Superimpose your face onto Jack Bauer's, when Oddcast gets its act together and launches
TechCrunch remains one of my favourite blogs, for bringing brilliant new web 2.0 start-ups to my attention, like Oddcast’s 3D Videostar service.
It hasn’t launched yet, but it allows you to superimpose your face (or anyone’s face, really…) over an actor’s face in movie clips. Thus, your desire to be John McClane in Die Hard is fulfilled.
It hasn’t launched yet, and there’s no word as to the date when we can all get busy starring in our favourite films, but I’m sure TechCrunch will let us know, via Arrington releasing a clip of him as David Bowie in Labyrinth. *shudder*…

Block your ears, Madonna's Filth and Wisdom film going straight to internet, possibly iTunes
We normally leave fluffy stories involving blond popstars up to our friends at Shiny Shiny, but in that instance, I just can’t resist poking fun at Madonna, with the news her film is going…straight to the internet!
She claims that her directorial debut Filth and Wisdom is bypassing the cinema because she is “a beginner so I think I should start off in an understated way. Just because I’m established in one field doesn’t mean that’s how I should approach anything else I do”. As much as she insists she doesn’t want her reputation as a pop goddess to give her an advantage over other film makers, the film got slated after it was premiered at the Berlin Film Festival last week.
“I’ve been speaking to iTunes…
Save your old 35mm film negatives with IWOOT's digital film scanner
It’s a sad state of affairs when you open all your office draws, looking for a USB stick, and all you can find are old film negative cannisters. Anyone born before 1990 is guilty of this (and a whole lot more), I’m sure.
I Want One Of Those has just added a new wondrous gadget to their virtual shelves, the digital film scanner. Convert those old 35mm negatives and mounted slides into…
George Lucas embarasses his fans further with announcement of animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars film
George Lucas has reaffirmed the notion in most Star Wars fanboys’ minds that he is disintegrating into a gnarled old man consumed with wreaking havoc on his back catalogue, by announcing the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars film, out on August 15th.
You heard correctly. It’s leading on from where the 2002 movie Attack Of The Clones left off, and before 2005’s Revenge Of The Sith.
And is entirely animated.
At least we won’t have to put up with Hayden Christensen’s questionable acting, I suppose….

What's worse than watching a U2 concert? Watching one in 3D!
People are still listening to U2?! What, are they deaf?!
Maybe they just like ground-breaking events, like the publicity stunt the band will throw in late January next year in the US. ‘U2 3D’ is the first three-dimensional full-length concert film that’s ever been made, supposedly…
MySpace recruits 10 users to star in 'Faintheart' film with Tim Healy
Many people use social-networking sites such as MySpace or YouTube in the hopes they’ll launch their porn acting careers, but as you know, most fail (thank goodness).
However, ten lucky internet users still stuck in 2004 who persist at using MySpace are rubbing their hands together…
