Welcome to another edition of On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage during the week. Let is know if we missed something interesting.
Let’s get started!
• Getting ready to wrestle with the Gods this May in Thor? This Behind-the-scenes featurette should help you get ready for battle.
• As if we needed another reason to pick up Portal 2 next week, we can now spend an extra to get some sweet gear upgrades, like special boots that won’t let you die!
• Remember ElfQuest? We kind of do, too. A few die-hard hotties decided to stop waiting for a film and make their own by prancing in the woods wearing very little clothing and tons of makeup. We approve.
• This one has been surfing around the net all week, and is proof that given the chance, the next generation of kids will, in fact, choose the Dark Side.
• Because she didn’t get enough rest in Sucker Punch, Emily Browning is back with a new trailer for Sleeping Beauty. We expect less steampunk Nazi zombies in this one.
• Samuel L. Jackson is set to make his Broadway debut as Martin Luther King Jr. Chances are, this is the most anyone will ever hear Dr. King say “motherf*cker.”
• Dreamworks has such faith in Hugh Jackman training robots to fight each other in Real Steel that they’ve already planned a sequel.
• Further blurring the line between daytime soaps and shows like One Tree Hill, ABC has pulled the plug on classic daytime soap operas All My Children and One Life to Live.
