Sony has tapped Greg Berlanti to helm a fascinating robot uprising film called Epsilon. The sci-fi actioner has a script by Zombieland and G.I. Joe: Retaliation scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and takes place in the aftermath of a failed robot uprising, in which Earth operates on almost no electronics. In the world of the film, the remaining robots have taken refuge on a space station where they begin to raise their own human lab rats, which they train to act as their agents. The film’s protagonist is a man who discovers he is more human than he thought. Heat Vision reports that Berlanti has close a deal to direct the pic, with Michael De Luca onboard to produce alongside Reese and Wernick. Berlanti is best known as the executive producer and showrunner of such TV series as Brothers & Sisters, Everwood, and No Ordinary Family. On the feature front, »

As expected, CBS decided to make this year the last for CSI: New York, the third spinoff of the CSI mothership that stars Gary Sinise. The drama only averaged a 1.9 rating/6 share in adults 18-49 this season, and 11.27 million viewers.
CBS also shot down a second year of Vegas, the period drama starring Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis about the mob-infested Sin City, and Golden Boy, a drama about the youngest police commissioner who …. eh, who cares?
After CSI: Miami was booted off the schedule, the clock began ticking for the other spinoff based in the Big Apple, which did »

Review Billy Grifter 16 Apr 2013 - 13:00
Billy checks out new Syfy post-alien invasion series Defiance, and likes some of what he sees...
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here.
1.1 Pilot
What's fascinating about sci-fi shows is that they're invariably influenced by others in the genre. Right from the start of Defiance we're bombarded with references to many things, like a buffet where the host couldn't decide if they wanted to serve Chinese or pizza, and so threw it, along with curry and sushi all on the same plate. Defiance gives us Mad Max over Firefly, with a side order of Shakespeare and the general ambience of a thousand cowboy movies rolled into one.
As with any overly ambitious cuisine there are parts that work well, and others you'd push to the edge of the plate. But, it all starts well enough. After watching the whole thing, the strongest »

On April 15, Defiance debuts on Syfy.
Given the amount of promotion underway for the show (and the video game) since Comic-Con last July, you may be familiar with the name, but not the concept behind this series. So before it airs and my first review is posted Monday night, allow me to bring you up to speed.
----------------------------------------
History
Defiance was conceptualized as a video game and TV show that would interact and affect each other as they went along. However, given the difference in production time between TV shows and video games, it quickly became apparent there would need to be some boundaries.
So, Defiance the TV show is set in St. Louis while Defiance the video game is set in San Francisco. Both take place in the same time period (the year 2046) and a few characters will go back and forth between the show and game (Nolan and »

It’s time for us to get all caught up with the news from Storybrooke – or more specifically out of Storybrooke. The town’s all a-buzz with news of a spinoff, that now has a title: Once: Wonderland. First, let me tell you what it is not. It is not yet a series. It has a name, it has writers, and casting has begun.
It is also just now being written, and all that’s being written is, according to Deadline, a 15-20 page, four scene presentation. That doesn’t mean it isn’t going to be on ABC‘s fall schedule, it just means that it might not be, so although you may want to reserve your blog names now, maybe save your money on the upgrades for a little bit.
It also means that any or all of the information below may well be changed entirely before the show is broadcast, »
