BSG’s 12th and Final Cylon Revealed. Sort of.

Although I’m not a very big fan of Battlestar Galactica, I gotta give the show all the props it can handle, if just for bringing science fiction back to the lips of mainstream audiences. Of course, if you’ve watched the new BSG at all, you probably realized this is less a sci-fi show than...

First Teaser Trailer for the Astroboy CGI Movie

I’ve never actually seen any of the Astroboy cartoons or read the mangas, so I can’t tell you if this English version of the Astroboy character (or what little we see of it in this very short teaser trailer) bears any resemblance to the original character. What I do know is that, well, this...

Three More Reasons to Watch Dollhouse

Eliza Dushku in tight black leather pants. Okay, so maybe that’s more than three reasons (I’m not good at counting), but you gotta admit, Eliza Dushku in tight black leather pants is a pretty good reason to do just about anything, especially when it comes to something as easy as watching...

Preview: Sam Rockwell in Moon

Science fiction movies about isolated individuals who begin to experience things that may or may not actually be happening is nothing new, but no other genre does it better than sci-fi, which has the added benefit of the vastness of space as its background.

Behind the Scenes of Sanctuary’s Green Screen World

I hope the Sci Fi Channel’s Sanctuary lasts for a while. I really like the idea behind the movie, and the fact that the whole thing is pretty much shot on a sound stage in front of a green screen is kinda cool, too. Plus, it has Amanda Tapping, and I’ve always had the biggest crush on her....

New Full-Length Star Trek 11 Trailer

According to published reports, J.J. Abrams is not exactly a big fan of the Star Trek franchise. I think the director has even admitted that he doesn’t plan on making his Trek reboot movie conform to what we already know about the characters. Which may explain why the first 30 seconds or so of...

Sci Fi Greenlights Second Season of Sanctuary

The good thing about being an off-network TV show is that people tend to give you second and in some cases, even third chances. Now I don’t know if the new Amanda Tapping show Sanctuary has managed to maintain its high ratings from its premiere episode, but the Sci Fi Channel has enough faith in...

Oh Thank God.

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,...

Sci-Fi Trailer: Monsters vs. Aliens
