A special double-sized edition - since the service I use to gather all these stories was down - this edition of the Daily Blast is jam packed full of goodness.

We’ve got the latest team-up of Rogen and Franco, the weirdest mech ever, an amazing NASA spaceship, and some more gaming news from E3.

Strap in, here is your DAILY BLAST!

Movies

• The surreal poster is up top, but here’s the first trailer for The Interview, the latest reteaming of James Franco and Seth Rogen, where Franco plays a talk show host who is recruited by the CIA to kill Kim Jong-un!

• Despite dying in the first film, Sigourney Weaver has signed on to appear in the three (yes, three) forthcoming Avatar sequels as a new character. I smell evil twin!

• The new trailer for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is looking pretty darn good.

• It has no title, but Kristen Wiig will be making her directoral debut with a film written by her and her Bridesmaids collaborator Annie Mumolo.

• Appropriately enough, Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson, Jr. has signed on to play Ice Cube in the NWA bio-flick Straight Out of Compton.

• Two more Guardians of the Galaxy character posters have hit the web: Gamora (above) and Drax.

• I’m pretty much always in when it comes to Laika’s movies (Coraline, Paranorman), so obviously, this trailer for The Boxtrolls had me in from frame number one.

• Congratulations, Napoleon Dynamite - you’re 10 years old. Have an ugly ass statue.

- Sonic the Hedgehog is getting his own movie. It just has to be better than Super Mario Bros, right?

- Expect a 10 minute “super serious” cut of 22 Jump Street as a bonus on the Blu-Ray.

• Wonder why you can’t pre-order The LEGO Movie at Amazon? Yeah, they’re in the middle of a contract pissing match with Warner Bros.

• Celebrating 30 years of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Paramount will be releasing a documentary, titled Turtle Power.

- When you’re asked “Why aren’t there female characters?” in your game, never ever answer “It’s too hard!"

Comics

• It sounds confusing at times, but this upcoming Avengers arc, “Time Runs Out”, where Avengers and New Avengers jump ahead eight months in time sounds really cool.

• Unsurprisingly, with his Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. integration, Deathlok is getting his own Marvel ongoing.

TV

• I’ve never been an Avatar: The Last Airbender guy, but I feel like you guys are gonna be stoked about the trailer for the third season of The Legend of Korra.

- The Lion King is 20 years old, you guys. That means it is now officially time to make it relevant to a new generation, which the new The Lion Guard cartoon aims to do.

• Netflix will be rebooting The Magic School Bus as a CG animated series.
