Billy Zane Addresses His Army of Heartbroken 14 Year Old Fans

As is the ever spinning cycle of pop culture, fad and fashion, what was once popular may still yet return. Such is the case for mega cult film star Billy Zane whose unforgettable films like The Phantom and Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight won him the hearts and minds of millions of dedicated fans across the globe. Now it seems Mr. Zane is experiencing the resurgence in popularity that he so richly deserves! Screaming, squealing, somewhat angry and absolutely heartbroken teen and pre-teen girls have taken to the internet to show their undying love and support of Zane. This unprecedented spike in popularity can't be tied to any new projects announced as Zane's last 9 projects are still listed in various states of pre or post production and "Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard" has not quite reached the level of instant cult classic status we had previously thought it might. Still, the endless tweets speak for themselves! Here's Billy Zane graciously reading some of them for his adoring public...

Twitter Requests: More Buffy, Please

Twitter poster @ThoughtOtter asked the great and powerful Joss Whedon for more Buffy the Vampire Slayer. His reply was "Your wish is my command."

Meanwhile, Dark Horse Comics has been continuing the saga of Buffy, Angel and all their pals, with and without pointy teeth. All stories are created under the watchful eye of their original creator. YOU SHOULD BE READING THIS BOOK!!!

Nathan Fillion Answers....Everything

On a clear day at the tail end of a crisp February, Nathan Fillion dropped everything he was doing and decided to answer questions on Twitter. ALL THE QUESTIONS. Nerdy folks far and wide quickly caught on and got their queries in. This is a sampling of that spontaneous Q and A.

  “@effhoughton: @NathanFillion how do u stop urself frm procrastinating?” I'll come back to this one.

  

  “@Mandagh: @NathanFillion why can't I make myself finish my novel?” Try blackmail.

 “@seededtable: @NathanFillion Expecting baby boy #2 in May. What should we name him?” Quinter.

POOLWATCH: Deadpool's Father Speaks on New Movie

Robert Liefeld, sometimes known as the "scourge of the comic industry" or "that guy who gave Captain America boobs" had a thing or two to say to FOX today via the magical universe called Twitter...

Dear FOX studios, get your act together. Deadpool is not Green Lantern, not a family film. DP is "filthy" think Expendables $$ w/ RR

Also FOX, find your balls and film the script from Rheese and Wernick. You will make loads of money and thank yourself later.

Dear FOX, these five will show up and slice your nutz if you screw DP up! http://twitpic.com/3c8ym2

FOX is always worrisome to me @JStud_ Not exactly the greatest track record. DP is in their hands.

It boils down to this, Ryan Reynolds, Mr. Sexiest Man alive paired with best comic script ever written, no-brainer....make Deadpool happen!

43 is the new 72 for me....i just speak my mind and don't give a crap....grumpy old Liefeld.

I agree will all of that 100%. With Reynolds on board (if that is still the case, as it was at SDCC this year) this movie will be like printing money. Without having to worry if the damn thing will succeed on opening weekend, they should allow the right people to create a story worthy of this hysterically psychotic character with enough blood shed and ultra violence to make Brock Samson scream ENOUGH ALREADY!! I always thought a Deadpool movie should have the slapstick elements of a Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) movie, the crackerjack timing of The 5th Element, a body count somewhere between the last Rambo movie and Shoot Em Up and several action and comic book movie parodies/nods thrown in like..suddenly as he's leaping across buildings the movie looks like Sin City and he's talking all gruff like Marv and remarks..I hate this part of town....OH and there needs to be at least one moment where someone is giving a speech and ends it with "AND HOLY GOD I FUCKING HATED VAN WILDER!!" to which Deadpool will peek out from behind said person giving the speech, in his mask and give the iconic one eyebrow up look right at the audience. Make it so!
