Movie news

 * Frank Darabont blames George Lucas for the delays in Indiana Jones 4. He says that Steven Spielberg "was very, very happy with the script and said it was the best draft of anything since Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Lucas read it and said, 'Yeah, I don't think so, I don't like it.'"
 * Ewan McGregor will star in a futuristic British film entitled Franklyn. The movie features four people--two in the present day, and two in a less-than-ideal future--whose lives unexpectedly intersect.
 * Roger Corman and John Davison will make Space 3001, a sci-fi action movie set in Ireland.
 * Castlevania, a film adaptation of the video game by Paul W.S. Anderson, will start filming next spring. They are currently seeking locations to represent 15th century Transylvania with Vlad the Impaler.
 * The trailer for Spider-Man 3 will be released tomorrow (Thursday, November 9) at 9 p.m. CT on IFilm.com.
 * The new movie Déjà Vu comes out November 22.
 * The Simpsons movie is set for July, 2007.
 * Ali Larter will join Milla Jovovich in Resident Evil: Extinction, coming out September, 2007.
 * National Treasure 2 is scheduled for December 21, 2007. This one will be based on Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth, and eighteen missing pages from Booth's diary.
 * The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is scheduled to come out May 16, 2008.
 * Someone asked why Prince Caspian was coming out second. The answer is that it is the second book in the series.  The confusion may come from the fact that some editions have it as the fourth book, when the books are re-arranged into chronological order rather than original publication order.
 * The Incredible Hulk, sequel to 2003's Hulk, will come out June 27, 2008.
 * Wall-E, a Pixar animated film, is also scheduled for June 27, 2008.

Television news

 * Lena Headey will star in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
 * ABC will air a 30-minute special, Shrek the Halls, this December.
 * The Sci-Fi Channel will air a mini-series entitled The Lost Room (formerly known as Motel Man), about a key that unlocks a motel door that is actually a portal to other dimensions. It will air December 11-13; it stars Peter Krause, Julianna Margulies, Kevin Pollak, and Margaret Cho.
 * Jericho will have a cliffhanger on November 29, then go on hiatus until February 21, 2007, when it will return with a new episode each week until the end of the season (like Lost).
 * 24's new day will begin with a four-hour, two-night premiere on Sunday and Monday, January 14-15, on Fox.
 * The new series Day Break will begin on ABC next Wednesday. The main character, played by Taye Diggs, repeats the same day over and over again, keeping the memories and scars of the previous iteration.  He has to solve the conspiracy which has trapped him in time.

Other news

T-Shirt Committee

 * The order has been placed with the T-shirt shop. They called back today, but Marisa hadn't had a chance to tell Batman yet.
 * Batman needs another $160 from the Treasury so that he can go pick up the shirts. Can't write a check, though, since there isn't that much in the checking account.  Members will pay the club the remainder of the cost when they pick up their shirts.

Trivia Committee

 * Batman won trivia last week. His trivia question this week was "What was Captain Picard's first command?"
 * David got the answer correct (The U.S.S. Stargazer), so he asks next week. However, he has a question ready, so he asks it:  "What is the significance of 'CPE 1704 TKS'?"
 * Nobody got the answer, so that will be the question for next week. Be sure to do your homework!
