SCI FI PI
Milo Ventimiglia and Masi Oka, the stand out stars of Heroes, are coming to Oz in the beginning of September, and we'll be able to interview them for Sci Fi Pi. Which is great news for you dear readers, because we're throwing open the gates to all our curious Heroes fans to ask any and all the questions they want!
That's right. We'll be channelling your questions directly to them. If there's anything you've ever wondered, now's your chance. Just click on the link below and fill out your question in our Forum, and we'll ask away.
The Hollywood Reporter has, er, reported that Tom Cruise is getting into business with none other than Sam Raimi to make a movie version of the Sci Fi graphic novel, Sleeper. No, not the same Sleeper that Woody Allen did (film buffs, this really could be a fine option for Cruise, don't you think?) but a tale of an agent who gets fused with alien technology that makes him impervious to pain. Touch gives the power to others. He goes undercover as a 'sleeper' agent in a nefarious criminal organisation, teaming up with characters such as Miss Misery.
Trek Your Computer Now
The Star Trek Movie has released more images to go with those released at Comic Con (including John Cho as Sulu and Anton Yelchin as Chekov) and they're now available for download from the official site. You can also get the crew (and baddies) as icons. Just perfect for keeping the hype alive for the next nine months! And 05 08 09 is actually the 8th of May, not the 5th of April, in the Americanised dating system - so no, it hasn't been pushed back again. Good news for fans of director JJ.Abrams, who is now reported working on an earthquake-based film. Has not been pinged yet as the sequel to Cloverfield.

Winners of this year's Hugo Awards were announced this weekend at the 66th World Science Fiction Convention in Denver.
The Hugo Award, also known as the Science Fiction Achievement Award, is given annually by the World Science Fiction Society. The award was named in honor of Hugo Gernsback, the founder of Amazing Stories, the first magazine devoted entirely to science fiction.
A complete list of winners follows:
Best Novel: The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
Best Novella: "All Seated on the Ground" by Connie Willis
In the greatest "I knew it all along!' news for UFOlogists ever, Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell has claimed aliens exist.
According to Dr Mitchell, 77, the 'grey' alien - as seen in Close Encounters and Stargate (among others!) is pretty much dead on.
He went on to say our technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned "we would have been gone by now".
Dr Mitchell also confirmed that the Roswell alien space crash was real and that similar alien visits continue to be investigated.
Changes are afoot on The Doctor Who lot - with definite new personnel moving in for Season Five!
*spoiler alert (to put it mildly) obviously, something's up with The Doctor, read on, only if you dare...*
Everyone's worried about The Doctor, but should they be worried about someone else?
In a shock in the recently UK-aired Season 4 finale of Doctor Who, the current Doctor, David Tennant, appears to have an 'open ended' entry into next season...
If you're still stuck in Australia, wondering what's goes on at Comic-Con, here's a little taste of the geeky preview goodness that attendees got to wallow in this year.
Here' s a sniff of the latest good stuff from San Diego, with images from the new Star Trek Movie poster, posters for Red Sonja and The Punisher, pics from The Wolfman (starring Benicio Del Toro), Christian Bale going hardcore for Terminator: Salvation and some new Watchmen images. Watchmen is looking more and more like it's been ripped directly from the page, which will please purist comic fans no end.
In one of those 'why didn't they think of that sooner?' moves, video game companies have joined the fray with gusto at this year's Comic Con.
Held every year in San Diego, Comic Con welcomes over 125,000 hard core comic collectors and fans of genre films and TV - it's gotten so big now that it's regarded as a family event.
One of the major staples of the four day get together is the release of preview footage or trailers of upcoming films - traditionally comic-book based or Sci Fi based. This year though, the sheer power of the numbers (and the internet chatter that Comic Con produces) means that game companies like EA are throwing down serious dosh for big exhibitions of upcoming releases. Activision, Capcom, Konami, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 are also taking large chunks of territory previously held by the comic book fraternity.
As Battlestar Galacitica's fourth and final season prepares to air its final ten episodes in the US, more than 3,000 props, costumes, memorabilia and other items from SCI FI Channel's original series will be auctioned off. Only problem for Aussies - they're in Los Angeles.
Going under the hammer - the uniform worn by Admiral William Adama (Edward James Olmos) and a life-sized Cylon Centurion costume. And this is only the tip of the frakking toaster!
NBC Universal and Propworx will conduct two live auctions in Los Angeles, along with a series of Internet auctions coinciding with the airing of the show's final 10 episodes, which starts in early 2009. Gots to get in on that action!
With The X-Files: I Want to Believe opening up next week on the 24th, it seems only sweet and fitting and proper (dulce et decorum est, Latin fans!) that we at SCI FI hold an entirely over-the-top competition to celebrate.
Should you deign to enter, you may in fact find yourself inundated with a swag of goodies that would make even Cancer Man feel guilty in tucking away. It is truly extravagant, including a GPS Car system, a mobile phone, an entire set of X-Files DVDs and more!
You will want to believe in yourself, that you can win one of the four prize packs. Sculls and Mulls would.
