A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Supposedly Abbie Cornish will star with Jake Gyllenhaal in a film about a private expedition to the moon to create a Lunar colony.

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. It's an interesting idea, and we'll certainly give it a chance when it comes out, but we're still a little weirded out by the idea of a revisionist Robin Hood story wherein Hood is little more than a common thief and the Sheriff of Nottingham is actually a pretty decent guy.
