Ion Sci-Fi keeps an eye on sci-fi entertainment and anything related, with news, views and reviews every week
We now have the first teaser trailer for season 3 of The Boys and it's a shocker.
On first view it's non-stop action set to a snappy tune and the standout is what appears to be supe-hating Billy (Karl Urban) now with laser beam eye superpowers, but upon closer examination - much pausing - there's a lot more to this.
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.
Free Guy and The Adam Project director Shawn Levy is in negotiations to direct Deadpool 3.
This news comes just a few days after 20th Century Studios President Steve Asbell announced that a Free Guy 2 script was "days away".
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.
A seven minute gameplay briefing with Ambassador Spock has been released for upcoming narrative adventure game, Star Trek: Resurgence.
Also another, separate four minutes of gameplay with another character receiving an engineering assignment.
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.
Ok this one isn't really sci-fi but it's adjacent and we think potentially of interest to sci-fi fans.
The animated film in question of questionable sci-fi credentials is Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood and Netflix have released its trailer.
Netflix have announced a season two premiere date of April 20 for Russian Doll accompanied by a short trailer.
If you're not familar with it, it's one of those time-looping deals.
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.
