My significant spouse and I are debating whether to go to “2012″. I, naturally, am firmly in the “Yup” camp as destruction of this quality and scope comes perhaps once in a Sci-Fi movie going lifetime. The spouse unit thinks that maybe the movie could be depressing and perhaps a “cryer”. A sobbing wife in public is a troubling thing, fraught with hormonal minefields with plenty of room for stupid husbandy fumblings. So, I may go alone and make it a reporters outing. I’m with you Roland!

The Cast Of Roland Emmerich’s 2012 Wax On about the Return Of Quetzalcoatl!
Robert Rodriquez Moves On From The Jetsons
Robert Rodriquez has apparently found other shiny little movie trinkets to capture his eye and has left the remake of the 60′s Sci-Fi cartoon “The Jetsons” to other interested parties. And it seems that the interested party is Peter Segal, the director of “Get Smart” and “Tommy Boy”.
Tim Tyler’s ‘Engine’ – Thrust is a Must!
I have this persistent dream, it goes like this: I’m in the comic book shop hunting through the millions and millions of comics that are stacked EVERYWHERE but I just can’t seem to find what I’m looking for….not that I don’t want everything I see but I can’t find something I haven’t seen before. Then in a mild fit of anger I go to the counter and ask for something new, something original something FRESH…..like the stuff I keep seeing all over the Internet, you know like a Digital Comic? As you can guess the dream ends rather violently.
Trailer For Stephen King’s Under The Dome
Stephen King isn’t a good Sci-Fi writer, he’s a great Sci-Fi writer. In what I’m hoping will be a fantastic return to his epic and massive early “The Stand” period, we will soon be enjoying “Under The Dome”, a story of a small Maine town that gets bubbled by forces unknown.
Denis Leary To Bring The World Of Gattaca To Television
Denis Leary is good, but I wouldn’t have thought that Sci-Fi was his kind of thing. Maybe he just loves a good idea. The awesome world of a genetic caste society described in the awesome “Gattaca” starring Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman is on the way to T.V.
Stargate Universe Recap 1.06: Water
As I have been dutifully preparing to write this weeks episode recap of SGU, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of a particular moment or event in the story to launch from. Did anything really happen at all in “Water”? I don’t think so. The episode didn’t exactly tank. It wasn’t horrible. It just seemed like, narratively speaking, the show was just ah, treading water. Television shows have a proud history of doing this, usually for the purposes of setting us up for some important future development. I’m really not sure what that important development could be here.
Kurt Russell As Hans Solo In Star Wars Audition
Lots of famous folks were up for the part of Hans Solo in “Star Wars”. Thankfully, Harrison Ford came away with the job. Besides Harrison, actors like Nick Nolte, Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson and even Steve Martin were considered for the part.
Quick Promo for Lost’s Final Season 6
ABC has put out a quickie promo for the upcoming final season of their hit show “Lost”, which is set to begin and end its original TV run in 2010. As far as I can tell, there are no new footages, just old ones from the previous five, including the Kate-Sawyer cage match. Nice of them to include that one, though I’m not sure why. Also, Jack still looks like a total dork.
Is It Official? Will Tom Hardy And Charlize Theron Star In Mad Max: Fury Road?
We reported on the rumour and now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the star of “RockNRolla”, “Bronson” and a ton of other things, Tom Hardy and everyones favorite charity auctioneer Charlize Theron (The Road), are in negotiations to play the major parts in writer-director George Miller’s return to the sand blasted, petrol scarce world of muscle cars, speed freaks and gyro-copters.
Men in Black 3 is Defintely Moving Forward
We’ve known that Sony wants to make another “Men in Black” movie since April, but we haven’t really heard anything concrete about the movie since. That change today, with word that Sony has already hired “Tropic Thunder” writer Etan Cohen to pen the sequel and that he’s already deep into his draft, and that director Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed the franchise’s first two movies, is already attached to return.
Ridley Scott Talks Alien Prequel Plot
Ridley Scott is looking forward to doing an “Alien” sequel. Or, er, prequel. Speaking to Empire, the director gives out a little bit more detail about the setting for his “Alien” movie, which he has boarded to direct after 20th Century Fox bulked at having someone else take over the reigns.
SyFy Greenlights American Version of Being Human
Sure, the BBC original show “Being Human” might have been good, even great, but it’s, you know, got them funny accents, and who wants to deal with that? As a result, the SyFy Channel has just greenlit a 13-episode order for an American version of the supernatural UK show.
ABC Gets Smart About Terrorizing New Yorkers And Celebrates With A “V” Music Video
ABC was going to advertise the upcoming premiere of their re-booted, re-imagined, lizard loving Sci-Fi epic “V”, with big ass red Vs cunningly displayed over major New York and Washington landmarks. That is until someone re-thought this idea, or maybe perhaps thought at all.
Video Behind The Scenes Look Of Avatar
Good old Nix just posted the international trailer for you and I’ll add this cool behind the scenes view of how “Avatar” was first imagined and then brought to the screen.
Nathan Fillion’s Firefly Tribute on Castle
In case you missed it, “Firefly” fans (oh yeah right what are the chances of that?), here’s the opening scene from a recent episode of Nathan Fillion’s crime show “Castle” on ABC, which co-stars the oh-so-lovely Stana Katic. The episode was a Halloween-themed episode, and featured Fillion, the male star of the show, dressing up in his old “Firefly” uniform during the opening seconds.
