Source: collider.com

Though there had been talk about a film adaptation about the seminal comic book series The Sandman from Neil Gaiman (who also wrote the source material for such adaptations as Coraline and Stardust), but now Heat Vision reports the property is now in the early stages of being developed into a TV show over at Warner Bros. The studio is currently acquiring the rights from DC Entertainment and have already begun talks with various writers and producers for the TV adaptation. Apparently the top choice right now is Eric Kripke, most well known for creating Supernatural, but at the moment author Neil Gaiman is currently not involved with these developments which could create problems down the road. For those unfamiliar with the property you can find story details are after the jump.

Director Frank Darabont and actor Thomas Jane have a long history together. One that Jane wants to continue while inhabiting a wasteland filled with shambling flesh-eaters. Ah yes, dear reader! It’s time for more chatter concerning our most looked forward to TV show, “The Walking Dead.”

In a recent interview with NBC Washington, Jane dropped the following on fans …

“That show is going to be a a big fucking hit,” he told them at the HBO post-Emmy party. “I’ve seen it and is fan-fucking-tactic.” He continues, “I’m going to come on and do a guest thing … Maybe play a bad guy.” Jane says he’ll insist on being human in the guest role, however. He’ll slay the undead, but he won’t play one. “I’m not going to be a zombie,” he says. “That’s too much makeup.”

Krackens, Griffins, Dragons and more for Syfy on Beast Legends, Sept. 9

“What If” Beasties are coming to Syfy.

Syfy will premiere Beast Legends, a new six-part series which journeys around the world using scientific data to reconstruct what mythological monsters, from Krakens and Griffins to Fire Dragons, would have looked like.

The debut of Beast Legends on Thursday, September 9, at 10PM (ET/PT) follows the fourth season return of Destination Truth at 9PM (ET/PT).

In each of the hour-long episodes, Beast Legends uncovers historical and eyewitness accounts by zeroing in on archaeological and other physical evidence to assemble the most accurate picture possible of these alleged monsters, from where they might have lived to how they would have behaved.

TV Guide is reporting that “Desperate Housewives” actress Maiara Walsh will appear on the Oct. 7 episode of “TVD” as high-schooler (and major partier) Sarah.

“Sarah is a girl who sets her eyes on Jeremy and encourages him to party it up at the Lockwood house,” “TVD” executive producer Kevin Williamson told TV Guide. Considering executive producer Julie Plec already alluded to a growing connection between Tyler and Jeremy, it’s no surprise Jeremy will be spending more time around the Lockwood residence.

In an effort to extend its reach in the market, Ford has launched a new multi-channel marketing campaign, which includes a product placement in the popular CW television series, Vampire Diaries.

The centerpiece of the campaign is the 2011 Ford Fiesta, one the brand?s entry level vehicles. Its appearance on the second season of Vampire Diaries will take place later this year. But, the Detroit-based auto manufacturer has already begun promoting its appearance.

A lot of people have been added to the cast for the new season of Vamp Diaries. I guess that just means more death. Do you think most of the new additions will die?

I am not surprised to see Ford advertising through Vampire Diaries. Volvo did the same thing in Twilight. Vampires bring in big money. Do you think Ford will sell more cars because they advertised on Vampire Diaries?

True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten’s Hidden Talent: Prankster

True Blood star Ryan Kwanten may be a sex symbol to fans, but his costars say there’s much more to the hunky actor who plays the dim but endearing Jason Stackhouse.

“I think if Ryan could retire from acting and be a prankster, he would consider it,” Jim Parrack, who plays Hoyt Fortenberry on the HBO hit, tells PEOPLE.

So what was one of Kwanten’s more memorable pranks? “He took our cameraman’s car and filled it with ladybugs,” says Parrack. “He goes all out.”

Courtney Ford teases ‘Diaries’ role

Courtney Ford has revealed details of her role in the new season of The Vampire Diaries.

Ford told E! Online that her character will meet Alaric (Matt Davis), Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) when they visit Duke University.

“I play Vanessa Monroe, a Duke University grad student who’s helping Alaric, Damon and Elena with Isobel’s research,” she said. “It’s a nice arc.”

Ford added that Vanessa will struggle to come to terms with the existence of vampires, saying: “Vanessa has a conflict because she studies all this wonderful mythology and folklore, but half of her is a complete sceptic. Half of her is a believer, and half of her is a sceptic, and she goes back and forth. It’s a big conflict for her.”

Ford also hinted that she will have a love interest on the show but refused to reveal any more details.

“I want to tell you so much but I can’t,” she said. “They’ll kill me if I reveal too much!”
