July 1, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Analysts have destroyed both Starz and Lionsgate as being involved in geek. Starz has American Gods coming, Ash vs Dead and Outlander while Lionsgate brought us Hunger Games. Now Lionsgate has gobbled up Starz for a cool $4.4bn in cash, stock and debt.…

September 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Spartacus: Morituri is a novel that is not just set in the world created by Starz but involves Spartacus and the other gladiators. It is set after Spartacus becomes the Champion of Capua and while Crixus is wounded.…

BBC to cut gay Torchwood sex scene

July 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s a raunchy sex scene in a yet-to-air episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Captain Jack gets it on with a barman. The scene will air as intended in America where Torchwood runs on Starz (who picked up the franchise after the BBC decided they couldn’t support it).…

Noir live action TV series

June 20, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Watch how I avoid making “Noir of the living dead” jokes as I reveal that Sam Raimi is involved in a Starz backed “Noir” live action. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are co-producers; this is the Xena: Warrior Princess team, they are the same people who brought us Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Gods of the Arena.…

Torchwood Miracle Day Trailer – for UK

May 2, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As it happens the trailer for Starz’ Torchwood series starter “Miracle Day” as been out for a while. It’s just that all the video clips from the once-BBC owned Doctor Who spin-off were geo-tarded so that no one outside the US (or at least, no one inside the UK) could view it.…

Torchwood series 4 trailer

April 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The first episode of the Starz “rescued” Torchwood is called Miracle Day. If you’re super sensitive to spoilers then I don’t imagine you’ll be on this trailer post in the first place but just in case you subscribe to the RSS feed scroll a way now.…

BBC surrenders Doctor Who spin-off franchise to Starz

March 23, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m pleased that Starz picked up Torchwood. I watched the show simply because it was the Doctor Who spin-off franchise. I watched Children of Earth because it was horrible, good and horribly good.…

Torchwood turns dark; stays dark

July 26, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There was a world of difference between the first Torchwood series and the Children of Earth mini-series. In some ways it was almost a set up; you were led to believe that Torchwood was this silly romp that was ‘adult’ only because of its sexual references.…

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena

July 25, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Starz may be in the process of selling off Manga but they’re keeping their popular Spartacus series. The bloody and sexy gladiator drama has been a hit. Cruely, Spartacus star Andy Whitfield has cancer.…
