Chuck Will Be Getting More Science Fictional

People always ask if spy-computer-brain show Chuck is really science fiction, so we asked producer Chris Fedak if the show would delve into its science-fiction trappings a bit more. Luckily for us, he said yes. More »

The Secret Origin Of Watchmen's World-Building

The biggest superhero cliche is the origin-story. Watchmen flouts that convention, by starting in the middle, then provides the origin-story of an alternate world. We asked Zack Snyder and Dave Gibbons about world-building via superhero origins. More »
