Will Milla Jovovich Pee On Shia LaBoeuf's Head?

The Internet is buzzing with the rumor that Fifth Element star Milla Jovovich could be cast as the first female transformer in Transformer 2. More specifically, rumor has it she's going to play a sexy Decepticon. We'd love to see Milla playing a villain, even if it's only voice work, and her throaty snarl might help increase the threat level of the hitherto bland movie Decepticons. Meanwhile, Rainn Wilson will play a college professor (who wears leather pants?). [MTV]

Ultraviolet Goes Noir In Anime Remake

Can an animated reboot make sense of Kurt Wimmer's Ultraviolet, two years later? Wimmer's visually stunning vampire-plague movie, set in a future dystopia where everything is always color-coordinated, became a confusing mess at least partly due to studio interference. And now acclaimed anime director Osamu Dezaki (Aim For The Ace!, Lupin III) is supervising an adaptation, called Ultraviolet: Code 044. It premieres on the Animax satellite channel in Japan on July 1. No word on when it hits the U.S., but here's a teaser trailer, which shows a much moodier, less candy-colored version of the saga.

Which Overexposed Scifi Actor Should Take A Nice Break?

You keep seeing the same faces over and over again in science fiction. At first it's like, "Oh, there's my old friend Summer Glau. I'm so glad she's getting work." And then, it slowly turns into, "How many maniacs of science can Jeffrey Combs play before he actually falls asleep in mid-speech and lights his hair on fire with his bunsen burner?" Especially when people like Will Smith admit they're only doing scifi because it's commercial. Click through to vote for the most overexposed science fiction actor. More »

Greatest Car Chases In Science Fiction (Part 2)

Milla Jovovich's weird strappy leotard and crazy talk beguile Bruce Willis into helping her jet away from the cops in his flying taxi. He swerves through CGI tunnels at a breakneck pace. It's another one of the greatest car chases in science fiction, according to us as well as you, the readers. Click through for more hyperkinetic clips. More »

Must See: The Fifth Element

Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.

Title: The Fifth Element
Date: 1997

Vitals: A babe from another dimension teaches a hypercapitalist, urbanized world that love is the answer to all their problems - especially if love is wearing nothing more than bandages on her tits. Also, there are a bunch of flying car chase scenes.
