A 21st century cop hunts rogue artificial humanoids who have sneaked down to Earth. It sounds pretty similar to Blade Runner, and the new series produced by Ridley Scott is being explicitly compared to Scott's most famous movie. More »

I had high hopes for the new Andromeda Strain miniseries, which airs tonight and tomorrow night on A&E. After all, the trailers looked pretty jazzy, and it was produced by both Ridley and Tony Scott — so there was double Scott power. And there were some great alien-virus-attack moments, along with some nice bits of scientific detective work that stayed pretty true to the book. Unfortunately, overall, the new version of Strain left me saying, "Wow, it's like a Sci Fi Channel original movie, only with an A-list cast." Spoilers ahead. More »

The Ridley Scott/Tony Scott-produced Andromeda Strain miniseries got a new trailer and an airdate: Memorial Day weekend.

The Sci Fi channel announced back in 2004 that they would be making a miniseries version of Michael Crichton's novel The Andromeda Strain with Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, and Frank Darabont producing. It's not clear if the Scotts and Darabont are still involved, but the mini has shifted from Sci Fi to A&E, and will be airing in February. What is going to make this worth watching? More »
