Lost Girl Recap S2E3: Scream a Little Dream

Poor Kenzi, house cleaning doesn’t agree with her, as she and Bo try to clean away all traces of Dyson.

An elderly lady, freaks a little, before knocking her melon pretty good. The bellman notices that all of the old people seem to be sleepwalking. This may just be what Bo needs to get herself out of her funk.

A whole lot of sugar later, the bellman, Frank spills the beans. He’s fae, and he’s suppose to be caring for the folks in his building, but the people inside are suffering from some brain mush. The Ash can’t be bothered with these little problems, and so Frank has come to Bo to save the day. She agrees to strap on her cape and come to the rescue. Kenzi tells her that if they ever made some money, they could actually hire a cleaning lady, but Bo is all selfless. Or mostly selfless, and she calls Dr. Lauren to come make a housecall, as Kenzi makes herself scarce.

Kenzi pays Trick a little visit, and vents all about her lack of clean house issue. A eavesdropping Brownie overhears her, and he sounds like the answer to all her prayers. She asks for the lowdown, and Trick makes him sound pretty harmless. Kenzi happily takes him home.

Dr. Lauren and Bo play doctor, and so far there’s nothing conclusive. Bo questions Lauren’s position, but there’s no reason to break out the champagne yet.

Bo has no news, only exhaustion, and she’s a little startled by her new housemate, the Brownie, Mumphert! Mumphert gets to doing the housework, and Bo has a late night visitor. As far as late night visitors go, at least this one has the courtesy to shower before reeking mayhem. But the only mayhem he’s here to reek is on her body. Dyson looking all insanely hot invites her into the steamy shower, and Bo goes. It’s all sexy time until he scratches her,  and rips her heart out. Bo is having one crazy dream, and her cries bring Kenzi a running. Something is feeding on her, and when Kenzi tries to cleave her in two, it disappears.

Downstairs the house is immaculate, Mumphert is not only a cleaning god, he makes a mean pot of joe, the only downside is he ate all the honey berry crunch cereal. Bo goes to investigate her mystery lady, which leads her straight to Trick, the fount of knowledge. He tells her it’s a mare, not one that goes all neigh, but rather a night-mare, a type of dark fae that feeds on bad dreams. Mares aren’t usually so toxic, and Trick warns her away as he does a little research.

Bo heads over to Dr Lauren for a little diagnostic. Bo and the Mare have established a connection, a two way street, which is unheard of. So Bo, is far more awesome than was first thought, and of course more powerful.

Mumphert turns out to be even more awesome, landing Kenzi some limited edition couture. He really is the answer to her prayers. He reminds her that they’re out of cereal, and she gets a little short with him when he reminds her to grab some cereal. Come on girl, go get the man some cereal, but of course with that eye roll, she’s not going to heed Trick’s warning, and not take the Brownie forgranted. I would kill for a Brownie.

Dr. Lauren looks for some nasty pills, made from odd ingredients. Bo wants a little bedtime story, but its really never the right time. The new Ash comes in in all his jackass glory. Dr. Lauren has been hiding things yet again as she falls to her knees. Bo takes offense to Lauren being called property, but when the Dr. asks her to stand down, there’s nothing more that she can do. The Ash having made his point leaves.

Kenzi tries to keep Bo awake, but the girl is grumpy! Rather than guzzling more coffee, Trick suggests getting a Baku, which eats bad dreams. Unfortunately that means going to the new Ash to request an audience. In the Ash’s waiting room she has a little nightmare, and the Ash awakens her. Bo fumbles a bit in her delivery, asking to speak to Lauren. The Ash denies her request, moves straight into the first date chitchat. Bo reveals that she took on Frank’s problem, but the Ash has never heard of Frank, and Bo has been duped.

Kenzi shakes her groove thing, and is less than pleased with Mumphert’s current performance finding clothes in her pot, and everything looking less that spotless. His campaign of mass annoyance is taking his toll on her, and he’s being just a little childish, but she still hasn’t gotten the man any cereal!

