By Jeff, on December 5th, 2008 Well, my last sci-fi news post was a bit late, but all this news is at least recent-ish.
First off, two bits of Battlestar Galactica related stories:
The Sci-Fi channel has apparently officially given the green light to BSG spin-off “Caprica” with a 2010 kickoff.
The series, which will focus on the the Earthlike planet of Caprica as two rival families deal with, among other topical issues, the broader implications of their society’s emerging . . . → Read More: More recent sci-fi updates

Bryan Singer is in talks with writers for the next Superman movie, “The Man of Steel”. Unfortunately, we have to wait until after the Justice League of America makes its box-office run, but I’m excited to see the Superman Returns crew back at it. Singer has stuck to his previous promise of upping the action in this outing.

By Jeff, on January 5th, 2008 *BREAKING STORY* — Singer Out of Next Superman – Slice of SciFi
I know Bryan Singer didn’t make “Superman Returns” exactly the way a lot of people wanted, but it was still a great movie. And after his promise of more action in the sequel, I think the next film would have blown everyone away. The man knows how to make a film in this genre. To have him leave the project is a depressing . . . → Read More: *BREAKING STORY* — Singer Out of Next Superman – Slice of SciFi

By Jeff, on July 4th, 2006 This is a follow-up to my previous, spoiler-free post. I have a few observations about continuity problems in Superman Returns. Spoilers below! If you want to read it, take your mouse and click & drag from here until the end of the post.
In Superman II, Lois and Clark sleep together. In this movie Lois has a son, Jason, who is presumably five years old and who turns out to be Superman’s son. However, she . . . → Read More: Review: Superman Returns :: Spoilers!!
By Jeff, on July 4th, 2006 Superman is back.
Lex Luthor is back, too.
It’s really good.
But is it a triumph?
First, a little explanation: This movie is a sequel/restart. Back in the seventies and eighties, Christopher Reeve (who for many is Superman) starred in four Superman movies. The first, his origin and first meeting with Lex Luthor, and the second, his battle with three Kryptonian escaped convicts, were the only two well-received movies in the series. The current movie . . . → Read More: Review: Superman Returns
