Many of us here at Slice of SciFi were happy to hear that Warner Brothers decided to abandon its plans to convert the first half of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to 3-D. And while you might expect that from us based on previous reports and shows, you may not have expected director James Cameron to agree.
Cameron says that studios' rush to up-convert movies to 3-D is a "mistake."
Former "Heroes" star Milo Ventimiglia is looking to get back into the superhero game on television.
The actor is attached to star and executive-produce "Rest", a project based on a 2008 comic book series he co-created.
Actress Eliza Dushku is no stranger to television.
She had recurring roles on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" and headlines "Dollhouse" for two seasons. Tonight, she shows up for a guest role on "The Big Bang Theory" as an FBI agent sent to look into Howard's background for a security clearance.
As I said in my review of the complete first series of the BBC's Being Human, on the surface the premise behind this show sounds a bit like the start of a joke.
"A werewolf, a vampire and a ghost all share a house together."
And while you might expect wacky hi-jinks to ensue, that isn't the case with Being Human. If the end of series one left you hanging, curious as to what was going to happen next, the good news is that series two starts with a bang and never looks back.
The Stephen Spielberg produced "Terra Nova" is having a rough time making it to broadcast.
The series has been pushed back multiple times by Fox and now they've fired the entire writing staff.
There are some who would say that Scarlett Johansson is one of the sexiest women working in Hollywood today.
So that could be why the producers of "Under the Skin" felt she was a great fit for the lead role of an alien seductress.
Fans of SyFy's "Caprica" aren't giving up on the "BSG" spin-off.
A fan campaign will send apples to the network in an attempt to catch the eye of execs and maybe save the show from the recycle heap.
Here's some information from the Save "Caprica" site that may be useful to readers who want to particpate.
On this week's Slice of SciFi, we'll have a story about the upcoming episodes of one of our favorite shows, "Stargate Universe."
If you're curious to see what's coming up next week, we've got a short clip from next week's episode, courtesy of SyFy. The episode is called "The Greater Good."
“A landmark technical achievement”, “A stunning visual experience”, “A wonder to behold”.
These have been used to describe BBC’s Planet Earth. Add floating rocks, shiny stuff, evil humans, naive indigenous population, a selfish planet, and you have the makings for Avatar. All that is left is to take a cliché plot, rev it over the top while keeping it at a Fifth Grade level of comprehension, stir it all up with some 3-D, bake for 10 years, and you end up with the highest grossing movie of all time.
You would have thought I would have learned my lesson with Titanic.
While many fans are quick to blame Jar-Jar for the faults of the prequel trilogy, what if the CGI created alien were responsible for even more gaffs during the entire six-episode series.
If you're curious about where "SGU" is headed for the rest of season two, tune in to this week's Slice of SciFi, either during our live recording tomorrow night or when the podcast goes live Saturday.
Until then, we've got a cool clip with Lou Diamond Philips to tide you over. The actor cracks up one of his alien counterparts in this outtake, courtesy of SyFy.
Director Guillermo del Toro says that he likes 3-D, if used for the right projects and done well.
And he says that his upcoming version of "Frankenstein" isn't the right project.
If you love matching gems for a huge high score, get ready. A third version of the popular game "Bejeweled" is headed your way.
"Bejeweled 3" will hit Mac and PC in December. The sequel hits the PopCap web site on December 7.
Now that we know the Riddler won't be the villain for Christopher Nolan's next Batman installment, fans are wondering just who will menace the Dark Knight.
The rumor mill has been swirling of late with rumors.
Add in the latest casting rumors and we've got a new one.
It's Friday and that means it's time for a bit of listener feedback! And we'll also find out the latest from Sweetleaf!
This is the show where our loyal, adoring, and inquisitive fans and listeners get to hear us comment on their comments about our stories and comments... it's the Circle of Entertainment Life!
