Q&A with producers of the V remake

Digital Spy have a brief interview with Scott Peters and Jace Hall, the producers sci-fi remake “V”, in which they talk about adapting an older show for a modern audience, the challenge of casting the show, and balancing up character drama with sci-fi action.

It’s reassuring to hear Peters’ remark that “For me, I can only [...]

Five-minute scene from Stargate Universe pilot leaked

I think someone in the Syfy marketing department is going to get their wrists slapped over this one. A five minute clip from the upcoming Syfy show Stargate Universe appeared on YouTube, apparently officially, before hurriedly being deleted. Seems like someone at Syfy released the video prematurely, but sci-fi nerds being what they are, dozens [...]

Leather? Check. Gun? Check. Hot chick? Checkity-check. It's a Dollhouse poster

Another new poster today. This time; Stargate Universe

New Heroes S4 poster reveals nothing, fails to inspire; reflects show perfectly

I’m sorry if that comes off a little harsh. I do still watch Heroes, and occasionally see glimmers of hope, but the quality of the show has deteriorated so, so much from the almost flawless first season. The amount of incredibly schizophrenic characterisation in later seasons (with not just our heroes’ powers randomly changing to [...]

Which Season 2 character is returning to Dexter?

It feels like we’ve been waiting for decades for the next season of Dexter, but happily, the season four premiere is just around the corner on 23rd September. It’s already been fairly heavily publicised that John Lithgow is joining the cast for the upcoming season, but I’ve just heard the news about which character is [...]

Dollhouse S2 coming to the UK sooner than expected

Great news for UK-based Dollhouse fans! Sci-Fi, the channel which airs Dollhouse in the UK, has announced that the second season has been fast-tracked for broadcast from October 20th, meaning the UK will get episodes just three weeks after they first air in the US.

The first episode of S2, rumoured to be titled “Vows”, will [...]
