Gerard Butler’s Game Is Tron 2.0

Directors Brian Neveldine and Mark Taylor brought the hyperactive film Crank to theaters last year, and now they’re hard at work on Game with 300’s Gerard Butler.

LEXX Creator Resurrects Jesus’ Evil Twin Brother

Robert Sigl, co-creator of the bizarre Canadian scifi show LEXX (seen above), announced today that he’s directing a new movie that will resurrect Jesus’ evil twin brother in the present day. What, you didn’t know that Jesus had an evil twin brother? It’s probably left out of most New Testament translations. Sigl’s new film, The…

Journeyman Coming To A Premature End

NBC’s time-traveling drama Journeyman will be journeying to a very abrupt series end with episode 12, set to air in either December or January. Too bad he couldn’t hop back in time and fix the writer’s strike before it started.

New Pix From The Incredible Hulk Reveal… Ed Norton In A Red Hoodie

Ed Norton wears a red hoodie in these new pictures from the set of The Incredible Hulk in Rio De Janeiro. While we haven’t seen the big green machine much from this film, it’s an interesting twist on the red hulk / green hulk ploy from Marvel. http://io9.com/scifi/hulk/you-may-not-like-him-when-hes-angry-but-what-about-when-hes—-red-322991.php

Take A Trip To New Caprica In Vancouver

Visitors to Vancouver can now join a tour group that takes them across the city’s Battlestar Galactica filming locations. You can bet that a trip up to the Great White North will be a lot cheaper than finding something with faster-than-light drives on it.

The Mist’s Brutal, Controversial Ending

The Mist hit theaters Wednesday, and it’s been widely circulated that director Frank Darabont’s ending in the movie differed vastly from Stephen King’s ending to the novella it’s based on. But King loves the new ending so much that he opined: It is the most shocking ending ever and there should be a law passed…

Stephen King’s The Mist Remains Hazy

By now you’ve probably seen the trailer a hundred times where a bleeding man comes stumbling into a grocery store screaming, “There’s something in the mist!” The same guy could have stumbled onto a boat in Jaws and said, “There’s something in the water!” So yes, The Mist isn’t exactly breaking into new territory plot-wise:…

John Singleton To Direct Alienz n the Hood

Boyz n the Hood director John Singleton is set to direct his first science fiction film, Executive Order. It’s typical alien-invasion fare, with a plane crash unleashing a space monster that terrorizes a snowbound small town. Still, Singleton’s got the violent-action chops to make it work: his remake of Shaft may have bombed at the…

Gay Cylons Can Be Your Allies And Friends

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation will be running a public service announcement featuring Jamie “Apollo” Bamber, using his real-life British accent, during this Saturday’s Battlestar Galactica: Razor.

Watchmen Comic-Within-A-Comic Becomes Its Own Movie

The movie version of Alan Moore’s classic dysfunctional superhero comic book Watchmen continues to move forward, although one key element might be coming to your DVD player before the film comes out.

Death Race 2000 Remake Has No Balls

A remake of the 1975 cult classic that inspired Grand Theft Auto, Death Race 2000, is on the way next year. But this version has all the testosterone drained out. Gone are the point systems for running over pedestrians, gone is the entire revenge plot that had David Carradine after the President, and gone is…

What Mutant Powers Are Most Popular?

NBC’s phenom hit Heroes, the X-Men comic books, and the USA scifi series The 4400 all feature heroic mutants. These super-powered humans have been born with “mutant genes,” or they’ve had some tinkering at the genetic level. But we still see the same powers cropping up again and again. Since the X-Men were first published…

Twelve New Cloverfield Images Test the Limits of Teaser Campaigns

Twelve new images from the upcoming monster film Cloverfield have been released online. But just like the new trailer, they sadly don’t reveal anything new about the J.J. Abrams-produced thriller.
