As Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy's Westworld seemingly flounders, we hear casting news for one of their two upcoming Amazon sci-fi series, Fallout.
Kyle MacLachlan who played Paul Atreides in the 1984 Dune film and Quake / Daisy's insane father in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has joined Fallout's cast in an unspecified role.
During the virtual LEGO Con 2022 which was streamed the weekend before last, the first ever Avatar LEGO set was unveiled with an impressive $250 (Oz) price tag.
There'll also be a live event in Sydney on July 9-10 at which you might be able to see this set. And other blocky things.
Sony have released a trailer for vampire film The Invitation (formerly The Bride) starring Game of Thrones' Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei).
It's present day supernatural horror rather than sci-fi but looks to be something at least a little bit fresh in the well populated and rarely original vampire genre.
