Tricia Helfer Guest Starring on Community

Abed’s about to kind a kindred spirit via a Cylon. Which kind of sounds right, no?

TVLine's Meg Masters reports that Tricia Helfer is guest starring in an episode of Community this coming season. She’ll play Lauren, described as a "drop-dead gorgeous superfan" of Community’s oft-mentioned Doctor Who parody/substitute, Inspector Spacetime. At Comic-Con, Community’s new showrunners, David Guarascio and Moses Port, revealed there will be an episode involving an Inspector Spacetime convention.

No doubt there's some fun tongue-in-cheek casting having Helfer, best known for Battlestar Galactica, playing someone obsessed with a science fiction series. It was preciously reported that Little Britain’s Matt Lucas will play another Spacetime uber-fan this season.

Community: Season 4 premieres October 19th. Also previously revealed as guest starring is Malcolm McDowell, who will play a Greendale professor.

G.I. Joe 2 Director to Helm He-Man Movie

Sony is moving forward with their plans to make a new live-action Masters of the Universe movie by tapping G.I. Joe: Retaliation helmer Jon M. Chu to direct it.

The Hollywood Reporter says Chu's reps confirmed the filmmaker is in talks to direct the second attempt at a He-Man movie. (The 1987 feature Masters of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren, was the first.) Alex Litvak and Mike Finch penned the script, entitled Grayskull, for Sony and production company Escape Artists.

You may recall that Chu's G.I. Joe sequel was pushed from its June release date to March 2013.

Chu has also worked with Justin Bieber on his concert documentary so let the rumors begin to fly that this obviously means Bieber and Dwayne Johnson, who plays Roadblock in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, will star in Masters of the Universe. Or maybe even Channing Tatum as Prince Adam.
