Arthur C. Clarke

The last of the Big Three has died.  Science Fiction author Arthur C. Clarke passed away early Wednesday morning local time in Sri Lanka.  For years Clarke, Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov made up the “Big Three” of Science Fiction writing.  Over a career spanning decades Clarke wrote close to 100 books and many more stories and articles most notably Childhood’s End and 2001: A Space Odyssey.  George Roddenberry credited Clarke’s work as inspiration for the original Star Trek.  Universally loved and appreciated, he will be missed.  Check out the Full Diagnosis to read Isaac’s Asimov‘s essay about his friend from his autobiograpy I. Assimov.

We told you about the new Wolverine film back in October, and with the recent announcement of several new cast members it seemed like a good time to revisit the subject.  Hugh Jackman will reprise the role for the prequel, and Liev Schreiber is indeed on board, but as Sabertooth (yeah, I didn’t know Sabertooth was Jewish either!), not William Stryker.  Marvel has announced the addition of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Will.i.am (of the Black Eyed Peas) as Johnny Wraith, Danny Huston as William Stryker, Lynn Collins as Kayla Silver Fox, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, Dominic Monaghan as Beak, and Danniel Henney as Agent Zero. Check out the Full Diagnosis to see how the casting matches up to the characters.  You’ll know more when we do!
