Can’t wait until next season for more Heroes? Well good news! You don’t have to. TV.com reports that during the off season NBC will be showing a 6 episode spinoff series, Heroes: Origins, that will show the origin of one Hero in each episode. Through an online poll viewers will vote on which of these 6 is their favourite which will appear in the upcoming second season of Heroes.

A new trilogy of Terminator movies is planned, according to an article by Dark Horizons. The rights to the franchise have moved on to a new company who intends to make new movies without involving James Cameron or Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger. The next movie planned will be written by Terminator 3’s John Brancato and Michael Ferris.

Along with the rights to the Terminator movies go all associated rights to TV, games, chocolate bars and scented soap. That also includes the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series that’s been in the works for some time.

Thanks to xSharonx for the heads up.

A message board post at NeoGAF shows a scan from a Japanese magazine showing screens from a 3D Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy IV, the greatest Final Fantasy game ever made.

Showing a clear resemblance to last year’s Final Fantasy III DS this would be the second DS remake of a Final Fantasy game. This move is puzzling after the recent Gameboy Advance release of the game in December 2005, but not unwelcome.

I found the remake of Final Fantasy III for the DS to be a great adaptation and look forward to this update of the game, whose graphics have been untouched since its original release in 1991. While all 3 of the Nintendo/Famicom Final Fantasy games have had their graphics enhanced in more recent versions, the 3 Super Nintendo/Super Famicom games had not been enhanced in their many ports.

A mirror of the magazine scan can be seen after the jump.

Fox “News” reports that George Lucas has mentioned he will be doing 2 more live action Star Wars movies. They are to take place around the same timeframe as the stories from the movies but not centered around the Skywalker family. These would be made for TV movies clocking in at about an hour each.

Here’s the relevant portion of the article:

And here’s a little news: Lucas tells me he will make two more live-action films based in the “Star Wars” era.

“But they won’t have members of the Skywalker family as characters,” he said. “They will be other people of that milieu.”

The two extra films will also be made for TV and probably be an hour long each. But, like “Clone Wars,” Lucas doesn’t know where on TV they will land.

The full story can be read here as we await confirmation from a reputable news source.

Thanks to Quantumhawk for the heads up.

Update!

The article is apparently wrong. The reporter was confused and Lucas was actually talking about the 2 animated shows Lucas plans on making. This will be the first and last time I quote an article from Fox News.
