According to Superhero Hype, actress Lena Headey will play the role of Queen Gorgo in the Frank Miller adaptation. "I just wear very little," she said, "And they go off to war and I'm sort of left holding the political court as they f**k off and fight. Basically, she's in over her head, so she sort of deals with the back home malarkey. I think it's wrapped, so that the boys can get back in their clothes."

BIGFOOTHollywood North Report is claiming that Rogue Pictures has optioned the Steve Niles/Richard Corben version of "Bigfoot," published through IDW. "The whole reason Rob and I created the 'Bigfoot' comic," Niles said, "and now the film, is to undo the damage done by movies like 'Harry And The Hendersons' that made 'Bigfoot' a silly character. I've always found the idea of Bigfoot to be scary. I hope the film reflects that."

Producer Al Gough is feeling loquacious, giving interviews to both Kryptonsite and Television Without Pity. Meanwhile, Kryptonsite also has a gallery of screen captures from the trailer to next week's 100th episode, "Reckoning."
