"Bedtime Stories"
The premise: Adam Sandler is a hotel handyman (or real estate developer depending which
movie site you believe) whose life becomes worthy of a movie when the nighty-nite tales he reads to
his niece and nephew start coming true.
Set for a Christmas Day release, the movie also stars Courtney Cox, Guy Pearce, Keri
Russell and Lucy Lawless. "Hairspray" director Adam Shankman is at the helm.

Last week on Battlestar Galactica, Starbuck and a few crew members went on a road trip to
chat with the Cylon Hybrid. Though many of her messages were unintelligible, the Hybrid did tell
them that D'Anna (Lucy Lawless) can provide information about the path to Earth.

=== So, it looks like D'Anna will finally show up in the next ep, in two weeks since next weekend
is Memorial Day weekend.
It's about frackin' time!! ===

New American TV series to film in NZ
Tuesday, 13 May 2008
The producer of television series Hercules, and Xena: Warrior Princess is returning to New
Zealand to produce a new swords and sorcery television series.
In a growing trend for American television, Rob Tapert will skip the step of making a pilot
program and go straight into production of 22 episodes of Wizard's First Rule for Disney-ABC
Domestic Television and ABC Studios.
The show business newspaper Variety said the series has already been sold.
Each one-hour episode will have a NZ director and the series will be shot in the Auckland
region over 36 months, starting from next month.
One of the episodes will be directed by New Zealand actor Michael Hurst who starred in the
original Hercules episodes.
Tapert, who married Xena star Lucy Lawless in 1998, is working with Spider-Man director Sam
Raimi on the series, based on author Terry Goodkind's popular fantasy books.
Wizard's First Rule is based around a backwoods guide, Richard Cypher, in Westland, the only
part of the world which contains no magic.
While investigating the mysterious murder of his father he rescues a woman, Kahlan Amnell, who
has crossed over from the "magic" side of the world, and does battle with an evil dictator.
The major roles will use American actors while New Zealand actors are likely to be used for
some of the minor parts
