Nathon Fillion to Star in Guardians of the Galaxy

Director James Gunn recently revealed that Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle) will have an appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, as soon as it heard this, the rumor mill kicked into high gear trying to figure out who he would play. Gunn denied that he would be playing the part of Nova. Some current rumors seems to suggest that Fillion will be voicing the psychic cosmonaut dog, Cosmo. Now this is just speculation, so be sure to pay attention on August 1st.

“@STARS_TyranT: Are the rumours true that he has some part in the film?” @nathanfillion has a very small fun cameo he did as a favor to me.
— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) June 21, 2014

The rumors of my pal @NathanFillion playing Nova in #guardiansofthegalaxy have been greatly (and entirely) exaggerated. Sorry, humans.

Doctor Who Wins at 2014 Freesat Awards

The Day of the Doctor received the Best of British TV Program or Series Award at the Freesat Awards last night. Speaking at the event, Keeley Hawes (Ms Delphox in the upcoming series) told the Independent

We were in a terrible thing together years ago but a really, good fun thing. So, I knew him and Douglas McKinnon who directed the first three episodes of Line of Duty was directing it, so I felt very relaxed about that. But he’s just brilliant. Peter Capaldi is just fabulous – I think everyone’s going to love him. It was quite nerve-wracking going on such a big show. It feels like a big show because it is so well known and people love it so much, there’s a big old Who fanbase out there, so you’ve got all that pressure. I hope people enjoy my episode – it’s really good fun.
