Go Mutants! A retro-future, teen angst, mutant love story
Go Mutants! arrived on my doorstep not to long ago and I was, on opening the package, immediately struck by two facts. Fact #1 - James Dean with a giant brain and no hair. Fact #2 - Oh my god I never new it but I've been waiting for this book for years! If I had to describe this book in one word, I'd use the word "romp" because that's what it is. Like a happy puppy it runs through B-movie camp, teen angst, singing the blues like you mean it and countless references to the pop culture of a bygone age.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010
What to do when you have an idea for a SciFi blockbuster with plenty of special effects, talented actors and a script in hand but you just can't get the funding together? If you're the folks at Spiral Productions you politely give the finger to thoughts of funding and script shopping then you go out and make your live action effects laden SciFi blockbuster. If that's not impressive enough, the film looks good and this is coming from a SciFi movie aficionado. Project London is an epic film with huge budget worthy special effects, and plenty of them, created by volunteers on the web and resulting in an actual, watchable, movie.

Friday, April 2, 2010
Romantically Apocalyptic is one of those internet gems that a lot more people should be aware of. RA takes place some unspecified time after a nuclear apocalypse and follows the lives of the Captain, the Pilot, the Sniper and the Engineer as they bumble through, laugh insanely at and generally try to get by in a post-nuclear wasteland.

Monday, March 29, 2010
We've covered the soon to be movie phenomenon Project London before here on TC. Back in June of '09 it looked like a very cool idea making its way into realization. Now, it's set to be an actual, real, kick-ass SciFi movie in the near future! How cool is that? One of our celebrity friends, Jen Page is in the cast, which is also an added bonus for everyone.

Friday, August 28, 2009
Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim kicks ass. I mean, the protagonist literally left the text and physically kicked me in my ass. Yeah, it’s that much fun. James Stark spent 11 years killing monsters in Lucifer's arena for the entertainment of fallen angels, but now he's back in seedy, magic-riddled L.A., trying to avenge his girlfriend's murder and hunt down Mason Faim, the black magician responsible for getting him sent downtown. After that it really starts to get interesting.

Thursday, July 30, 2009
Michael Ozias has a science fiction movie he'd like to make. Unlike other folks (like me, for instance) he's also got a script, a plan and a damned good trailer to back him up. Last of the Free is the story of two adolescents, Izan and Hana, on a quest to escape the misery of the dystopian future they live in. In an oppressive time, where freedom, innovation, and individuality are non-existent, they live for the society but long for themselves. Read on for an interview, production stills and to watch the trailer.

Friday, June 12, 2009
This looks amazing for several reasons. It's a SciFi film which is always a good start. It's also a home-grown, independent film driven mostly by volunteers. Even more impressive, there are about 500 visual effects shots, composed via Blender and done by 3D artists around the world.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the scientific community, I bring you here to day to unveil the weapon which will save all of humanity from the pressing threat of the Scvarsars!” said the leader of the First Governmental Scientists Union. “Viva Euro-Japan!” he added.
