We’ve got quite a lot of information on the new Torchwood. The first episode is Miracle Day and we’ve even got a list of actors and characters (spoilers). Thanks to Who-watcher Alun Vega we also get photographs from the Cardiff set now and then. Check out Barrowman as Captain Jack and our favourite friendly PC […]

Golf Now – part of an anti superhero backlash?
Hmm. Not sure what’s going on with American TV ads or advertising agencies but there seems to be a bit of a superhero blacklash going on. Just a few weeks ago we had DirecTV poking superheroic fun and now Evolution Bureau are doing something very similar for their client Golf Now. Does anyone with any […]
One Earth: Syfy and Trion in first TVMMO
Syfy and Trion will be working together to produce a collaborative TV show and MMO. Syfy, as you’d expect, are doing the TV show and Trion are doing the MMO. What’s interesting about this is how the two will converge into one. The project currently has the code name “One Earth” and it seems fitting. […]
Will Benedict Cumberbatch play Omega in Doctor Who?
If you check the histories of Gallifrey they will likely say the two most important Time Lords of all time are Rassilon and Omega. Working together Omega and Rassilon brought time travel to Gallifrey. Omega’s experiments on a device known as the Hand of Omega and designed to control reactions within a star was the […]
Check out the new Thundercats
We have an official image of the new Thundercats. It follows on the heels of a leaked image. The anime version (so suggests some official PR) will be coming to cartoon Network in the States. The rest of the world, hopefully, won’t be left out. Sam Register is the exec producer. He did Teen Titans, […]
Half-Life fan movie: Beyond Black Mesa
The fan made video Geek Native posted yesterday was Lazy Teenage Superheroes which was made with a budget of about $300. It was pretty good. There’s also the impressive Fallout fan film: Nuka Break. It’s a fan film festival! Imagine, then, what a fan made film with similar talent could do for $1,200. Beyond Black […]
Fan Film: Fallout: Nuka Break
This fan made film gets off to a great start – it asks kindly that no one sues. Then it gets even better as we flick out of quirky Fallout mode and flip to arhg-the-world-is-toast Fallout mode. It’s not an advert for COke. It’s an advert for Nuka Cola which we should all remember will […]
Red Dwarf coming back to TV; 6 new episodes
It looks like we’ll be lucky enough to get more Red Dwarf! When Dave commissioned the three-part Back to Earth TV special back in 2009 they had no budget but lots of fans. Turns out that the three episodes did really well. It beat both BBC 2 and Channel 4 in viewing figures when it […]
Lazy Teenage Superheroes
Here’s a video going viral that deserves to be famous. It’s called Lazy Teenage Superheroes and they say it had a budget of $300. If that’s right then the effects they achieve are pretty awesome. Michael Ashton also gets mega cook points for creating this, directing, editting and making the special effects. Ashton doesn’t star […]
Video interview: Sean Bean on playing Ned Stark in a Game of Thrones
The warning I give you is that this an MTV interview. Expect weird sound effects. The rest is common sense – Sean Bean read the books, loved it, saw the team who’d been working on the TV project and wanted to work with them. He finds himself drawn to the medieval style roles but welcomes […]
