Heavy Metal ('Metal Hurlant') Still Coming. Honh honh honh!

NEWS Monday, March 15 by Captain


Dark Horizons is reporting that Heavy Metal, based on the iconic French comic Metal Hurlant, is still good to go, despite a rocky run.

This is good news, because the core team is still attached, and David Fincher, James Cameron and Zac Snyder are all still interested in a project that will have eight to nine segments, which of course will be animated, and, you guessed it, be in 3D.

The original 1981 movie caused quite a stir through the mainstream as it brought the violence and eroticism of the long-running comic book series to a world not quite ready for it. Still, the fanbase for Heavy Metal remains extremely strong, and skimpily clad homicidal Amazon cyber women have always been a hit at the box office.

What's On This Week March 15 - 21

CAPTAIN'S BLOG Sunday, March 14 by Captain


March marches on apace with all the very best in Sci Fi tramping merrily along. This week, catch the latest and greatest with our new hit shows, and catch up with some old time faves. It's a great week to love Sci Fi - on SCI FI.

Farscape, Season 3!

March 16th 1.05 am

Episode One is one of the best openers you'll see in Sci Fi, to a series that had hit its straps and was going balls-to-the-wall with a bubbling plot of story, character and action. If you're a bit of a 'drop in, drop out' Farscape fan, Season 3 is not the worst place to start. Try staying up late on Monday night or recording it on your IQ.

Once again, we continue on our never ending quest: to keep you informed of what's going on in the world of nerdom. It's been a big week, so hang on to your hats and let's go! Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads...

In this week’s most super duper, fantastic, amazing, (insert more superlative’s here) news, there’s new trailers for Iron Man 2 and Tron Legacy! The first has reached near impossible amounts of awesome (War Machine! The briefcase armour! Tony’s response to meeting the notary! The tux under the armour!) while Tron looks simply amazing. Though I can’t hear Bruce Boxleitner’s voice without hearing Captain Sheridan... There’s also a new Tron image and several billboards.

Heavy Rain: Breezethrough Review

GAMES Friday, March 12 by Captain




Available on the PS3, now.


Few games have received the rapt attention that the launch of Heavy Rain has. From the first frames of scintillatingly detailed graphics, it's easy to understand what all the fuss is about. Playing the game isn't really about 'playing'. Heavy Rain takes us to a new place in the gaming universe. For some - it's going to be a magnetic, hypnotic experience.

For others - boring as bat shit.

Frak Me! BSG MMORPG! OMG!

NEWS Wednesday, March 10 by Captain


Making no apologies for one of the geekiest headlines ever.

If you know what it means, your pants just got a little bit moist - front or back, it's a personal choice.

The idea that the Battlestar Galactica universe could in fact be the background for a Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game is an idea so awesome that the greater percentage of Sci Fi fans have not even considered its possibility. However, it is an idea that stretches back through the mists of time - waaaay back to even 2007, even.

Min Un Bleck Three - Crazy Casting

NEWS Wednesday, March 10 by Captain


This is either great news, odd news, or disturbing news. Or it could be an 'internet rumour' which is a polite way of saying 'bull%&$'.

Websites bloodydisgusting.com and hollywood.com are reporting that Jemaine Clement (from Flight of the Chonchords and Gentlemen Broncos) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Ali G) are teaming up with Josh Brolin (Milk, No Country for Old Men) to star in Men In Black 3.

The script has been finished, and apparently the characters played by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are not in it.

That New Tron Trailer We've All Been Waiting For... is Here!

VIDEO Tuesday, March 9 by Captain


Whilst Avatar, Star Trek and co did well to represent Sci Fi at the Oscars, and giving Sci Fi fans a fulfilled sense of pride in the process, the entertainment machine rolls on - signified by the massive outpouring of net activity after last night's release of the Iron Man 2 trailer. We'll have that up in Spectrum in a jiffy - but in the meantime, you may wish to salivate about another upcoming film - the 3D Hypernerdfest that is Tron Legacy.

The first trailer was merely awesome. This one tells you a bit more of the story, which so far, looks pretty good. All the old faves (albeit updated) are all there. How cool do the Recognizers look? Very cool.
