The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five
23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby
Director: Beeban Kidron
Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.
Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.
Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

TV News: Stargate Universe Has Learning Curve While Picked Up For Second Season
16 December 2009 8:38 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
Stargate Universe has been renewed for a second season, MGM and SyfyChannel announced late last night (via Gateworld). A 20-episode season will begin filming in early 2010 for a fall premiere. Meanwhile, the second half of Season One will return in April. Work on the first episodes of Season Two is already underway in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the show’s writing team has hammered out storylines and already started writing scripts.
The first season of the new Syfy series from the long running franchise has had some new things never tried before by long-time showrunners and purveyors of the series and sometimes mistakes or concerns are made. Robert Cooper would be the first to admit it. In an interview with THR after the news of Sgu getting renewed for a second season, Cooper mentioned some of the learning curves he and the writing team have learned in the season 1 first 10 episodes. »

Syfy Renews Stargate Universe For a 2nd Season
14 December 2009 9:50 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Knowing how everyone is in love with Stargate Universe, I thought I’d share the news that Syfy has given the green light for a 2nd season of Sgu. It’s a 20 episode order… Please, stay calm folks.
Right now Sgu is in a very long mid-season break. It won’t return until April, so you have time to recover from the shell-shock you’ve been put through so far!
Screen Rant readers are not alone in their emotional angst about the show – that fact has been evidenced in previous Sgu articles we’ve posted. Sgu is a controversial issue with fans that have come along for a 15-year ride of Stargate and it has been noted that many aren’t too happy with this dramatic change of pace. (Would that be an understatement?)
Despite the core audience being tossed around by this new approach, it doesn’t sound like »

Updated: Syfy Renews 'Sanctuary' and 'Stargate Universe'
14 December 2009 9:33 AM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Congratulations are in order to the makers of Sgu: Stargate Universe and Sanctuary. Both Vancouver-shot shows have been renewed for another year, Syfy announced yesterday. That news will be a brilliant Christmas present to the cast and crew of these series, which have just gone on winter break.
Sanctuary's renewal for a third season of 20 episodes can be considered a tremendous achievement by its production team, which includes creator, writer and executive producer Damian Kindler, executive producer and star Amanda Tapping and executive producer, writer and director Martin Wood. The show began life in 2007 as an Internet series. Although it was critically praised and popular in that medium, the project proved to not be financially viable. However, it was picked up as a series by The Movie Network in Canada and Syfy in the United States and has continued to impress throughout its first and second seasons.

Stargate Universe, Sanctuary renewed
14 December 2009 12:51 AM, PST | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »
Buoyed by strong Friday night ratings on Syfy, the specialty cable channel has ordered full season renewals for Stargate Universe and Sanctuary. 20 episodes have been ordered for each show, thereby granting Universe a second season and Sanctuary a third.
According to Syfy (and related by The Hollywood Reporter to us), Sanctuary averaged 2.2 million viewers for each episode of its fall half-season while Sgu ticked higher with an average of 2.6 million (these numbers include online digital download viewings too.) The remaining 10 episodes for each series will begin airing next April, with the new seasons scheduled for broadcast in the fall of 2010.
Led by Stargate Sg-1 star Amanda Tapping, Sanctuary is an hour-long action fantasy that centers on a group of special individuals that protect the two worlds of normal humans and special creatures. Tapping serves as an executive producer on the series.

