TRON fans eager to return to The Grid in TRON 3 are going to have to be patient, seeing how production on that threequel (still not a certainty) isn’t expected to begin until 2014 at the earliest. In the meantime, you’ll be able to take a trip back to the land of light-cycles and identity discs with the upcoming animated TV series, TRON: Uprising.

Uprising bridges the narrative gap between the original TRON movie and TRON: Legacy. Based on early footage from the show (which looks quite gorgeous), it imitates the aesthetic of the latter film, rather than the 1980s original – or, say, takes a hybrid approach, like that in Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” music video.

The TRON TV spinoff follows Beck (voice of Elijah Wood), an idealistic, young program who leads a revolution against the imperialistic reign of Clu (Fred Tatasciore, reprising his role from the TRON: Evolution video game). Serving as Beck’s mentor is the legendary Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), who helps the would-be revolutionary become a wise and capable player in the struggle to restore freedom to the people (programs?) of The Grid.

Rounding out the voice cast for TRON: Uprising are fan-faves like Paul Reubens and Lance Henricksen (Aliens), along with Mandy Moore, Emmauelle Chriqui, Reginald VelJohnson and Nathan Corddry, among others.

TRON: Uprising begins airing on Disney XD next month on June 7th, 2012, following the premiere of a half-hour “prelude” titled Tron: Uprising – Beck’s Beginning on the Disney Channel on May 18th.

I have added over 900 screen captures of Kate Mara from her appearances on the TV shows “American Horror Story”, “Ed” and “Everwood”.

Finally the screen captures of American Horror Story started to be added. First batch has 03 episodes, but you can expect the remaining tomorrow.

The official trailer for Oscar-winner Danny Boyle’s latest film, “127 Hours” has been released. “127 Hours” will be released in theatres on November 7th and it stars James Franco, CLemence Poesy, Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara.

127 Hours is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s (James Franco) remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet?

It was announced months ago that the new “Spider-Man” reboot would feature Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. But which lovely young Hollywood starlet should play his love interest? According to the Hollywood Reporter, the character will not be Mary Jane Watson, who was played by Kirsten Dunst in the recent “Spider-Man” trilogy. Gwen Stacy, a character introduced in “Spider-Man 3″ and played by Bryce Dallas Howard, is still a possibility, or it could be some unknown female character.

THR revealed several names in talks for the part — Imogen Poots, Ophelia Lovibond, Lilly Collins, Teresa Palmer and Emma Roberts. Zap2it would like to offer a few casting suggestions of our own:

Rooney Mara is an unknown who isn’t doing anything right now just got cast as Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” But we actually think her sister Kate Mara would make an excellent comic book heroine.

Other names suggested included: Dianna Agron (“Glee”), Lyndsy Fonseca (“Kick-Ass”), Chloe Moretz (“Kick-Ass”), Lucy Hale (“Pretty Little Liars”). Who do you think should play Peter Parker’s new love interest? (Source)

Official Synopsis: Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who’s having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam’s life revolves around his friends—Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam’s eye.

Written, directed, and starring Josh Radnor (CBS’s How I Met Your Mother), happythankyoumoreplease boasts a wryly funny script and engaging performances from its ensemble cast. With honesty and humor, Radnor captures a generational moment—young people on the cusp of truly growing up, struggling for connection, and hoping to define what it means to love and be loved.

I’m getting seriously behind on updates for this site and I apologize for that.  I do have tons of stuff that I will be adding this week assuming all goes well.  For now, I have a couple little items that have been emailed to me.

- Whowhatwear.com chose Kate as their girl of the month.  A cute article is included and they call Kate their “current fashion crush”.  Click here to read the whole thing.

- Rebecca emailed me with the video preview for tomorrow night’s new episode of Entourage and it looks like Kate’s appearances might finally be happening.  You can view the preview here and if the girl pouring coffee isn’t Kate, I’ll be very surprised.  Thank you Rebecca for the heads up.

- I also received an email from Stephen Lacant (the director of Kate’s movie Fireflies) with some excellent news.  The film has finally been released in the U.S.!  It’s available for download here and I will be posting more info and the photos he included in the email tomorrow.  Stephen also pointed out that the movie will be available via amazon.com soon.  Thank you very, very much for emailing me Stephen!

I received an email today from Daniela who wanted to know if I could find any information about Kate appearing in a Starlight Children’s Foundation presentation of Cinderella: The Shoe Must Go On.  I am still doing some digging, but this is what I’ve found so far.  A link to the official site that includes a photo of the promotional poster.  I also found a video via youtube that shows Kate on stage.  It looks like the performance may be available to buy so if anyone in the UK could look into that and email me with further information, I would greatly appreciate it.  You can view the video after the cut.
