· Steven Spielberg's time-travel dinosaur TV series Terra Nova has been delayed once again. Originally, a two-hour preview of the show was set to air in May, followed by a fall launch. However, the preview has been pushed back so that the team can work more on the visual effects, hopefully so that the series will look a little better than this. [Deadline]

· Steven Soderbergh revealed recently that he abandoned a long-gestating project about Nazi propaganda filmmaker Leni Reifenstahl because he thought everyone might like a virus thriller better. Said Soderbergh: "...Scott Burns and I spent six months working a project about the documentary filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl who made documentaries for the Nazis. And suddenly I just said 'Nobody is going to go see this. Like literally, it's going to be me and you.' And I go, 'I can't do this anymore. I can't spend two years making no money on something that I know no one is gonna see.' And I said, 'What else have you got?' And he goes, 'Well, I want to make a movie about about a pandemic.' And I go, 'Let's do that.'" And thus, Contagion was born. Ladies and gentlemen, the current state of the film industry! [Studio 360 via The Playlist]

· American Psycho author Bret East Ellis took a break from recommending romantic comedies to weigh in on the Charlie Sheen madness, and he insists that it is not about drugs. Rather, "Sheen has embraced post-Empire, making his bid to explain to all of us what celebrity now means. Whether you like it or not is beside the point. It's where we are, babe. We're learning something. Rock and roll. Deal with it." He goes on to list which celebrities "get it" and which don't. James Franco: Getting it. Madonna: Never got it! [The Daily Beast]

· Meanwhile, Sheen's live variety show, Charlie Sheen Live: My Violent Torpedo of Truth sold out Chicago and Detroit dates in under 18 minutes. He is now planning to hit "20 or 30" more cities and to donate $1 of every ticket sold to Japan relief. What a guy. Vulture]
