Did you hear the one about the vampire, ghost and werewolf?

They are all living under one roof in a little flat outside Bristol on the BBC's Being Human. The show stars Lenora Crichlow as the initially meek and unassertive ghost, Russell Tovey as the unassuming werewolf and Aidan Turner as the vampire. The three are the most unlikely of roommates to share a spot of tea let alone a flat. The series follows their quest to be more human again, to live together, to have some assemblance of a normal life. You know doing stuff like holding a job, having a relationship that sort of thing. The show presents an interesting mix of dramatic moments, comedic relief and generally scary moments such as the werewolf's transformation from human to his wolf incarnate form. It takes some time for the trio to build their confidence and learn to harness the powers of their individual conditions but when it does happen it is fun to watch.

BBC America is currently showing the 1st series and the second series is being filmed now and is scheduled to debut in January of 2010.

There's some amazing video here showing how George is transformed from his human to werewolf form and two prequel videos produced to promote the show.

Famed Dusk till Dawn,El Mariachi, Sin City and Spy Kids director Robert Rodriguez is working on preproduction for live action version of the Jetsons. Adam F. Goldberg from Fanboys completed a script for the movie in 2007 but Rodriguez has been hard at work retooling the script. He's also been pretty tight lipped about casting for the movie. Here's hoping that the movie doesn't turn out like the live action version of the Flinstones. With Robert Rodriquez at the helm I have some faith in the project. In the meantime take a look at these re-imagined Jetsons costumes inspired by the original cartoon characters Judy and Jane never looked like this in the animate series.

If you were casting for this movie who would you cast for Judy,Jane, Elroy, George and Mr. Cosmo?
