We may be getting a reboot of The Last Starfighter! If you’re a sci-fi geek, your probably going crazy for this news! Whether it be good or bad, I’m excited to say that The Last Starfighter Movie being reboot would be awesome. This comes at the same time that Ernie Clines ARMADA book just got bought by Universal and may become a movie! Will there be 2 movies about the same thing?
Time will tell.

There is absolutely no real proof at this point that the movie will be made, but Gary Whitta did post a HUGE teaser on twitter on April 4th, it does look like one is in the works.
He stated:
Okay, probably shouldn’t show you this so early but here’s a little something I’ve been tinkering on with my co-writer Jonathan Betuel. You might recognize the ships. Thanks to the amazing Matt Allsopp (lead concept artist on ROGUE ONE) for creating these images for us.
He also posted some sketch drawings to go along with the tweet that definitely suggest he’s working on some concepts for the reboot.
Whats interesting to me is the creator of Ready Player One wrote a book recently called ARMAD. And itis reeealllyyy close to the same premise as the Last Starfighter, and the MOVIE rights were bought by Universal Studios. So, it will be interesting to see if we end up having 2 separate movies come out in the next few years that ahave basically the same plot.
Not the first time this has happened, and wont be the last. (Armageddon, Deep Impact), Volcano/Dantes Peak.
Then next up, Got a update on Creed 2.
Aside from the movie looking more and more like its going to be a remake of Rocky 4, we just found out that Bridgett Neilson may be coming back to reprise her role as Ivan Drago’s WIFE, Ludmilla.
No real word yet, but Sylvester Stallone has a very active presence on social media, so it’s possible that the actor will post news of the return of Nielsen to the franchise. For now,check out this tweet, courtesy of Hugh Dillons Trwitter account that Brigitte Nielsen is in Philadelphia to work on Creed 2.
And speaking of Bridgette – Theres going to be a Red Sonja reboot! The original movie came out in 1985 and starred Bridgette Neilson as Sonja, but Deadline.com just reported that Millinium Films has appointed a writer to bring a new version of Red Sonja to the big screen. And its not gonna star Bridgette.
And then for you Arnold Schwarzneger fans, According to TMZ, the 70-year-old Terminator star was in the hospital on Thursday, March 29, 2018, for a catheter valve replacement. During the surgery, he experienced complications, so doctors rushed him into emergency open heart surgery, which took several hours. He’s now in recovery mode and seems to be doing fine.
Also, Linda Carter – from the original Wonder Woman TV show that ran from 1975 to 1979, just got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She’s now 66 years old and still looks amazing.
And in some Retro gadget news, If you loved those soft, lanky walkman style headphones from the 80s and 90s, your gonna be happy to hear that they are coming back in style.
A company called JLABS is introducing the Rewind Wireless Retro Headphones, which give up to 12 hours of music enjoyment for the totally awesome price of just 20.00! Ill link to where you can buy them, if your interested in some retro wireless headphones.
And then for the film 2001: A space odyssey’s 50th anniversary, you can now buy a replica of the HAL 9000 computer to put on your wall. Its actually interactive and even has a build in ALEXA, and if your names DAVE – this is a must have.
