Nathan Fillion Voicing Hal Jordan in Upcoming Green Lantern DC Animated Release

Many lobbied for Nathan Fillion, currently the star of the ABC romantic comedy-drama cop show Castle, to star as Green Lantern, specifically Hal Jordan, on the big screen, but of course the role went to Ryan Reynolds.  Well, now we have fine consolation prize.

In the animated film Arisia is a young recruit forced into her first mission on just her third day as a Green Lantern and is taken under the wing of Jordan, also not unlike the comics when she first appeared (Tales of the Green Lantern Corps #1, 1981).

Zorro Complete Series Collecting '90s TV Show Due January 25 from A&E

A&E Home Entertainment will release Zorro: The Complete Series collecting the entire early '90s series on January 25.
The special set includes all 88 Episodes of the fan-favorite series – not seen since first airing on the Family Channel some 20 years ago. Extra include the Original, Swashbuckling Douglas Fairbanks Film, The Mark of Zorro, Chapter 1 of the 1939 Theatrical Serial, Zorro’s Fighting Legion, plus never before seen footage from the TV series. Never-Before-Seen Footage from the TV Series and Much, Much More!
Zorro began in 1919, with the publication of Johnston McCulley’s story, “The Curse of Capistrano”, followed a year later by Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford producing the first, silent The Mark of Zorro -- with Fairbanks as the title character -- as the inaugural film for United Artists.  Since then, the swashbuckling hero has inspired more than 40 films and nearly a dozen TV series.

Filmed entirely in Madrid, Spain, Zorro aired on The Family Channel for four seasons, from 1990-1993, and, for the very first time, this A&E DVD MegaSet collects all 88 episodes from the classic ’90s series that brought Zorro to life for a whole new generation of fans.  The legend of Zorro begins in the early 1800’s, when Los Angeles was a dusty pueblo, the farthest colonial outpost of the Spanish empire. This wild and untamed land was governed by the Alcalde, a corrupt mayor whose word was law and whose law was absolute.  Young and dashing Don Diego de la Vega (Duncan Regehr, Monster Squad), pretending to care only for science and study, secretly creates a bold alter-ego: Zorro -- the Fox.  And aided by his mute servant Felipe (not Bernardo as in the Guy Williams Disney series) inspired by the faith of the beautiful tavern-keeper Victoria, and carried into battle by the mighty steed Toronado, the masked crusader thwarts the Alcalde’s plots at every turn.  With his trademark whip and sword, he is everywhere and nowhere, quick to defend the innocent and attack the guilty.  And of course, he always leaves his trademark symbol 'Z,'  -- the mark of Zorro.
The cast also include Emmy-winner Henry Darrow (The High Chapparal, Santa Barbara) as Zorro’s father, Don Alejandro de la Vega, as well as  guest stars such as a young Daniel Craig (Quantum of Solace), Doug McClure (The Land That Time Forgot), Adam , Jesse Ventura and others.  
A&E will also release the four seasons of Zorro individually. The Complete Seasons 1-3 are each comprised of 4 collector’s discs while Season Four includes 2 DVDs. Suggested retail price for the Complete Series? $99.95.
