McG Talks Bale, Arnold And Why Michael Ironside Is The Real John Connor

We finally got to see Michael Ironside go toe-to-toe with Christian Bale when McG stopped by NYCC to show a Terminator: Salvation sizzle reel while dropping some major Original Terminator cameo hints. First, lets talk the sizzle reel. What we saw was clips and cuts mostly from the roadshow that we reported on a few…

Surrogates Trailer = John McClane + Robots

Comic Con attendees got a peek at Disney’s Surrogates, and if the trailer is anything to go by, it’ll be chock-full of trademark Bruce Willis explodey-ness and Matrix-style jump-fighting, if not anything thematically groundbreaking. In the movie, Willis plays a cop (surprise!) living in a near-future utopia that is actually more of a dystopia (surprise!),…

X-Files Director Promises 7-Foot-Tall Penis in New Film

There was plenty of excitement to go around at the Alien Trespass panel, as producers talked tentacles, defended goo, and even got Robert Patrick and Eric McCormack to access their silly sides. What’s the best part of classic black-and-white sci-fi movies from the ’50s? According to R.K. Goodwin, who served as an executive producer for…

Yatterman Is Live-Action Anime Done Brashly And Brilliantly

The new movie from maverick director Takashi Miike is a candy-colored confection with wickedly funny twists, non-stop action and tongue planted firmly in cheek. Did I mention the tit-shaped cannons? I’d been relatively unexposed to the original Yatterman, a late-’70s anime about two teenagers who use technology and ingenuity to fight bumbling evil-doers, with help…

Futurama Wanders Yonder With Classic DVD Finale

Last night, we had a sweet tryst with the Planet Express gang. NYCC screened the fourth direct-to-DVD movie Into The Wild Green Yonder for hundreds of Futurama fanatics. Watching “Into the Wild Green Yonder,” the fourth and final installment in Futurama’s mostly excellent series of direct-to-DVD releases, I was reminded of a Simpsons commentary (or…

We’ve Seen Rorschach’s Face! Plus, Gibbons Talks Watchmen 2

Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons popped by with new exclusive footage. And even though Gibbons joked with the eager crowd that the new footage was “not a squid,” it was possibly just as exciting. Spoilers. First, we were shown the first 18 minutes, which io9 has luckily seen before and wrote about in great detail earlier……

The Most Famous Building In Science Fiction

Click to viewThere’s one building in Los Angeles that screams “retro-futuristic gothic,” and it was built in 1893. The Bradbury Building featured heavily in Blade Runner, but it’s starred in tons of other stories. Here’s a list. We already toured the Bradbury Building back in 2007, as part of the closing ceremonies of the Jules…

Is Science Fiction Creating A New Religion?

“The culture-shaping force of science fiction storytellers may be more significant and more widespread than we imagine. That’s because they trade in myth. By myth, I mean a transcendent story that helps us make sense of our place in the cosmos. This common definition makes the Christian gospel, as C. S. Lewis suggested, “God’s myth”-not…

Could Push Change The Future Of Superhero Movies?

Push, opening today, is a crash course in how to do a cheerfully nonsensical action-adventure fantasy without winking at the audience or getting too cute. It feels revolutionary because it’s so old-school. Mild spoilers. In Push, Chris Evans (Fantastic Four) plays Nick, a ne’er-do-well telekinetic “Mover” hiding out from a secret government agency called Division.…

Donnie Darko Trades Jake Gyllenhaal For Sexy Mer-Sisters

Art from the new Donnie Darko sequel (titled S. Darko) is being time-warped into our faces here at NYCC. The next film follows Donnie’s sister. (Remember her on the trampoline, with the sparkle motion?) The new art shows more of the all-growed-up Samantha Darko, who wants to “make it big” in Hollywood, or somewhere. Sam…

Goku And Piccolo Dance It Out In New Dragaonball Evolution Trailer

Goku and Piccolo make with the dance-fighting in the latest – and most over-the-top – Dragonball Evolution trailer. Does it not look like the two enemies are skating a top a large mountain, hand in hand? Especially when the finishing moves for each Kamehameha end in a dance-like “You’ve been served” kind of pose. Dragonball…

Fanboys Delivers the Best of Geekdom – and the Worst

Fanboys, a bittersweet comedy about five friends searching for the meaning of life in Star Wars, is an uneven tribute to the bonds that make scifi fans a community rather than just a marketing niche.
