In perhaps the biggest news since Christopher Ecclestone appeared from the Tardis in 2005 and ended a Doctor Who drought which had lasted since 1989 – save for one TV film outing for Paul McGann in 1996 – another [...]
A modern movie version of The Twilight Zone is coming – of course it is, a modern movie version of everything retro is coming, it would seem – and now the project has a name attached to direct. And that name, picked by Warner Bros, would be Matt Reeves, at least according to Deadline’s ever-present [...]
Remember Rentaghost? If you were a child of the seventies, you’ll probably find it hard to forget the kids’ TV comedy show about a bunch of ghosts who could be hired out for hauntings. Jester ghost Timothy Claypole bumbled about the modern world, failing to get to grips with it all, and Nadia Popov who [...]
More news has been floating about the interweb concerning a possible third X-Files movie that many fans want to believe in. Last month, speculation sprung up surrounding creator Chris Carter’s comments about the potential plot. Apparently, we were told, it would involve Mayan mythology and 2012 end of the world stuff, which is certainly perfect [...]
We’d kind of forgotten Stargate was originally a piece of cinema, what with the long-running TV series and spin-offs such as Stargate Universe. Anyway, we recently re-watched the Stargate film from 1994, and while its special effects (the cool Egyptian helmet things) didn’t look quite so special, it still made for an enjoyable if slightly [...]
It seems that a fourth Jurassic Park film could be happening. Well, why not, after all the film industry these days seems to be doing more rebooting than a virus-infested PC. Jurassic Park 3 was out in 2001 and although it did well enough at the box office, critics gave it a lukewarm-to-hostile reception. But [...]
Matt Reeves (of Cloverfield and Let Me In fame) has been signed up to direct This Dark Endeavour, the movie adaptation of Kenneth Opel’s novel subtitled The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein, which is a prequel to the gothic classic Frankenstein. The novel and therefore presumably the movie stars a young Victor and his twin Konrad [...]
The sequel to 2009′s Star Trek movie is supposed to be lining up for release in a year’s time. However, according to TrekMovie.com, there’s a chance it will be delayed to the end of 2012.

The sci-fi movie rumour mill is buzzing this morning – if a mill can indeed buzz, perhaps it’s clunking or grinding instead – with speculation that Darren Aronofsky’s (of Black Swan fame) next project will be “Human Nature”. Vulture caught wind of this one, noting that the script for this is actually fifteen years old, [...]
Here’s a corker of a story currently doing the rounds. The ex-Governor of California, old Arnie himself, is to return to play the Terminator in a new movie. Apparently Justin Lin (of The Fast and the Furious fame) has been pencilled in to direct, with the pitch currently circulating around major studios – and there’s [...]
If you’ve come across the original Yoostar, you’ll be familiar with the premise: It’s a game which allows you to insert yourself into your favourite movie. The sequel to Yoostar is due on March 11th, and uses the Xbox Kinect or PlayStation Eye to allow players to become movie stars on the small screen – [...]

Best-selling horror author Stephen King has listed his top flicks for 2010. The top ten appeared in Entertainment Weekly magazine (via Slashfilm.com) and it contains some interesting picks. His number one fave movie of the year is horror movie Let Me In, which in fact he called the best horror film of the decade, no [...]
It seems that there could be another X-Files movie on the way (that we can watch with no lights on), to perhaps erase the memory of the not very well received 2008 feature (The X-Files: I Want to Believe). Or there might not be. Blastr reports that a French magazine called TVMag interviewed David Duchovny, [...]
Remember Myst? The brain-teasing enigmatic adventure game series first hit our monitors back in 1993. The game, which was the best-selling PC game of all time for almost a decade, until The Sims came along and knocked it off that perch in 2002, spawned a number of sequels and indeed novels. And now a film, [...]
So, Ghostbusters 3, is it going to happen? Well, maybe. Or maybe not.

Spectra magazine quotes the actress as saying that work is underway on the script. She also offered up an idea [...]

When Guillermo Del Toro vacated the director’s chair down at The Hobbit, most saw that as a big blow to the two-part movie epic scheduled to begin at the end of 2012. And many wondered who on Earth would replace him. Well, it seems that according to Deadline New York, MGM has found a suitable [...]
As far as B-movies go, Plan 9 from Outer Space is widely regarded as one of the worst. And of course, in cult terms, one of the best. It’s a 1959 sci-fi horror flick which was masterminded by Edward D Wood Jr, and is all about aliens resurrecting humans as zombies to stop mankind from [...]
Man of Steel teaser trailer released
If you’re sick of comic-book adaptations and film remakes, the last thing you might expect to get excited about is a new Superman film. That’s right: there’s a new Superman film scheduled for release in 2013. However, before you run off groaning at the idea of yet another mediocre cash-in, this one comes with caveats. [...]
