Song of Dark Tower watch!

I'm not usually prone to report what's 2% fact and 98% speculation, but this report by IGN is a possible goldmine of a scoop about Stephen King's Dark Tower adaptation. J.J. Abrams' possible involvement is a good sign, as is the desire to do it as a miniseries (a movie would be far, far too short to cover this sprawling 7-book opus).

The Dark Tower is also coming to a comic book rack near you. Soon. Whenever.

Another possible miniseries that I'm eagerly watching is The Song of Ice & Fire, based off of George R. R. Martin's epic low fantasy novels. Definitely pick up and peruse The Game of Thrones if you haven't yet, and be amazed how real a fantasy world can be. Martin weighs in on HBO's optioning the rights to do his books, and while it's exciting to think about it, it's certainly not greenlit at this point to start production.

I've been eager to hear about the pseudo-sequel to Band of Brothers entitled The Pacific War, but nothing new has happened on that front for over a year.