Bo pays Frank a little visit, and she’s less than shiny. He deals with her easily, blowing a little sand in her face, and carrying his prize away. In Trick’s bar all her friends are happy to make plans without lil miss buzz kill, Bo, and poor girl is stuck in her chair. What a sucky dream, but it could be worse. The mare returns, and gets a little handsy, and Bo doesn’t even try to stop her. She’s forgotten who she is, as everything goes all dark and crumbly, even herself. Frank the Sandman is there when she awakens, and though he feigns innocence, it doesn’t stop Bo breaking his chair, or him a little.

Kenzi returns with a giant bag of loot, and comes home to find him in her clothes. He felt abandoned and unwanted, when all he wanted was a little gratitude, and Kenzi shows him just how grateful she is with a whole duffle of Honey Berry Crunch. Once his feathers are unruffled, she has a request in mind, a Baku, not just the pelt.

Bo feeds on Frank and gets down to the skinny. He’s squatting in light fae territory, and he’s doing it all for Connie. She needed a fae to eat, and she can’t eat a sandman who never sleeps. Being so close to Frank puts Bo back into a slumber, and a very pregnant Connie berates Franks loose lips. The couples bickering awakens Bo, and she gets away before they can make a meal of her. Stumbling down the hallway, Bo struggles to stay awake making it to the elevator. She calls to her anchor, Kenzi for help, and Mumphert delivers just in time. Bo decides to turn the tables on the Mare, and go to her home in the basement.

She sees an older version of herself, crying over how beautiful she is. Spilling the fates of all of her friends, of Kenzi’s death, losing Dyson’s and Lauren’s love. She struggles with herself, her elderly self desiring human touch, but its all an illusion. Kenzi and company come to the rescue, and the Baku wraps her in a hug, making the old version of herself fall away. Dyson materializes, and she’s prickly about his presence. He tells her he wants to be with her, but she’s confused. He offers her heart’s desire if she stays with him, but although the Baku has eaten the scary dream he can’t bring her out. She’s trapped. Kenzi begs her to hear her, even though the Baku tells her that she can’t. Bo kisses Dyson, and stabs him through, telling him goodbye. She returns to Kenzi, and thanks the Baku, and sets him loose on the rest of the apartment building. She may be free, but she’s still linked. They break in on the Mare about to deliver.

Bo goes to the Ash and fills him in on everything. He’s not exactly grateful. He offers her a position, which she nicely declines.

Mumphert decides to leave Kenzi, because the Baku needs her more. She doesn’t want him to leave, but she lets him go, sending him away with all his cereal. Bo prepares to get some much needed slumber, and Kenzi prepares to take watch.

DEVIL'S DUE HAS RETURNED‏



PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


DEVIL'S DUE RETURNS IN 2012


 Website Relaunched

Company Geared for Fusion Publishing
Project Rectify to Eliminate Talent Debts

CHICAGO, IL: Following the announcement last week that Devil’s Due Publishing and Diamond have resolved a two year dispute, and unveiling the newly christened Devil’s Due Entertainment’s plans to begin releasing products to comic book stores in 2012, company founder Josh Blaylock has released the following statement:

“Devil’s Due returns from the wilderness to a much different, and I think more exciting world of publishing. The old methods have changed and success now requires one to produce content in different media, not just one, and to sell through multiple channels - what I call ‘fusion publishing.’ But whether we’re printing, selling on iTunes, or funding projects through crowdsourcing, all of which Devil’s Due will be immersed in, these paths converge to help us meet the first priority, which is taking care of the remaining talent bills of the old DDP company.

Thanks to our new distribution abilities, and the eradication of some huge debts, a big weight has been lifted off of the company’s shoulders, making that goal much easier to achieve.