Exclusive: Producer Robert Cooper Talks 'Stargate Universe'
11 December 2009 9:25 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Stargate Universe hasn't had the easiest of starts. The fall finale, "Justice", drew the lowest ratings of the season and some critics and fans have given up on the series. We thought this would be a perfect time to reflect back to before the series even began, and to an interview with Robert Cooper, who, along with Brad Wright, is executive producer of Sgu.
Cooper has been tied to the Stargate television franchise since the beginning in 1997. He started as a story editor on Sg-1 but progressed quickly to become an executive producer not just on that series, but on spinoff Stargate Atlantis, two direct-to-dvd feature films and now Stargate Universe.
Last August, Cooper sat down with CinemaSpy in his office at Bridge Studios in Vancouver to talk about the new series, which premiered on Syfy (Space in Canada) in October. What follows are his thoughts about Universe at a »

TV News: CBS to Solve More Crimes With Anthony Zuiker’s Cyber Crimes
8 December 2009 6:31 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
I always wondered what War Games/Hackers the TV show would be like and I am not suprised it becomes something in the vein of a crime solving serial from the network that does it best, CBS. With concerns over cyber crimes growing in recent years, particularly when it comes to cyber terrorism this makes for an interesting show idea.
CSI creator Anthony Zuiker is developing Cyber Crimes for CBS. The project has been given a script plus penalty commitment. The hourlong procedural drama centers on a newly formed government agency that fights the modern onslaught of Internet- and technology-driven offenses. I like the concept and urge the creator to use a combination of those hip young MIT grads with the edgy punk hackers with old school cryptologists.
Zuiker created the project and will exec produce. Zuiker’s script goes one step beyond the government, which doesn’t yet have »

Exclusive Interview: Ming-Na (Stargate Universe)
4 December 2009 3:06 PM, PST | TVStar | See recent TVStar news »
Ming-Na is a sci-fi/horror/action/animation goddess. Okay, that's a bit extreme; we'll cop to that. But, even though most people connect her with the long-running series ER (TV) or maybe the films The Joy Luck Club or One Night Stand, consider her other credits: Terminal Voyage, Street Fighter, Mulan (she was the voice of the title character), Spawn, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, The Batman, Kingdom Hearts II, Prom Night, and Push. And now she's one of the stars of the latest Stargate adventure, Stargate Universe (TV). On Syfy's ensemble series, Ming-Na plays Camile Wray, who -- like her shipmates -- is stuck on a runaway alien spacecraft countless light years from home. "Justice," the mid-season finale of Sgu, will air tonight. PopStar recently chatted exclusively with Ming-Na about the show. During the interview, she previewed "Justice," talked in depth about her character -- who happens to be »

When A Sweet Potato Ain't A Sweet Potato

You have to eat, and sometimes you have to eat stuff you don't really like.That's what we get in this sneak peek from Friday's episode of "Stargate: Universe" airing Friday on Syfy. But that's not all that's going on. A member of the Destiny crew is found dead from a gunshot wound. At first glance, it looks like it's suicide, not surprising considering the predicament everyone is in. But the funny part is that there's no gun found anywhere near the body.The crew is confined to quarters and a search begins. To everyone's surprise, however, the gun ends up in Col. Young's (Louis Ferreira) quarters, making him the top suspect. Knowing that justice is necessary, Young puts himself on trial and transfers command of the Destiny to Camile Wray (Ming-Na). In the meantime, Dr. Rush (Robert Carlyle) »
Chico's Lunchbox could usher in a golden age of X Factor feature films
30 November 2009 4:34 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Welsh-Moroccan powerhouse is lining up a comedy à clef of his stripping days, while Susan Boyle's brother reckons Kathy Bates might be the woman for the Scottish singer's story
The Full Monty was a decent film and all, but it wasn't perfect. Where, for instance, was the troupe of irrepressible breakdancing children? Where were all the oddly patterned shirts? And why, for God's sake, wasn't Robert Carlyle's character a Welsh/Moroccan former goat herder with a catchphrase based on his profound inability to grasp the concept of chronology?
Well, fret no more. All of those problems are about to be ironed out. And, somewhat distressingly, Chico from X Factor is the one who'll be doing the ironing. He's co-written a film with a man who Wikipedia claims is his lodger. It's called Lunchbox. It's a "raunchy comedy about a stripping troupe on tour in Europe". It's based on Chico's own life. »

