Doctor Who: bring on a woman
3 June 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The character of the Doctor has aways moved with the times – and the time has surely come for our first female Doctor. So who would be the ideal choice?
So, it's choosing-a-new-Doctor time again. Exciting, for those of us who love the show and its brilliant "regeneration" wheeze, which means that the Doctor is always changing, and yet somehow also always the same, and that the public never have time to get tired of any single actor in the role.
Sadly, it's also time for statements such as this: "Many people – who probably don't watch the show very much – suggest that the next Doctor could be a woman", a sentence brilliant in its patronising, patriarchy-upholding blindness.
To respond. Many men can't imagine a female Doctor.
This is despite the fact that it has been established at least twice under current showrunner Steven Moffat that the Doctor could indeed be a woman. »

Check Out First Clip From Sci-Fi Space Horror Last Days On Mars
29 May 2013 12:42 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Last Days On Mars is a film you wouldn’t expect to wow crowds at Cannes. It’s a sci-fi horror mash up set in space. Doesn’t sound like the sort of flick that’d win over critics at the year’s most influential event in cinema. Now you can get a glimpse of the film that’s causing such a stir, as the first clip is available online.
Taking elements of Prometheus, The Thing and Alien, Last Days On Mars (previously known as The Animators) comes from filmmaker Ruari Robinson. Robinson made a name for himself creating shorts. He received an Oscar nomination for 2002′s Fifty Percent Grey. Now he has a full length feature on his resume, with a pretty phenomenal cast list.
From the brevity of this preview the film shares a striking similarity to another upcoming sci-fi space flick, Europa Report. Both tell the tale »

Intense & Intriguing First Clip From Liev Schreiber’s Sci-Fi Thriller ‘The Last Days On Mars’
29 May 2013 12:30 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Previously going by the title of The Animators, director Ruairi Robinson’s The Last Days On Mars impressed many at its premiere at the recent Cannes Film Festival. The science-fiction thriller, led by Liev Schreiber, centres on an astronaut crew who’ve arrived on the Red Planet and uncovered a major breakthrough in a collection of rock specimens with evidence of life. However, a final visit to the excavation site during their final day hours on the planet turns tragic when one of them falls to his death… or so they thought!
An impressive supporting cast includes Olivia Williams, Romola Garai, Elias Koteas, Tom Cullen, Goran Kostic and Johnny Harris. There are no release dates as yet but we’re hoping this could be right up their with John Carpenter’s classic The Thing, perhaps not in creature design but certainly in foreboding dread!

First Clip from Ruairi Robinson’s The Thing-esque Last Days on Mars
29 May 2013 6:37 AM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
Mars gets dangerous. If the name Ruairi Robinson sounds familiar, that’s because he was, at one point, supposed to make his feature film directorial debut on Warner Bros.’s big-budget live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga/anime “Akira”. Well that didn’t work out, but Ruairi Robinson has now moved on to the sci-fi/horror “Last Days on Mars”. No trailer yet, but check out your first clip from the movie below. The plot sounds particularly “The Thing”-ish: A group of astronaut explorers succumb one by one to a mysterious and terrifying force while collecting specimens on Mars. The rather nice cast (note: I’m not saying all-star, but I am saying Very nice) includes Liev Schreiber, Romola Garai, Elias Koteas, Olivia Williams, Johnny Harris, Goran Kostic and Tom Cullen. No Stateside release date yet, though the film has a September 19 release date in the UK. »

Cannes 2013 Horror Wrap-up
28 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
The Cannes Film Festival, arguably the most important showcase for international cinema of the year, just wrapped up on the Riviera with Blue is the Warmest Color winning the coveted Palme D'Or and Bruce Dern (Nebraska) and Berenice Bejo (The Past) winning Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively. Typically heavy on dramatic fare, Cannes is never one of the best festival markets for horror premieres, although a lot of international sales do happen on and off the competition circuit of the fest. It's not like South by Southwest or even Sundance, where one can be assured that horror is going to play a prominent of the buzz coming out of the festival. However, all is not lost for horror fans looking for a sneak peek of what's lurching over the arthouse horizon. From names major (Jim Jarmusch, Takashi Miike) and minor (Ruairi Robinson, Jim Mickle), the 2013 Cannes audience were treated »

'The Last Days on Mars' (2013) Movie Review - Cannes Film Festival
21 May 2013 10:30 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Writer/director Ruairi Robinson made a bit of a name for himself online with his short film Blinky (watch it here) back in 2011. The dark sci-fi short featured a household robot gone rogue and was a sign of some promise. His debut feature, Last Days on Mars, has premiered here in Cannes and keeps Robinson locked in the sci-fi realm, but this time he has a bigger budget and some bigger names in tow. The end result is a visit to the red planet with a story far from unique, but in the "midnight movie" kind of way it tends to satisfy just enough for On Demand consideration. The story takes place during the final hours of a six month mission to Mars. The final checks are being done and some are looking forward to getting home, while others wish they could stay longer and some are merely indifferent. However, »

Cannes Film Review: ‘The Last Days on Mars’
20 May 2013 7:06 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Considerable talent and resources have clearly been marshaled in service of “The Last Days on Mars,” which, in achieving a reasonably plausible low-budget vision of the future, announces itself as a first feature of considerable ambition for Irish helmer Ruairi Robinson. Yet while it earns high marks for Jon Henson’s production design, this murkily derivative sci-fi-horror entry sets its sights disappointingly low in terms of story and ideas, leaving the viewer’s sense of awe unstirred as a solid cast, toplined by Liev Schreiber, trudges its way through what basically amounts to “Red Planet of the Dead.”
Four years ago, Duncan Jones’ “Moon” demonstrated what was possible, creatively and commercially, in the realm of minimalist speculative fiction. Apart from serving its purpose as a calling card for Robinson and his crew, “The Last Days on Mars” seems unlikely to occupy a place of similar distinction. At a time when »