Our new line-up will be a small roster of high quality projects, but we’re treading cautiously. A decade ago licensed properties propelled the original DDP to the top, yet they did not do much long term. That is not how I wish to do things in the future, because chasing licenses to keep overhead and employees paid creates a vicious cycle. I’m still game to produce licensed goods that I’m passionate about, but there are now many more ways to cultivate a fanbase for original properties than there were 10 years ago.

Behind the scenes, in the past couple of years, I have been able to personally negotiate and reduce the old DDP’s debts of over a million bucks by a sizable six figures, but a large debt remains that is creator-related. Now though we will be able to distribute products and focus 100% on the creators, and I think, comic-community willing, we’ll be able to garner enough support to squash this debt once and for all.

I think we can do it within a year.

So long as any debt exists the Project Rectify label will accompany all products. People will know when they buy a PR labeled project, profits are going to help right that situation.

After Project Rectify has achieved its goal, if the industry will welcome it, I am looking to continue this imprint as a way to help other talent that find themselves hurt by defunct publishers, of which there are many, and I humbly hope that we can garner the support we need to achieve it. I’ve been here since 1996, Devil’s Due almost as long, and don’t plan on going away any time soon.”

Retailers and fans anticipating the relaunch of Devil’s Due may expect a publishing line-up to be released shortly, and some projects may be previewed at the newly re-launched www.DevilsDue.net.

ABOUT THE NEW DEVIL’S DUE: Devil’s Due Entertainment is an incubator and producer of pop culture content. As cartographers drawing the maps in an uncharted world of new media, Devil’s Due brings together a vertically integrated platform to develop stories and fantasy worlds, and implement the circulation of that content. In addition to its own creations, the company is servicing the needs of its partners who want to draw attention to and monetize their brands in the pop culture space.

Prometheus says Suck This Fans


Well, it looks like at least one crew member won’t make it home, or will he/she?  Ridley Scott has kept us guessing for months whether Prometheus is a prequel to Alien or not.  Though he says no, we have found out there is a tie-in to the Alien franchise with the robot/cyborg creator, Weyland Industries. 
SPOILERS:
The new international trailer for Prometheus offers more views of what we can expect.  I suspect these may not the aliens we’ve seen before, but it appears Ridley has included a new, more terrifying face sucker plus an eye worm. Eww, gotta love that. There's also a glimpse of what looks like the dead alien and it's chair for the beginning of Alien.  One thing is for sure; Prometheus will increase your heart rate, terrify you, and make you think twice about visiting a strange planet in hopes of finding alien life forms.  “Big things have small beginnings.”

True Blood Season 5: Waiting Sucks Teaser - Eric/Pam

Waiting for the new season of True Blood sucks, and the only thing that sucks more is waiting after seeing a clip like the one below.

Our favorite maker and progeny are on very shaky ground. Russell has been released, and Eric thinks Pam is to blame. Feeling hurt and betrayed Pam asks for Eric to release her if he truly believes she betrayed him. Please Eric, don't release her. I adore Pam, far more than Sookie. Plus Pam gets the best lines.

Game of Thrones recap: The Ghost of Harrenhal

Catelyn sits with Renly, She tells him that Robb has no interest in the iron throne. He tells her that he will allow Robb to remain King of the North so long as he swears a fealty to him, the same that Ned swore to Robert, and then together they will fight the Lannisters. Catelyn begs him not to war against his brother, to reconsider, but he will not. The red priestess’s shadow slips in and kills Renly. Brienne is accused of killing the King, and she slays everyone. Catelyn urges her to leave, the only one who saw what really happened, and steals her away.

Littlefinger watches the approaching boats. Margaery urgers her brother that they must return home. Loras mourns his lover’s death, and he will not listen when Littlefinger urges him to leave if he wishes to avenge Renly, and even Margaery tells him that he cannot avenge him from the grave. Loras prepares to leave. Margaery looks over her dead husband, of all the possibilities lost. Littlefinger calls her your grace, and she corrects him, telling him her aspirations. Margaery wishes not to be a queen, but The Queen.

