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...

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...

In case you haven’t heard, Matt Damon’s sci-fi movie “The Adjustment Bureau” is currently shooting with George Nolfi directing, and here are some pics from the set. The film follows an affair between a politician (Damon) and a ballerina (Emily Blunt) and a mysterious force that...

Dreamworks’ Live-Action Ghost in the Shell Gets New Writer

I was enthusiastic when they announced a “Ghost in the Shell” live-action movie, but now, I’m not so sure. Is there even any real reason to remake Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 cyberpunk masterpiece “Ghost in the Shell”? It was perfect. Then you add in the constraints of live-action,...

The New Avatar Trailer Arrives: Do You Still Care?

All that buzz, all that Comic Con gushing, it all went away when the first trailer for James Cameron’s “Avatar” landed online three months ago with quite possibly the biggest THUD in modern cinema. Let’s face it, it was kind of underwhelming. It was overly cartoony and obviously...

Neill Blomkamp Preps his Next Sci-Fi Movie…

…and it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be a sequel to his breakout hit “District 9″. Variety currently has an article on Blomkamp getting a solid commitment from Media Rights Capital to begin work on his next movie, an untitled sci-fi film. If this was a sequel to “District...

The Death of Dollhouse? FOX Doesn’t Appear Optimistic.

Love it or hate it, any show that allows the gorgeous Eliza Dushku to parade around onscreen acting like a slut in service of “story” is a-okay in my book. But apparently not so much for most Americans, because Whedon’s “Dollhouse” continues to struggle in the overnight...

David Duchovny Keen on Another X-Files Movie

Despite poor box office and generally “meh” critical reviews and mostly indifferent moviegoer word of mouth, David Duchovny insists there is still an audience for another “X-Files” movie. The audience is out there, if you will. Ahem. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Duchovny...

Poster Art for Cameron and Fincher’s Heavy Metal

The guys from The Metal Den says they have the first poster art for the upcoming “Heavy Metal” movie, drawn by artist Raymond Swanland. It looks very heavy. And metal. Heavy metal-ish, if you will. Fincher and James Cameron are going to be Co-Executive Producers on the film. The movie will...

Sci-Fi Creature Action vs. Mercs in D4 Teaser Trailer

So, I’ve never heard of Darrin Dickerson, but according to IMDB.com, he’s been around for a while making short films. His feature-length debut is “D4″, and he’s not just the writer/director, but also the star. That sounds like a tad much for a first-time director to have...

Even More Fourth Kind Images

Whenever I see the trailer for Olatunde Osunsanmi’s “The Fourth Kind”, I always expect star Milla Jovovich to start jumping up and kung fu-kicking the aliens in the head or shooting up the joint. Anyways, even more images from “The Fourth Kind”. In 1972, a scale of measurement...

Michael Shanks and the Justice Society to Visit Smallville

You know, I really should start to watch “Smallville” more. This show, along with “Supernatural” are pretty much the only decent shows on the entire CW network, and I should start supporting it more than I have been. In any case, it looks like the superhero biz is going to get...

David Goyer Takes Over as Showrunner of FlashForward

I gotta admit, I’m digging ABC’s “FlashForward” a lot more than I thought I would. Sure, it’s still a bit uncomfortable to see Harold of “Harold and Kumar” fame running around with a gun and coming across like a kid playing cops and robbers, but the show just...

New Creepy Pics from Milla Jovovich’s The Fourth Kind

I gotta admit, when I first saw the trailer for Milla Jovovich’s “The Fourth Kind” I wasn’t really impressed, but the more I see of it, the more creepy this thing looks. Here are some more images from the movie, due out in theaters November 6, 2009. If it can get 1/10th the publicity...

Legend of the Seeker Season 2 Promos

I’m not entirely sure what “Legend of the Seeker’s” second season will be all about, but it seems to feature lots of scenes with Charisma Carpenter and other lovely ladies wearing skintight red outfits (and even one girl-on-girl smooch!). That’s, you know, kinda hot. Season...

Stargate: Universe 1.05 Light Promos

It looks like things are not going well for our “Stargate: Universe” crew. After last week’s slingshot-gone-awry episode, they’re now headed right into the sun. Oops. Here are promos for this week’s episode, “Light”. So, besides the prospect of everyone dying,...

Adrian Paul vs. Robotic Eye Killing Machine Whatchamacallits

They can see you — and they can kill you! Now doesn’t that sound better than the movie’s official tagline: “Your Government is Watching Out For You”? I think so. But then again, I’m typing this while eating a taco, so who cares, right? Take a look at “Eyeborgs”...

Latest V Poster Teases with Anna

The latest poster for ABC’s new “V” show shows off a side of Anna (played by Morena Baccarin) that is, shall we say, a tad reptilian. The show will air as a four-hour mini-series event on November 3, 2009, before turning as a series in March 2010. Or at least, that’s the current...

BSG’s Grace Park and Tricia Helfer in Maxim Magazine

Yowsers. Why did they cancel “Battlestar Galactica” again? I’m not sure, but someone’s got some ’splainin’ to do. Until then, here’s Tricia Helfer and Grace Park reminding you why there were some pretty awesomely good times on the Galactica before it all went...
