While Hollywood has proven that magicians may look cool, they definitely don’t always rake in the big bucks across the globe. It’s been shown time and time again with films like The Prestige, The Illusionist, and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Though, for that last one, we blame Nic Cage.

It looks like Working Title films, the company behind the series The Tudors and the film Hot Fuzz, are now working on a brand new adaptation of the classic Merlin tale, which will take the old wizard to modern day.

The script comes from historical novel author Jay Basu, who plans on rebooting King Arthur’s spiritual wizard in a “contemporary setting.” Expect to see the film to keep a prominent British cast, as most of the films from Working Title are done out of the UK.

Not much is known about the script or what we can expect from the film, but you can expect to see plenty of respect paid to the character, as legendary actors like Sam Neill, Ben Kingsley, and Donald Pleasence have donned the robe and pointy hat at one point.

Keep it here for more news on this film as it develops.

Clip Friday continues and this time around we’ve got a preview of tonight’s season finale of Merlin as well as another preview for next week’s season premiere of Warehouse 13.  Both of these shows are, of course, on Syfy.

First up on Merlin the friendship between Arthur and Merlin – as well as the strength of Camelot itself – is put to the test as they search for a way to stop a vicious attack by the Great Dragon in “The Last Dragonlord.” Next up on Warehouse 13 it’s a conversation with series co-star Allison Scagliotti as she explains her wardrobe style on the show. As a fan of the show, not something you want to miss.

Enjoy both clips after the jump. The season finale of Merlin airs tonight at 10/9C and Warehouse 13 premieres on Tuesday, July 6th at 9/8C on Syfy.

As we do most Fridays, we’ve got previews for two of Syfy’s shows for you again this week. Both Merlin and Stargate Universe offer action, suspense, romance and drama each week and if you haven’t checked them out yet, you may want to give them a chance.

Starting off with Stargate Universe, the crew is really in trouble this week when their ship, the aptly named Destiny, starts to lose power. If her power fails completely, they could be adrift in space. . . forever. That’s not something you want to happen because, as you know, it’s cold in space and no one can hear you scream. Sorry, that’s from another show. Anyway. . .

Next up on Merlin, the boy wizard must reveal Catrina’s true and evil form before she destroys the kingdom. Jeez, it’s always something with these boy wizards, isn’t it? All the action begins at 9/8C with Stargate Universe followed at 10/9C by Merlin, only on Syfy. Check out both previews after the jump.