Cersei and Tyrion talk about the current events, who killed Renly and such. Cersei is happy over whoever did the deed, but Tyrion is looking at the bigger picture. Renly’s death united many under the Baratheon banister, and without the divide, there is only one target now, them. Cersei is hostile as always, not wishing to talk to Tyrion about anything. Cersei has something big up her sleeve, and she doesn’t wish to share what the “king’s” plans are with him.

Tyrion speaks with the cousin, Lancel, the one who was stupid enough to start sleeping with Cersei, and he tells him that Cersei plans to use Wildfire. Tyrion is trying to get as much information as possible, and without much pressure Lancel sings like a canary, revealing every detail of Cersei’s plan to use Wildfire against Stannis, and there is already a large cache of it.

Davos gives Stannis his condolences. Davos fears what he saw. All of Renly’s bannermen have joined Stannis, all but the Tyrells who have fled. Davos fears what will happen when news of Melisandre’s involvement comes out, that if she is there when King’s Landing is taken it will be hers. Davos’s words fall on deaf ears.

Tyrion witnesses quite the public soapbox, speaking all of the truths. Tyrion finally admits outloud that the king is a lost cause. He likes what he hears,  unrealizing that he’s the demon monkey the man speaks of. Bronn admits that the people think that Tryion is pulling Joffery’s strings, when in reality Tyrion is the only sane one, trying to save the people.

Theron readies his men to sail. The men don’t take lightly to Theron as their captain. He has yet to earn their respect, and yet he commands them like he has. Yara steps in and mocks Theron, she knows these men, and she has actually earned their respect. His first mate comes and tells him how he can win his father’s approval, and perhaps he’s found a friend.

Arya listens in on Tywin’s council. They’re trying to come up with ways to stop Robb. Despite the reports of discontent, Rob is a good and strong leader and he’s proven it time and again. With winter closing in, Rob’s advantage grows larger. Rather than coming up with a game plan they beg to sleep. Tywin lets the first bellyacher leave, and then focuses on Arya. He gets information on Arya, she fubs the truth just a smidge, and is caught at first, Tywin lets her try again and she does much better so that she does not give away her true identity. Arya talks up Rob, and his legend. When Tywin challenges, she doesn’t flinch or back down, and tells him that “Anyone can be killed.” She gives him wolf eyes, and he sends her off to fetch water. She comes face to face with Jaqen H’ghar. He now serves the Lannisters, and they go over choices. For saving him, he will kill three people for her. She names the Tickler, as her first.

Jon holds out hope that his unle Benjen is still out there somewhere. The men make camp in the snow. Sweet Sam continues talking, always talking on and on this time about the first me. Jon looks over the horizon, and there is nothing but white as far as the eye can see, he thinks the first men were trying to get away from something, that they weren’t able to. A horn blast is heard, a single blast, and they hope it is fellow rangers as it should be.

Tyrion visits the apothecary. He has wild fire in a jar, that’ll burn anything. It’s a substance that the Targaryens used well to hold the Iron Throne, when the dragons were all gone. He sees the true depth of Cersei’s madness. He tells him that he won’t be making wildfire for Cersei any longer, from now on they’ll be making it for Tyrion.

Dany teaches her dragon how to feed themselves. Irri is feeling a little sensitive, and Dorreah forgets Dany’s station a bit, mistaking Dany for a princess instead of a Khalessi. Dany wears the dress that she was given, and she tries to keep the pilfering to a minimum at the dinner. Everyone tries to gain the Mother of Dragon’s favor. She even gets an offer to stay with the creepy house of the undying. Xaro, her host comes and steals her away. Jorah watches over the Khalessi. And a masked woman warns him that she is in danger more than ever before. People will come to see the dragons, and they will want them, because they are fire made flesh, and fire equals power.

