And the genre musical hits keep coming.
Repo gets a full trailer…
I’m still not ready to say that I think this is going to be good. The music isn’t grabbing me, and the images seemed cramped. But it’s a ballsy, interesting thing, and I applaud them for giving it a try.
The New York Times pays some attention Russel T. Davies, and brings to the masses what was once a cult phenomenon:
In the last three and a half years he has built “Doctor Who,” “Torchwood” and another spinoff, “The Sarah Jane Adventures,” into Britain’s most successful homegrown drama franchise. Mr. Davies recently announced that he would step down as executive producer and head writer of “Doctor Who” at the end of 2009, in order to pursue other projects (he won’t say what they are). But at a time when young audiences are fleeing television for the Internet and other hipper media, “Davies has made family television cool again,” in the words of The Guardian.
I’ve talked about the character here before, and I will soon again.
Sometimes Science Fiction doesn’t have to be a story.
Sometimes it can just be an object:
I mentioned this strange Vin-Diesel picture a while back, and there’s a second trailer for it now:
It seems to be falling more into the realm of “weird euro science fiction” category.
But maybe not this weird:
I’ll be following up my previous post on Doctor Who with a more in-depth discussion next week, but I wanted to take note that the shows best writer, Steven Moffat, has just become the head writer for the next season. There’s always a risk when someone new comes on board a show that the magic will be broken, but it should be a good thing for fans of the more serious sci-fi elements of the series.
