It has been confirmed by both the SyFy channel and Felicia Day herself that she is set to star in a new SyFy movie to be released in 2011. The movie, titled “Red”, is a re-telling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale with quite a twist.
In the action-packed Red, Red (Day) brings her fiancé home, where he meets the family and learns about their business – hunting werewolves. He’s skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him. Red also stars Kavan Smith (Stargate Atlantis) and Stephen McHattie (Watchmen). Red is produced by Angela Mancuso and Vesuvius Productions in association with Chesler Perlmutter Productions.
I have a love/hate relationship with the SyFy channel. I love them because they are always coming out with great new content for those who are huge Sci-Fi fans like myself. I thought “Tin Man”, the Wizard of Oz remake starring Zoey Deschanel, was phenomenal. I also am a huge fan of “The Dresden Files”. The hate part of our relationship has to do with the short lived run of Dresden Files which I felt could have gone on for at least 2 more Read More

James Marsters has been making the rounds doing interviews to promote his current run on the new Sci-Fi TV series Caprica. In these interviews, the topic of Joss Whedon and his role as Spike which catapulted him to stardom is a frequently discussed.
Marsters has stated that he loves the role of Spike and would definitely be up for reprising the role however Joss Whedon sees fit but the clock is ticking. When the Buffy TV series was drawing to a close and there were rumors about spin-offs, movies, animated series and a multitude of other potential projects; Joss approached Marsters and asked him if he would be up for those projects. Marsters comment to Joss was “I’ll follow you to hell or heaven.” That still stands as far as Marsters is concerned but he is beginning to have concerns over reprising the role of Spike. His concern stems from the ability to stay true to the character. Spike is a vampire, an immortal being who doesn’t age and Marsters believes that while currently it may be possible with lighting and makeup to give the illusion that his character has not aged after having been off-screen for closing on a decade, that window may be Read More
Coming Soon… Netflix will have Buffy The Vampire Slayer Seasons 1-6 available for streaming online through Netflix.
For all of you who do not own the series on DVD and don’t want to watch the series on MTV or LOGO and have to deal with commercials and/or want to blast through the series at your own pace.
If you are not already a Netflix member, I highly recommend it. I am a netflix subscriber and I really enjoy the multiple options Netflix provides. I get the normal DVD mail service, can watch movies and TV streaming on my Mac and since I have an Xbox 360, I can access Netflix Movies and TV through Netflix on Xbox Live. All of that for about $8 a month.
Just for full disclosure, this is not a paid endorsement by Netflix, I just really enjoy the Netflix services and think it is great that Buffy will now be available for online streaming. Read More
Let me preface this post by saying that I think this news is being severely over-hyped. Obviously, this could come back to bite me, no pun intended should this story play out to be true.
I am informing all of you about the latest rumors buzzing about the internet because I know many of you, like me, are clamoring to find out the who, what, when and where of Joss Whedon’s next project.

Since discovering the Hellmouth Podcast and re-watching Buffy from the beginning, I’ve decided to start taking notes on what has always stood out for me and the questions that I’d always had. So I thought I would share them here. Let’s start, as they say, at the beginning.
Buffy Notes and Quotes from Welcome to the Hellmouth
1) In the opening scene where Darla and her “date” (or late night snack if you prefer) break into the school is a great way to start the series. They just hit the ground running with the horror, action and humor and as a viewer I was pulled in right away. No matter how many times I see Darla vamp out, it’s still great.
2) After the opening credits, Buffy has a prophecy dream that should have warned her about Cordelia. What I find most interesting about the early interactions between Buffy and Cordy is that most times, Buffy seems to be suffering more at the hands of Cordelia than she is by any particular monster she is facing. Buffy can take most physical trauma that is thrown at her, her weakness (if you want to call it that) is her feelings. This continues well into the show. Angelus knew Read More

In case you haven’t heard, news has surfaced about Joss Whedon’s current project. Joss will be working with Morgan Spurlock who is most notably remembered for his documentary titled Supersize Me.
The two of them will be working together to create a documentary about comic-con. They will be selecting a small group of uber-fans and chronicling their preparation and attendance of comic-con the largest conference centered around comics and comic oriented film and television.
Whedon is no stranger to comic-con, he and his projects are often focal points of comic-con each year. His TV series have lead him to be a featured guest along with cast members holding audience panels, meet and greets and Q&As.
I myself have never had the opportunity to attend comic-con but all accounts are that it is a fantastic fan experience. I don’t doubt that Joss’ film will capture all of the enthusiasm, fanaticism and excitement that go into this conference. I for one can’t wait. Read More
