The working title for this project still seems to be Defiance although I’m sure it was announced as One Earth at the start of the year. The TV Defiance series is being produced by Universal Cable Productions, written by Rockne O’Bannon – who’s worked previously on Farscape, Warehouse 13, Alien Nation and DSV. The MMO […]
Attack the Block trailer
Wa-hoo. British sci-fi. British sci-fi with Nick Frost (who looks like he has Paul hair). This is a film from Joe Cornish and the production team of Scott Pilgrim and Shaun of the Dead. The movie pits aliens against kids from the inner city. Let’s hope the aliens win… oh? What? Sorry. Let’s hope it’s […]
Impressive Star Wars galaxy map
This map is worth checking out. It’s not often you get sci-fi maps and even less often do they attempt to chart out a whole galaxy. That whole maps are 2d and galaxies are 3d thing tends to be the problem. Back in 2009 Dark House and LucasFilms tackled this challenge for Star Wars: The […]
Jack Campbell interview
Jack Campbell’s The Lost Fleet series packs serious geek cred. It’s been recommended to me again and again. Titan are now bringing the series to the UK, starting with the release of Dauntless, Fearless and Courageous, then publishing more every month until we reach Victorious and the planned sequel series Beyond the Frontier. The spin-off […]
The most successful sci-fi series of all time
Perry Rhodan is the most successful sci-fi book series of all time. The space opera has sold over one billion copies. Heard of it? The series was created by K. H. Scheer and Clark Darlton in the 1960s in Germany. Translations into English also began in 1960s by a husband and wife team Forrest and […]
Pandora Machine’s Clone Hunter
Three months ago the trailer for Clone Hunter appeared on Vimeo. It’s one of those trailers that goes straight for the sci-fi fan levers, getting your interest quickly while doing a pretty good job at not looking low budget. For example, seconds into the video we know that in the future they’re growing clones for […]
Adidas’s footballers invade Star Wars’ famous Cantina scene
Okay, it’s well worth watching this video because it’s very well put together. I’ve had something of a Star Wars day already today so this discovery tonight seems the perfect end. Despite how clever this ad for Adidas is – I’ve mixed feelings. Does this show ball-kicking jocks invading traditional geek native land? This is […]
Syfy’s Periodic Table of The Empire Strikes Back
Hard to believe that The Empire Strikes Back is 30. It is! 30! That’s older than many of the people visiting this blog. Over on SciFi Wire they’ve posted some clever linkbait. Periodic Tables seem to be all the rage – and with this one we’ve got the Periodic Table of The Empire Strike Back. […]
A quick introduction to Iron Sky – Space Nazis
It’s been a long wait for Iron Sky – and there’s a lot more waiting to do. The first trailer now has over 1,000,000 views on YouTube and the second, published on the 13th of May, has over 300,000 at the time of posting. The concept is simple. The Nazis have been hiding on the […]
Lego movie: Blade Runner (Tears in Rain)
This is a short clip but so very executed. It’s well worth the minute of your life that it’ll take. Here’s the quote; “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be […]
