Booster Gold, a football player from the future who traveled back in time for fame and fortune as a super hero, may be getting his own Syfy (SciFi Channel) original series. This was reported earlier today on The Hollywood Reporter.

Greg Berlanti, of this summer’s could-have-been-better Green Lantern, will produce and Andrew Kreisberg of Fringe will write the pilot. The same team also took a stab at THQ’s Red Faction video game series for Syfy earlier this year before the game publisher shut down the franchise.

A pilot for a proposed one hour weekly has been ordered, but no casting has been discussed yet. Eric Martsolf played Booster Gold in an episode of Smallville in the final season. Tom Everett Scott played the character in a single (great) episode of Justice League Unlimited, and reprised the role many times on Batman: The Brave And The Bold.

Booster’s best super buddy, The Blue Beetle, is not mentioned. Many, many volumes of this admitted second string DC hero are available both from his many solo adventures from his time in the Justice League. You can read almost any of them and they’re pretty good.

Check out this trailer for “The Secret World of Arrietty”, a new movie which is coming to North America in February 2012. The film is by Studio Ghibli and the screenplay is written by Hayao Miyazaki, director of good movies like Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Laputa: Castle in the Sky and bad movies like Ponyo.

The dub will star David Henrie and Bridgit Mendler, who play on again, off again couple Justin and Juliet in the Wizards of Waverly Place. It’s not easy being in love when one of you is a Wizard and the other is a Vampire who turned old after being bit by a Werewolf and then being young again. There are actually 2 dubs, the British version stars Saoirse Ronan, from Hanna and Tom Holland, from nothing I’ve ever heard of.