Cannes: 'Last Days on Mars' Director and Olivia Williams on Making the Mars Sci-Fi Thriller (Video)

The Directors' Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival doesn't have a reputation for being especially inclusive to films in the sci-fi genre, but Ruairi Robinson's Last Days on Mars is the exception to the rule. "I think the festival director [Edouard Waintrop] seems like the awesomest guy in the world and he like the kind of stuff," Robinson says when he sits down with star Olivia Williams for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on the morning of the premiere.

'Britain's Got Talent': Nu Sxool's younger relatives perform - picture
10 May 2013 4:01 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Dance troupe Pre-Skool take to the Britain's Got Talent stage this evening, hoping to follow in the footsteps of their older siblings from Nu Sxool, who made it to the final last year.
The act, made up of 13 members aged 5 to 8 from Port Talbot, perform a very confident dance routine for the judges despite their young ages.
"We got together because our brothers and sisters Nu Sxool got to the finals of Britain's Got Talent last year," 6-year-old Seren Evans explains before the routine.
"We just saw them on the TV and said, 'Why don't we have a go at that?'"
Seren's sister is Ffion from Nu Sxool, while Olivia Williams from Pre Skool has an older cousin Brandon Williams in last year's troupe, and Megan Carsley from Pre-Skool is little sister to Nu Sxool's Thomas Carsley.
Choreographer Terry Michael, who is behind both dance groups, explained: "We »
Alicia Vikander in talks for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. with Tom Cruise & Armie Hammer
10 May 2013 3:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The adaptation of the ’60s TV programme, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., has been in development for some time now, and things have recently finally started falling into place.
Guy Ritchie came on board almost a year and a half ago, replacing Steven Soderbergh in the director’s chair, and things have been fairly quiet since then. But things have started to progress very nicely in recent weeks, with Tom Cruise first coming on board, swiftly followed by Armie Hammer.
Now Alicia Vikander has begun negotiations to star in the female lead, which is a new creation for Ritchie’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E., not appearing in the original series or its short-lived spin-off. She is set to play a British agent with a passion for cars, with Cruise playing Us agent Napoleon Solo and Hammer playing Soviet agent Illya Kuryakin.
Vikander made her English language debut last year with the Oscar-nominated Anna Karenina. »

Three Summer '13 Films for Pattinson?
9 May 2013 5:49 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Robert Pattinson Mission: Blacklist movie: Filming in August? Mission: Blacklist is not the upcoming fifth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise starring Tom Cruise. For the time being, that’s concisely called Mission: Impossible 5. So, what’s Mission: Blacklist? Well, as every ardent Robert Pattinson fan will tell you, that’s a Pattinson movie project initially announced in early May 2012. Pattinson is attached to this Embankment Films-financed (or to-be-financed) production based on Eric Maddox and Davin Seay’s book Mission: Black List #1 - The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein - As Told by the Soldier Who Masterminded His Capture. The title of Maddox and Seay’s book says it all. But just in case, here’s the brief Mission: Blacklist synopsis found on the Embankment Films website: Unlike other Interrogators fresh out of training, Eric Maddox (Robert Pattinson) has a brilliant and beautiful mind. He has »

9 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
And the list of cast members in David Cronenberg's upcoming Maps to the Stars has grown by three as Mia Wasikowska, Olivia Williams, and newcomer Evan Bird have all signed on to the project.
Per Variety, Bird has been cast as a troubled, drug-addicted child star. Williams (pictured below; The Seventh Son, "Dollhouse," The Sixth Sense) will play his manipulative mother, and Wasikowska (pictured right; Stoker, Alice in Wonderland, Only Lovers Left Alive) will portray his disfigured schizophrenic, fame-obsessed sister.
They join the previously announced Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Robert Pattinson, and Sarah Gadon. The screenplay is by Bruce Wagner (Wild Palms) and is a combo ghost story and critique of celebrity-obsessed society in Los Angeles.
Entertainment One Films and Martin Katz’s Prospero Pictures are producing with production starting in July in Toronto and Los Angeles. Sentient Entertainment's Renee Tab, Cronenberg's manager, will executive produce with Integral Films’ Alfred Hurmer co-producing. »

Maps To The Stars Gets Weirder With New Cast Members And Story Details
9 May 2013 6:10 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
For director David Cronenberg, marrying up stunning and grotesque visuals with Hollywood’s choicest talent is not unusual. The cast roster for his latest directorial effort, Maps To The Stars is already mightily impressive. Stars are chomping at the monstrous bit to have the chance to work with the Canadian filmmaker.
Mia Wasikowska, no stranger to the weird, Olivia Williams and Evan Bird have now joined the project. Wasikowska’s recent turn in Stoker cements her as an actress with a willingness to venture into the sinister side of human nature. Williams is best known for her work in The Sixth Sense, Rushmore, a brilliant turn in Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse, and the recent Anna Karenina adaptation. For youngster Bird, this will be his first foray into film after roles in TV’s The Killing and Falling Skies.
Reports on their roles indicate that the story is sounding more and »
