Today, we now have our very first look at what the actor looks like in the role and it's really, REALLY interesting. And kind of shocking. MORE

Angelina Jolie • Gravity

Angelina Jolie accidently kills the sci-fi blockbuster Gravity

Gravity was going to be a big 3-D sci-fi film billed as Cast Away in space, with Angelina Jolie playing the Tom Hanks bit (no word on what would Wilson would be made from). The problem is, Angelina doesn't actually want to be in the film, and now Gravity might never get made. MORE

Ron Moore

Ron Moore making a new Harry Potter-like fantasy show for NBC

Ron "Battlestar Galactica" Moore is creating a new sci-fi pilot for NBC, a show Deadline calls "an adult Harry Potter set in a world ruled not by science but by magic." Which really doesn't sound much like Harry Potter to us since Harry Potter is all about kids and magic, but we get the gist. MORE

5 big-budget sci-fi films that actually got their science right

Phil Plait is an astronomer and major sci-fi geek. He writes the Bad Astronomy Blog for Discover Magazine and is also the host of the Discovery Channel's science show "Phil Plait's Bad Universe." You can follow him on Twitter at @BadAstronomer.

My old friends know better than to go see movies with me. Sure, I always yell at the screen when a movie spaceship make a "whooshing" noise when it flies past, but at least I don't throw popcorn: At a prorated 10 cents or so per kernel, it's simply not cost-effective. But at my best I still mutter under my breath, and sometimes even take notes for my blog.

James Cameron • Piranha 3D

Piranha 3D exec rants about Cameron ranting about Piranha 3D

It's a movie that probably nobody should be fighting over in any way, but the producer of Piranha 3D is really really upset with James Cameron for calling his film "exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D." Why Cameron told that to Vanity Fair is anyone's guess, but producer Mark Canon is not amused. MORE
