'Longmire' Star's Unsual Goal

23 May 2013 10:32 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

New York — You may not recognize Robert Taylor as anyone other than the title character he plays on the crime drama "Longmire." But he's no newcomer.

"I've been working pretty solidly for a long time," says Taylor, with a wry throwaway: "Not that anyone would notice, you know what I mean?"

But not that he appears to be complaining.

"It's been my goal to work as much as possible, and be as unknown as possible," he insists.

Unknown-ness for the 50-year-old actor may be threatened as "Longmire" begins its second season Monday at 10 p.m. Edt on A&E, where he stars alongside Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica") and Lou Diamond Phillips.

Taylor impressed viewers last summer as Sheriff Walt Longmire, who polices the Big Sky sprawl of Absaroka County, Wyo., with a devotion that's steadfast, laconic and sadder-but-wiser (he mourns the recent death of his wife). He is rangy and »

Watch the First Trailer for Promising New Sci-Fi Flick, ‘Europa Report’

22 May 2013 11:51 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

The first trailer for Europa Report has been launched onto the Internet, and the film looks quite promising. Shot in half documentary style and half narrative, the movie follows a near-future mission to Jupiter’s moon, Europa, in search of extraterrestrial life. From the trailer, the film looks to be of extremely high quality and you can’t help but notice the score by composer Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica, Walking Dead, Eureka). Its nice to see a smaller-scale science fiction movie released this summer, one that seems realistic — and harrowing. Sebastián Cordero directs and Sharlto Copley stars along side Michael Nyqvist, Christian Camargo, Daniel Wu, Anamaria Marinca, Isiah Whitlock Jr. And  Karolina Wydra. Europa Report comes to theaters August 2nd, 2013. Watch the trailer below. Enjoy!

Timecop Reboot in Development at Universal Pictures

22 May 2013 5:56 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The 1994 sci-fi action-thriller Timecop is getting the reboot treatment at Universal Pictures. The studio is seeking writers to craft a completely re-imagined concept and story. Marc Shmuger (We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks) and Tom McNulty (The Watch) are producing.

Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in the original as a security company agent who regulates time travel. He tangles with a corrupt politician (Ron Silver) with ties to his past. Jean-Claude Van Damme will not be a part of this project.

The original is based on the Dark Horse Comics series created by Mike Richardson and Mark Verheiden. Mike Richardson went on to produce films such as Hellboy, 30 Days of Night, and R.I.P.D., while Mark Verheiden has made his mark on the small screen, producing shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, and Falling Skies. There is no word whether they will be involved in the reboot.

Review: Beautiful Creatures

20 May 2013 1:59 PM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

In the wake of Star Wars’ massive and surprisingly success, studios went looking for the next Star Wars. We’ve seen this cycle again and again, which has led to some good things (the revival of Star Trek in 1979) and some bad (the original Battlestar Galactica). In the wake of Stephanie Meyer’s perplexingly popular Twilight, publishers and film studios alike have been demanding the next Twilight. Hungry authors have been more than happy to fill the order with way too many urban fantasies reading like made-to-order hash. What everyone loses sight of is that Star Wars and Twilight each staked out territory that had not been overly mined in the period before their arrival. So, what makes any of the imitators succeed is how well executed it is and how much the formula is given fresh ingredients to keep it from feeling like warmed up leftovers.

L.A. Screenings: The Upfronts At a Glance

20 May 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

20th Century Fox TV

Robin Williams’ biggest commitment to series television since the days of “Mork & Mindy” highlights a 20th TV slate that is deep, even if not necessarily brimming with international star appeal.

Williams is teaming with another recognizable face, Sarah Michelle Gellar, in the single-cam, father-daughter workplace comedy “The Crazy Ones,” from the pen of a scribe with no small amount of global cachet himself: David E. Kelley.

Kelley’s star Stateside hasn’t shined quite as brightly of late — “Harry’s Law” (NBC) lasted only two seasons, while “Monday Mornings” (TNT) didn’t make it past one, and half-hour isn’t exactly where the “Picket Fences” and “Ally McBeal” creator made his bones, but a series starring Williams in an accessible setting is filled with worldwide potential.

