Fannish Items of Interest

An update on the new Evil Dead movie: it will be “a quasi-remake,” not an Evil Dead 4. Sam Raimi will not be the director, just the producer.

The official trailer for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

11 Most Essential X-Men Trades. I would add Mutant Massacre, Days of Future Past, Fall of the Mutants, and Inferno, along with the Alan Davis and Warren Ellis centered trades (or just grab all of them for the series) of Excalibur. Plus whichever New Mutants (original incarnation) trades weren't on the list already.

First look at Aidan Turner as Kili, and Dean O’Gorman as Fili, in The Hobbit.

Den of Geek interviews John Barrowman. There are mild spoilers for Torchwood: Miracle Day, but only if you haven’t seen the first episode.

The extreme heat ended, thanks to a severe thunderstorm around 9 PM yesterday—coupled with a bit more of that early this morning. Instead of 110 degrees (Owensboro hit 123 degrees Fahrenheit, for two days running) or higher, it is currently 82 degrees. However, by the end of the weekend, it should return.

Just stumbled across a ton of Carey Mulligan icons in various places, which fit Meggan nicely. I’ll just save them (tagged by icon maker) in LJ Scrapbook until such a time as I can obtain tokens to get more icon space, since I ran out of room for icons a while back.
