This might be the best promotional film for a university we've ever seen. The University of Huddersfield has suddenly become an educational destination, thanks to this witty, chaotic short movie about aliens showing up and demanding our submission. Featuring the voice of Sir Patrick Stewart! It's lovely and charming. [Thanks Legends!] More »

At this year's Emerald City Comic-Con, Brent Spiner regaled audiences with his eerily on-the-mark Patrick Stewart voice. All those years of acting as an android have apparently blessed him with Soong-style perfect pitch. More »

Dark reimaginings of The Wizard of Oz are all the rage, but what we saw of the upcoming computer-animated Dorothy of Oz suggests there's still some kiddie magic left to share. Also, Patrick Stewart voices a tree with multiple personalities. More »

For the second time in his career, David Tennant is finding himself saving Shakespeare. But this time around, he's doing so without the use of a TARDIS, and with the help of a certain bald-headed former captain of the starship Enterprise. The hottest ticket in British theatreland is Hamlet, and it's all down to the powers of sci-fi TV. More »

It looks like Rufus Sewell's performance in Jerry Bruckheimer's new show Elemental takes a page from his work in CSI. Including the one recluse-type main character, lots of hypothetical question asking, and great musical crescendos for commercial breaks. As in the original British show, the Patrick Stewart-starring Eleventh Hour, Jacob Hood (Sewell) is the lone-wolf scientist the government calls in to deal with weird situations. He's matched with sexy blonde bodyguard Rachel (just Rachel). And judging from this new clip, Sewell brings the science with a heavy dollop of moralizing. [Trek Movie] More »

Eleventh Hour, the cult British TV series starring Patrick Stewart as a scientist who investigates abuses of science for the government, is getting a new name in its U.S. incarnation, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The American version, starring Rufus Sewell, will be called Elemental. Bruckheimer made a $4 million pilot that wowed CBS, and the show will be appearing as part of CBS' fall schedule. As in the British version, Sewell will be a college professor who "helps government bureacrats deal with thorny scientific conundrums ranging from cloning to global warming." And he'll have a hawt female bodyguard, played by Marley Shelton. (Looks like Buffy's Marc Blucas also has a regular role.) [Wired] More »

This just in: Doctors agree that Star Trek: The Next Generation is officially bad for your health. Well, at least, it was if you were a cast member for the show, according to Patrick Stewart's recent Q and A session with Newsweek magazine. On the plus side, the adoration of your fanbase may make up for whatever injuries and deformities you suffered as a result of appearing on the series. More »

Jerry Bruckheimer, creator of CSI, will copy Eleventh Hour, a British TV miniseries about a government scientist who investigates abuses of science, including killer viruses and stem-cell research run amok. (With his bad-ass female bodyguard in tow.) The British version starred Patrick Stewart, who went around insisting in interviews that the show wasn't an attempt to cash in on the success of the new Doctor Who. (But the show's creator/producer, Stephen Gallagher, wrote some of the most confusing Who episodes in the early 80s.) The American version, airing on CBS, will star Rufus Sewell, a British actor who starred in The Illusionist. [C21 Media] More »
