Sad day indeed. First we here at Cinema Static and our readers lose Stargate Universe to lousy ratings. (You’ll see my dissection of that scenario in a future post.) But now news on the street is that Fox has added Human Target, starring Mark Valley to the halls of canceled TV series.
I had come to enjoy Human Target and they had started developing the characters in a very productive fashion and I was enjoying it more in the second season than the first.
But alas, another Cinema Static favorite has spiraled out of control and cratered in the land of cancelled shows.
Boo. I was really starting to enjoy Jackie Earle Haley‘s portrayal of Guerrero too! We’ll be seeing more of Jackie Earle Haley in the upcoming movies, Dance of the Mirlitons, Bolden! & the Tim Burton directed Dark Shadows remake. We’ll be seeing Mark Valley in the upcoming project, Medallion, on the silver screen.

- WonderCon is coming up fast, taking place April 1st through 3rd in San Francisco at the Moscone Center South. Rooms are still available and at a reasonable price, all within an easy walk to the convention center.
As of this writing, the big events lined up for WonderCon that have caught my eye include panels for TV shows Falling Skies, Doctor Who, Terra Nova, Human Target and the new animated series ThunderCats.
Movies being represented at WonderCon (at the time of this writing*) include Warner Bros. live-action movie Green Lantern, Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens, HANNA, Priest, & Immortals.
*What’s interesting is the absence of a few highly anticipated movie panels… mainly Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, Super 8, Conan the Barbarian, The Amazing Spider-Man… and such. There are still spots on the calendar but with a week to go, it’s looking bleak for these projects showing up. Yea, yea, I want it all! What can I say.
I hope this lack of big-ticket upcoming events isn’t some sort of harbinger of this event’s future! It’s a great event that’s not as much of a frenzy as San Diego Comic-Con, while still getting some great exposure for various projects.
Here are some of the primary events taking place in the Esplanade room of the weekend:
