If you recall, we first told you about this movie way back in 2011. Can you remember that far back? Yeah, it’s not easy for us either.

Since 2011, the movie has had a rough road and apparently the director and financier/producer have been fighting over it, which is not really a good sign. However, with this new trailer being released, it looks like the movie may finally see the light of day.

We hope things have been worked out to everyone’s satisfaction as we support the director’s vision around here. We also understand that it takes producers (and money) to make movies happen, so we can’t forget that either.

Anyway, to refresh your memory, Knights of Badassdom concerns a group of people who do a little live-action roll playing. No, it’s not like that. Well, it could be like that.

This week on an all-new episode of The Flickcast, Matt is back from vacation and has no problem sharing highlights from his trip. But wait, there’s more.

Actually, it’s hard to describe just what happens during this week’s show, but suffice it to say, it’s a wild one. And yes, one of the boys (if not both) manage to offend someone this week. Shocking, right?

They also make some picks this week including Matt’s pick of an obscure indie movie called Would You Rather? and Chris’ pick of the awesome show Veronica Mars, which he says is on Netflix but it really isn’t. He lies.

Hey, nobody would be happier than we would if Firefly came back to TV. Or, if they did another movie sequel or prequel to Serenity. Sadly, even though Josss Whedon is a huge success with Avengers, we don’t think either of those is a real possibility.

However, that isn’t stopping Science Channel, which runs the original Firefly series pretty much every day, from doing a new TV special about the show. That’s right, to celebrate the cult-classic’s 10th anniversary, the channel is shooting said one-hour special, called Browncoats Unite, at the the Firefly cast reunion at Comic-Con this week.

“Firefly is a landmark work of science fiction and a favorite with our viewers,” said Debbie Myers, general manager and executive vp of Science. “Ever since it premiered on Science, fans have asked us to do something special to mark its 10-year anniversary. With this signature celebration, punctuated by Browncoats Unite, we will connect the minds behind this classic franchise with its legions of passionate fans.”

Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion are expected to appear on Friday’s panel. In addition, Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher and writer Tim Minear are also expected. Browncoats Unite will air on Science, along with an all-day marathon of Firefly episodes, on Sunday, Nov. 11.

The world of fantasy/comedy has been a little neglected lately. In fact, I would challenge you to name any fantasy/comedy movie in the last several years that warranted even a slight notice by most fans and critics.

Obviously, Your Highness is a movie that came out recently that mostly fills this quota. Another is the upcoming Knights of Badassdom which, for lack of a better word, rocks. Or, it seems to based on this brand new first trailer for the film that we have for you today.

The films features Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau and Danny Pudi who gear up for the epic, but fake, Battle of Evermore and … accidentally summon a real succubus from hell.

Yes, you read that right. It does sound cool and, in fact, is. Check out the new trailer after the jump

For those who are planning on heading to San Diego Comic-Con in a few weeks that were disparaged by the fact that most major film studios are not planning anything major, there are smaller projects popping up that will likely be the winners of the show this year.

One of those is the new indie comedies titled Knights of Badassdom, starring True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten, Summer Glau, Danny Pudi, and Game of Throne’s Peter Dinklage. A little bit of Your Highness and a little bit of Role Models, the film looks to take a pretty funny look at the very real world of LARP’ing. Here’s the premise.

In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield.

Yes fans, the show that most believe was canceled way too early is coming back to TV once again. That show is, of course, Joss Whedon’s Firefly. Sadly, it won’t be for brand new episodes or anything like that.

Instead, the Science Channel will air the series in its entirety, plus some new and pretty cool extras. The channel will wrap each episode of the show with interstitial segments starring renowned physicist Dr. Michio Kaku (who you might remember form the days of Leo Laporte’s Screen Savers show on Tech TV), who will discuss the science behind the show’s sci-fi concepts.

According to 20th Century Fox, the studio that originally produced the show and also killed it early, this will be the first time Firefly has aired on basic cable channel since 2008, when it ran on USA Network. Firefly premieres on Science Channel on March 6 at 8 p.m., with the two hour pilot, followed by the first episode at 10 p.m.

Following that, Firefly episodes will air every Sunday. Don’t worry, they will be their original intended order and upgraded to high definition. At least they got that part right.

