Zur Detail-Ansicht...Ridley Scott has dropped some more details about the two Alien prequels he's working on, and so far we're liking what we hear.

Whoa! Coming Soon unearthed a trove of concept art by comic artist Jock and Andy Diggle for Peter Berg's Dune movie that will never be. Pierre Morel took over as director after Berg left the project, and Morel's going to do his own thing, so sadly this gorgeous art will go unused.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...It's pretty clear that one Doctor Who fan has got a lot of time on his hands, and we've got to say he's putting it to good use. JUSTJON has designed a TARDIS made completely out of LEGO Bricks that not only lights up and has an electric door, but also plays the Doctor Who theme!
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Smallville has been on the air since 2001, making it the longest-running comic-book series in television history.

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Whether you're a machinist on a tylium ship or a working-class superhero in Chicago, there are three things you deserve: a fair wage, a safe working environment and regular breaks (so you can read Blastr, of course). That's not always how it goes in the world of science fiction, where humans will happily enslave primates just so they don't have to vacuum and alien gods will in turn happily enslave humans.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...This is one of those charts that's both a little "ha-ha funny" and a little "ha-ha sad." It illustrates why Hollywood has a love/hate relationship with geek films, and it was put together by Cracked (which means it's NSFW -- it's got some swears).
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Here's the first clip from Let Me In, Matt Reeves' remake of the brilliant Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In. And this scene looks very promising for fans of the original (which we wholeheartedly are).
Zur Detail-Ansicht...If you're an M. Night Shyamalan fan who's been waiting to see the long-promised Unbreakable sequel, well...we're not sure how you're going to feel about this.

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Many people were disappointed by the way Lost ended, and even those who liked the ending still had lots of unanswered questions after the finale. Well, prepare to get some answers because a diligent fan who goes by the name of That John Locke just found a way to take all the theories about Lost floating around the internet and turn them into one unifying explanation that actually seems to make more sense than the show itself did.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...After Spider-Man came out in 2002 and set all kinds of records for making money, the movie industry has gone crazy for superheros. Eight years later they just keep on coming. We've gotten some great ones (Iron Man, The Dark Knight) along with some not so good ones (Wolverine, Fantastic Four).
Over the next three years we're going to have the chance to see more than a dozen superhero films, mostly from Marvel and DC but also a few others. To help keep track of it all we've created this handy guide of the 19 most notable titles that are supposed to come out (some more tentatively than...

Today, we now have our very first look at what the actor looks like in the role, and it's really, REALLY interesting. And kind of shocking.

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Neil Gaiman's landmark literary comic series The Sandman is being developed by Warner Bros. as a TV series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That's the good news. The bad news is, Neil isn't actually working on it.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Gravity was going to be a big 3-D sci-fi film billed as Cast Away in space, with Angelina Jolie playing the Tom Hanks bit (no word on what would Wilson would be made from). The problem is, Angelina doesn't actually want to be in the film, and now Gravity might never get made.

My old friends know better than to go see movies with me. Sure, I always yell at the screen when a movie spaceship make a "whooshing" noise when it flies past, but at least I don't throw popcorm: at a pro-rated 10 cents or so per kernel, it's simply not cost-effective. But at my best I still mutter under my breath, and sometimes even take...

Zur Detail-Ansicht...AMC is apparently pretty confident about its new zombie series The Walking Dead, because it's already ordered a second season before anyone's even seen a full episode.

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Before he was Gandalf and before he was Magneto and before he was a knight, young Ian McKellen was STILL impossibly cool. And he apparently owned at least two pairs of shoes. Via tumblr.

It's a movie that probably nobody should be fighting over in any way, but the producer of Piranha 3D is really really upset with James Cameron for calling his film "exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D." Why Cameron told that to Vanity Fair is anyone's guess, but producer Mark Canon is not amused.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Remember the new BBC sci-fi miniseries The Deep, about the crew of a research submarine that encounters disaster deep under the Arctic Circle? You know, with Minnie Driver? And Goran Visnjic? No?

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Although the film version of The Lord of the Rings was a massive worldwide success, getting J.R.R. Tolkien's prequel, The Hobbit, to the screen has proven much more difficult. With the rights finally sorted out after being tied up for years and a studio feud with Rings director Peter Jackson resolved, the project finally began moving forward in 2008—only to be stalled this year by the looming collapse of MGM, one of the two companies financing the production, should it fail to find a way out of its $4 billion debt.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...TempleofGhoul's Dejan Ognjanovic got his hands on a copy of Guillermo del Toro's script At the Mountains of Madness, an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novella of the same name. Based on his first impressions, the film is feels like "a Hellboy movie without Hellboy, with a light dose of Carpenter's The Thing. "
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Comic Book Movie has an inside source that says Fox wants to get Bruce Willis to play Ben Grimm in the new Fantastic Four reboot. Since most people seemed to hate the rubber costume that was used previously, the studio has decided to turn this version of The Thing into a CGI character.

Zur Detail-Ansicht...Turns out the skies are a lot more crowded than we used to think! Back in 1980, we were aware of fewer than 9,000 asteroids. Today, we know about more than half a million of them. Check out a hypnotic video that captures the discovery of every one of them in three minutes.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Not quite satisfied with the way Heroes finished out its fourth season? Wishing those heroes (and villains, too) would come together for one last hurrah? You're not the only one. Greg Grunberg, who portrayed the series' telepathic cop Matt Parkman, thinks a big-screen Heroes is necessary to finish out the story line.
Zur Detail-Ansicht...Shocking news in the world of Doctor Who today: the BBC just announced that series six will be split in two for the first time since it started in 2005, with one block of episodes airing over the spring of 2011 and the second one airing in the fall.

It was great to see Ripley herself, Sigourney Weaver, back in a kick-ass sci-fi movie like Avatar. Too bad they killed her off, though. (Sorry for the spoiler, but it's like the biggest movie of all time—haven't you seen it already?)
