Martin Wood Is the Guest For Slice of SciFi Show #105

Director/producer/writer Martin Wood loves science fiction and the body of his creative work proves it. Not only is he heavily involved with co-writing the new and greatly anticipated online series “Sanctuary,” starring Amanda Tapping, he has also directed more than 100 episodes of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis combined. His creative fingerprints can be found on such series as “Andromeda,” “Earth: The Final Conflict” and the critically acclaimed series “Jeremiah.”

Following in the footsteps of other great directors like Hitchcock, Tarantino and Scorcese, Wood has even stepped in front of the camera for shows and features he is helming, for example — playing a director on the “Stargate SG-1″ parody episode ‘Wormhole X-Treme.”

Some of the other shows and programs on Wood’s resume include the popular, but short-lived, “The Invisible Man,” the movie “Teenage Space Vampires” and the highly respected documentary “SIDS: A Special Report,” hosted by Emmy Award winning journalist Linda McLennan.

We are very happy to be able to bring you an exclusive interview with Martin on Slice of SciFi show #105, airing on Wednesday, April 18, 2007.

On the rest of the show and in the News we have an update on how you can find your nearest R2D2 USPS Mailbox, Sam Raimi locks into Fearnet and “Nim’s Island” lands a huge box office draw.

Movie Talk:
Find out why the slasher and brutally realistic film “Captivity” got in trouble with the MPAA and what it cost the film’s producer’s and studio in the way of distribution.

TV Talk:
Do you suffer from “Battlestar Galactica” withdrawal? We have the solution to that little problem. Those Geico Cavemen land two giants in the industry to ensure that the new sitcom that tells their story gets a first class pilot and regular series writing team and production crew.

Future Talk:
In the horror film “Blood,” Sam the Butcher is in love but that loving relationship is in danger. Why? Because the love of his life is being seduced by a vampire. Will Sam find new flesh for his meat cleaver? There will be a new serial killer flick coming that will take a slightly different slant on the genre. We share that with you when we examine the film “Untraceable.”

We’ve got news, movies, TV, the crystal ball and special segments, and most importantly we have fun. Join Slice of SciFi this Wednesday so you too can participate in that fun and enjoy our interview with famed director Martin Wood.