It’s Monday so that means all new episodes of one of our favorite shows, Chuck, and one of our favorite new shows, The Cape. Plus, a preview of another new show, Harry’s Law, we haven’t had much time to watch yet but from what we’ve seen looks pretty good. It’s from David E. Kelly and stars Kathy Bates, so what more do you really need?

Of course, that also means we’ve got previews and other stuff to get you ready for tonight’s fun. First up on Chuck, Sarah’s old teammates return and Lou Diamond Phillips guest stars on an episode that’s sure to please fans. Oh, did we mention that Sarah’s old teammates are three hot babes who like to kick ass? Yeah.

Plus, Lou Diamond sporting a goatee for the ladies. What more could you want? Something for everyone, right?

Then, The Cape goes supernatural as an old killer threatens Orwell and the entire city. I’ll bet you can guess that The Cape doesn’t like that very much. Plus, Summer Glau is, as always, a delight. Check out some behind the scenes action for this episode.

And, finally, Harry risks disbarment when she refuses to stand up for a guilty defendant on tonight’s Harry’s Law. Oh that Harry, always getting into trouble and bucking the system. Let’s hope she doesn’t have a sledge hammer or anything. That could get messy.

All the Monday action starts at 8/7C tonight with Chuck. Check out all the previews and such after the jump.

After years of waiting (and reporting) DC Universe Online has finally made its way to both the PC and PlayStation 3 console. And we are happy to see it has lived up to the hype. While DCUO isn’t a ground breaking experience that will redefine the MMORPG genre, it does provide an addictive and fun super hero world for people to play in.

Taking a few lessons learned from previous super hero titles like City of Heroes and Champions Online, DCUO allows players to experience an MMO world in an iconic universe with well known locations and super hero and villain compatriots at their side. Unlike SOE’s previous iconic MMO with Star Wars Galaxies, players are actually able to fight alongside their favorite heroes and villains instead of just receiving missions from them. The game also has a fully voiced cast, a much notable difference to players of past titles like classics like Everquest or Galaxies.

Gameplay:

DC Universe Online plays similar in many ways to most other successful MMOs. It is to be expected since those formulas have proven successful for the type of game. Players move using the traditional WASD format combined with their mouse for changing directions and looking around and aiming. Different tap and hold button combinations on the mouse (unlocking more as players increase in level) release different attacks on foes. Additional super powers are unlocked and assigned to the 1 through 8 keys that can be used during combat.

Combat itself is fast paced and fun without much down time between. Unlike many MMORPGs, combat is not item-centric where players must worry about equipping tons of healing items to use after each combat instance. As long as players don’t run through like a lunatic kamikaze, they should be able to take a breather between fights to allow their character to quickly heal up before heading into the next encounter.

The more we see of NBC’s upcoming new superhero show The Cape the more we hope it ends up being as good as it looks. The show seems to have a great deal of potential so let’s hope it lives up to it.

Plus, any show with Keith David, Vinnie Jones and Summer Glau at least deserves a chance. That’s a pretty cool cast. Not only that, but the main good guy (aka “The Cape” played by David Lyons) doesn’t seem so bad either. So, to help kicks things off and keep people interested, we’ve got some more video from the show to share with you today.

This time it’s three scenes from the premiere episode itself. In them we see Vince’s training in how to use his cape, the first time The Cape meets Summer Glau’s Orwell and the moment where the superhero first reveals his name. Oh, and did I mention Summer Glau is in this show? Yeah, we’re happy about that too.

Check out all three scenes after the break. The Cape arrives this Sunday night on NBC.

After a few months of previews, trailers and more, we are still not exactly sure what to make of NBC’s upcoming new series The Cape. We are always glad to see new superhero-centric shows on mainstream TV networks. Plus, NBC is the former home of Heroes, which was a great show for at least the first season.

So, we tend to give NBC the benefit of the doubt when it comes to these types of programs. Let’s hope that pays off with a show we can enjoy and that’s a success. In the meantime, we’ve got a couple more videos featuring the show’s stars, including leads David Lyons and the beautiful Summer Glau, to share with you today.

In these videos, the stars give holiday greetings and also offer a bit more insight into the show and their characters. Check out both videos after the break. The Cape premieres on January 9th.
