Geek News You Should Know: 5/23/14

1) The new season of Doctor Who is going to be premiering earlier than most thought, August 2014.  They also released a very short teaser and it is definitely just a tease which you can check out below.



2) The Pete Holmes Show which followed Conan on TBS every night has been cancelled by the network due to low ratings.  The show's last episode will air on June 5.

3) The director of Godzilla, Gareth Edwards, will be in the director's chair for the untitled Star Wars spinoff movie that will hit theaters December 16, 2016.  Nobody is certain which movie this will be at this point but the rumor mill tends to believe it'll be the Boba Fett movie.  Interesting to see him opt to not make the next Godzilla movie, but if you have a chance to make a Star Wars movie, I guess you have to take it, right?

4) While Alfonso Cuaron has recently been linked to directing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, he has also been offered the chance to direct The Overlook Hotel, which will be a prequel to 1980's The Shining.  The project is currently being written by former The Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara.

5) I love Catfish on MTV, it's easily one of the strangest and most interesting reality TV shows on the air.  This article gives a really cool behind the scenes look on how the show is made.  It's nice to know that everything we see on the air is real, however the producers have the answers the whole time and don't give them up.  It's a good read if you're a fan of the show.
