Ion Sci-Fi keeps an eye on sci-fi entertainment and anything related, with news, views and reviews every week
Author Neal Stephenson has tweeted clarification that he has no involvement in Facebook's Meta rebranding.
Since there seems to be growing confusion on this: I have nothing to do with anything that FB is up to involving the Metaverse, other than the obvious fact that they're using a term I coined in Snow Crash. There has been zero communication between me and FB & no biz relationship.
Unknown Worlds, developers of Subnautica and sequel Below Zero, will be acquired by Krafton.
Subnautica is a rarity in the gaming world.
While Unknown Worlds had previously made Natural Selection 1 & 2 which were typical combat games with the usual assorted weaponry, Subnautica was developed without them.
Nominees for the 47th People's Choice Awards have been accounced.
Science-fiction is moderately well represented, except in comedy, but looks completely different to the recent Saturns. Between them Star Wars and to a lesser extent, Star Trek dominated. Especially in wins.
Lionsgate have released 10 new images for Moonfall by master of disaster, Roland Emmerich.
Yes, the title checks out.

Movies that is.
Possibly other things too but in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, director Denis Villeneuve expressed a desire to do more Dune.
The BBC's Science Focus has published an interesting little piece on the likely origins of Frank Herbert's Dune.

Pixar have released the first teaser trailer for Lightyear.
It appears to feature the Toy Story astronaut. But without any of the other toys and doing serious space stuff.
What?
Hero Collector have announced the publication next month of Battlestar Galactica: Desigining Spaceships.
The title is undeniably descriptive but doesn't quite say it all:
Nikkei Asia reports that A.L.I. Technologies have unveiled the Xturismo, a flying motorcycle which they intend to deliver to customers next year.
A limited number of customers. Two hundred. Purchase price $682,000 US.
