Monty Python’s got nothing on this.

In the town of Linz, Austria, a possibly rabid rabbit attacked a 74-year old woman in her back yard while she was hanging up her laundry. The the hysterical hare launched itself at the old woman, and while it didn’t exactly “nibble her bum”, it did manage to bite her foot and caused her to fall, before her husband managed to come out to battle the beast. When police arrived on the scene, they managed to subdue the beast. Unfortunately, no holy hand granades were availible at the time, so the policemen had to improvise by shooting the rodent when it tried to attacked them as well.

No lackies were harmed during the brutal encounter.

MTV Movies Blog reports: Kirsten Dunst Ready To Rock For Blondie Biopic. Ok, so its only a rumor, but if both Dunst and Harry want this movie to get made, it should get made.

I’m completely in favor of this movie and in favor of this casting. Dunst could pass for Debbie Harry very easily and whether she sings or lip syncs theres a great story to tell there about Blondie’s rise to fame in the late 70s.

My dream would have this movie be part of a CBGB trilogy with the story of The Talking Heads and The Ramones in the late 70s and early 80s.

This is the last Halo 3 Beta video I’ll ever post here. It opens up in less than a week and then we’ll overrun with clever videos and the urgency will be gone.
That said, I am posting this one because its the best look I’ve seen at the 3 Beta maps and a really great look at not only the portable jump pad but also the Spartan Laser. Can’t wait to see if this dispaces the Rocket Launcher as the Anti-Vehicle weapon of choice.

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.

As a Powet.tv exclusive we have a rough cut of Terminator 4 after the jump!

Michael Bay has posted hi-resolution stills of eight Transformers from the upcoming movie, and they provide a pretty clear look at what these characters are going to look like when they’re standing still. There isn’t much more to say – or see – here without spoiling yourself with their appearances, but you can see them at his blog or just continue after the jump for mirrors.

Its been less than 24 hours since we heard about Adventures in “Soul Calibur” but here are some art stolen from 1UP!

Soul Calibur is the universally accepted fighting game of choice at the Powet offices, and any expansion on that world is welcome. When we initially heard about this game, the word came down we’d play as Siegfried, but that killer artwork of Ivy makes me thing we’ll see lots of playable characters.

So now the question– Will this be the next Death By Degrees or Shaolin Monks?

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.
