Hurst Returns To Direct More Seeker
Written by Ian Cullen on July 3, 2009 – 11:22 am -
To many Michael Hurst is best remember for his role of Iolaus in the 1990’s series Hercules The Legendary Journeys, in which he was the side kick to Kevin Sorbo’s Hercules.
These days Hurst is better known for his directing than his acting and last year won the hearts and minds of Legend Of The Seeker fans by directing some of the better episodes of the series.

Could Moonlight Rise From The Dead As Theatrical Movie
Written by Ian Cullen on July 3, 2009 – 9:09 am -
Many fans were shocked and somewhat ticked off last year when the romantic horror detective thriller Moonlight got canceled by CBS Television.
The series centred on detective Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin), who could solve crimes committed by vampires. He was dealing with his own issues with an ex, Coraline (Shannyn Sossamon), who turned him without his consent, and a 400-year-old vamp (Jason Dohring), who butted in with underworld politics. Of course vampire politics aside, the main crux of this show was the burdening romance between Vampire Mick and human love interest Beth Turner who was played by British actor Sophia Myles.

While it has been known for a while that Misha Collins (”Castiel”) will be a series regular, fans breathed a sigh of relief that Bobby (Jim Beaver) survived the season 4 finale and will return, as well.

Before “Fan Films” There Was ‘The Fanzine’ – Star Trek & Star Wars Fanzine Collection Acquired By University Of Iowa
Written by Will Stape on July 2, 2009 – 8:14 pm -Before loyal fanboys and fangirls donned replica Starfleet uniforms, wielded
toy lightsabers or squeezed their ample flesh into Batman tights, capes and cowls to bring forth the frenetic fan film, there was the pulpy goodness of the fanzine. These stories took sci-fi heroes like Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Darth Vader and broadened their back stories, pitted them in valiant battles and just generally had fun with sci-fi TV and film properties.

Michael Shanks On The Shifting Nature Of Stargate
Written by Ian Cullen on July 2, 2009 – 11:15 am -
The new issue of Stargate Magazine features an exclusive interview with Michael Shanks who is best known to fans of Stargate SG1 as Daniel Jackson. We have a few excerpts of this interview below, which have been provided to us by the good folk at Titan books.
Stargate Magazine: Since it’s been a while, how happy were you with how the two Stargate movies turned out?
Michael Shanks: I was quite content with the process of both. Continuum seems to be the favored one by the people involved. It benefited from the fact that we didn’t have to resolve any ongoing arc issues. The first one [The Ark of Truth] carried a lot of baggage in terms of resolving a two-year story arc. We built up this enemy to such a degree, there was so much story to tell, and they were such a fierce antagonist that to get rid of them over two hours was a bit of a conundrum. It seemed to be a bit of a quick convenient fix to have this device that you magically open and the bad guys go away. Continuum could stand on it’s own. It was a different story and there wasn’t so much exposition. Continuum also seemed to be a lot more fun. The visuals were quite fantastic, with filming in the Arctic and the use of the jet planes. The return of Richard Dean Anderson is always fun, as well.
