Life on Mars
The U.S. remake of British time-travel cop show
Life On Mars is trying to add some star power to its supporting cast, after the original U.S. pilot fell flat with... just about everybody, actually. The first addition to the U.S. cast:
Michael Imperioli, who played the mobster/filmmaker Christopher Moltisanti on
the Sopranos. He'll play detective Ray Carling, who's a Neanderthal who butts heads with time-lost detective Sam Tyler. Imperioli's casting is the best news we've heard lately about the new U.S. version of
Life, headed up by a new team of producers from the short-lived show
October Road.

Here's a knock-down dogfight between a high-tech spaceship and a whole swarm of pirate galleons, from the mind of artist Nicholas Ferrand aka V.I.A.G. Or maybe the spaceship is teaming up with the more low-fi pirates? My new favorite blog is Concept Ships, which posts nothing but concept art of spaceships, including famous people like Syd Mead and Ralph McQuarrie as well as rising stars. A gallery of some of the coolest images, below the fold.
