Abed Gets Revenge In Another New Clip From Tomorrow Night’s ‘Community’

by Sebastian Suchecki, Nov 4 2010 // 2:00 PM

Yesterday, we brought you two clips from this week’s episode of Community, airing tomorrow night. In the episode, HIlary Duff and Matt Walsh (The Daily Show) guest star in Aerodynamics of Gender that include Greendale’s very own versions of The Secret Garden and Mean Girls.

This season has already seen some pretty impressive episodes, including an entire episode dedicated to Apollo 13, and yes–even a zombie episode. It hasn’t been announced whether or not NBC is picking up the show for another season, but if it’s ratings are any indicator, this may be the last we’ll see of our gang.

In the last clip we have for you today, Abed (Danny Pudi) uses his quirky ability to pick out personality weaknesses to take down the school’s very own group of girl bullies, lead by Hilary Duff.

Expect this episode to be more centric on the cast’s female stars, as they get their very own revenge on this group of Mean Girls.

Check out the clip after the jump, and be sure to catch Community tomorrow night at 8pm P/EST.

Universal Bringing King’s ‘Dark Tower’ To Film and TV

by Sebastian Suchecki, Sep 9 2010 // 7:00 AM

Just when you thought Stephen King was becoming slightly less relevant as of late, Universal announced today that it has acquired the rights to Stephen King’s The Dark Tower. They have an agreement for a film trilogy and an NBC series based on King’s critically acclaimed series.

Ron Howard (Apollo 13) has signed on to direct the first film, as well as the first season of the TV show. Also announced as head writer was Akiva Goldsman, best known for writing The Da Vinci Code.

The films and television series will have a wide range of material to pull from as King has written seven novels, short stories and comic books. The Dark Tower has sold more than 30 million copies and has been sold in over 40 countries. After the completion of the original series of seven books, a prequel series of comic books based on one of the characters was also published.

In the story,  Roland Deschain is the last living member of an order known as gunslingers and the last of the line of “Arthur Eld”, his world’s King Arthur. Politically organized along the lines of a feudal society, it shares technological and social characteristics with the American Old West, but is also a world of fantasy and magic. No word on how the story will progress and whether the films and television series will have intertwining linear story lines throughout.
