Doomsday The TV Series?

Neil Marshall’s “Doomsday”, released last year, didn’t exactly set the world on fire. I thought it was fine, and Rhona Mitra was incredibly sexy in the role while still kicking all kinds of ass. So a TV version of the movie? Hey, why not. At least, it’s “official”...

Matt Smith is the Eleventh Doctor Who

This isn’t big news in the States, but it’s pretty big news Across the Pond over in the UK, where they’ve just announced the actor who will be replacing David Tennant as the new Doctor Who in the ongoing TV show. The eleventh version Doctor, I’m told. The actor’s name is...

A 3-Year Old Explains Star Wars

Okay, so this is pretty old stuff and has been floating around the Internet forever, but I wanted to post it here anyway because I haven’t done so previously. It’s someone’s three year old girl explaining the plot of “Star Wars”. The original movie, not those ridiculously...

TV Review: Stargate Atlantis Series Finale, Enemy at the Gate

“Enemy at the Gate”, the final Stargate: Atlantis episode, comes after a pretty strange episode in which we visited a parallel Earth where John Sheppard was a burnt out cop in Vegas chasing a serial killer that, as it turns out, is actually a Wraith soldier stranded on Earth during a failed invasion....

More Eliza Dushku Dollhouse Promos

The facts are, the chances of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse surviving past its first year are slim to none. I just don’t see it happening. Fox seems to have chosen its sci-fi show for 2009, and it’s not Dollhouse. Maybe it was because Fringe came first and scored decent enough numbers for...

First Official Images from Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

I’m still not entirely sold on the title (”Revenge of the Fallen”? That sounds like a bad Clapper commercial), but there’s absolutely nothing else about “Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen” that I’m not looking forward to. I loved the hell out of the first...

Sci-Fi Babe Spotlight: Milla Jovovich

I’m not sure if model turned actress Milla Jovovich ever thought her movie career would be filled with so many sci-fi movies, but sci-fi fans sure are happy that’s how it turned out. Her first big sci-fi role was, of course, Luc Besson’s “The Fifth Element” in 1997. She...

A couple of sci-fi news for ya today before we head off into the Christmas break for the entire week. First up: news from Comingsoon is that Bruce Boxleitner, who starred in the 1982 original alongside Jeff Bridges, is “is currently filming a role” for the sequel. No word on how big a “role”...

Avatar Set: James Cameron and Sam Worthington

The hype surrounding “Avatar”, James Cameron’s first movie in what seems like eons is so huge right now that if the film doesn’t open and shatter every box office record in the known world since the history of time, it might be considered a failure. Just kidding, of course, but...

Judge Dredd Reboot is Coming

What, Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd wasn’t good enough for you guys? You gotta reboot the character for the big screen? Okay, why not. Let’s face it, 1995’s “Judge Dredd” was a major disappointment. A big-budget mega disappointment. Okay, okay, it pretty much stunk up...

Science Kills in Kevin Sorbo’s New Sci-Fi Actioner

Who doesn’t love parallel Earth stories? “What if’s”, “Elseworlds” — whatever you want to call it, it’s always a blast to see established TV shows take the characters we know and twist them around without worrying about the consequences, since this is just...

New Posters and Images From Push

Let’s face it, if you haven’t fantasized about having telekinetic powers and being able to move things with your mind, then you just don’t have any imagination. I think everyone has daydreamed about being able to, say, TK’ing a mug into the back of their boss’s head from...

Frank Miller Closer to Buck Rogers Movie

The last time we heard about Frank Miller (of “Sin City” and “300″ fame) being attached to a big-screen revival of “Buck Rogers”, it was still just a rumor. One of those, “It may happen, it may not” kind of deal. Well guess what, it looks like it’s...

RIP 1932-2008: Majel Barrett-Roddenberry

Sad news today from the world of Trek, as we have learned that Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, wife of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, has passed away at the age of 76 from leukemia. If Gene was the vision behind Star Trek, then surely Majel was the voice of the franchise. Besides providing the...

New Images from Race to Witch Mountain

Now that I know for sure “Race to Witch Mountain” is indeed a sci-fi movie (yes, a kiddie adventure sci-fi movie, but sci-fi nevertheless), here are three more images from the movie, which stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a cabbie who picks up two strange kids with powers being...

Keanu Reeves Talks Cowboy Bebop

If you were one of those people hoping that that news of Keanu Reeves playing Spike Spiegel in a live-action movie version of “Cowboy Bebop” were just rumors, well sorry to disappoint you, because it’s very much true and Reeves says as much to MTV. So what exactly did Reeves have to...

First Look at Bruce Willis in Surrogates

I’ve been interested in Bruce Willis’ sci-fi movie “Surrogates” the first time I heard about it. It doesn’t just star Willis in a familiar action role (Willis + action almost always guarantees an entertaining movie) but it’s being directed by Jonathan Mostow, who last...

Race to Witch Mountain Poster, Trailer

Go figure. I didn’t even know Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s latest movie, “Race to Witch Mountain” was even a sci-fi movie, which is why I never bothered covering it. (Sounds like a kiddie action movie to me when I first heard it. Well, it kinda is that, but then some.)...

Joseph Kosinski’s Tron 2.0 Casting Begins

There was a lot of buzz about Joseph Kosinski’s “Tron 2.0″ at Comic Con this year, and apparently everyone who saw the test footage that Kosinki shot in order to wow the studio was equally wowed by it. Now a couple of things have become clear about the movie, in particular the plot:...

New Knowing Trailer Reveals Whisper People

I have to admit, I wasn’t all that captivated by the previous “Knowing” trailer, despite Alex Proyas’ name attached as director, and the lovely Rose Byrne playing a love interest. Nicolas Cage — eh. But this latest trailer for “Knowing” has my interest sufficiently...
