Harold Perrineau, who plays sail-away traitor Michael on "Lost" is returning the show next season. When we last saw them, Michael and his son Walt, left the island on a boat given to them by the Others.

ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson didn't offer any details Wednesday of what's in store for Michael. He also didn't say whether Walt, the son played by Malcolm David Kelley, will be seen again.

Zachary Quinto, who plays the brain-eating Sylar on "Heroes," will appear as the young Spock in director J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Trek" film.

A DVD set collecting the first season of the original Star Trek show in digitally enhanced form is due out Nov. 20. This is the one that's been showing on TV lately, with the 1960s effects replaced with new CGI effects.

Info:

Paramount has announced Star Trek: The Original Series - Season 1 Remastered which arrives in a 10-disc HD DVD/DVD combo disc set on November 20th. Retail will be $217.99. Meticulously remastered from the original camera negative specifically for this high-definition release, each classic episode is presented in pristine condition with state-of-the-art digital visual effects. 1960s special effects have been replaced with 21st century computer-generated imagery to give new depth and atmosphere to various elements including the main title sequence, the galaxy shots frequently seen from the Enterprise's bridge, the battle scenes, planets and alien ships, some of the matte paintings used as backdrops for new worlds, as well as the Enterprise and other Starships, which have been replaced with state-of-the-art CGI-created ships.

Each of the episodes will be presented in 1.33:1 full frame, along with English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround, LAS Mono and French Mono tracks. The HD DVD presentation features English Dolby True HD and LAS Mono tracks.

Via Boing Boing: Stan Lee presents: A Special Planet Parenthood Issue Of The Amazing Spider-Man.

--------------------------

Actor Tim Blake Nelson ("Syriana," "O'Brother, Where Art Thou?") is joining the "Incredible Hulk" movie cast.

Nelson will play a scientist named Samuel Sterns. In Hulk lore, Sterns, aka "The Leader," is one of the Hulk's major antagonists, a menial worker in a chemical research plant who is bombarded with gamma radiation. He emerges from his accident not only green-skinned but also superintelligent, with an oversized brain.

---------------------------

BOOM! Studios has comic book-adaptations of "The Godfather" in the works. According to a press release, BOOM! will publish both

"...a graphic novel and a series of
mini-series based on the iconic Mario Puzo-penned novel and films
beginning in Winter 2007. The series will be written by an
as-yet-unannounced writer ("Jaws will drop," says Richie) and the
first arc will be illustrated by BOOM! veteran Greg Scott, whose
previous BOOM! titles include X ISLE and ENIGMA CIPHER.

"The thing about THE GODFATHER," says Chip Mosher, BOOM! Studios'
Marketing and Sales Director, "is how recognizable it is. All around
the world, people know the movie, they quote lines from it in every
day. Who doesn't recognize Marlon Brando as Don Corleone?"


-----------------------------

In further "Godfather" developments, Sideshow Toys will be doing a line of collector figures based on the movies. Sideshow also just acquired the licenses to do "Tomb Raider," "Aliens vs. Predator" and "Conan the Barbarian" figures.

------------------------------

Prince Charles has turned down a guest spot in this year's Doctor Who Christmas special.

Phil Collinson, Doctor Who's producer, says, "We recently approached Charles because we had some great ideas for him in the show. "Unfortunately he politely declined but he did say he was a big fan of the show."

-------------------------------

Newsarama interviews cartoonist Jeff Smith about his new project, "RASL."

The story is about a thief -- an art thief -- who is known to the police as "RASL," because that's the tag he leaves whenever he steals a piece of art. He spray paints RASL on the wall in the spot where the art was. RASL has this ... how do I describe it? ... a full spectral immersion suit that he's invented that really, basically, is made of these giant jet engines that he straps to his shoulders and his knees that have magnets in them, and he can create thermal-magnetic disturbances through space-time and step between dimensions. So if you were a really rich person who wants to collect, say, a Mona Lisa, you could pay RASL, and he'll go to another dimension and steal the Mona Lisa for you!

------------------------------

Can you tell Comicon is on in San Diego? There's loads of comics and pop culture news coming out. Like, for example, Dark Horse Comics is reviving Warren Publishing's Eerie and Creepy titles. Along with new material in those tites, Dark Horse will publish a series of hardcover archives collecting classic tales from Warren's original mags.

Many of today’s brightest stars will lend their talents to the venture, including horror legend Bernie Wrightson (City of Others) and modern master Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre).

