Sci Fi Is Going All Out to Promote Battlestar's Final Season
If you go to a popular sci fi website on Friday and find it blacked out, don't worry. It hasn't been shut down. It's just the site's little reminder that you should be watching Battlestar Galactica right then instead of killing time online.
Catch Up on Battlestar Galactica in Eight and a Half Minutes
Sci Fi's Battlestar Galactica is one of those shows that people always tell me I'd be hooked on instantly if only I gave it a chance. The show returns at the end of this month and, perhaps hoping to hook potential viewers like me just in time, Sci Fi has come up with an eight and a half minute summary of everything that's happened in the show's first three seasons, following in the footsteps of similar quickie summaries of The Wire, The Sopranos, and Lost.
I love that this clip starts basic: "A battlestar is like a great big aircraft carrier, but instead of airplanes, they've got Vipers and Raptors and other cool spaceships."

First Look: Sci Fi's Take on "Tin Man"
This winter, Sci Fi is putting a new spin on The Wizard of Oz. The network's six-hour miniseries, "Tin Man," is a dark reimagining of the classic story set in modern times. Zooey Deschanel plays DG, a girl with a fairly boring life who is suddenly thrust into a magical realm known as the O.Z., filled with odd creatures such as Glitch (Alan Cumming), who's missing half his brain, and Raw (Raoul Trujillo), a wolverine of sorts who longs for courage.

Joshua Jackson Sets His Sights on a UFO
Looks like Joshua Jackson is ready to take his sci-fi acting experience from Fringe to the big screen. The actor will star in UFO, a film adaptation of the British TV series from the '70s. Jackson will play leading man Paul Foster, a test pilot who must protect our planet from a new race of body-snatching extraterrestrials.
Brad Pitt Enters the Dark Void
Introducing Brad Pitt, computer game star: the actor's production company Plan B has signed off on a deal with Capcom to adapt the game Dark Void for the big screen with Pitt as the lead. Void follows a pilot who crashes in the Bermuda Triangle and finds himself in an alternate universe fighting off aliens intent on taking over the human race.
This seems more like Will Smith territory to me — I immediately think of something along the lines of I, Robot or I Am Legend.

Zachary Quinto to Raise Eyebrows as Leading Man in Whirligig
It seems I wasn't the only one to think that Zachary Quinto's Spock stole the hot man show in Star Trek last Summer. Quinto is attached to the upcoming indie film Whirligig, playing a guy who becomes friends with the adopted son of the woman he's pursuing.
Not only would this be Quinto's first major role post-Star Trek, but he'd be the leading man in a romantic comedy-drama.
Twilight Leads the People's Choice Awards Nominations
The 36th annual People's Choice Awards nominees are here, and last year's Twilight is leading the charge! American Idol's Kris Allen was among the announcers this morning for the nominees, which also include lots of nods for The Proposal — but of course, everyone's favorite bloodsucking love story landed in many categories, including favorite on-screen movie team.

Jake Gyllenhaal May Be Thrilling Audiences With Source Code
It seems so long since we've seen Jake Gyllenhaal on screen (2007 in Rendition, to be exact), so I'm glad that we're about to get a lot more of him. Next month we'll catch him in Brothers, then in the Spring all buffed up in Prince of Persia — and he won't be slowing down. Gyllenhaal is in talks to star in the sci-fi thriller Source Code.