A slam dunk for interest is the limited-series return of Kiefer Sutherland in “24: Live Another Day.” The condensed format »

Get a signed copy of Alan Sepinwall's book 'The Revolution was Televised'

Back in November, I self-published a book, "The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever." It was a look back at some of the best and/or most influential dramas of the last 15 years — "The Sopranos," "Oz," "The Wire," "Deadwood," "The Shield," "Lost," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Battlestar Galactica," "24," "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" — told through both my critical eye and the voices of the men and women responsible for making them. Reaction to the book was so favorable (the New York Times' Michiko Kakutani named it one of her favorite »

Syfy renews "Warhouse 13" for a six-episode final season

17 May 2013 4:25 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Tags: TV newstelevisionWarehouse 13Joanne KellyJaime MurrayWAPIMDb

Good news, nerdsbians: Syfy has heard your #RenewWarehouse13 cry and picked up the show for a final, six-episode season! Yesterday, Syfy boss Mark Stern told Deadline:

Warehouse 13 has been an incredible signature series for us. We are grateful to the loyal and passionate fan base and know that Jack Kenny, his gifted creative team, and outstanding ensemble cast will give them an amazing finale season.

The fifth season will film this summer and air in 2014.

I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm fully going to get all up in this gift horse's grill. Warehouse 13 has been a remarkable sci-fi series, one of the best original programs Syfy has ever produced. I know it's sacrilege, but I'd put it up there with Battlestar Galactica. And gay lady viewers have been smitten with H.G. and Myka's relationship from the very beginning. »

David Eick Joins TNT’s ‘Falling Skies’ As New Showrunner

16 May 2013 2:30 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

Exclusive: Former Battlestar Galactica executive producer and Caprica co-creator/exec producer David Eick has come on board TNT’s hit alien-invasion drama Falling Skies as executive producer/showrunner. On the show, executive produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Noah Wyle, he replaces fellow Caprica co-creator/exec producer Remi Aubuchon, who is leaving after serving as showrunner for the past two seasons. Season 3 of Falling Skies kicks off with a two-hour premiere June 9. Eick is expected to begin assembling a writing staff to start working on Season 4 in anticipation of pickup. (Because of Falling Skies‘ complicated shoot and laborious post-production process due to elaborate special effects, the writers on the show normally get a head start before an official green light so the gap between seasons is not too big.) A Season 4 renewal is considered a formality as Falling Skies is TNT’s #1 scripted series in the younger demos. It premiered »

'Riddick' Trailer: Vin Diesel Battles Monsters On Sparsely Furnished Canadian Soundstages

15 May 2013 2:05 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

First off: yes, the 'Riddick' franchise, which began with 2000's pleasingly grungy "Pitch Black" and continued, into a more opaque fantasy realm with 2004's "Chronicles of Riddick," is still alive and well. For some reason.

In the series, Vin Diesel plays the titular mercenary, who has had his eyes "shined" so he can see in the dark (which is apparently a problem in the future, maybe because everyone is out in space). He's such a badass that in the opening moments of the trailer for the third film, simply called "Riddick" (just Riddick, it's cleaner), he grabs a dragon by the throat. Note to dragons everywhere: don't mess with Vin Diesel.

After the dragon-choking (wait, what?), the rest of the trailer sets up the basic plot for "Riddick," as much as there is one. A band of lethal bounty hunters, it seems, has been tracking Riddick and located »

Riddick: the first trailer

15 May 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Trailer Ryan Lambie 15 May 2013 - 20:19

Vin Diesel digs his goggles out of the kitchen cupboard for his return to the sci-fi world of Riddick. Here's the first trailer...

Already reprising his long-running role as rumbly-voiced wheelman Dominic Toretto in this summer's Fast & Furious 6, Vin Diesel's returning to his other signature antihero this autumn: rumbly voiced mercenary, Riddick.

Diesel reunites with director David Twohy, who directed 2000's Pitch Black and both wrote and directed 2004's The Chronicles Of Riddick. This year's Riddick looks like an amalgam of those two films; the first half of the trailer's full of the CG-heavy action we saw in the 2004 spin-off, before it ventures into the monster-filled siege territory that made Pitch Black a hit.

Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff's along for the ride, while Karl Urban reprises his role as Lord Vaako. Riddick even gets some sort of alien dog sidekick this time round, »

This weekend, Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters and the common consensus among reviewers seems to be that Jj Abrams' adaptation of the beloved series is even better this time around. The thing we're most excited about, of course, is Zoe Saldana's return as a young Nyota Uhura. Apparently Saldana's role is much bigger this time around, which means the Star Trek sequel is a can't miss for us!

Of course, lesbian and bisexual women are not strangers to the world of science fiction. In fact, we often find better representation in the fantasy realm than in any other genre. And even when we don't find queer women to swoon over, we find powerful women to root for. »
