It's something which I have not experienced before, which is so moving, and I am unsure if I'll find yourself getting the chance to determine that kind of forward and backward again." The important thing for the series' devoted following? Nerd appeal. Chuck made like a nerd awesome. In Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi), fans found an everyman who also will be a computer whiz, an alpha part of Buy More's Nerd Herd. The show celebrated computer geekdom with an above average slice from the tales happening inside the large-box electronics store. "The Buy More will be a really emotional place once we shot our last moments there," Levi mentioned.

"But she will get this behind-the-moments bawdiness that jogs my memory of Carol Burnett in their heyday, that's just lovely for a number of males." From Chuck to Nikita: TV's hottest crime mma fighters For Levi, like a nerd isn't just an on-screen persona, it's a existence-style. "'Nerd' is an extremely operative word throughout my existence," he mentioned. "Like a nerd means you're passionate about something or it's a identifying factor within your existence. And for your reason many of us are brainiacs, because many of us are passionate about something. Which I really like that people can embrace might bridge the area between people who might not always consider themselves a nerd. I believe that take action! Embrace that. Plus it brings people together on a more level playing area." Co-star Ryan McPartlin, who spoke to TVGuide.com in the separate interview, agreed.

Once I was maturing, everybody tried to get to be the awesome guy, the hero or perhaps the Magnum P.I., The A-Team. Therefore we see art galleries and systems serving a demographic of brainiacs In my opinion is hysterical and genius. Now you have.Inch In November 2010, Levi and Chuck prop master David Coleman and Courtney Coleman launched The Nerd Machine, an internet-based community which will spread nerd culture through sales of products, forums to talk about hobbies together with other projects.

"In my opinion that over the following five years, we will probably see really incredible steps to date as social networking as well as the impact that will have ... supplying the general public the opportunity to attain the energy. For me you have to give them the power back. In my opinion whenever you believe in them from it and everyone posseses an knowing that if you feel in whatever this can be and you also purchase it -- don't steal it, don't rip it, don't burn it -- but purchase it to ensure that as extended when you are not gouging your audience, you'll be able to create a healthy relationship together. "If only to visit create my own, personal independent content and entertainment in new models in new ways," he ongoing, "and essentially show art galleries and systems and whatever that people are wonderful, that clients, fans will treat something preciously if they're due to the opportunity to do that.In .

Angelina Jolie's 'Maleficent' Gets New Director

"The Bourne Legacy" finally gets a teaser poster to reinforce the fact that this isn't Matt Damon's franchise any more. In other news, the celebrity announcer for the Oscar nominations is, err, announced, "Maleficent" gets a new director and Kiefer Sutherland reveals new details about the long-anticipated "24" movie. It's January 9, and you're here for today's daily news round-up. "The Bourne Legacy" Gets A Teaser Poster Only a few days after the first image from "The Bourne Legacy" hit the web, a basic teaser poster has hit as well. All it really highlights is the fact that Jeremy Renner will be starring in the flick instead of Matt Damon, but doesn't offer any sort of look at what the movie will be beyond the tagline "Prepare for the unexpected." Hopefully Universal will come up with a bit stronger marketing campaign as we get closer to "The Bourne Legacy's" August 3 release date. Jennifer Lawrence To Announce Oscar Nominations The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed that Jennifer Lawrence will be announcing the 2012 Oscar nominations alongside Academy president Tom Sherak. The event will take place on January 24. Lawrence was an Oscar nominee last year for "Winter's Bone," and is also in the highly anticipated 2012 film "The Hunger Games." In 2011, Lawrence starred in "Like Crazy," "The Beaver" and "X-Men: First Class." "Maleficent" Gets A Director Tim Burton might not be helming the upcoming "Sleeping Beauty" spin-off "Maleficent," but Disney has hired the next best thing. Deadline learned the studio has tapped "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland" production designer Robert Stromberg to direct the project as his directorial debut. Though he might not have directing experience, at least Stromberg does have a good eye for filmmaking. He won Oscars for his art direction of both previously mentioned films. "Maleficent" is still being developed as a starring vehicle for Angelina Jolie. "The Devil Inside" Director Heads To "The Vatican" After "The Devil Inside's" big opening weekend, Warner Bros has turned to its director William Brent Bell to helm their film "The Vatican." Deadline reports the film is staying within the religious horror genre, and is merging a traditional narrative with "found footage" sequences. No word yet on when the film is set to hit theaters, but apparently it's on the fast track to production. Kiefer Sutherland Reveals More "24" Movie Details Forgive us for growing a bit skeptical about TV-to-film adaptations, but it's hard to remain hyped for projects that have been in gestation for literally years. So when Kiefer Sutherland tells TV Line that the "24" movie is set to start filming in late April or early May, we're trying to stop ourselves from getting too excited, especially because the flick doesn't have a director and no one beyond Sutherland has said they'll be reprising their roles from the show. Sutherland did say that the movie will be jumping in time by about six months, and the movie will take place over a 24 hour period like the show did. "Les Miserables" Synopsis Revealed Universal has revealed the official synopsis for their "Les Miserables" movie starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway. "Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, 'Les Misrables' tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemptiona timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantines (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever," it reads. Note that there's no mention of Taylor Swift, Amanda Seyfried or Sacha Baron Cohen, all of whom are up for roles. Tom Hooper is directing the flick, which is out December 7. Tell us your thoughts on today's Dailies in the comments section below or on Twitter.

Start looking at Amanda Seyfried as Linda Lovelace
