The new movie “Hannibal Rising“, the 4th installment of the popular serial killer movie franchise will be coming to the big screen in Feb. 2007. You can view trailers for the new movie Here, and read reviews and other information Here.

I can’t wait for this movie. I’ve always been a fan of The Silence Of The Lambs.

I will post my own review of the movie once it is released.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is officially on track to become the #1 selling DVD of the Year. This, coupled with the recent extraordinary successes of Cars and the Platinum release of The Little Mermaid, continues to illustrate the enduring appeal of Disney branded movies in the DVD industry. It is our commitment to fans of Disney movies to do everything possible to keep their favorite DVDs in stock throughout the holiday season,” he continued.

Starring Johnny Depp as that mischievous, heroic rogue Captain Jack Sparrow, this epic adventure directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer has taken audiences by storm. The film’s theatrical opening weekend was the biggest in U.S. box-office history, and the high-seas Hollywood tidal wave continues with a worldwide box-office gross of over a billion dollars to date, making it Disney’s most successful movie of all time.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest was released as both a deluxe 2-disc Special Edition DVD set and as a single-disc DVD. The single-disc DVD features screenwriter audio commentary and the hilarious, never-before-seen “Bloopers of the Caribbean.” The Special Edition features limited availability holographic packaging and includes all single disc features, plus a treasure-chest of bonus booty: a behind-the-scenes documentary; a Captain Jack featurette; a sword-fighting featurette; “Creating The Kraken” on the film’s stunning sea beast; “Fly On The Set” - an on location view of filming; a featurette on the legend of Davy Jones; bonus program on the newly “re-Imagineered” Pirates of the Caribbean resort attraction; star-studded, red-carpet Hollywood premiere footage; producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s personal on-set photo diary, and more. Much of the bonus material is exclusive to this DVD release.

NASA deputy administrator Shana Dale says the plans are exciting.

“We don’t know as much about the polar regions,” she said.

The United States had already announced plans to develop new spacecraft to travel to the moon and land on its surface for the first time since the last Apollo flight there in 1972.

It also plans to provide a communications system linking Earth and the moon, but NASA does not plan to go to the moon alone.

The United States will look for international and commercial partners to share the expense and possibly provide components such as additional power systems, living quarters and resources for surface travel on the moon.

NASA is not expecting a budget increase to pay for the program.

Rather, it will transition funds currently being used to support the space shuttle into the moon exploration program as the shuttle fleet is phased out.

The shuttles are set to retire in 2010 and by that time NASA plans to have finished building the space station, leaving the moon initiative as a successor to both programs.

NASA receives about $16 billion a year.

Countries that already have been working with NASA to develop its so-called Global Exploration Strategy are Australia, Canada, China, Europe, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, Italy, Japan, Russia, South Korea and Ukraine.

That is pretty incredible, to think we are close to actually building a base on the moon. 2020 is a long time away though, we’ll see what happens!

Actor Nicolas Cage talks about a possible sequel and National Treasure 2!

At a recent event at Hollywood Forever Cemetery for Sony’s upcoming film Ghost Rider, we had a chance to sit down with the film’s star Nicolas Cage and discuss a possible sequel to the film, as well as National Treasure 2.

In order to save his dying father, young stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze (Cage) sells his soul to Mephistopheles and sadly parts from the pure-hearted Roxanne Simpson (Eva Mendes), the love of his life. Years later, Johnny’s path crosses again with Roxanne, now a gogetting reporter, and also with Mephistopheles, who offers to release Johnny’s soul if Johnny becomes the fabled, fiery Ghost Rider, a supernatural agent of vengeance and justice. Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) charges Johnny with defeating the despicable Blackheart, Mephistopheles’ nemesis and son, who plans to displace his father and create a new hell even more terrible than the old one.

You mentioned if the story to Ghost Rider 2 was good you would consider doing a sequel? Do you have any idea where you see that going?

Nicolas Cage: Well, I think, there’s a line in the movie somewhere where Johnny Blaze says to the police force that he really admires the job that they do, and that when he finishes his stunt cycle career, he intends to apply his skills as a motorcycle policeman. So I could see Johnny Blaze as a superbike cop.

You have a lot projects that you’re attached too, can you clarify where some of them stand?

Nicolas Cage: I don’t know exactly what the next film will be but it’s looking like National Treasure 2. It’s being written as we speak. The hope is that it’s going to be happening. It deals with Abraham Lincoln and Confederate gold; the assassination. It’s interesting stuff. What I like about the National Treasure potential as a series, is that it deals with history, and it’s also entertaining. That’s always a good thing. There are worse things to do than to stimulate young people’s minds about history as you’re entertaining them.

Everyone’s still attached from the first film?

Nicolas Cage: Yeah.

What about Sean Bean?

Nicolas Cage: I’m not sure how it’s going to work just yet.

Ghost Rider opens February 16, 2007 from Columbia Pictures.
