300 Sequel?

With 300’s epic bloodbath matched only by its own epic gross, it should come as no surprise that the studios want to get working on a sequel. Producer Mark Canton was all smiles and winks when talking about 300 and expressed a strong interest in working with director Zack Snyder again. Canton seemed to imply that all they were waiting for was the thumbs up from Warner Bros. which can’t be all that far off.

Most assuredly Frank Miller and Zack Snyder would be courted and lured back for this story or the flick would most assuredly suffer. No news on what the story would entail, what battles it would cover, or when it would take place, or with who. Sparta was a dominate player for a fairly long period of war and faced off against both the Persians and other Greek states. The sequel could chronologically move forward to either the Battle of Platea (pictured briefly at the end of the film) where the Spartans, at full force, crushed the Persians. The Spartans also played a large role in the Peloponnesian War and even went against, and defeated Athens, on land and at sea.

FUTURAMA FOUR-PART SPECIAL HEADED TO COMEDY CENTRAL

Emmy Award -winning animated series FUTURAMA has landed at Comedy
Central for the premiere of "Bender's Big Score," scheduled to debut as a four-part epic on Sunday, March 23, beginning at 8 p.m.

Starring in their first-ever television epic, Bender, Fry, the Professor, Leela and the rest of the Planet Express crew face the forces of time travel, gold plated Death Stars and alien spammers.

See just how strong the bonds of friendship are when a tattoo on Fry's butt forces him to flee the future and puts Bender on a manhunt to kill his best friend. With the fabric of space and time tearing apart and the Planet Express held captive, can Bender and Fry reconcile before the
universe is destroyed forever?

FUTURAMA focuses on the life of Philip Fry (Billy West), a 25-year-old
pizza delivery boy who accidentally freezes himself December 31, 1999
and wakes up 1,000 years later with a fresh start at life. His "diverse"
new group of friends includes Turanga LeeLa (Katey Sagal), a tough, but
lovely one-eyed alien, and Bender (John DiMaggio), a robot who possesses
human characteristics and flaws.

The show also features guest stars such as Sarah Silverman, Hank Azaria,
Bob Odenkirk, Pamela Anderson, Beatrice Arthur, Lucy Liu, Beck and
Coolio.

FUTURAMA aired on Fox from 1999 to 2003 and the series consists of 72
episodes. It was nominated five consecutive years and won three Emmys,
including Outstanding Animated Program in 2002.

FUTURAMA is produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox Television. The
show is created and executive produced by Matt Groening with co-
executive producers David X. Cohen, Ken Keeler and Eric Horsted.

An Avalanche on Mars!


What caused this sudden cloud of dust on Mars? An avalanche! The first avalanche imaged in progress on another planet was recorded last month on Mars by NASA's robotic Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Visible in the above picture, digitally rescaled, are several layers of white ice thawing over red rock, with darker colors toward the right indicated Martian soil that mixed with lesser amounts of ice. As the cliff of over 700 meters high was thawing, falling ice crashed down raising plumes of ice and dust so thick they cast visible shadows. The scarp has slopes with grades greater than 60 degrees. The entire scene is illuminated from the upper right by the Sun. A thaw occurs each spring in the Northern Hemisphere of Mars, as the warming climate causes solid carbon dioxide ice to sublimate directly to vapor. Studying such avalanches allows planetary geologists to better understand soil configurations on Mars.