Creepy is best remembered for its classic horror and was hosted by Uncle Creepy, while Eerie often ventured into science fiction and featured Cousin Eerie as its host. The rest of the gang includes Hunter, Child, El Cid, Marvin the Dead Thing, and the newly developed Creepy Family. The magazines, originally published by Jim Warren are remembered as presenting some of the era’s greatest genre comics work.

“Both Creepy and Eerie are fondly remembered by comics fans as representing the best of science fiction and horror, and Dark Horse is proud and excited to relaunch these classic titles,” said Dark Horse publisher Mike Richardson.


The deal also may lead to Creepy and/or Eerie titled TV and movie projects, the press release adds.

-------------------------------

In another press release, Dark Horse reveals they'll also be publishing collections of Marvel Comics' Indiana Jones comic book adventures, as well as publishing new Indy titles.

In February 2008, Dark Horse Comics will publish the first of two Indiana Jones Omnibuses collecting Dark Horse's previous entries in the saga. Then April sees the release of volume one of Indiana Jones Adventures—a digest-sized graphic novel designed for the enjoyment of young readers as well as adults. The Indiana Jones Adventures volumes and the Omnibuses will continue on a quarterly basis—including Omnibuses for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles and the original Marvel run of Indiana Jones comics.

------------------------------

And, DC Comics will be publishing a hardcover comics collection based on the "Heroes" TV series.

-------------------------------

Speaking of Comicon, here's a great picture thread with loads of new images of new action figures making their debut at the con, including new Marvel Legends figures from Hasbro.

Jon's Random Acts of Geekery (formerly Waffyjon) presents some wild H.R. Pufnstuf collectibles: black light posters and toys.

-------------------------------

Frank Millers talks to Variety about his in-the-works Spirit film, based on the works of cartoonist Will Eisner.

When tasked with selecting the right hook from 12 years of "The Spirit" comics, Miller embraced an old favorite. "It's the story of Sand Saref," he says, referring to a plot that first ran in newspapers on Jan. 8, 1950, full of danger-laced romance, espionage and early germ-warfare elements. "It's about the first love of Spirit's life, who has turned to a life of crime, and he has to bring her to justice."

The choice holds special significance for Miller, who has cited Saref as an inspiration for the popular Elektra character he created for the "Daredevil" comic.

DVD: Josie and the Pussycats - The Complete Series

Out Sept. 18, this 2-disk set collects the entire 1970 animated series. You can pre-order it now from Amazon.

Details:

Loved by television audiences for their catchy songs and exciting escapades, Josie and the Pussycats originally debuted on CBS’ Saturday morning lineup. The characters were first created by John Goldwater and Richard Goldwater for the Josie and the Pussycats comic book and were designed by Dan DeCarlo. Hanna-Barbera Productions adapted the comic book into a Saturday morning television program. The series followed the exploits of the all-girl animated pop music group which would get caught up in wild adventures, dangerous spy capers and intriguing mysteries while they toured the world with their entourage.

Donning leopard print leotards, long tails and ears for hats during their performances, the group was comprised of Pussycats lead Josie McCoy on guitar, ditsy Melody Valentine on drums and Valerie Brown on tambourines. Their entourage consisted of Josie’s handsome boyfriend and band roadie Alan Mayberry, their cowardly manager Alexander Cabot, and Alexander’s scheming, cantankerous sister Alexandra Cabot, whose mission was to steal Alan away from Josie and take over as the Pussycats’ lead. Lastly, they were joined by their snickering feline companion Sebastian, who not only happened to be just as sneaky and catty as Alexandra but would carry out a lot of her dirty work which would usually get the whole gang into some kind of trouble.

“We think television fans will enjoy re-discovering this wonderful cartoon series. The stories are well-written and clever, the music is infectious, and the animation is bright and lively, presented in a way only Hanna-Barbera can,” said Dorinda Marticorena, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Sports Marketing. She added, “Josie and the Pussycats is a delight and is sure to make viewers reminisce about the Saturday mornings they spent watching their favorite cartoons.”

Josie and the Pussycats: The Complete Series will include a bonus documentary focusing on Josie and the Pussycats designer, Dan DeCarlo. Titled: The Allure and Charm of Dan DeCarlo, the documentary tells the story of the comic book artist, turned gag cartoonist and illustrator, who contributed to the creation of the legendary Archie comics’ as well as some of the most racy golden age pin up girl art to date. The ironies of this life and the beauty derived from tragedy are what defined Dan as a gentleman, artist and father. The documentary explores the man’s life through the words of his biographer as well as colleagues from his professional life, including renowned comic book superhero creator Stan Lee.