New TV Shows To Be Thankful for In 2009! ABC Brings Us 4 New Shows We Love But Fox’s Glee Takes Top Spot!
29 November 2009 5:34 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
Well ABC seemed to be out in the lead for having the most shows we were thankful for in 2009 with 4 of their new shows making our list. In second place was the USA channel with 2, while Syfy, Fox, HBO and NBC all had 1 on the list as well. I was surprised that CBS didn’t make our list but with so many already good shows previous to 2009 they didn’t have to add a lot to their programming schedule. Glee got our top spot while Flashforward barely made the list.
1. Glee
Couldn’t think of any other show to go here than this one. A complete surprise this musical dramedy series from of all people, Ryan Murphy, the guy who brought us Nip/Tuck. This series is a massive 180 from his repetoire but thats okay because we love it. Everything from the weekly musical selections, to the talented group of »

Stargate Universe Ratings: The Story Unfolds
29 November 2009 10:07 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
When Stargate Universe (Sgu) premiered on October 2nd of 2009, it brought in 2.3 million viewers. This included both parts 1 and 2 of the premiere. Part 3 of the premiere episode titled “Air” hit the peak of the ratings ride with just over 2.4 million viewers.
After that, the numbers declined slowly but surely until they bottomed out on November 6th with the episode “Earth” at a paltry 1.6 million viewers.
I believe this decline is a result of the franchise fans slowly but surely giving up on the show because it wasn’t the light-humored and quipping series they were all expecting.
We’ve seen the scathing remarks in various articles here on Screen Rant, where everyone is getting a “hate on” for Stargate Universe. In some of your opinions the show reeks, it’s boring, there’s no action, too much story – there’s an interesting perspective of wanting to get rid of the »

This review may contain spoilers. After an episode of time travel, we must accept that all problems are fixed, and that all is back to as close to normal on Destiny. Taking a step towards the dramatic edge that separates .Stargate: Universe. from its show predecessors, we return to what happens to the relationships of those on board the ship as well as of those that go back to Earth using the Ancients. stone technology, especially concerning Col Telford (Lou Diamond Phillips), Col. Young (Justin Louis), and his wife. While Eli (David Blue) tries to covertly solve the stargate issue of getting everyone back to Earth, Dr. Rush (Robert Carlyle) and others open more sections of Destiny and find an Ancient chair that connects to the neural network like the one that almost destroyed »
AlphaBits: Michael Shanks Set To Make Two Sgu Guest Spots
25 November 2009 1:44 AM, PST | AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news »
There's no such thing as too much Daniel Jackson, and as long as there is some Stargate series out there, Michael Shanks will be a part of it. Shanks has proven that statement true as he is set to appear in two more episodes of "Stargate: Universe," including the penultimate episode "Subversion" that will lead into the first season finale. Shanks will share screen time with Richard Dean Anderson, his former "Stargate Sg-1" co-star, according to TV Guide Magazine. However, that won't be the next time we see Shanks, according to GateWorld. Daniel Jackson will make an appearance in "Human," which will delve more into the background of our pal Dr. Rush, played by Robert Carlyle. "My character exists more as a figment of Dr. Rush's imagination," Shanks said. Both episodes will »
Why One 'Stargate' Fan Has Stopped Watching 'Stargate Universe'
24 November 2009 9:15 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
I am sorry to say that "Life" will probably be the last Stargate Universe episode that I watch. Like several members of CinemaSpy's staff, I am an admirer of the Stargate franchise. My enthusiasm for Stargate Sg-1 and Stargate Atlantis has reminded me of the excitement with which I greeted new episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation 20 years ago. For this reason I enthusiastically contributed to the coverage of Stargate Universe before and just after its premiere. When I was on Syfy's recent press tour of the Sgu sets a few weeks ago I was struck by the rapport, openness and optimism displayed by the cast and crew. Their infectious enthusiasm was more than merely an act for the media. Unfortunately, it won't be enough to keep me watching their show.
I think part of the problem I have with Stargate Universe comes from the concept. Call me an unimaginative traditionalist, »
