This is probably the weirdest moment in Possible Worlds, the alternate-reality-hopping movie from 2000. It's a bizarre, dreamlike story of the relationship between George (Tom McCamus) and Joyce (Tilda Swinton) across various realities.

Art professor Steve Kurtz's wife, Hope, died in her sleep in May 2004. When Kurtz called 911, however, the police saw petri dishes and a mobile DNA-extraction machine and called in the feds.

This case still continues nearly four years later, and a new direct-to-DVD movie, Strange Culture, uses Tilda Swinton, Thomas Jay Ryan and other actors to unravel one of the scariest cases of science fiction dictating legal actions in recent history. We talked to the director, Lynn Hershman Leeson. More »

Unfortunately, the cyber-ladies, all played by Swinton, have to inject human sperm in order to stay alive. And to make money, they run a porn site where they pretend to be robots. More »