Brienne thinks that Stannis is behind Renly’s death. Catelyn is not so sure, all she saw was a shadow. Brienne plans to bring her back to her home, and then go back. Catelyn warns that it may not safe for her, and Brienne offers to serve Catelyn so long as she does not hold her back from Stannis. Catelyn makes that promise, and Brienne swears her fealty to Catelyn.

Bran continues to hold court at Winterfell, Rickon smashes nuts. Before Bran can go for his ride he gets bad news. News comes that a nearby town is under siege. Bran does not hesitate to send men to his protect his bannermen. He tells Osha of his dream. She tells him that the three-eyed raven may not mean anything. He presses her for the truth, and she asks for specifics. He dreamt that the sea came to Winterfell, it flooded the castle and killed many. Osha tells him that the sea is hundred of miles away, but she looks shaken. He asks again about the raven, but she gives him no real answer.

The snow falls hard on the Night’s watch. The men they’ve been waiting for have still not arrived, but the wildlings are coming. Their man Mance has betrayed them to the wildings, and he’s been training them. They plan to go in like ninjas and kill the group before they can be overtaken, and Jon asks if he can accompany them. Sam offers to take over Jon’s duty, and Jon gets to join the rangers.

Xaro asks Dany how long her man servant has been in love with her. Poor girl cannot see that Ser Jorah Mormont truly is in love with her. She tells him that he is her advisor and friend. So instead Xaro asks what her intentions are. Dany tells him she intends to take the Iron Kingdom, because it is her birthright, and she will protect her Khalasar. They talk of ambitions, and she questions his intentions. He shows her a vault that none have been able to get break into, and he’s willing to give her half if she marries him. And with that he will help her win the seven Kingdoms.

She takes the proposition to Jorah. He’s against the idea, even if the seven kingdoms are at war. He tells her to win Westros, she cannot do it with a foreign army alone. He does wish to see her on the Iron throne because she would be a good ruler, and with his plea she sees the Xaro’s words are true. She asks his plan as her advisor.  He tells her to make her own way, he will find her a ship, and she agrees.

Gendry forges swords and as good as he is with a sword he does not know how to wield one. Arya gives him pointers, when a scream pierces the air. The tickler has been slain.

SAFE


Mix a corrupt NYC police department, the Russian mob, the Chinese mob, and a kidnapped girl from China.  Stir and add a pinch of Jason Statham.  Well, maybe a dash.  Oh hell, throw in the whole bag.  What do you get?  SAFE
Jason Statham stars as former elite-agent, Luke Wright, who lost a lot of money for a betting Russian mobster.  He stumbles upon Mei (Catherine Chan), a girl both the Russian and Chinese mobs are chasing.  The Chinese mob is using Mei for her eidetic memory.  She has a code in her head that everyone including some high ranking NYC police officials desperately wants.  Enter Statham to save the day.

SAFE is probably one of my favorite Statham movies.  The basic plot is believable, the fight scenes; plenty, there’s genuinely humorous dialog and good music.  The beginning jumps around in time a bit, but settles into the present time after the first 15 minutes.  There’s no love interest here (rare for a Statham film), but there also isn’t any room for one.  Any attempt to add a lover for Statham would have seemed forced.

Is it realistic?  Hell no, it’s a Jason Statham movie.  Is it bloody and violent?  Of course, it’s a Jason Statham movie.  If you enjoy ass-kicking (literally), non-stop action and funny (not corny) one-liners, then don’t miss SAFE.

Opens in theaters today.

SYNOPSIS:
The Expendables are back and this time it’s personal...

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time — six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother.

That is done the Expendables way....

First they teased us with well, one of the shortest teasers ever, and then they released a longer teaser that didn't really show much more. And now Summit Entertainment has released the first two pictures from their Breaking Dawn, Pt. 2.


