Simon Hunter’s adaptation of the board game “The Mutant Chronicles”, described as a “steampunk science fiction and horror film” began over a year ago, but the production has been very quiet for the longest time. The official site was also put up, but aside from a couple of production diary videos on the teaser that they did before the actual start of movie production, there hasn’t been a whole lot there. Recently, a new Russian poster for the movie has arrived online, and we’ve decided to do a preview of the movie.
Well slap me silly and call me Granny! We’ve heard rumors of a re-release of the “Dark City” DVD, a Director’s Cut that would add additional minutes and improved special effects, for a while now. Recently, the film’s writer David Goyer even talked about a theatrical re-release with the new version (read that 
Three new “X-Files 2″ images have surfaced on the Internet. Some are official stills that FOX has released and some may not be — I really have no idea, since the “X-Files 2″ movie has been so closely guarded, to the point of being detrimental to the film in my opinion. To be honest with you, I don’t know why they’re playing so hard to get, especially for a movie based on a TV show that many people stopped watching a long time ago.
Vin Diesel’s latest stab at sci-fi greatness is the French actioner “Babylon A.D.”, which is being directed by “Gothika’s” Mathieu Kassovitz. The film has been in production for quite a while, and there were recent rumors that FOX was pressuring Kassovitz to cut out a good portion of the finished film for faster pacing, a charge that the studio has denied, and now seems to have backed away from. Here’s our preview of “Babylon A.D.”, including new movie images that were recently released by FOX.
Ah, Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game”. What sci-fi geek hasn’t read the novel while growing up? I know I did, and I barely knew how to read when I picked up a copy of the novel. As a result of having read the novel as a kid, I’m not sure how I feel about making a movie out of it. Could it work? Should they even try? Well they’re trying, and have been, but no one in Hollywood has managed to get the movie actually made, which may be a good or a bad thing depending on your point of view. And now, the latest news is that attached director Wolfgang Peterson has “moved on” from the project.
It’s been less than two weeks since I reported on an upcoming new sci-fi movie about aliens invading L.A., and U.S. soldiers having to fight them on the streets, then someone has located the script and has reviewed it. In a word, it sucks. Really, really sucks, apparently. Now I don’t know if I was really expecting a whole lot, but the review is incredibly negative. But on the plus side, the reviewer does give us more information on what the movie is about, and some of the main characters that we’ll be following in this, what I like to call, “Blackhawk War of the Worlds”.
Three new images from George Lucas’ “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” movie, set for release in late 2008, have arrived online via Empire Magazine. The images look cool, but Empire has gotten their bloody logo and magazine cover all over them, but hey, it’s new and they’ve got them, so we’ll have to deal with it for now. I’ll post better versions when they become available. Check them out below.
Wow, isn’t this ironic? Chris Carter and the “X-Files 2″ guys have been working overtime trying to fool and mislead movie sites about the plot of their movie, going so far as to hide the title until two days ago, and what happens? The entire plot of the movie is revealed via the back cover of the upcoming “X-Files 2″ book novelization! See, Chris? This is what you get when you try to be too clever by a half, my son. To be honest with you, I don’t know why they’re keeping the plot under such wraps. What, Ma and Pa Joblo is supposed to walk into the theater without knowing anything about the plot? That’s asking for a box office disappointment right there.
I swear, I’m not trying to turn the site into a pseudo Dollhouse fansite, but it just so happens that Joss Whedon has been great about releasing information about his new show on FOX, and as a sci-fi blogger, I wanna thank you for not being stingy like a lot of other creators out there. According to Whedon’s main fansite, Whedonesque, comes news that former Whedon angel Amy Acker (pictured, left), along with Miracle Laurie, has joined the cast of Dollhouse! And yes, I am very excited about this. 
Chris Carter has finally decided to stop playing coy with “The X-Files 2″ and has revealed the sequel’s title: “X-Files 2: I Want to Believe”. Yes, that’s the actual title. It’s not April Fools day or anything, although I wish it were. Seriously, “I Want to Believe”? You’ve got to be kidding me, Chris Carter. According to The Associated Press, “Distributor 20th Century Fox signed off on the title Wednesday,” and Carter officially revealed it to the AP.
