New Syfy Shows! We finally know what Farscape creator Rockne S. O’Bannon was hinting at via Twitter a couple of months ago.  Syfy has picked up a show of his called Defiance.  The show is about a frontier planet that has been transformed using alien terraforming technology.  Humans and aliens are forced to learn to live together. The show will star Grant Bowler who will be playing a character named Jeb Nolan.  Nolan is basically the sheriff.  He’s a former Marine who fought in a war against the aliens.  He lost his wife and child because of the war. The show will also have an MMO associated with it being created in collaboration with Trion Worlds. Casey isn’t the first person to make the comparison between Defiance and Firefly. Production on Defiance begins April, 2012. Syfy has also announced that it has greenlit the pilot episode for a television series about time travel called Rewind.  The show is about a team of military field operatives and civilian scientists who travel back in time to alter past events in an attempt to prevent a deadly terrorist attack. And, finally, Deadline Hollywood was the first to announce that Syfy has expanded the next season of Warehouse 13 to 20 episodes.  The first three seasons of the show were all 13 episodes so this is a significant expansion of the series. http://scifimafia.com/2012/01/more-details-on-syfy-and-trion-defiance/ http://scifimafia.com/2012/01/syfy-gives-the-green-light-to-time-travel-pilot-rewind/http://www.deadline.com/2012/01/warehouse-13s-fourth-season-to-expand-to-20-episodes-with-7-episode-order/#utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter CW Announces Pilots It was a really good week for Rockne S. O’Bannon.  First the details about his deal with Syfy were announced.  Then, the CW announced that they had greenlit a pilot for another series produced by him.  The show, Cult, was originally created for the WB but the WB went under before they had a chance to make it.  It’s about a series of murders that the police are certain are being committed by the rabid fans of a tv show.  You see, the fans are reenacting the crimes that happened on the show. The CW also announced this week that they are picking up the Green Arrow.  It’s being written by Warehouse 13 alum Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim.  David Nutter will direct.  No word on whether or not Justin Hartley, who played the Green Arrow on Smallville, will be involved in the project. http://www.deadline.com/2012/01/the-cw-gives-pilot-orders-to-arrow-the-carrie-diaries-beauty-and-the-beast/ No More Star Wars Movies George Lucas has promised to never make another Star Wars movie again.  The announcement was made in an interview with New York Times.  Clearly too small a venue for such an important announcement.  But, alas … Lucas made this decision because he has grown weary of the criticism from fans.  Specifically, he said, Casey Shultz no 55:06 http://scifisurplus.com/2012/01/16/sfs-205-casey-has-a-hypothetical-affair-with-author-gini-koch/ http://scifisurplus.com/2012/01/16/sfs-205-casey-has-a-hypothetical-affair-with-author-gini-koch/#comments Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:48:31 +0000 Casey http://scifisurplus.com/?p=307 http://scifisurplus.com/2012/01/16/sfs-205-casey-has-a-hypothetical-affair-with-author-gini-koch/feed/ 0 Absolute Write Water Cooler,Big Bang Theory,Gini Koch,J.J.

I sent Vince off to do some crafting for me in Star Wars: The Old Republic and I’m really hoping he comes back with some stuff that will allow me to toughen up my shield generators. We’ve been talking about J.J. Abrams follow-up to Star Trek 2009 quite a lot on this show and I just want to let you know that Paramount had finally spoken up on the topic. In a press release they state all the stuff that we’ve been telling you about for a long time now. Now that we have this document in hand, we can officially say that Star Trek 2 is officially official. The release date is May 13, 2003 so make sure you clear your schedule. Here’s the cast from the press release. Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions present a Bad Robot Production of a J.J. Abrams Film. Returning to their posts on the Enterprise are John Cho, Bruce Greenwood,Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, and Anton Yelchin. They are joined by new cast members Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller. Now we can get to our featured presentation. Gini Koch is the author of the Touched by an Alien/”Kitty” Katt series of books about a woman who falls into the knowledge of aliens on Earth quite by accident and learns that they are very different from the tales we’ve been told. You can get all the information about Gini at www.GiniKoch.com including links to purchase her work and news about what’s going on in her world. I should probably tell you that this will be my second attempt to call her. The first try resulted in a new form of digital to analog to digital conversion feedback that will be the subject of a patent I will be filing later in the week. I may have injured both of our ears in the aural volley. Lets try to get her on the Temporal Temps hotline again now.

Akira Production Delayed … Again According to The Hollywood Reporter, the production offices for Warner Bros. live-action version of Akira have been shut down and most of the employees sent home.  The budget for the picture is currently at $90 Million and the executives have ordered the Director and Producers to go over the script and do what they can to reduce the budget even further. $90 Million is roughly half what was budgeted for the movie initially.  This isn’t a production that can be done effectively on a budget.  The news about Akira keeps getting dimmer and dimmer and reflects what a lot of fans have been saying all along.  Please don’t make this movie. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/akira-production-shut-down-budget-warner-bros-278729 Two Brits Join Star Trek Noel Clarke, probably best known for playing Mickey on Doctor Who, has joined the cast of the Star Trek sequel.  Not much is known about his role except that he will be playing a family man with a wife and a young daughter. Benedict Cumberbatch has signed on to play a villian.  Cumberbatch has most recently been in War Horse and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.  Another recent role of his, Sherlock Holmes on the BBC series Sherlock, had some controversy this week because a character was shown nude a little too early in the evening. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118048101 http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118048137 George R R Martin Teases Fans George R R Martin teased fans this week by releasing a sample of the 6th novel in the series A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that HBO’s Game of Thrones is based on.  The sample is available at his website, George R R Martin dot com.  Just click the banner at the top of the page that reads Ice and Fire Sample.  Caution though, the sample does contain spoilers. http://www.georgerrmartin.com/if-sample.html Zack Loses time in Arkham City Casey: There is a well-known bug in the game Batman: Arkham City, produced by Rocksteady Studios, that is causing the save data to vanish.

Kingsley is, reportedly, seeking the role of a legendary war hero who is presumed to be long dead (Mazer Rackham). Kingsley played George Melies with Asa Butterfield, who has been signed to play Ender, in Martin Scorsese’s Hugo. Hailee Steinfeld is in talks to play Petra Arkanian. It’s also been rumored that producers are seeking Harrison Ford to play Colonel Graff. Ender’s Game is scheduled to appear in theatres on March 15th, 2013. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ben-kingsley-enders-game-271571 CalTech Plays Prank Members of the CalTech Prank Club decorated the Alamo (Astor Place Cube) Statue in New York City to look like a Portal Companion Cube this past week.  The Alamo is already a cube, so it wasn’t a very complicated prank.  The decorations were held together with Aperture Science brand Hook and Loop fasteners and the city had them removed by 1 PM. http://gothamist.com/2011/12/14/caltech_prank_blankets_the_astor_pl.php RIP Joe Simon Joe Simon, the creator of Captain America, passed away this week at the age of 98.  DC Comics Publisher Jim Lee released this statement: “We lost another of the Titans this week. A creative virtuoso, Joe Simon will be best known for co-creating Captain America with legendary artist Jack Kirby but his many contributions to DC Comics, both as a writer and an editor, are legion and will continue to be cherished by longtime fans, this one included.

Scott is best known in SciFi circles as the creator of Blade Runner and the Alien franchise. The premise of the new story is a fight for humanity that begins with discovering the origin of humanity in the deepest reaches of space.
