Comics

Green Lantern's Power Ring

  • IGN has an interview with Michael Green, who co-wrote the Green Lantern film script.

  • John Christopher’s The Tripods Trilogy is being adapted for a film production, but for my money, the BBC got it right with their uncompleted miniseries.

  • Nick Nadel reflects that Heath Ledger Owes His Oscar Nomination to Superman.
  • SCI FI Wire has post a photo of the new T-600 from Terminator: Salvation.

Television

  • Check out a preview of the remake of The Prisoner, starring Jim Caviezel and Ian McKellen.
  • I object to anything from the CW being included in any list, but apart from a Smallville includion, Film.com gets it right with their list of the Best Sci-Fi Shows for Non-Science Fiction Fans.

Theater

  • Manhattan Theatre Source is staging a play based on Karel Capek’s classic 1921 play R.U.R., in which the work robot was originally coined, Universal Robots.
