New Judge Dredd Movie Getting Danny Boyle Treatment?

The 1995 Judge Dredd movie may have failed to please fans of the justice-dispensing, motorcycle-riding Megacity One lawman. But that hasn’t stopped the movie biz from trying again… this time with British producers. I’m in a tiny minority of people who enjoyed the Stallone film as an example of shlock cinema at its finest, without…

Who’s Really The Greatest SF Director Working Today?

We caused some consternation last week when we said Danny Boyle might be the most gifted director currently working in science fiction. So it’s time to settle the issue. Who’s really the greatest and most talented director creating science fiction movies today? Note: We didn’t include any directors who haven’t worked in the genre this…

Danny Boyle Tells io9 About Renouncing Space Opera

Click to viewDanny Boyle may be the most gifted director working in science fiction today. Like Ridley Scott, he’s made a number of non-SF films, but his contributions to the genre have stood out among its best works. We had a chance to sit down with Boyle and talk about how his new film, the…

28 Months Later, Are Those “Zombies” Still Running Around London?

Sounds like the rage virus still hasn’t been disinfected from our lives just yet. Director of 28 Days Later and producer of the sequel 28 Weeks Later, Danny Boyle is toying with our heart strings by vaguely talking about the possibility of yet another outbreak of the rage virus. And he may actually direct, this…

Battle of the Genitals in Science Horror Movies

Critics are always saying that horror movies are about fearing vaginas, but they’re wrong. Sure there’s vadge imagery aplenty in horror (just watch the run of Alien movies if you don’t believe me), but the scariest science horror flicks of the last thirty years are actually about everything that can go wrong with a dude.…

Sunshine Should Be Burning Up the Oscars

The Academy’s shortlist for visual effects awards hit the web yesterday, and Sunshine isn’t anywhere to be found. If you want to see why this is such a travesty, then head out and pick up a copy on DVD today. We know all of you didn’t see it, and it flew under the radar for…

Bad Science Looks Killer In “Sunshine”

We can’t wait for Danny Boyle’s Sunshine to come out on DVD next Tuesday. Sunshine might have been the best SF movie of 2007, even though its science was iffy in places. Take this cool-looking scene, where hapless communications officer Harvey tries to jump from one spaceship to another without a suit and doesn’t quite…

USA Today Can’t See The Sunshine

Claudia Puig over at USA Today gets it wrong, yet again. The film critic has posted an article called “Dark themes shine a beacon of light at the theater” which is supposed to be about how depressing flicks were big at the box office, but it quickly devolves into nothing more than a list of…

Sunshine’s Realistic, Biospheric Spaceship

Just a few more weeks until January 8, the day Sunshine DVDs hit stateside. This flick is director Danny Boyle’s space opera about a ship called the Icarus II whose destiny is to plunge into the heart of the sun and “relight” it. OK, dorky science premise aside, this is a seriously awesome show from…

Psychedelic Dante 01 Trailer — Gorgeous But Familiar

Marc Caro, probably best known from his collaborative directing with Jean Pierre Jeunet on such films like The City Of Lost Children and Delicatessen, has a new scifi film coming out called Dante 01. It combines the visual look of THX 1138, Aliens (especially the third entry in that series), and even Danny Boyle’s underrated…

Must See: 28 Days Later

Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn’t be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That’s why we’ve rated them 1-5 on the patented “crunchy goodness” scale. Title: 28 Days Later Date: 2002 Vitals: Animal rights activists release monkeys infected with a virus called Rage that quickly converts all of England into drooling, zombified…
