It’s clearly time to retire any variation on the word “reborn” when it comes to geek marketing. I mean, at least DC Comics’ Green Lantern: Rebirth and The Flash: Rebirth were being semi-literal – the characters were dead, and now they’re not. And, I guess, Marvel Comics’ Captain America Reborn made sense because people thought he was …
I have no idea what this is new video is advertising, but it’s either entirely awesome or completely ridiculous. I can’t quite decide yet.

Quite what prompted this 1990s-esque remake of the franchise is, as yet, unknown, but I suspect multiple viewings of Se7en. Still, I like the …
Surprising many, superhero TV series Misfits won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award for Best Drama this weekend. So why hasn’t it made its way to the US yet?
Misfits isn’t exactly a British version of Heroes; as the official website explains, its superpowered protagonists (who gained their powers after being struck …
If there’s one thing that this weekend’s (American) Doctor Who demonstrated, it’s that love conquers all – and if it doesn’t, then suicide is a perfectly good alternative. No, wait, I mean, that the Doctor likes young people and will happily kill them off if they dare love someone else. No, that’s not right, either. Maybe what we should …
Ending almost a year of speculation, the BBC has announced that Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood will return for a new ten-episode season with both John Barrowman and Eve Myles reprising their roles as Captain Jack and Gwen… but, in a surprise move, it’ll take place outside the UK.
The new season will be a co-production between the …

World Events Productions, the company that owns the rights to the giant robot defender, announced today that not only will Nicktoons premiere a new animated series called Voltron Force, but …
Terrifyingly, Heroes isn’t entirely dead after all. Creator Tim Kring is already talking about what he plans for the potential wrap-up miniseries he’s discussing with NBC, and it sounds… well, like more of what killed the show off in the first place: Apparently, he wants to jump forward a year following the end of the show’s fourth …
Marvel Comics is about to test the potential strength of its digital audience by releasing both print and digital versions of the same comic on the same day for the first time. Marvel announced today that June 30th will see the release of Invincible Iron Man Annual #1 as both one 80-page comic book in direct market stores across the US …
Marvel’s movie Avengers are continuing to take shape at a rapid pace. Alongside leaked concept art showing how Captain America and Thor will look in their movies (Pretty much like their Ultimate and regular Marvel Universe comic counterparts, respectively), it’s looking as if The Hurt Locker‘s Jeremy Renner is about to sign on as the …
If you’ve been wondering just how quickly James Cameron could turn around a sequel to the massively successful Dances With Smurfs – No, wait, I mean Avatar – then the answer appears to be “much sooner than it took him to follow up Titanic.”
James Cameron apparently told the All Things Digital conference that his next movie may be the …
Hey, I’m not the one suggesting it; I’m just asking the question after reading these comments from BSG showrunner (and former Star Trek writer) Ron Moore:
I think a lot of Battlestar was born at Deep Space Nine in that Deep Space started as much more episodic because of the nature of the show, it became more a continuing serialised

Will Peter Jackson choose himself as the replacement director for The Hobbit now that Guillermo del Toro has jumped ship? It depends on who you ask. For his part, Jackson seems to be suggesting it’s a possibility, telling a New Zealand interviewer, “If that’s what I have to do to protect Warner Brothers’ investment, then obviously …
