Splice, Neuromancer and High Rise: The Twisted Future of Vincenzo Natali

INTERVIEWS Wednesday, August 18 by Captain


Vincenzo Natali is one of the more original voices working in film today. However, he has only been able to produce a handful of films, mainly due to his tenacious desire to stick with material that for mainstream Hollywood is deemed 'uncommercial' but for true Sci Fi fans, a breath of fresh air. His films aren't pretentious or high brow. If anything, they trend towards the schlock, but they always show the fierce intelligence of their creator. If you've ever seen Cube, Cypher or Nothing, you will understand just how good a director Natali is - and why the critical success of his latest film, Splice, is no surprise. We spoke with him long after the film's release in the US, but just after the announcement that he will be directing William Gibson's Neuromancer, one of the great Sci Fi novels.

Teal'c Talk with Christopher Judge

INTERVIEWS Saturday, July 17 by Captain


Christopher Judge has more charisma in his left finger than most people produce in a lifetime. It's an eerie, indisputable fact. Thus to have an interview with him is to get the full force of the realisation that no, he is not a quiet, carefully worded warrior with a penchant for the perfectly placed eyebrow raise. Not at all.

He is "indeed" an actor who loves his job, loves life and loves being a part of the Stargate family. What he doesn't love is polar bears. Because they can eat you.

Summer Glau Is A Trekkie: Interview

INTERVIEWS Saturday, June 26 by Captain


Summer Glau is a Trekkie. Yes it’s true. A gorgeous, talented actress who happens to have played two of the more iconic roles in recent Sci Fi history likes to geek it up as much as the next nerd.

It makes the air worth breathing. It makes discussing the various merits of different Starfleet captains, if not cool, well, supremely okay.

Summer is out in Australia, right now, as a guest of Supanova. She popped into Sydney last weekend, and this weekend she’s in Perth, at the Claremont showgrounds. We had a chat with her about what life’s like when you’re Summer Glau, who her favourite Star Trek character is (and the actor she met that blew her mind) and what classic Sci Fi she breaks out when introducing her Sci Fi side.

Louis Ferreira: An Interview with SGU's Funny Man, Colonel Young (No, Really!)

INTERVIEWS Thursday, April 29 by Captain


Whilst SGU has its share of lighter moments, it's fair to say that it has a heavy dose of darkness. A crew, stranded on the other side of the universe, no way of getting back, with a growing power struggle on board, threatening the future of the mission (if they had any to begin with!).

At the end of the first part of Season One, Colonel Everett Young finally went beyond the bounds of the measured, intelligent leader that had kept the fractured crew of military and civilians together. His dour, 'let's get on with this' attitude had been the glue for a group of people stuck with seemingly no hope. It was a fascinating moment, to see the true feelings of a man who seemed to define 'bottled up' - despite the obvious references to inter-military affairs.

Brian and Jamil - Smith and Smith: Stargate Universe Is More than Meets the Eye!

INTERVIEWS Thursday, April 8 by Captain


One of the most interesting things about the cast of Stargate Universe is the differences you see between the actors and the characters they play. So often you see casting in Hollywood adhering strictly 'to type', but in the wilds of Vancouver, things are a little different. Of course, it's not that much of a surprise - creators Brad Wright and Rob Cooper have a history of interesting casting, going back all the way to the initial SG-1 days that put MacGyver together with an ex-footballer, a David Spader impersonator and a young fresh-faced blonde.

Were you unable to Gate to the Stargate convention last month? Don't despair because SCI FI was there to talk to David Blue about what we can expect from the show's return this week (Three! More!

David'll do skydiving, Eli not so much.

Check out the exclusive video with the charming Mr Blue after the jump.
