    What Is The Wachowskis' Secret Science Fiction Project — Guest-Starring Arianna Huffington?

    Did you know the Wachowskis were filming a new "futuristic" movie? Neither did we, until Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington tweeted a series of pictures from the set of the mystery film, which is about Iraq 90 years from now. More »

    John Joseph Adams Sees Your Dystopian Future, Starts A Magazine

    New Trailer Shows That Gamer = Crank + Death Race

    The first U.S. trailer for Gerard Butler's Gamer has come out, and it shows a nice mix of rough-and-ready convicts-trapped-in-a-video-game action. It's like Statham's Death Race, only on legs and reimagined by the Crank guys.

    Moody Concept Design For "The Road" Is Artwork In Its Own Right

    The movie version of Cormac McCarthy's The Road still doesn't have a release date, months after it was supposed to come out. But at least production designer Chris Kennedy's brilliant concept art has appeared online. More »

    It's Like Blade Runner, By Way Of Uwe Boll

    We need more terrible movies like The Gene Generation, this instant classic - newly on DVD - about a Dark Future [TM] where fetish-wear-clad assassins stalk "DNA hackers." And Faye Dunaway grows tentacles! More »

    What's Wrong With A Hunger Games Movie?

    At first blush, a movie version of Suzanne Collins' media-saturated death-sport novel, The Hunger Games, sounds like a great idea. Until you realize the major pitfall that movie faces, that is. More »

    23rd Century Muslim Cyborgs in "Budayeen Nights"

    "Blade Runner meets Casablanca written by Nelson Algren" would be the Hollywood pitch for Budayeen Nights, a collection of stories by the late George Alec Effinger. But there's much more to these hard-boiled, lemon-scented tales. More »

    Franklyn's Alternate-History Superhero Tale Has A Satisfying Payoff

    "It's a somewhat arty science fiction romance thriller." "It's a genre of no genre." "It's an urban fairytale fantasy drama, with a parallel-world aspect to it." Even the people making Franklyn struggled to explain it. More »

    KOP And Ex-KOP Are Pure Noir Candy

    Science fiction noir doesn't come much nastier than the KOP novels by Warren Hammond. The adventures of a bent cop on a rotten planet, they're like Dashiell Hammett mixed with Philip K. Dick. Spoilers ahead. More »

    Best Future Dystopias Where The Liberals Have Won

    The Republican Party is gathering in St. Paul, to put forth its vision of the future. And over the next few days, you'll be hearing a lot about the horrendous futures that could take shape if gormless liberals were allowed to run the show. Which makes us wonder: what does science fiction, the literature of the future, have to say about liberal-run dystopias? And it turns out, there are plenty of horrendous futures blighted by the heavy hands of our zinfandel-spitting liberal elites. Here are the scifi stories John McCain should mention in his acceptance speech. More »
