ABC kills V, picks up Once Upon a Time and The River

Bummer! Guess we’re never going to know how V’s dramatic cliffhanger—in which Anna blissed out the human race—is going to turn out. In a flurry of programming activity, ABC canceled V, but picked up modern fairy tale Once Upon a Time and The River for their 2011-2012 television season. In

New Star Trek: Animated Series Being Planned?

Are you feeling bereft because Star Trek 2 is taking too long to come the big screen? Are you sorely missing seeing some Vulcans, Andorians and Orions on your TV screens? The good news is: we may get some new Trek again on TV. The bad news is: it may

Uh-oh! Those controversial robots from Transformers 2 will be back

We thought we were done with these two! Skids and Mudflap, everyone’s not-so-favorite offensive robots, will apparently be back for Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Michael Bay lied to us! He said we’d never have to see their mechanical faces again, but that wasn’t the whole truth. The Twins have

7 ways the Smallville TV series changed the comic book canon

Entertainment Weekly “NBC rejects ‘Wonder Woman'”

Steven Moffat reveals ‘how much I hate’ spoilery Doctor Who fans

And showrunner Steven Moffat has made it quite clear how much

Fox cancels Human Target, goes with J.J. Abrams’ Alcatraz instead

While Fox won’t officially announce its fall schedule until next week, it looks like the network has already made most of its decisions regarding what’s being picked up and what’s being canceled.

Hugo Weaving is back for The Hobbit (Ian McKellen says so!)

It’s been rumored for months, but now it’s confirmed: Hugo Weaving will once again play Elrond in Peter Jackson’s film version of The Hobbit. Weaving’s involvement in Jackson’s two-part adaptation of the Tolkien novel has been rumored for some time, but it was confirmed by fellow The Lord of the

What’s after Cowboys and Aliens? How about Dinosaurs vs. Aliens?

If you asked every 12-year-old kid what they’d make a movie about, they would almost definitely answer with either “aliens” or “dinosaurs.” But the really clever ones? The overzealous, crazy few? They’d make a movie featuring both. It seems Barry (Men in Black) Sonnenfeld’s inner child falls under that category,

12 wild and wacky patent applications that are weirder than sci-fi

Plato postulated that “necessity” was the mother of invention and we’ve always wondered—who’s the baby’s daddy?
