Wow. Now this looks like fun.
Fall Sci-Fi Premiers
Thanks to Sci-Fi Wire for the dates (though I don’t really feel Desperate Housewives is really genre, Sci-Fi Wire does). I can’t really say I’m interested in any of the new shows. I may watch Invasion, but only because it’s on after Lost.

Review: Deep Space Nine Complete First Season
Today marks Star Trek’s 39th birthday. And with its present non-existent and its future looking frankly abysmal, let’s concentrate on the good times we once had, shall we.
Movie Discussion: A Sound of Thunder
This one’s getting universally panned. Pity, since it’s based on some classic Ray Bradbury. Anyone see it and feel like commenting?
Marvel to Produce Movies In-House
Along with changing their name to Marvel Entertainment (from Marvel Enterprises), the company has gotten financing from Merril Lynch to begin making movies in-house and then having someone else distribute them for a fee, similar to how Lucasfilm and Pixar (as of next year) work. Sci-Fi Wire has some more details. Titles that may be produced include: Captain America, the Avengers, Nick Fury, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Cloak and Dagger, Dr. Strange, Hawkeye, Power Pack and Shang-Chi.
MSNBC/Newsweek on the Set of "Superman Returns"
joe__gee writes, MSNBC and Newsweek this week have a peek at Superman Returns, which is due for a Summer 2006 release. The reader gets a little back story on the eleven year journey to revive the Superman franchise, and there’s a bit of reveal about the setup for this film.

Brock Peters Dead at 78
Versitile actor, and Star Trek vet, Brock Peters died Tuesday. Renowned in the acting community for his roles in such landmark films as To Kill a Mockingbird and Porgy and Bess, he is best known to today’s Sci-Fi audience for his roles as Adm. Cartwright in Star Trek IV and Star Trek VI in addition to playing Joseph Sisko on “Deep Space Nine.”
No stranger to genre productions, Peters appeared in Soylent Green and the original “Battlestar Galactica” miniseries.
His voice acting credits include “Pirates of Dark Water” and “Batman” as well as the NPR radio play for Star Wars where he voiced Darth Vader.
He was one of those truly “classy” actors that will be sorely missed.
