Last week fantasy author Brandon Sanderson made headlines by revealing that during COVID lockdown he'd managed to write four extra novels and promptly rocketed to Kickstarter's top funded project with a plan to self-publish. Presently $36 million (AU) and several weeks yet to go.
Sci-fi roleplaying video game John Carter: Warlord of Mars' is not enjoying the same kind of success. With a goal of $750 thousand (AU) they presently only have $8 thousand.
Disney have released a teaser for upcoming limited series Obi-wan and while we're of the opinion that the franchise is in a very bad place right now, this gets the spirit and tone of Star Wars very right.
The Sith mercilessly seeking advantage in what they perceive as a Jedi weakness - compassion - is exactly what we'd expect of real Star Wars.
This week it’s the first of the big categories in the Ion Sci-Fi Awards: Best Television.
This category is open to any made-for-TV sci-fi series, miniseries or movie (including animation) that was commercially available to Australian audiences during 2021 on broadcast, pay T-V, subscription or other online service.
Because of competition for limited visual effects post-production capabilities in the post COVID revival, Warner Bros. have delayed several big DC titles.
Note that the dates below are for the US. New Australian release dates haven't been published yet but they're usually not far off US ones.
Marvel have released another trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The trailers continue to look spectacular but as with any multi-trailer promotion for a big cinematic release, there's not much new in each successive one.
