Remember the times critics have said that they like it when films let the audience find the horror in their own imagination? To keep that latex monstrosity of a monster in the shadows lest we see it’s horribly unhorrifying latex moulded face? To keep that particularly traumatic scene off-screen so that we can think ourselves [...]
On the 5th August, Super 8 will finally hit our shores, riding on a wave of critical praise from the other side of the Atlantic. Its combination of eighties youthful nostalgia (Stand by Me, Goonies) and Spielgburg-esque science fiction (Close Encounters, E.T) looks set to titillate young and old alike. However, Super 8 also acts [...]
As soon as Avatar finished its super successful cinema run rumours emerged that the world hadn’t seen the end of the story, and that we were to expect a second chapter to Jake and Neytiri’s adventures in Pandora. The Hollywood Reporter has now announced that director James Cameron is getting ready to film not one, [...]
One of this past year’s hidden gems was Gareth Edward’s Monsters. Despite the overt nature of the title, the ‘Monsters’ in question only made the briefest of appearances, with the main crux of the story concentrating on the developing relationship between the two protagonists.The sci-fi element of the plot was really more of a backdrop [...]
Skyline was released last weekend (read Dave’s rather comical review here), and only just made it into the box office top five. This weekend, it is all set to disappear, and will fast become a distant memory. I hope, however, it does not get so easily forgotten by aspiring filmmakers, or even the current movers [...]

Well, it’s not a huge surprise, but it’s good to know that as well as overseeing the next Superman film Christopher Nolan has just confirmed that he will be directing Batman 3. Empire had the rather good fortune to catch Nolan in a chatty mood and here’s the all important confirmation, I don’t know if [...]
After waxing poetic about my love for The Expendables, and quite frankly, all things action yesterday I got to thinking about all of the different conventions that take place. After searching the Internet I found loads of different cons. Anime, Sci-Fi, Comic, Horror and more specifically, Star Trek and Twilight related conventions. I’ve been to [...]
Last week, Inception broke the $500m worldwide gross milestone. A big success story, to be sure, but after The Dark Knight’s $1bn+ number, it perhaps isn’t really a major surprise. It was even less of a surprise when it was revealed that Nolan would be at the helm for Batman 3 once Inception was done and dusted, [...]
Back in 2008, Ridley Scott announced that he would be working on a sci-fi movie entitled The Forever War, a film that he had been wanting to make ever since he released Blade Runner. Well, it seems now that David Webb Peoples, the guy who wrote Blade Runner and 12 Monkeys, is working on the [...]

Entitled Film Science: [...]

After collecting so many photos and videos from Wondercon 2010 of the costumes, I thought it was only fitting to make a montage of them!

Philip K Dick is just one of many successful science fiction novel writers from history. He is possibly the one who has had the most work adapted for the big screen however. The reason? His stories were exciting, compelling, and conveyed timeless messages that are still relevant today. Because of this, there are many who [...]
James Cameron’s Avatar has railed through box office records and Fox are basking in its afterglow with coffers overflowing and looking ahead to their next wave of cash courtesy of Pandora. The astonishing success of Avatar does have its drawbacks, primarily how to overcome the inevitable disappointment of the transfer, and loss of the all [...]
Avatar has just a become the second highest grossing movie of all time. It’s inevitable it will break Titanic’s record, becoming the highest grossing movie of all time, and will have done so in an astonishingly short period. James Cameron’s movie has united almost the entire industry in praise, with scores of positive reviews. Historically, the [...]
