Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the BBC have ordered 14 episodes of Doctor Who for [New] Series 7 - to be split between 2012, and the shows 50th anniversary in 2013. Plus there is the usual Christmas Special (2011).

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

There has been acres of discussion over this elsewhere on the interwebs, as it is still not entirely clear exactly what is meant by splitting series 7 in two over 2012 and 2013.

On a certain reading of the information, it appears that the BBC has effectively cut its output of Doctor Who in half for the next 2 years. Whether that is in fact true would depend o exactly when in 2012 and 2013 the episodes of season 7 are screened, and when season 8 eventually gets screened.

The confusion seems to have had something to do with severe ineptitude at senior production level and other senior production staff and BBC management all trying to cover it up but spinning the story in several different directions.

A new Blade Runner film slated for 2013/14

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I am surprised to learn the original movie of Blade Runner flopped at the box office.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

"Portal" fan film - awesome.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

I believe that shows the potential that a full on movie could have.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

WOW!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Nah, I think 5 mins is all you would get from that.

It could be used integrally as part of a bigger film.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Reminds me a bit of "The Cell"

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Web site for next Starship Troopers film is up - link.

This one will be totally CGI.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Well it has to be better than the 2 previous, the first was awesome!

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

At least the third one had powered armour sadly missing from the original and an integral part of the original book.

Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other Snippets
 

Russell Tovey has quit Being Human. Oh man, with Aidan Turner quitting last year and now him quitting this year. I dunno if the show will be successful any more.

GI Joe sequel trailer - rumoured to be much better than the first one (couldn't be much worse).
