the California set of his upcoming movie The Ugly Truth with Ketherine Heigl. It's kind of a weird irony that today is the anniversary of the first hot air balloon - thank you google for that useless information! The photos were taken on Tuesday.
Today is Golden Globe nominated actor Brian Cox's birthday. The actor who has starred in films like The Bourne Supremacy, 25th Hour, and The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep turns 62 today.
