Sanctuary 2-Hour Premiere Ratings

It looks like The Sci Fi Channel is pretty pleased with itself this week, especially since the premiere of the Amanda Tapping series Sanctuary delivered (what I’m gathering) great ratings for the cable network. I liked what I saw of the show’s 2-hour premiere, but I have to admit, I kind...

Battle: Los Angeles Gets Director

“Battle: Los Angeles” is definitely one of those movies I’m looking forward to, mostly because the idea behind it sounds so good, and there’s a lot of opportunity for sequels if the original does well. Can you imagine, “Battle: Dallas”, or “Battle: New York”?...

More Dollhouse Promos

Even more promos from Joss Whedon’s upcoming Fox show Dollhouse (starring Eliza Dushku as a kick-ass heroine) for you to take a gander at. As far as I can tell, J.J. Abrams’ Fringe is doing pretty well on the network, which bodes well for Whedon’s Dollhouse. What’s not doing so...

Robin and The Graysons Coming to the WB

Yikes. As if dragging Superman’s origins out for the last eight years wasn’t bad enough, the WB is now prepping a TV series based on the early life and times of Robin The Boy Wonder, aka Batman’s sidekick. But wait, it won’t be like any Robin you’ve seen before (which goes...

Blade Runner Sequel in the Works? Not Really.

The knee jerk reaction to the very idea of someone doing a sequel to Ridley Scott’s 1982 seminal piece of sci-fi, “Blade Runner”, is grave concern. After all, you don’t get to be as important a work of fiction as “Blade Runner” because you’re middling; you get...

Braga and Goyer to Flash Forward at ABC

Oooh, now this is an intriguing little concept for a TV show: everyone in the world blacks out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, and during that black out, they all get a mysterious vision of the future that changes their lives, and the world, forever.

Sci-Fi Channel Picks up Warehouse 13 for Series

Okay, so I’ve been hearing about this new show Warehouse 13 for a while now, and I’ve been writing about it, but I have yet to actually see an episode of this thing. From what I’m hearing (they’re calling it a “dramedy” now), it sounds very much like a new, 2008 version...

Introducing the Stargate: Universe Characters…

While Yes, in theory, I think it sucks that they’re canceling Stargate: Atlantis just as it’s getting good, I have to think back to the final few seasons of Stargate: SG1, and it reminds me how stale the show got. But that’s just me; I know a lot of Stargate fans still think those final...

Joseph Gordon Levitt Talks (Lack of) Akira Movie

Earlier this year, the Akira movie was moving at a pretty fast clip. Warner Bros. had snapped up the movie rights for Leonardo DiCaprio’s company to produce (and the Titanic star to possibly star), and word soon after was that the suddenly in demand Joseph Gordon Levitt had nabbed the co-starring...

Fringe Episode 1.02 “Same Old Story” & 1.03 “Ghost Network” Promos

J.J. Abrams’ Fringe was one of the most anticipated shows of 2008, not only because of Abrams’ name attached to it, but because of the sci-fi elements, it was probably expensive as hell to make. So how did it do when it debuted yesterday with a 90-minute pilot? Well, okay, but not great....

Avatar Set Pictures and … Stuff

James Cameron has been pretty stingy with the “Avatar” stuff, except to continually tell us that this thing is going to be better than sliced bread, and you know how great sliced bread is, so it better be really good. But if Cameron feels perfectly alright to go out there and keep telling...
