Aidan Turner, who plays the very sexy (and quite tortured in season 2) vampire Mitchell on Being Human opened up about the American version of the series which is currently being made by SyFy channel with Sam Witwer as the vampire: 

No 'Being Human' / 'Doctor Who' Crossover Happening?

Steven Moffat Talks Writing For Series 6 of 'Doctor Who'


Steven Moffat recently gave an interview to Den of Geek, hot on the heels of his new series Sherlock's success; but the showrunner had the time to talk about a few things concerning his writing on the upcoming series 6 of Doctor Who.

Moffat made it clear that despite his very heavy workload, the Doctor Who showrunner confirmed that not only he wrote the Christmas episode, but that he will be writing five of the thirteen episodes of series 6. Just like he did for series 5:

''I’m doing the Christmas special plus five, so it’s the same. Six again.''

'Farscape' and 'SG1' Star Ben Browder to Star in Sci-Fi Web Series 'Naught For Hire'


Ben Browder, who dazzled Sci-Fi fans both as John Crichton on Farscape and as Colonel Cameron Mitchell on Stargate SG-1, is making a long-awaited return to the genre in a very interesting web series.

Called Naught For Hire, it is a 13-part Sci-Fi web series set in 2030. Browder stars as Nick Naught, who is, so it happens, an analogue guy in a digital word - whatever that means.

The Sci-Fi web series is some sort of hybrid which incorporates noir style detective 30s movies type with Science-fiction.

Exclusive Comic-Con 2010 Story: BBC America's 'Being Human' Press Room

The cast of the BBC hit show Being Human at the press junket: Aidan Turner (Mitchell), Russell Tovey (George), Sinead Keenan (Nina), and Lenora Crichlow (Annie).

The first press room I attended at Comic-Con, which is also the very first press room I have ever attended, was with the BBC America hit series Being Human.

The basic premise of the show is simple: it's about a vampire, a ghost, and now two werewolves, all living together and trying to lead a normal life - which, you can very well imagine, is not an easy task.

But I myself could not have had an easier task, as this was an absolute dream press room.

Take a Look at These Brand New Steven Moffat's 'Sherlock' Stills!

The Doctor and Sherlock Holmes Are a Perfect Fictional Team


This is what Martin Freeman (The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy), who plays John Watson on Steven Moffat's new hit show Sherlock, thinks.

The British actor told What's on TV:
"I don't feel as passionate about Doctor Who as Stephen does, but I've enjoyed watching it more since being a father.

"We met Matt Smith while filming Sherlock in Cardiff because the Baker Street set is next to the [Who] set. It was strange seeing Sherlock Holmes and The Doctor together. They are the perfect fictional team."
Sherlock's first episode, A Study in Pink, garnered an impressive audience of 7.5 million viewers.

The next episode, The Blind Banker, airs this Sunday on BBC One at 8h30pm.

Check out the new SFX Magazine Torchwood Cover!


SFX Magazine teases that inside Issue 199 of the Magazine, Russell T. Davies says about series four of Torchwood that “It’s a proper, big, global ten-hour thriller.”

Never have I been more excited for Torchwood to return. But alas, the series wont make a come back until late 2011.

Basically this will turn into one long excruciating wait. Any one else agree?

Comic-Con 2010: BBC's 'Being Human' More Human Than Supernatural


During the Being Human press conference at Comic-Con, the cast talked about their reaction to and how they felt while reading about the concept of the successful Sci-Fi show for the first time.

Actor Russell Tovey, who portrays werewolf George on the BBC series, confessed that when he first heard the concept of a show having a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost living together, he thought it sounded like a kid's show, and that it seemed like it would never work.

See the Amazing Video of Josh Hutcherson's 'Spider-Man' Fight Audition

We know that Andrew Garfield has been cast as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man in the rebooted version of the movie, but actor Josh Hutcherson (Journey to the Center of the Earth) may have been a close finalist for the role.

Latino Review has posted the video of Hutcherson's fight audition. According to them "up and coming fight choreographer Larnell Stovall from UNDISPUTED 3 choreographed the gem below."

This is one video to make anyone go into dream mode and to wonder what it could have been (or could be) if Josh Hutcherson had won the role.

Now it makes wonder even more what Andrew Garfield will do with it.

Enjoy!

Comic-Con 2010: Press Rooms

Since I figured that all my news would be old news by the time I get to post something about Comic-Con, I decided to make some posts about my experiences in the press rooms, so that you get a bit of an insider's view as to what they are, how they work.

I was lucky enough to be able to attend four press rooms during this incredibly busy and crazy convention (far more crazier than I thought believe me. You think you know what you're getting yourself into when you've never gone to Comic-Con before but believe me, you do not).
