Move over James Jones — Leon Uris clobbers the big screen with a sprawling adaptation of his WW2 combat novel, loaded down with roles for promising young actors. This is the one where twice as much time is spent on love affairs than fighting. War may be hell, but if Mona Freeman, Nancy Olson, Dorothy Malone and Allyn McLerie are going to be there for comfort, sign me up.

[Spoilers for Torchwood: Children of Earth]
For those of us that have been waiting patiently since the end of Children of Earth to see just what would happen next, we will finally get our answers On Friday, July 8th, courtesy of Starz Entertainment. The new mini-series, Miracle Day, is being co-produced by the BBC and Starz, and is set to see John Barrowman, Eve Myles, and Kai Owen return in their original roles, along with Mekhi Phifer (ER, 8 Mile) and Bill Pullman (The Grudge, Independence Day, Singles). The last we saw of Gwen Cooper (Myles) and Rhys Williams (Owen), they were watching a devastated Captain Jack Harkness (Barrowman) – beaten physically and mentally after sacrificing his own grandson to save every other child on Earth – preparing to hitch a ride Ford Prefect-style to leave the planet and run away. Jack was last seen in the second part of 'The End of Time', David Tennant’s final story on Doctor Who,...

Russell T. Davies is bringing Torchwood to the New World in the series’ fourth season to be carried by Starz. This reboot entitled Torchwood: The New World, will “follow a CIA agent (Rex) and analyst (Ester) who tackle an alien-related global issue.” With the original Torchwood team disbanded as it was at the end of the mini-series Torchwood: Children of Earth last summer, the underground alien-fighting force is “like a legend now … it’s like something that’s ceased to exist and is now spoken of only in whispers.” Rex Matheson and Ester will team up with Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) for this fourth season. The roles of Rex and Ester have yet to be cast.
Davies describes the dynamic for the reboot:
“The two teams coming together is a big part of the story — are they friends or enemies? There’s...
