Ronald Moore, the creator of the Battlestar Galactica reboot, debuted a new pilot on Fox last Friday called Virtuality. If you didn’t watch it, you’re not alone. In order for a pilot to be picked up for an eventually series, one general rule is that people need to see it. That didn’t happen. Hence, Virtuality will not be a series. Frankly, that’s just as well. Apparently I was one of the few people to watch the show, though I only watched the first half before terminal boredom set in.

Virtuality could have been a good series, but for me, the whole ‘reality show on a spaceship” aesthetic failed to grab.

If you can’t get enough Family Guy on TV then you’ll be able to fill that void in your soul with an app for iPhone, coming soon from Fox Mobile Entertainment. What’s it do?

From Variety:

The “Freakin’ Sweet Family Guy” app will include up to 20 show clips, as well as the ability for users to build their own video mix. A link will also allow users to directly purchase full-length “Family Guy” episodes from iTunes.

Other features include the “Peter Toss,” in which “Family Guy” patriarch Peter Griffin is tossed around various backgrounds — triggering various soundbites. And “Stewie Pin-Up” allows users to swap body parts to create a different character.

Clips will be accessed via four video channels — “Best of Stewie,” “Brian’s World,” “Peter’s Life Lessons” and “The World According to Chris.” Each channel has five “Family Guy” clips.

Pre-roll video advertising is included on the app, which costs $1.99. Rhythm NewMedia helped Fox Mobile create the “Family Guy” app, which utilizes Apple’s 3.0 OS for the iPhone.

That’s great and all, but there are a ton of out here still waiting for Apple to approve the South Park app.

The wait is nearly over. Rumor has it that Fox will be bringing some choice scenes from James Cameron’s Avatar to the San Diego Comic-Con, offering up a first look at the 3D technology that powers the film.

Collider has a few more details on the matter.

Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine in the upcoming movie, has finally made a comment about the recent workprint leak that caused a big Internet-broohaha last week. While the leak may be detrimental to box-office receipts, there was one good thing that came from the event: Fox fired pathetic gossip-writer and all-around jackoff Roger Friedman, who had been foolish enough to brag about downloading the movie.

So, what does Jackman, who as a producer of Wolverine has a vested interest in its success, have to say about what happened?

From Hollywood Reporter:

“It’s a serious crime, and there’s no doubt it’s very disappointing. I was heartbroken by it,” Jackman said. “Obviously, people are seeing an unfinished film. It’s like a Ferrari without a paint job.” He added that he was heartened that about 95% of the online community condemned the leak and said was confident that the culprit will be caught.

“The FBI are onto it, and they’re taking it very, very seriously,” he said.
