Jeremy: It’s got to be a shame to have a dream project, almost get it completed, and have the company that is backing it swoop in at the last minute and ruin it. So goes the case of ‘Babylon A.D.’. Mathieu Kassovitz (’The Crimson Rivers’, ‘Gothika’) had been working on adapting the French novel, Babylon Babies, [...] [...more]
This has been a film in the making that I personally have been eagerly awaiting. Not the movie itself (although it looks really good) but simply that it’s the next film from director Alex Proyas. Watch the teaser trailer, then read below to learn about the tech-connection the film has with a hot new camera [...] [...more]
I am a big fan of ‘Pitch Black’ and consider it one of the more enjoyable and successful sci-fi/action movies to date. I am not, however, quite as big a fan of ‘The Chronicles of Riddick’. With that said, I find myself with mixed feelings regarding this recycled news about Vin Diesel and his rekindled [...] [...more]
Writer Steven Moffat spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of making a feature film that would tie into the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series.

The popular experimental band The Flaming Lips have a new sci-fi movie, inspired by the holiday season… sort of? Watching this trailer, I though to myself… “hey, this looks really cool, in an Ed Wood meets Guy Maddin sort of way.” Avant garde experimentation combined with the music and style of The Flaming Lips with [...] [...more]

This will be Proyas’ next project, receiving a budget of between $40-50 million, which he will begin working on once he finishes ‘Knowing’, his current film [...] [...more]
Nothing super special, but still… two new posters for the coming sequel, ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen’. The torso shot poster of Optimus Prime is kinda nice. The other, darker head-shot poster of Optimus has a curiously “darker” tone to it… sort of makes you wonder a little about what his role in the next [...] [...more]
Two brave producers, Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne (founders of the now gone New Line), are considering a sci-fi movie project to rival them all. They want to pursue making sci-fi legend Issac Asimov’s “Foundation” into a movie. The concept has been circulating in Hollywood circles for a few years, but now it seems to [...] [...more]
DreamWorks Animations CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg has apparently said that George Lucas will re-release the Star Wars films in 3D! Now I am a Star Wars geek so this is pretty neat. In spite of my geeky-ness I am a little tired of all the re-releases and edits he has made in the past. I already [...] [...more]
Ram Man: It has been 6 years since Chris carter’s hit show “The X Files has been on television.

I enjoy feature-length anime and make an effort to catch them when I can, but we in the US have a slight deficiency in availability of much of what’s available out there, especially if you’re on the lower rung of knowledge when it comes to Japanese animation, like myself. Regardless, some of the more “heavily” [...] [...more]
Here are the new poster for the upcoming animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars film opening August 15th at theaters everywhere. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are featured animated on both backed up by Clone troops and Jedi. Nice art work… I can’t wait to see the film! [...more]
watch it while you can … [...more]
I’ve already basically written off the remake of ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ as a failure (I’ll let you know for sure once I’ve seen it), with Keanu Reeves starring and the fact that it’s a remake of a classic well-made sci-fi film to boot. After seeing the first trailer, I’m that much more [...] [...more]
Here’s a first look at the trailer for 20th Century Fox’s ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly… It’s the story of the arrival of an alien, Klaatu, which causes a worldwide panic. I’m actually excited for this “reimagination”. The sci-fi thriller opens December 12th. Is “whoa” too much?? [...more]

Have a gander at the teaser banner/poster for 20th Century Fox’s The Day the Earth Stood Still. We should get a first look at the movie with some sort of teaser that will be attached to Hancock this July 4th weekend.