Still no Kellan Lutz, but I guess they had to satisfy all of the Team Edward and Team Jacob fans, while the Team Emmett fans have to continue to wait.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 comes to theaters November 16th, 2012 and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz, Anna Kendrick, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli. The film is directed by Bill Condon.

RIVEN SENDS A SHIVER THROUGH
 DARK HORSE PRESENTS!

APRIL 25, MILWAUKIE, OR—Riven, the latest tale set to debut in Dark Horse Comics’ legendary anthology Dark Horse Presents, marks a new beginning for horror fans! 

Dark Horse Comics recently announced the Riven graphic novel, the third collaboration between cowriters Bo Hampton (The Legend of Sleepy Hollow) and Robert Tinnell (The Wicked West), which is slated to hit stores August 22.  Riven’s three-part story beginning in Dark Horse Presents #14 will serve as a chilling introduction to their world of terror.

Dark Horse Presents is bringing together such a great mix of talent and stories at the moment that it’s honestly an honor to be included in the book. From all the chatter Dark Horse Presents has been generating it’s clear the book is appealing to discerning, articulate readers—and those are precisely the sorts of people we hope are attracted to Riven,” said Robert Tinnell. 
Riven’s Katya has been in a coma for five years, and when she awakes, everything has changed. Now she is a gorgeous teenager with a mysterious, gruesome past, becoming aware of a growing, terrifying power inside her body, triggered by the touch of the full moon, eager to break free . . . Can Katya solve the mystery of her blood-drenched nightmares before they become reality?

“It was a great spawning ground in its original incarnation and I’m really happy to be part of Dark Horse Presents now. I’m looking forward to seeing the Riven pages in that format,” Bo Hampton added.

Check out Riven in Dark Horse Presents #14, on sale July 18!

ALAN ROBERT’S HIT GRAPHIC NOVEL, “CRAWL TO ME”, LANDS SCREENWRITERS‏

ALAN ROBERT’S HIT GRAPHIC NOVEL,
“CRAWL TO ME”, LANDS SCREENWRITERS
The Popular Psychological Thriller From IDW Publishing
Gets The Big Screen Treatment!

New York, NY – (April 24, 2012) The first printing of Alan Robert's critically acclaimed horror graphic novel, Crawl to Me (IDW Publishing), sold out within a week of its release, back in January 2012. As a result, the award-winning publisher will be pressing a special hardcover version this summer, titled Crawl to Me: Evil Edgar Edition. As previously announced, directorDavid A. Armstrong, cinematographer for the successful box-office hit franchise, Saw, is attached to direct a live-action adaptation of Crawl to Me for the big screen. Additionally, screenwriters, David White and T.J. Cimfel have recently signed on to pen the Crawl to Me screenplay. Robert will produce, alongside his partners Jeff Mazzola (Descent) and Christopher White (My Super Psycho Sweet 16 franchise).

"It’s exciting to watch this thing come to life by people who are super passionate about telling this story," says creator, Robert.  “Over the last few months, we’ve received about a dozen different treatments from various writers to adapt the property. I can safely say that T.J. and Dave’s unique take on the material definitely stood out from the rest. We’re extremely proud to announce that they’ve officially joined the team.”

David White and T.J. Cimfel wrote the contained thriller Shut In, which is currently under option at Ombra Films.  Additionally, Cimfel's supernatural thriller No Tell Motel was recently produced by Enderby Entertainment and is scheduled for release in late 2012.

Crawl To Me really appeals to us because it builds a haunting story around an emotional and intelligent core. It has characters you can connect with, yet doesn’t sacrifice any of the visceral thrills you want from a good horror story. It's the perfect combination for us to tackle,” says, White and Cimfel. “The artwork really drew us in. It’s a dark story, but it’s told through these beautiful images that you can’t turn away from. And there’s a cinematic flow to the action—the story’s screaming to be put on the screen.”

