Syfy Orders Pilot For New ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Spinoff Following Young Adama

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 06:30 PM PDT



In the Battlestar Galactica spin-off movie, Razor, we got a peek at William Adama (Edward James Olmos) as a much younger soldier.

A short while back, Syfy decided to go a little further with this, planning to create a small online series called Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, which would tell more stories of young Adama and his many trials and tribulations during the great Cylon war. But now things have changed.

Syfy was so fond of the script that they received from Michael Taylor, that they've now instead decided to film the online series as an entire pilot episode for what just might become a new spin-off TV series. The plan now is to begin production in early 2011 for a debut at some point in late '11 to possibly early 2012.

The pilot and possible show is said to take place 20 years after the events of Caprica, Syfy's current-running spin-off series which tells the story of the creation of the Cylon race, and about 40 years before the events of Battlestar Galactica itself. [...]

Steven Spielberg Set To Direct Machine Uprising In ‘Robopocalypse’

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 03:33 PM PDT



A while back, Steven Spielberg was interested in directing an adaptation of the unfinished science fiction novel from author Daniel H. Wilson, Robopocalypse. At the time, the director instead chose to take on his next project, War Horse, but it looks like Spielberg is now ready to return for some hostile robot takeover action.

According to sources, Spielberg has now committed to directing Robopocalypse as his next film. The director was so keen on taking this movie on, that he even began developing it and working on storyboards despite the fact that the book was incomplete and that he decided to do War Horse first.

The novel has since been complete and is scheduled for release in June of 2011, and The Cabin in the Woods writer/director and Cloverfield and Lost scribe, Drew Goddard, has been working on the script right along with Wilson as he finished up work on the book. All has now come together, making it a perfect time for Spielberg to step in and make it happen. [...]

DVD Review: Night Of The Demons (2010)

Night of the Demons

Night Of The Demons
Blu-ray | DVD
Directed by Adam Gierasch
Starring Edward Furlong, Shannon Elizabeth, Monica Keena, John F. Beach, Diora Baird, Michael Copon
Entertainment One
Release date: October 19, 2010

While today's horror filmmakers are either curbing the curse words for PG-13 teen-friendly flicks or increasing the realism for torture porn, Adam Gierasch brings us a fun, but spooky tale perfect for Halloween with his remake Night Of The Demons. This remake invokes the spirit of its predecessor -- the 1988 Kevin Tenney film of the same name -- by employing lots of blood and gore created mostly through practical effects. The two tales are similar in that party-goers unwittingly unleash a horde of demons on Halloween night, but the original film takes place in a mortuary where a séance releases the demons. Gierasch's version brings the Halloween party to modern-day New Orleans to a mansion with a mysterious past.

It's Halloween night and Angela Feld (Shannon Elizabeth) is planning the biggest party in town at the Broussard Mansion, a long-unoccupied New Orleans manse whose previous occupants went missing 85 years prior on the same night its owner, Evangeline Broussard, killed herself by hanging. In an effort to make some cash, Angela lures the paying party-goers to the mansion using its spooky history as bait [...]

Marvel Sends Spider-Man, Thor, Wolverine & More Into The ‘Tron’ Universe

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 07:56 AM PDT



Tron and comic book fans can rejoice because this winter Marvel is going to the Grid with their Tron variant covers.

Starting in November with Thor #617 the covers will feature characters as they would look if they were in the world of Tron. While these covers will have nothing to do with the content of the books, they are still pretty cool looking. This is one of the first signs from the Disney-Marvel partnership that started last year, the other being the two issue mini-series Tron: Betrayal which was released earlier this month. The mini-series follows Flynn and the birth of his son Sam. It also shows CLU taking over the Grid and the bond between Tron and Flynn.

We here at Geeks of Doom love these covers, and we have the cover images below for you the readers to check out and comment on.

Marvel has only unveiled ten covers but there may be more on the horizon as the movie draws closer to its December release date. [...]
