So, Entertainment Weekly has your first look at the U.S.S Enterprise as envisioned by J.J. Abrams and company for their upcoming Trek reboot, Trek 11, which finds the familiar Enterprise crew in their younger, more carefree days.

The New Knight Rider Reboots — Again

Wait, what? Wasn’t this new Knight Rider show already a reboot of the ’80s original? Yes, but they’re going to reboot the reboot anyway. You read that correctly: NBC and new show runner Gary Scott Thompson has decided to reboot the reboot TV show. He’ll accomplish this task by...

There is a God: The Graysons is D.O.A.

Oh Thank God. Someone came to their senses and decided not to go through with the proposed The Graysons TV series, the show that was going to go all Smallville on Batman’s sidekick, Dick Grayson, aka Robin. The proposed show was supposed to replace Smallville once that aging show went off the CW...

Script Review of the Akira Live-Action Movie

I await the Leonardo DiCaprio-produced live-action version of “Akira” with equal bated breath and horror. A part of me is dying to see the anime (I’ve never read the manga) be translated into live-action, with living, breathing people and millions of Hollywood dollars thrown at the...

More on JMS’ Forbidden Planet Remake

J. Michael Straczynski doing anything involving science fiction is always worth taking note of in my book. His latest stab, as we reported previously, is writing a screenplay for a remake of the sci-fi classic “Forbidden Planet”. Now as it turns out, JMS might not be really writing a remake,...

FOX Dooms Dollhouse and Terminator to Friday Nights in 2009

I mentioned this before when I posted the latest trailer for Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, but it deserves another post of its own: the FOX network has decided to schedule Dollhouse on Friday nights along with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for their Spring 2009 line-up. Now, at first this...

New Dollhouse Promo

Haven’t heard much about Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse lately? Well besides the rumor (since confirmed) that Whedon has tossed out the original pilot for the show, and is now shooting a new pilot, I mean. Anyways, while we wait to see Eliza Dushku kick ass and look hot on the small screen once...

Sci-Fi Trailer: Monsters vs. Aliens

I’ll be damn if the new Dreamsworks CGI flick “Monsters vs. Aliens” doesn’t look like it has all the makings of another major international hit for the company. I’ve always thought that “The Incredibles” by Pixar was one of the best CGI movies I’ve seen,...

Major Transformers 2 SPOILER: She’s a Pretender!

Now I don’t know if this is true or not, but the people over at TFW2005 says it’s true, and says that they’ve confirmed it, and being that they’re the premiere authority on all things Transformers at the movies, I’m going to go with the assumption that it’s true, but...

Great Moments in Slave Princess Leia Costuming: Kristen Bell in Fanboys

As a sci-fi fan, there are some great moments in science fiction that makes me sit up and take notice, and remember for years to come. One of those times is when Carrie Fisher suddenly showed up as the prisoner of Jabba the Hut in “Return of the Jedi”. Of course, it wasn’t just Carrie...

Babylon 5’s Straczynski to Write Forbidden Planet Movie

If you saw Clint Eastwood’s “Changeling” and didn’t glance at the credits, I doubt you would know that J. Michael Straczynski, creator of the sci-fi opus Babylon 5, was the screenwriter of that movie. But that’s JMS for ya — the man is an incredibly flexible writer,...

David Tennant Confirms Leaving Doctor Who

I’m not the biggest fan of Doctor Who out there, but I have seen an episode here and there, and from what I’ve seen, I’ve liked. The show’s got that strange, British rhythm about it that just screams “this is NOT an American sci-fi show!” It’s kinda nice to see...

Fascist Alien Environmentalists Attack in New Day the Earth Stood Still Remake 5-Minute Trailer

Behold, the wonders of a wooden Keanu Reeves as he plays the role he was born to play — an alien humanoid devoid of personality! Marvel at the crappiness of a totally CGI Gort as he shoots laser beams out of his cyclop eye at attacking fighter jets! Wonder at the inherent fascism of alien beings...

Stargate Producer in Denial, Says Universe Isn’t 90210

Apparently Stargate producer Joseph Mallozzi has been hearing the not-so-pleasing rumblings that his new Stargate show, Universe, is little more than an odious attempt by the suits to “young up” their aging franchise. I’ve gone on record calling this a poor attempt at going the youth...

The Day the Earth Stood — er, I mean Stopped

Oh, those rascals at The Asylum. If you don’t know who The Asylum are, then you’ve probably never seen one of their rip-off movies like “Transmorphers”, “Snakes on a Train”, “100 Million BC”, or “The Da Vinci Treasure”. Basically, the Asylum’s...

Concept Art for Stargate Universe’s Ship

Will Stargate: Universe be the Star Trek: Voyager of the Stargate universe? Time will tell, although taking into consideration the age of the characters that are currently being cast for the show, I’m getting this sinking feeling they’re going the Stargate 90210 route with this one. We already...

Sci Fi Channel Spins Off Ghost Hunters: College Edition

They’re not just plumbers, they’re also ghost hunters! Okay, I have to admit, that premise sold me on the Sci Fi Channel’s Ghost Hunters TV show when it first premiered a few years back. On the show, two plumbers name Jay and Grant go to supposedly haunted locales and try to catch ghosts...
