The Oscar winning director is apaprently all set to direct the Bee Gees biopic as he sees it as “box-office gold”. And I don’t think he’s just talking about their metallic get-up.

The Hobbit will begin filming in February 2011, unless a giant eagle comes and crushes Peter Jackson’s head on behalf of underpaid Kiwi extras. What? Only a wizard could delay one project for SO BLOODY LONG.

Another short-cartoon series from the people at Adult Swim, Metalocalypse is just as odd as you might expect. Playing like This Is Spinal Tap crossed with the most violent comic book you’ve ever read, it is simultaneously a celebration and send-up of heavy metal culture. Utilising an approach that is both daft and darker than coal, the series showcases not just the idiocy of its protagonists – petulant death metal band, Dethklok – but also the widest array of horrific concepts you’re ever likely to see. What’s worse; a man who eats live babies, or an irresponsible metal band running amok? Watching this DVD may be the only way to find out.

As Movember approaches, gentlemen everywhere will be seeking to adorn their upper lip with a moustache to rival all others. Essex boy and naysayer David Hill was resolutely clean-shaven… Until he decided, pretty much on a whim, to enter the 2007 World Moustache And Beard Championship. Follow his amazing journey into a world where the moustache does indeed make the man.

Echoing the real-life horrors of Guantanamo Bay, The Good Soldier follows the progression of Sean Roberts as he’s promoted from soldier to interrogator in a hypothetical British civil war. Will he make the ultimate sacrifice in order to become the stone-cold interrogator the military wants him to be?

As part of the Sci-Fi-London OktoberFest, The Royal Observatory in Greenwich put on a super special event investigation all things extra-terrestrial. There were masked mutants at every entrance, an alien adventure game and a tour of space from the amazing planetarium. Plus, a special screening of Gareth Edward’s low budget, sci-fi film Monsters finished off the universal evening. Nice.

Two major adult entertainment studios have had to cancel orders for eight thousand gallons of baby oil after an HIV scare forced them to suspend production on all their nasty little films.

Yesterday we reported that Alec Baldwin may be set to join upcoming threequel, Men in Black III. Are Tamara Drewe star Gemma Arterton and District 9‘s Sharlto Copley set to follow suit?

We all have our foibles. Some of us chew with our mouths open, for instance. But we can work it out – just CLOSE IT! But there are some of us who act on their weaknesses. Like the two fellas who had a yearning to be near Johnny Depp so much that they attempted to break into his trailer. In full pirate get-up.

I’ll never know what made the mysterious Banksy make a pretty accesible opening sequence for The Simpsons but gosh dammit, I wish I could. With his anti-agendas, why hook up with “The Man”? Yes, artists are allowed to get involved in other stuff but all I can say is “Keep It Real”. It’s on. Banksy vs Dali.
