J.J. Abrams’ Bad Bad Robot Productions will stay with Paramount Pictures through 2013. Paramount recently locked the deal as an aggressive promotional push accelerates on “Star Trek.” Abrams directed and produced the film, which opens May 8. The studio first partnered with Abrams and producer Bryan Burk in July 2006. Their first venture was “Cloverfield,” grossing $170 million worldwide and leaving a doubtless sequel in its wake. “Star Trek” marks their second effort, followed by the Harrison Ford picture “Morning Glory,” which begins production this summer for a 2010 release. “Bad Robot was one of the first deals we made to help rebuild the studio,” Brad Grey said, Paramount Pictures chairman and chief executive officer. “J.J. has since become part of the fabric of Paramount, and …

One of the last pieces of the marketing mix for the new Star Trek movie is the official posters (all previous posters have been ‘teasers’). In the last day four European posters have shown up online. At first it wasn’t clear if they are real, but apparently they are. Check them all out below, plus [...]

Today, Leonard Nimoy is 78.  His thoughtfulness and dedication to his art is a big reason for the popularity of Spock.  He has entertained Star Trek fans for more than 40 years, creating a cultural icon with a character we are all delighted to see again on the big screen this year.  However, his career is more [...]

The moment I’ve been dreading has finally come. “Battlestar Galactica” is no more. Having been an avid fan of the show since TiVOing the miniseries on a whim all those years ago, I’ve been waiting patiently for the resolution of this amazing story for quite some time. But in the end, was it worth it? Yes and no. Part One of “Daybreak” was promising (click here for my review), but the conclusion to the finale was a mixed bag and for many passionate fans, it was a huge blow. There’s no denying the greatness of “Battlestar Galactica” as a series — each season has brought new and interesting concepts to the table, plenty of amazing action and superb character development. But for some reason much of what made “Galactica” such a one-of-a-kind show was thrown to the wayside with “Daybreak,” the …

The name “Syfy” may not exactly be one of the newest words to hit the English language (and certainly not in the Polish language, where it has some other not-so-nice translations), but it does represent what NBC Universal believes is the future of science-fiction fandom. After all the interviews SciFi Channel president Dave Howe did over the past couple weeks, he was finally able to spend some one-on-one time with me, who many (including myself) credit for actually creating the “Syfy” moniker, in a conversation that was both refreshing, enlightening, and really made an impression on me. Seriously. I know that some expected a conversation between myself and Dave Howe would come off like Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer, but it wasn’t that at all. Mr. Howe is most certainly the right leader at …

Sometimes, spoilers get out just too quickly. Back when Airlock Alpha was a spoilers site, we would always worry about releasing some spoilers too quickly for fear that the writers would go back and change it, or worse yet, those scenes would just get edited out. Luckily for us, the ending of “Battlestar Galactica” remained intact, just as we had predicted, but the same can’t be said for the upcoming “Terminator: Salvation.” It seems that spoilers leaking of the movie’s ending, where John Connor is killed but his skin is transferred to metal to keep the dream alive, got Warner Bros. in such a tizzy, they decided to change the ending again. Now we don’t know what the ending is. But it is testing much better with audiences, and maybe that might mean “Salvation” can be saved after all. …

There are many aspects of Star Trek that you might think are ‘required’ for a film to still be Star Trek, and in a new interview with SciFiWire, Star Trek co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman go into some detail about what made the cut and what didn’t, and why (including Shatner). See a summary [...]
