Doctor Who star Matt Smith is to exit his role as the Doctor.
|
 Source: BBC
Doctor Who star Matt Smith is to leave his role as the Doctor at the end of this year, the BBC has announced.
Smith first stepped into the Tardis as the 11th Doctor in 2010. Taking over from David Tennant, he was the youngest actor to play the role. After four years as the Time Lord on the BBC One show, viewers will see Smith's Doctor regenerate in the 2013 Christmas special. The 30-year-old actor said working on the show had been "the most brilliant experience".
Doctor Who marks its 50th anniversary in November with a special episode, which Smith has already filmed. The BBC said Smith's "spectacular exit" was yet to be revealed and would be "kept tightly under wraps".

 Defiance - Upcoming New Sci-Fi Series
"Defiance" -- The series is set in the near future in the year 2046, where aliens known collectively as Votans have come to Earth seeking a new home after their solar system was destroyed. However, when they reached Earth they discovered that despite a prolonged negotiation with the government on Earth they were not welcome. Rather than turn away, they began a war with the humans as they are determined to make Earth their new home. During the war, the Votans drop terraformers on the planet and transform the surface of the planet; scorching the earth, opening chasms in the ground and covering the surface of the planet in dust and debris. After decades of war, a ceasefire is declared when both side realise that they must focus on survival on this new almost alien planet. The series largely revolves around the character of Joshua Nolan. Joshua was only ten years old when the Votans arrived and he served in the military during the war. With the war now over, he returns to his hometown of St Louis to find that its is no longer the city he left; it is little more than a refugee camp. Deciding that his services are needed, Joshua takes up a position as the Chief Lawkeeper in Defiance, so he can protect the town from dangerous clashes between humans and aliens, military scavengers and others dangerous visitors who occasionally enter the town.

Independence Days sequels
|
 I have come across some more information about ID 2 & 3.
Independence Day's upcoming sequels will take place 20 years after the original film, director Roland Emmerich has revealed. Emmerich and co-writer Dean Devlin.has completed the script for two sequels to the 1996 Sci-fi - titled ID Forever Part I and ID Forever Part II
The Amazing Spider-Man's James Vanderbilt has now been handed the script for a rewrite, Emmerich told Entertainment Weekly. Speaking about the overall plot of the sequels, he said: "The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back. And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes. So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that's 20 or 25 years."
He continued: "It's a changed world. It's like parallel history. [Humans] have harnessed all this alien technology. We don't know how to duplicate it because it's organically-grown technology, but we know how to take an anti-gravity device and put it in a human airplane."
Emmerich added that the first part would end on a cliffhanger to set up the third instalment, and that it would mainly feature new characters.
He said: "It's still some of the same characters, but also new younger characters; it's a little bit like the sons take over."
Will Smith, Jeff Goldbum and Bill Pullman starred in the original film, which centred around an alien invasion that took place on America's annual Independence Day holiday.
The film grossed over $816 million (£520 million) at the box office worldwide. Bill Pullman recently confirmed that he will be involved in the project, while Will Smith has yet to sign up.

Trek pn TV after the 2nd Movie?
Ever since 2009's Star Trek hit the big screen, there's been vague talk about a possible return for Star Trek to the small screen or direct tp DVD. It's rumoured that Roberto Orci who is a writer-producer on the rebooted film series, is indicating that a TV show is slowly inching closer to becoming a reality.
"The relevant parties haven’t sat down in a room together, but they have sent messages through intermediaries," says Orci. "So [we're waiting until] after [the 2013 Star Trek sequel] comes out or as it's ramping up and after the powers that be determine whether or not Star Trek is back or not -- one movie doesn’t make a trend. Two movies starts to indicate that there is a trend and it's viable. It will become more real as the year goes on."
Orci also says that if such a show does happen, it would probably be animated and feature the J.J. Abrams rebooted version of the USS Enterprise crew.
"It is less cannibalizing," he says of an animated show versus live-action. "I would like to see an animated series the most. When I think about it, it is the most different than what we are doing and still … the most in line with it. So I would like to see an animated series."

Meteors sighted in skies across Scotland, Northern Ireland and where there was clear skies over England.
People from across the UK have reported seeing bright objects in the night sky, thought to be meteors.
Coastguards in Northern Ireland took calls from people who saw the objects from Coleraine on the north coast, to Strangford Lough in the south east. Sightings were also made in Dublin.
The lights were also seen in parts of central Scotland including Grangemouth, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Independence Day II
|
As you may or may not know, there is speculation that there is going to be a second Independence Day. Known as *Insert dramatic music here* Independence Day II. Yeah, I know.
The story line, if it is true and not just speculation, will be a prequel detailing what the lives of the main characters where like before the alien attack. This, in my opinion, would not be a very compelling story line seeing as the one of the characters is an 'Exotic Dancer' (Posh word's for Stripper). Now, that's not very Science Fiction-ey, so to speak, is it?
But who am I kidding, I would still probably watch it because I love alien movies and I am a fan of Will Smith and Bill Pullman. Speaking of Will Smith, there is also spectulation that I Am Legend II is also in the pipe lines. This movie also being a prequel. It seems to me that Will Smiths carer now consists of acting in sequels and prequels, being that his last stand alone film was Seven Pounds and his new films are/going to be: Men In Black THREE, Independence Day TWO and I Am Legend TWO.

Scifi News!
|
 I am happy to report a show that has not been cancelled!
Fringe has been given the green light for the final season 5 that will consist of just 13 episodes where the show will be wrapped up with a decent ending that will please the fans.
I am also happy to report that Stargate-SG1 may be making a come back but here is the question?
Will this be a show reboot from the original StarGate 1994 film by Roland Emmerich or will the show continue on from where the last film ended and what about SG Atlantis being on earth?.
More news about this can be found on Gateworld.net.

TERRA NOVA Canceled!
|
 After days, weeks, months of speculation if FOX would bring back their big budget prehistoric adventure - Terra Nova has been officially canned.
The question asked a few months ago if Terra Nova was a disappointment. Gathering responses from here, Twitter, Facebook, and just the internet in general – it seems to be a solid 50/50 split. Some thought it had creativity and could only get better if it had a second season. Others (like me), felt it was just another show built up from hype only to disappoint.
Seriously, a dinosaur was sent to the future to help save the past? Or was it a dinosaur was sent to the present to help save the present from the past destroying our future?
Terra Nova produced decent enough ratings for a scripted show, but for its budget and overwhelming expectations, it was likely best for FOX to dispose of it. Think of this as a positive though. With both House and Terra Nova not returning, it can only help out Fringe. With the possibilities of syndication after a potential season five, Warner Bros. is likely to offer Fringe at a discount price to FOX.
Granted, the money budgeted for both House and Terra Nova will probably go towards next seasons new pilots (please, not another Seth MacFarlane show), but one could only hope.
Are you sad to see the dinosaurs die off yet again? What was in the Badlands? What is to come of Alcatraz now?
