"Caprica", the television series prequel to the hit reboot of "Battlestar Galactica", has been cancelled.

The show debuted in January of 2010 and was slated for a 13 episode season. With five unaired episodes remaing, Syfy will delay broadcast until an unnannounced date in early 2011.

"We appreciate all the support that fans have shown for 'Caprica' and are very proud of the producers, cast, writers and the rest of the amazing team that has been committed to this fine series," said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, Syfy and Co-Head of Content for Universal Cable Productions. "Unfortunately, despite its obvious quality, 'Caprica' has not been able to build the audience necessary to justify a second season."

Despite the series' cancellation, Syfy will still move forward with the recently announced "Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome" will is also planned as a prequel to the network's first series, set during the 10th year of the Cylon war.

Third Batman Movie is Officially Titled 'The Dark Knight Rises

The third Batman movie will be officially titled The Dark Knight Rises as his follow-up and epic conclusion to the fantastically unforgettable The Dark Knight from 2008. Nolan confirmed a few other things as well: that it won't be in 3D, that he will shoot with high def and IMAX cameras (again) instead, and that the villain is not Riddler nor will Harvey Dent be back at all. So there you have it, now we know the title and a bit more about where he's going with this. Read on!

"We'll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we'll be introducing some new ones," Nolan told him. Not many more details were revealed in today's Hero Complex update, but I did see Geoff Boucher mention something interesting over on his Facebook account that links to this article: "Hugo Strange and Catwoman now jump to the top of the list." So Nolan ruled out Riddler, Joker and Harvey Dent, and after talking with Nolan, Boucher thinks it might be Hugo Strange (is this Tom Hardy's role?) and/or Catwoman who will show up as the big villains in this one. Only time will tell, right? Either way, now we know that it's The Dark Knight Rises that will be hitting theaters on July 20th 2012. Bring it on! Everyone else excited?

James Cameron Will Officially Be Directing Avatar 2 and 3 Next

Συμφωνία, για δύο σίκουελ υπέγραψε ο Ντ. Κάμερον, με την Fox.

Ο σκηνοθέτης Τζέιμς Κάμερον υπέγραψε συμφωνία για τη δημιουργία δύο σίκουελ του Άβαταρ, το οποίο κέρδισε 2,8 δισεκατομμύρια δολάρια παγκοσμίως, ανακοίνωσε η Twentieth Century Fox. Ο σκηνοθέτης θα ξεκινήσει την παραγωγή του πρώτου σίκουελ το επόμενο έτος, το οποίο σχεδιάζει να είναι έτοιμο τον Δεκέμβριο του 2014. Το δεύτερο σίκουελ θα κυκλοφορήσει ένα έτος αργότερα "Η δεύτερη και η τρίτη ταινία οι οποίες θα είναι αυτοτελείς ιστορίες θα συνεχίσουν να εξερευνούν τα θέματα και τους χαρακτήρες που άγγιξαν τις καρδιές του κοινού σε όλους τους πολιτισμούς του κόσμου", δήλωσε ο Κάμερον. "Ανυπομονώ να επιστρέψω στην Πανδώρα, τον κόσμο όπου η φαντασία μας μπορεί να ξεφύγει", πρόσθεσε ο σκηνοθέτης.

An official press release from Fox and Lightstorm (via Deadline) has announced/confirmed that James Cameron has agreed to make Avatar 2 and 3 as his next films. He was apparently considering directing that Cleopatra movie with Angelina Jolie at Sony, but Deadline says "Fox made a 'huge' donation to his environmental green fund, and in return he committed to making the Avatar sequel… That also caused him to withdraw from Sony Pictures' Cleopatra." Fox is targeting December 2014 and 2015 release dates for the two back-to-back sequels, but hasn't set anything in stone. Ready to go back?

Here's James Cameron's rather beefy official statement that touches on improving the story in these sequels:

"It is a rare and remarkable opportunity when a filmmaker gets to build a fantasy world, and watch it grow, with the resources and partnership of a global media company. AVATAR was conceived as an epic work of fantasy – a world that audiences could visit, across all media platforms, and this moment marks the launch of the next phase of that world. With two new films on the drawing boards, my company and I are embarking on an epic journey with our partners at Twentieth Century Fox. Our goal is to meet and exceed the global audience's expectations for the richness of AVATAR's visual world and the power of the storytelling. In the second and third films, which will be self contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of AVATAR’s visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world. I'm looking forward to returning to Pandora, a world where our imaginations can run wild."