DVD: Dark Shadows: The Beginning Collection 1

This 4-DVD set collects the earliest eps of the classic gothic soap opera, before vampire Barnabas Collins enters the scene. It's out Aug. 28 and you can pre-order it now from Amazon.

Details:

Now, for the first time on DVD, MPI presents the spooky series' rare, early episodes before the arrival of Barnabas.

Victoria Winters' mysterious journey begins as her train arrives in Collinsport, a small and stormy fishing village on the coast of Maine. An orphan in search of her identity, Victoria is befriended by a stranger named Burke Devlin.

At the eerie Collinwood mansion, Victoria meets reclusive matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard, her aloof brother Roger Collins, his troubled ten-year-old son David, and Elizabeth's rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn.

Collins fishing fleet manager Bill Malloy informs Elizabeth that Burke wants to take everything the Collinses own as revenge for being sent to prison. Collinsport Inn waitress Maggie Evans tells her father Sam that she wants an end to the secret conflict between him, Roger and Burke. David warns Victoria that she will regret that she came to live at Collinwood and be his governess.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

* New Dark Shadows Introduction with Alexandra Moltke (Victoria Winters) and Dark Shadows History with Kathryn Leigh Scott (Maggie Evans).

* Original Network Promo.

*Episode 1 with original 1966 commercials.

DVD: Paul Lynde Halloween Special

This 1976 special--probably best-known for introducing U.S. TV audiences to the band Kiss--will be out on disk Oct. 2. You can pre-order it now from Amazon.

Here's the skinny:

The Paul Lynde Halloween Special aired only once (on October 29, 1976) and featured a "Who's Who" of mid-'70s TV and film stars; Paul held everything together as the ringmaster of a circus that featured Margaret Hamilton (her only prime time TV appearance wearing the full outfit from The Wizard of Oz), Witchie Poo from H.R. Pufnstuf, Donnie and Marie (who had Paul as a regular on their series), Tim Conway, Billy Barty and in their first prime time TV appearance, KISS. They perform three songs but the on-stage conversation with KISS, Paul and Margaret Hamilton is priceless.

Special Features:

* Extensive photo scrapbook containing images from The Hollywood Squares, at home, family shots, young Paul. This includes large quantities of photos provided by his family and heirs.

* Three stage interactive trivia game based on questions asked on The Hollywood Squares with a bonus feature when consumer answers all 30- 60 questions correctly.

Speaking of Iron Man:

The mysterious mind behind "Dial B for Burbank" files his last post, just he did with his previous "Dial B for Blog." But, don't despair--it looks like he's got another project in the works.

----------------------

Anne Hathaway talks about playing Agent 99 in the upcoming "Get Smart" film.

"We all love the original series," Hathaway said in an interview on the set in Los Angeles last May. "And you will not find bigger fans than us. And we all decided we wanted to be very respectful, while at the same time wanting to put our own mark on the film. So what we talked about with Agent 99 was rather than making her a carbon copy of Barbara Feldon's creation, we decided to respect the spirit of 99, which was that she was a fully realized woman of her time. So rather than take Barbara Feldon and put her in 2008, ... when the film comes out, we decided to make 99 a fully actualized woman of 2008. And so, as a result, I do get some zingers. I'm a little bit of a hell-raiser. And, hopefully, we also retain some of the elegance of the original character."

--------------------------

A big batch of Jim Henson's retired muppets are being gifted to Atlanta's Center for Puppetry Arts.

Cheryl Henson, Jim Henson’s second-oldest daughter, and Jane Henson, her mother and Mr. Henson’s first performing partner, expected to be in Atlanta on Wednesday to announce the gift: 500 to 700 puppets, including some of the first Muppets built; props; scenic elements; posters; sketches; and drawings that Mr. Henson created for shows like “The Muppet Show,” “Sesame Street,” “Fraggle Rock” and “Sam and Friends” (where the Muppets first appeared). Cheryl Henson has also pledged $1 million of her own money to the center.

Warner Bros. plans a big-screen film based on DC Comics' weird Western character, Jonah Hex.

Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood.

...The filmmakers are not making a straight-ahead Western but plan to develop the character with some of the supernatural overtones in the hopes of creating a franchise.

Also in the works is a film adaptation of DC's Y: The Last Man series.
