Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The sci-fi community is a tight-knit group. So it comes as little surprise that Teryl Rothery has been cast in the upcoming Babylon5 movie. Teryl Rothery is probably best known for her role as Dr. Frasier in Stargate SG-1.
In other behind-the-scenes soap opera news, we have spoilers of the casting sort: Continue reading “As the Sci-Fi World Turns”
The Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix teaser trailer is now up on Yahoo with plenty of viewing options for those not inclined to watch the teeny-tiny version on the Happy Feet website.
Carrie Fisher has had, if nothing else, an interesting life. Or, at the very least, a lot of excuses to buy formal gowns while introducing George Lucas at awards ceremonies.
She has decided that now is the time to share her funny on stage in a bit of a variety act.
If you’re in the LA area, let us know if you go see it!
It was our last, best hope for peace. And the station itself might have gone away. But there are apparently still stories to tell.
SciFi Wire is reporting that a straight-to-DVD production is underway for Babylon 5 to tell a couple more stories. Sheridan, Lochley and Galen are already due to participate.
I can see Beth preparing to get her hands on that sucker right now….
While we await progress on Aaron‘s Deadbacks, another film is progressing that is of interest to our readers.
David Hewlett‘s A Dog’s Breakfast will be having its first screening in Los Angeles on November 16th. The film stars many actors from the Vancouver sci-fi TV community; including most of the actors from the various Stargates.
In addition, anyone who has a dog will be quite amused (and rather disgusted) by the latest clip from the film.
We interrupt the exciting news about Helen’s upcoming book to break some sad (and probably not-so-surprising) news to the Durannies who frequent this page:
Andy Taylor is leaving Duran Duran.
Again.
I remember listening to an appearance of Andy and Simon on a local Atlanta radio station and Andy was none-too-pleasant. Simon sounded like he was rather exhausted trying to cover up for him.
I’m impressed they made it five years! And Duran Duran with Timbaland? Could be kinda cool…
Okay. Back to your regularly-scheduled geekdom.
As the producers of the Stargate franchise are fond of reminding us, Stargate SG1 has not been cancelled, it has only been dropped by SciFi here in the US. This, of course, leads us to a slight problem of how US fans will get their Gate in the future.
SaveStargate.com is trying to do some market research on alternate methods of getting your Gate. Give them your feedback.
In other Gate news, a transformed official website has gone up for the syndicated series (which is just starting Season 9). Lots of nifty behind-the-scenes stuff. New layout. Pretty pictures. Go check it out!
Raising the envy of Wantons everywhere, Michelle Williams not only scores Heath Ledger in her private life, but gets to star alongside both Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor in the upcoming film The Tourist.
It’s about a man who is seduced into joining a wild sex club and then framed for murder.
Vegas refuses to take bets on the odds that Ewan will end up naked in this one.
Far be it for Star Wars fans to not want to help keep all things Star Wars on the big lists. In our continuing effort to keep the beloved Flanneled One, George Lucas, out of the poor house, Star Wars fans ponied up countless dollars, euros, yen, etc, to put George Lucas at #70 on the Forbes 400 Wealthiest Americans list.
Whew! He’s safe for now….
I guess trilogies are guaranteed employment for an actor. Hopefully Hayden Christensen sees this as a good thing. His latest movie Jumper (co-starring another Star Wars alum, Samuel L. Jackson) is going to be a trilogy.
