A Nightmare on Elm Street
IGN has the teaser poster and a promotional image giving the first shots of Jackie Haley as the new Freddy Kreuger, albeit with his face heavily in shadow. The costume and fedora look almost identical to the original movies, although some set reports state that the makeup itself is noticeably more realistic.
Don't be fooled by the fourth image, which appears to be a publicity still for A Nightmare on Elm Street 4.

US Box Office
This weekends box office, courtesy of IMDB, shows Harry Potter making over $150 million in it's first week of release. The film looks set to become the highest grossing of the franchise.
Mixed reviews and controversy over the content have led to a substantial drop in takings for Bruno, which will struggle to reach Borats success. Meanwhile The Hangover is now the highest grossing R rated comedy of all time, a title owned for over 20 years by Beverly Hills Cop.

Doctor Who
From The Guardian comes news that David Tennant and Russell T Davies are expected to announce a big-screen outing for Doctor Who at the San Diego comic con later this month.
Tennant is scheduled to attend the annual fan convention in along with Russell T Davies, the show runner behind Doctor Who's small screen revival.
Davies has been dropping hints about a "special project" to Doctor Who Magazine. "News as and when – but I can promise it's worth waiting for," he said. The BBC has also confirmed that a Doctor Who feature is "in development".
Tennant, the 10th official Doctor Who, is due to leave the tardis after three further TV specials, the last of which will air in early 2010. After that the role will be taken over by new actor Matt Smith. Quite how this will tie in with Tennant continuing the role in feature films remains to be seen.

iPhone test
Blogwriter lite is a new piece of software which allows the posting of blog entries directly from the iPhone. Whilst useful the free version allows text only and does not allow you to edit text one posted. There also seems to be no way of adding tags to your post at present.
Notwithstanding this I'll be playing around with the software over the next few days and hopefully posting on a more regular basis than over the last few months.
