Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation has released a gallery of images from Megamind, which arrives in theaters on Nov. 5.
Here's how the movie is described:
"Megamind is the most brilliant super-villain the world has ever known... and the least successful. Over the years, he has tried to conquer Metro City in every imaginable way - Each attempt, a colossal failure thanks to the caped superhero known as Metro Man, until the day Megamind actually defeats him in the throes of one of his botched evil plans. Suddenly, the fate of Metro City is threatened when a new villain arrives and chaos runs rampant, leaving everyone to wonder: Can the world's biggest 'mind'actually be the one to save the day?"
The film features the voices of Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Brad Pitt and David Cross.

TRON: EVOLUTION VIDEO GAME
Disney Interactive Studios has released two new videos for the TRON: Evolution, hitting shelves on Dec. 7.
The first is a behind-the-scenes look at the gameÕs voice over cast, including Olivia While and Bruce Boxleitner.
Syfy has announced that it has give a greenlight for Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome from executive producer David Eick.
Universal Cable Productions will produce the 2-hour pilot.
Here's how the network describes the concept:
"Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome takes place in the 10th year of the first Cylon war. As the battle between humans and their creation, a sentient robotic race, rages across the 12 colonial worlds, a brash rookie viper pilot enters the fray. Ensign William Adama, barely in his 20Õs and a recent Academy graduate, finds himself assigned to the newest battlestar in the Colonial fleetÉ the Galactica. The talented but hot-headed risk-taker soon finds himself leading a dangerous top secret mission that, if successful, will turn the tide of the decade long war in favor of the desperate fleet."
"The ÔGalactica' universe as re-imagined by Ron Moore and David Eick is rich with possibilities and backstory," said Mark Stern, executive vice president of original programming. "We jumped at the chance to revisit the William Adama character and explore this exciting chapter in the BSG narrative which falls between the events of the original series and the prequel, Caprica, currently airing on Syfy."
Said Eick: "While maintaining the themes of politics, social propaganda, and the timeless question: what does it mean to be human? -- Blood & Chrome will also return us to the authentic, relentless depiction of combat and the agony and ecstasy of human-Cylon war, which was the hallmark of Battlestar Galactica's early seasons."
