Hey O&G fans, the rumor mill is a buzz that Marvel will get the Fantastic 4 back in exchange for giving fox two X-Men series (and Characters) TV rights that were announced yesterday.

Den of Geek does caution that they don’t have independent verification of what their source told them, but it’s hard to discount the possibility. Marvel’s through-2020 slate does have three untitled movies on their schedule, and one is supposedly Fantastic Four. The source says that the rights reverting back to Marvel include ancillary characters such as Doctor Doom, Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

Interestingly, the deals for Legion and Hellfire were announced as a partnership between 20th Century Fox and Marvel Television, as opposed to Marvel Studios. The Kevin Feige-controlled Marvel Studios reportedly recently left the control of the larger Marvel Entertainment unbrella, which still includes Marvel Television.

Until someone from Fox or Marvel comes forward to confirm this story, all we can do is wait and see what happens.

According to Empire, actor Ben Hardy has been confirmed as Angel in X-Men: Apocalypse by director Bryan Singer. Speaking to the UK mag, Singer had this to say, “Ben Hardy is Angel – I shall confirm it for you! But he’s not a very nice Angel! And that’s all I’ll say…”

This ends speculation as to Hardy's role. Images available with the announcement showed Angel with metallic wings, as in those given to the character by Apocalypse himself, which leads to speculation that the character will be or become the villainous Archangel in the film. But asusming he's Archangel, the question remains, who is Archangel?

X-Men: Apocalypse is set for a May 19, 2016 release

Red Band Society Review

At first the premise of Red Band Society seems bleak. A comedy set in the children's wing of a hospital could be limiting and hospital comedies are few and far between. Fox has adapted Red Band Society from a successful Catalan TV show Polseres Vermelles, that has been running since 2011.  So Fox is putting their faith in executive producer Steven Spielberg and directors like Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (American Horror Story) and Jason Ensler (Hart of Dixie) to make the american adaption a success.

The story revolves around 6 teens who are suffering from various severe illnesses that have made them semi-permanent residents of the pediatric wing of the Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles. The story is narrated by Charlie, a young boy who is currently in a persistent coma. He tells the audience "Yeah, this is me, talking to you. In a coma. Deal with it." This candid, nonchalant and ingenious statement is an illustration of the tone of this eccentric, warm hearted show. Leo Roth, played by Charlie Rowe (Pirate Radio), is a long time resident who has positioned himself as the 'leader' of the group . He knows the hospitals secrets and along with his partner in crime Dash, played by Astro (Earth to Echo, A Walk Among the Tombstones), he loves to break rules like any normal teenager. Other quirky characters include Emma, played by Ciara Bravo, a sardonic and extremely intelligent hip girl suffering from an eating disorder, Kara, played by Zoe Levin, the dictator like cheerleader who is used to getting whatever she want, and new comer Jordi, played by Nolan Sotillo, who has traveled to Los Angeles to convince Dr Jack McAndrew to perform the surgery on his leg, refusing to take no for an answer.

The ringleader of this adolescent circus is  Nurse Jackson, played by Academy Award Winner Octavia Spencer. Best know for her award winning performance in The Help, Spencer is applauded for her blunt, no nonsense humor which is exactly the kind of caretaker Nurse Jackson is. A veteran at Ocean Park she has the know how to ensure the best care for her patients and the heart to nourish and tend to each and every patient, no matter how obnoxious.

The plot and relationships that are developed in Red Band Society could have easily been set in any high school in Los Angeles. The fact that they are set in a hospital wing instead truly makes this new comedy a distinctly original series. The cast of relatively fresh faces creates a frivolous, intelligent clique audiences will love to be a part of!

Red Band Society premieres Wednesday September 17th at 9pm only on Fox.

NYCC: Almost Human and The 100 Pilots Panel

Hey Otakus and Geeks fans, today was the first day of New York Comic Con 2013 and they did not disappoint! The next four days we will be posting news, photos, and special events of the day. Today we attended the Pilots Panel for two shows coming this November and January, Almost Human and The 100. Both Pilots were amazing and something viewers should defiantly check out. Here is a synopsis about each show and opinion about the pilots.


Almost Human

In the year 2048, technology has run amok and spun crime out of control, leading the police department to partner each human cop with an MX-43 android (or “synthetic”) — but Detective John Kennex (Urban), upon waking from a 17-month coma, is having none of that. Still, rules are rules, so he is paired with a decommissioned, “more human” model, the DRN (Ealy) — but just call him “Dorian

Thoughts on The Pilot: The pilot episode was great! I have to admit when I first saw the preview I said "Here we go A.I. feeling emotions show." But I was WRONG!!! The episode starts off with action, suspense, drama and keeps it going the entire time. The mystery about John Kennex (Urban) past memories, the criminal syndicate he is hunting, and why his DNR partner (Early) was decommissioned, is going to make a great first season. I don't want to give too much away so check it out November 4th on Fox.

The 100

In the future, humans live in city-like spaceships orbiting far above Earth's toxic atmosphere. No one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable again. But faced with dwindling resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim their homeland... before it's too late.

 Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a high-stakes mission to recolonize Earth. After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. But they're haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust - and even love - again.

 Thoughts on The Pilot: What happens when you mix Lord of the Fly's, Future Tech, and a great story....... A Better version of After Earth (LOL). What you get is the new CW show The 100. I never saw a preview or heard of the show and was entertained till the end of the episode. The series is based on a book of the same name, the first in a series by Kass Morgan, and developed by Jason Rothenberg. The story starts fast and keeps going. 100 young teens drop on a planet and left to their own devices... you know where this is going. This might become a viewer favorite. The 100 airs January 1 2014.
