I sense a great disturbance in the Force….

Nathan Fillion’s New Movie
joe__gee writes, I saw the ad the other day on the Sci Fi channel: Nathan Fillion has a new movie, from Universal even. Although he’s not playing our favorite Browncoat captain, Fillion gets to wear brown clothing, and carry a firearm. That’s kind of shiny? Slither is due out on March 31st.

V For Vendetta Interview
chad writes, SciFi.com has published an interesting interview with the principle players of the upcoming V For Vendetta movie. The interviewees are Natalie Portman, James McTeigue (director), David Lloyd (illustrator of the original comic series), and Joel Silver (producer). They answer several questions, such as why the film wasn’t released on November 5th as originally intended, and also why the initial actor for V, James Purefoy, quit after three weeks of filming.

Observations from the Cassini spacecraft suggest that Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, may have cold running water. Below-zero water could, hypothetically, contain living organisms.

The Call of Cthulhu
The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society spent two years turning the eccentric author’s most referenced, least filmable short story into an original motion picture. Released in 2005, it has been making the rounds at conventions since. The Call of Cthulhu has been shot to resemble a film from the mid-1920s, when the short story first appeared.
Children of the Gods
Trekkie writes, Recently I’ve discovered an old idea applied to a new technology. Children of the Gods is a podcast, but unlike other podcasts it’s actually a serial episode of a sci-fi story. Currently there are three published episodes with a fourth coming due soon. Well worth listening too. Has great music backgrounds, sound effects, and voice acting.
Well, Bureau-crats, is this one worth watching?
Infinite Crisis #4-5
…I need the rest of the multiverse back… Worlds I can sift through like sand, one grain at a time, combining and mixing until I find it. Until I find the perfect earth.
–Alexander LuthorIf you’re from this earth it can’t be perfect,because a perfect earth doesn’t need a Superman.
–Superman to Superman
Infinite Crisis #1 began perhaps the most publicized “event series” in comic-book history. The story continued in #2-3 and, in #4-5, recalls more than ever the original Crisis on Infinite Earths: confusing and convoluted, but with clever touches, and an appearance by a possibly dying Flash with a warning to give.
The debate on the nature of comix incorporated in this series starts to focus on Superman. Alexander Luthor, meanwhile, plays god– and the ultimate fanboy.