The Crawl to Me graphic novel, written and illustrated by the Brooklyn-bredLife of Agony bassist, collected the original 2011 comic series with a painted cover by renowned Monocyte artist, Menton3.  The introduction for the book, was written by Robert's former cartooning teacher and legendary comics artist, Walter Simonson (Thor).

Robert’s upcoming Killogy comic series is slated for an October 2012 release through IDW Publishing. Major announcements coming shortly!

Trek Nation and White Room: 02B Make International Debuts at SCI-FI-LONDON‏



Trek Nation’ and ‘White Room: 02B3’ Make International Debuts at SCI-FI-LONDON

UK fans get double feature when Roddenberry Entertainment films land in 
England

LONDON; April 24, 2012 — Roddenberry Entertainment, the successor of the science fiction pioneer that brought television and film audiences Star Trek, announced today that its Saturn Award-nominated film Trek Nation will make it’s much anticipated international debut on May 7 at the 11th Annual Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film in London’s Apollo Piccadilly Circus at 4:55 p.m. local time. The film will appear as part of a Roddenberry Entertainment double feature along with the company’s groundbreaking 360-degree film White Room: 02B3.

Trek Nation made its US debut in November 2011 on SCIENCE Channel to acclaimed reviews of Rod Roddenberry’s tribute to his father, Gene Roddenberry, including a nomination from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for a 2012 Saturn Award in the “Best Television Presentation (10 Episodes or Less)” category. Through exclusive footage and interviews with devoted fans, including George Lucas, J.J. Abrams, Seth MacFarlane and many notable Star Trek alumni, Trek Nation chronicled a son’s journey to discover his father and the creation that helped define modern-day science fiction.

“By exploring my father through a variety of untapped touchstones, we were able to introduce the world to a Gene Roddenberry it’s never met before.  Through this process of humanization, Trek Nation reminds us that none of us are perfect but that within our imperfections lays the potential for greatness,” said Executive Producer Rod Roddenberry.

While it will be the first time a European audience is given the opportunity to view the documentary in its entirety, Sci-Fi-London will also play host to the world premier of Roddenberry Entertainment’s new film White Room: 02B3. Shot with the world’s most advanced high-definition 360-degree camera, White Room:02B3 stars Breckin Meyer, Tamlyn Tomita, David Blue and Rachel True, as well as Internet icons Tony Janning and Milynn Sarley. The film will debut during the Blink of an Eye program on Saturday, May 5 at 4:55 p.m. local time before it’s screened with Trek Nation on May 7.

Boldly going where no camera has gone before, Roddenberry Entertainment used cutting edge 360-degree SA9 camera technology to create an engaging, interactive audience experience. Sitting in the middle of the room, the camera captures 360-degrees outward in high-definition panoramic video with no gaps or distortion during filming.

While White Room: 02B3 is premiering at film festivals, Roddenberry will also launch it as an immersive cinematic trailblazer in 360-degree dome theaters around the country and as an interactive experience online. A click-and-drag function will simulate the dome experience.

“In addition to quality science fiction, Roddenberry is known for taking strides into new technologies and pushing entertainment boundaries. With White Room: 02B3 we are certainly at the birth of a new kind of filmmaking,” said Trevor Roth, chief operating officer and head of development at Roddenberry Entertainment.

BRAVE's New Trailer


"In every age family is king, and the bravest journeys are never taken alone." Brave is set in the Scottish Highlands and follows Meridia (Kelly MacDonald), daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Meridia wants to make her own path in life and shuns her Kingdom’s custom, evoking chaos.   

I’ve been excited for Brave since the first trailer emerged.  This new trailer shows some familiar scenes, but also gives us more than a glimpse into Meridia’s family.  I think this film will resonate with many families around the world.  I remember being a tomboy, full of action and mayhem:  my dad laughing with me, brothers who seem to have no rules, and my mother just trying to get me in dresses.  I think Brave will more than deliver this summer.  “If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?”
