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. The premise...

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. So instead producers...

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. James Cameron claims he had a dream where the planet, setting, characters and story came to him and I’ll...

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,...

Smallville Producer Hoping for a Season 10

After hearing about a couple of intriguing upcoming guest appearances on the CW’s “Smallville”, I made it a point to DVR the show. Unfortunately the first episode of Season 9 that I really watched was the Green Arrow episode where he went through a cheapie TV version of David Fincher’s...

Three Clips from Milla Jovovich’s The Fourth Kind

Milla Jovovich’s upcoming thriller “The Fourth Kind” continues to convince me this thing is more horror than sci-fi. Or actually, it’s a horror movie with a sci-fi setting, ala the original “Alien”. Minus, you know, acid-spewing aliens. At least, I think those guys...

See Wimpy Masked Klingons In The Star Trek Deleted Scene

Here’s the scene in “Star Trek” where tragic villain Nero is tortured with a brain bug by a masked Klingon dude with a sensitive side. If this is the future of my favorite aliens I don’t like it. There ’s a lack of menace and warrior spirit in the masked guy about to insert...

Paranormal Activity’s Oren Peli Selling Sci-Fi Thriller Area 51

After striking the Hollywood equivalent of gold, you’d think that director Oren Peli’s next movie, a sci-fi thriller called “Area 51″, would be the subject of an intense bidding war by the major studios, including Paramount, the company that is making a mint off Peli’s little...

TV Review: Caprica – Pilot

“If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is.” – Hannibal Lecktor, Manhunter Fans, just like any other collective, are a fickle bunch. So passionate were fans of the original Battlestar Galactica that blood might have literally boiled when word spread in 2003 of a “re-imagined”...

It was inevitable. “Short Circuit”, the story about a robot made by the military to kill, kill, kill, but who, after getting struck by lightning, just wanted to love, love, love, is getting a re-do. The original “Short Circuit” starred Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg and Fisher...

Three New TV Spots For 2012

Here we go with the inevitable onslaught of preview videos for the Nov 13th release of “2012″. No Woody Harrelson in evidence so we have a low humour to depressing disaster ratio. As 2012 the date and not “2012″ the movie approaches, I’m noticing people are getting a little...

Is This Klingon Propaganda Film A Viral For Trek 2?

I’m thinking it’s a bit early in the development process for J.J. Abrams and his conspirators to be this sure of a storyline but you never know. Rebooted Klingons will still kick your sorry ass. Though uncertain of it’s origins, this fiendishly wicked Klingon propaganda film recalls...

The Fourth Kind Gives Us A Better Look With A Paranoid Featurette

This “Featurette” is more of a background documentary than in movie footage, but kind of gives you some background into the kind of rampant paranoia necessary to get you in the mood to go see “The Fourth Kind” starring Milla Jovovich. It’s looking like a kind of horror Sci-Fi...

Preview The First 7 Minutes Of ABC’S V

Now that Flash Forward is causing me some intestinal discomfort, I will turn my attentions to the next big network Sci-Fi effort called “V”. You probably know the story by now. It’s a re-imaging of the 80’s camp fest where mammal nibbling lizard people, clad in human skin, clamp...

Stargate Universe Recap 1.05: Light

Amidst the early episode cheese, boobs and startup fumbling in “Stargate Universe”, I detected faint traces of fascinating Sci-Fi possibilities. In the 5th episode of SGU, I think we finally have what we’ve been waiting for. I’ve never watched Stargate before as a television series,...
