FOX orders modernised Frankenstein pilot
Yet another revival of a classic Horror story for TV, this seems to happen A LOT in recent years, Horror seems to be the go to now-a-days and I for one am kind of happy it is my genre. According to Deadline, FOX have ordered a pilot from Rand Ravich ("Life") which is simply title "Frankenstein";
The new show, described as a "grounded sci-fi drama" loosely inspired by Mary Shelley's classic 1818 novel, centres on Adam Tremble, "a morally corrupt FBI agent who is given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead. Now younger and stronger, Tremble will have to choose between his old temptations and his new sense of purpose — dealing with threats beyond the FBI’s capabilities. All the while navigating the complicated relationship with his “creators”: an antisocial Internet billionaire and his bio-engineer twin sister."
There is truly something about this shows concept that I REALLY like and I can't seem to put my finger on what it is. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this concept progresses.

Quicksilver going SOLO?!?!?
To say that Evan Peter's stole the show when he played Quicksilver in this years "X-Men: Days Of Future Past", so it wasn't going to be long before we got some more Quicksilver on the big screen. According to Brian Smrz a second unit director has said there is a "fun" scene in the upcoming "X-Men: Apocalypse".
"They want me to start pretty soon, on the storyboarding and stuff," Smrz tells Newsarama. "I’ll be working on the next X-Men for the next month or so part-time, and by the end of the year it’ll be full-time... There will be another Quicksilver scene, which I'm looking forward to. That'll be fun."
"We talked about Quicksilver before," responds Smrz when asked what sort of film he'd like to direct. "I'd love to do a Quicksilver as a solo film because there's a lot to enjoy with that character."

Channing Tatum talks Gambit progress
While promoting another film, Channing Tatum has given us an update about the future of Gambit.
"We're finding a writer and sort of beating it out,"
"I don't want to give too much away, because we don't know that much right now other than who Gambit is," Tatum said. "We really do want to try our hardest to give something fresh. We’re obviously going to go to the saving the world superhero movies eventually, but maybe not for the first one. We want to introduce this character in a very different way. When you try to do something different, you never know right off the bat what that is. We're feeling our way and really have to just prove that concept of that person."
