Tricia Helfer Interview - She's Coming To Perth This Weekend!
Tricia Helfer, living legend of the Sci Fi landscape, is now actually IN Australia. She was a guest of Supanova in Sydney at The Dome on June 16-17, and she'll be in to Perth, at the Claremont Showgrounds, June 23-24. If you didn't know that she is Six in what is generally regarded as the best Sci Fi TV series ever made, the revamped Battlestar Galactica, then you may not be as excited as your usual Sci Fi fan, and frankly, I'm a little disappointed in you. Tricia has guest-starred on Human...
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter Interview: Star Ben Walker and Writer Seth Grahame-Smith
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter opens in Australia on August 2. I was lucky enough to spend some time with Seth Grahame-Smith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and of course, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, and actor Ben Walker, who talked about the new film that blends the real history of Abraham Lincoln with the less real notion of him being a slayer of blood-sucking demons of the night. Seth wrote the screenplay for the film for producer Tim Burton, who he'd previously worked with...
'7th Day' - New Aussie Sci Fi Film Will Have Actors Live On Set
You may know that Ben Ripley is one of Hollywood’s brightest up-and-coming scriptwriting talents. His script for Source Code was on the Hollywood ‘Black List’ of best unproduced screenplays before finally seeing the light of day as a star vehicle for Jake Gyllenhaal. The film was directed by Duncan (Moon) Jones, but before he came on board, it was Shane Abbess, the Aussie director of Gabriel, who was working on the project with Ripley, with the then little-known Bradley Cooper set to star. It’s...
Prometheus Interview: Ridley Scott, Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender & Damon Lindelof
“What if you could meet God but God turned out to be the Devil?” So asks Prometheus Executive Producer Michael Ellenberg of the themes at the heart of Ridley Scott's first return to science fiction since his seminal work on Alien and Blade Runner. At the core of Scott's story are the eternal questions of human existence: who are we and where do we come from? As Michael Fassbender summarises: “It's basically about trying to find out if there was intervention in the birth of civilisation on...
Interview With An Exorcist
Yes, exorcists are real, and they help out on Hollywood movies. I had a fascinating chat with the Reverend Bob Larson, who has been sharing his expertise in exorcisms with the good people who created 'The Devil Inside'. He spoke of his 100% belief in the devil as a tangible evil and the proof that comes with performing 'fifteen exorcisms a day', which seems like a very busy and scary schedule. The idea that people 'just snap' to him is proof of demonic possession. He seems like such a nice...
Jon Favreau Interviews Harrison Ford For Cowboys & Aliens
Jon Favreau created a nerdnami this week by publishing seven interviews with Harrison Ford on YouTube. The subject was Cowboys & Aliens, but the style of interview was rather informal, revealing more of Ford than you'll usually see in his more traditional media interviews. There's some cool stuff in there for Star Wars fans, too. Here's what Favreau has to say about working on Cowboys & Aliens, and interviewing Harrison Ford (with more to come) about the film: "I still can't believe...
The Meaning of Life. According to William Shatner
William Shatner, the larger than life human being behind such iconic roles as James Tiberius Kirk, TJ Hooker and Denny Crane, turned 80 this year. He also visited Australia, travelling in a whirlwind convention and speaking tour. This was the first time he'd been down under for 11 years and he was a marvel for fans - energetic, humorous, and filled with stories, he truly is a man to show the world just how to live. 'Live it your way!' could be his catch cry, because Shatner's mix of horse ranching,...
JJ Abrams Interview: Super 8 and Spielberg
JJ Abrams returned to Sydney, one of his favourite cities, as part of a worldwide whirlwind of publicity for Super 8, his new film, out June 9. In it, he explores many themes, and we thought we'd explore some of them with him. As writer director of a movie that mainlines the movies of the seventies, and in particular the films that made Steven Spielberg the most successful filmmaker of all time, JJ Abrams was in the enviable position of working with his hero - as well as a new batch of actors who...
Joss Whedon Explains Angel
Joss Whedon's most famous creation is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but there are legions of fans who enjoy Angel, the spin-off show that stars David Boreanaz. In this interview, Joss talks about the creation of his vampire detective. The focus of the noire aspect of the show, and how the hero of the show really wasn't an analogue for its creator, but in fact a version of the people who used to beat him up at school. Joss also talks about reinventing the show each season, tearing his hero...
Brent Spiner, Star Trek TNG's Data, Interview Pt 1
When you think of Star Trek: The Next Generation, it's impossible not to think of Data. He's iconic, even more so, dare we say it, than Jean-Luc Picard. One of the most interesting ironies of modern Sci Fi is that the man who played him has no interest in Sci Fi at all - famously, he has hardly ever seen an episode of ST:TNG. Case in point - he's not sure of the name of the Emmy-nominated 'Best of Both Worlds' two parter. Before you get all huffy, do have a look at this interview. A fascinating...
