Heroes Renewal Looking Up!

Heroes, one of my favourite shows on TV, may finally get the renewal that I have been hoping for. After some stories broke out recently that it would probably come back for a 13 episodes run that would close the series, Michael Ausiello now says that there is a 60% chance it will get picked up! [Ask Ausiello]

I have been crossing my toes and fingers so hard that I may be loosing them, but it appears it may pay off. Still keeping them crossed until the announcement is made.

Exclusive Interview with 1945a's Thomas Mikusz!


As I promised earlier in the week, I have an exclusive interview for you with the actor who plays the role of the ''Nazi Colonel'' in the short WWII Sci-Fi movie 1945a, the lovely and talented Thomas Mikusz. Since Thomas is definitely an up and coming actor in Hollywood I wanted to seize the chance to let you know about him.

Mikusz hails from Austria and has appeared in quite a few tv series such as Days of our Lives, Passions and The Unit so you may have already noticed the handsome actor on your TV screen before. It's my belief that we could very well see Thomas Mikusz on the big screen soon so look out for him!

Gorgeous True Blood Season 3 Cast Poster!


HBO is definitely doing great with their marketing of the upcoming season 3 of True Blood. Just look at that promotional cast photo! What's not to love?!? It's sexy and gorgeous, it's telling me to do bad things and Eric is hot.

That is all.

The Doctor as New Patron Saint of England? Count me In!

This is so good, I just had to put this up.

Adam Rutherford, from The Guardian UK, has written a story about St George, the patron saint of England, in which he questions whether or not the saint truly ever existed, and where he also discusses his love of Country. It's an interesting and entertaining article but the main point is that Rutherford has decided to offer an alternative as England's patron saint, a little fictionnal character known only as the Doctor:

Ridley Scott Talks Alien Prequel

Ridley Scott is definitely one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. The Robin Hood director has many movies under his belt, amongst them are the sci-fi classics Blade Runner and Alien. The first one. The scary horror thriller one.

Although I've always preferred Aliens to Alien, I can remember Alien being the first movie that truly scared me to death as a child. I mean, the tension, the suspense, the mostly unseen Alien hiding in the Nostromo, picking each crew member one by one, making minced meat of each and everyone of them.

Doctor Who: Upcoming Weeping Angels Two-Parter Like ''Aliens''

According to Steven Moffat, if his first Weeping Angels episode Blink was more like Ridley Scott's Alien, then The Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone can be compared to James Cameron's Aliens.

The upcoming two-parter will be much more action oriented than Blink was.

Firefox News Retracts it's Story on the Status of Torchwood

After being contacted by the BBC, Firefox News has made a retraction concerning it's story on the Torchwood filming status which I talked about here.

You can read their retraction here.

Sad but these things do tend to happen.

Now it still leaves us with knowing absolutely nothing about the status of Torchwood and it's starting to suck big time for all of us fans.

Doctor Who ''Victory of the Daleks'' Inside Trekker Review


Victory of the Daleks is written by Mark Gatiss who also previously wrote the fantastic ''The Unquiet Dead'' and the less so ''The Idiot's Lantern.'' This episode unfortunately suffers a bit compared to the previous two ones but is still none-the-less an interesting romp. As a stand-alone Dalek themed episode, it will undoubtedly be compared to ''Dalek'', the series great 1 episode written by Robert Shearman.

James Marsters Still Wants to Play Spike

James Marsters is better known for his role as the sexy bleached-haired vampire Spike from a little TV show called Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Yes, there were shows about Vampires before Twilight ever existed you know. But I digress.

He also had a recurring role in Torchwood's second series as Captain John Hart (he even got to exchange saliva with Captain Jack Harkness on the show). He was also on Smallville as Professor Milton Fine a.k.a Brainiac and we saw him just recently as Barnabas Greeley on Caprica.

News on the Filming of Torchwood Season 4

Firefox News is reporting that filming has recently wrapped for what is called Torchwood: Season 4. Belief is that filming was for the pilot and not the complete series yet.

We know that Russell T. Davies is working on was has been dubbed Torchwood USA and that it has been picked up by FOX. Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner - both BBC veterans - are executive producing it. So far, so good.

Captain America's Love Found! British Actress Cast

Seems like the search for Captain America's love, Peggy Carter, has ended. Little known (on this side of the pond at least) British actress Hayley Atwell has apparently won the coveted role. The news has been reported by The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision.

The character Atwell will play is named Peggy Carter, who in comics lore not only dated Captain America but was an agent helping the French Resistance. She later became the aunt of Sharon Carter, Captain America’s love in modern times.

Doctor Who in Paley Center: Interesting Tidbits

*Spoilery

Yesterday, Steven Moffat, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan were on hand in New York City's Paley Center to answer questions from journalists and to premiere the first episode of Doctor Who Series 5 titled ''The Eleventh Hour ''which airs this saturday, April 17, in North America.

Io9 was there to get interviews and in the process they got a few interesting tidbits from the Doctor Who gang. Amongst them:

Pitch Black and Riddick Sequel: Official Title Released and First Script Review Online

I love Pitch Black. It was an original and fun 2000 Sci-Fi movie that thrilled the viewers. It had a great but simple story - a group of survivors from a spaceship that crashed on a forbidden planet with 3 suns try to survive it's horrific, deadly night creatures. It also gave us a fantastic character named Richard P. Riddick, played by Vin Diesel, who was a convict and not a do-gooder or a framed ex-policeman or any other standard Sci-Fi hero you might get. In fact, Riddick was the quintessential anti-hero.
