SPOTLIGHT AND CHARACTER PHOTOS FROM SYFY'S NEW SF SERIES 'KILLJOYS' WITH LUKE MACFARLANE, AARON ASHMORE, HANNAH JOHN KAMEN!

'KILLJOYS' NEW SF SERIES
 CHARACTER PHOTOS ARE HERE
And to finish the week in which I brought you new cast photos for a number of new science fiction shows, here's more of the same: new character photos from SyFy's new summer series KILLJOYS showing the lead heroes in their galactic costumes! Starting Friday June 19th, and coming from the producers of ORPHAN BLACK, KILLJOYS is a space set drama about a group of intergalactic bounty killers!

THE STORY OF KILLJOYS
FUN LOVING BOUNTY HUNTERS
The story of KILLJOYS follows a fun loving, hard living trio of inter planetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multi planetary class war. The people of the planet Qresh have colonized their three moons, creating four stratified worlds, each defined along socio economic lines and rife with social unrest.

LUKE MAC- FARLANE
IS NATURAL BORN SOLDIER
One of television's favourite hunks Luke MacFarlane (BROTHERS AND SISTERS) is  D'avin who is many things – handsome, uber masculine, sarcastic, incredibly loyal – but he is one thing above all: a born soldier. He dreamed of enlisting since boyhood, and his hard-won expertise in tactics, manoeuvres and hand to hand combat make him an instant asset to the KILLJOYS.

AARON ASH- MORE
IS NOT STUPID
WAREHOUSE 13 star Aaron Ashmore is playing John Jaqobis, who  is dyslexic with learning and reading disabilities and was labeled as “stupid” all of his life. He is not. Decisively. Give this man any mech, any tech, and he can fix it build it  fly it. Just don’t ask him to read the instructions. Or to believe that he’s actually intelligent. OK yeah, John has some self esteem issues but one thing he's completely sure of is his devotion to his fellow team mates.


HANNAH JOHN KAMEN
 IS BOLD AND DEADLY FLIRT
The only lady in the KILLJOYS sf series cast is Hannah John Kamen who plays Dutch: gorgeous, complicated and deadly flirt, Dutch is bold and fun loving on the surface. She has a unique gift for earning people's trust and respect regardless of their class. But under her banter and protective flirtations, there is pain, maturity, and a deep solemnity. As close friends as she is with John when we first meet them, she has always withheld a part of herself, a history of which she is deeply ashamed…

VIDEO THURSDAY: TRAILERS FOR 'A WALK IN THE WOODS' WITH ROBERT REDFORD, EMMA THOMPSON, NICK NOLTE, 'THE END OF THE TOUR' WITH JESSE EISENBERG AND JASON SEGEL

'A WALK IN THE WOODS' TRAILER 
WITH ROBERT REDFORD, EMMA THOMPSON AND NICK NOLTE
Two trailers for you today, first one up for new comedy drama from Robert Redford and Nick Nolte A WALK IN THE WOODS out this Autumn. It follows celebrated travel writer, Bill Bryson (Robert Redford) who, instead of retiring to enjoy his loving wife (Emma Thompson), and his family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail, 2,200 miles of America's most unspoiled and rugged countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquillity he hopes to find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to being accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek, his long lost and former friend Katz (Nick Nolte), a  serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law, sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and sneak into one last adventure before its too late. The trouble is, the two have a completely different definition of the word "adventure"!


'THE END OF THE TOUR' 
TRAILER WITH JESSE EISENBERG AND JASON SEGEL
The second trailer is for another drama which arrives into cinemas this July.  THE END OF THE TOUR tells the story of the five-day interview between Rolling Stone reporter (and novelist) David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) and acclaimed novelist David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel), which took place right after the 1996 publication of Wallace's ground breaking epic novel, Infinite Jest. As the days go on, a tenuous yet intense relationship seems to develop between journalist and subject. The two men bob and weave around each other, sharing laughs and also possibly revealing hidden frailties - but it's never clear how truthful they are being with each other.

FIRST CHARACTER PHOTOS AND TRAILER FOR NEW SCIENCE FICTION SHOW 'DARK MATTER' WITH MARC BENDAVID, MELISSA O'NEILL, ANTHONY LEMKE, ALEX MALLARI JR, ZOIE PALMER

'DARK MATTER' SF SHOW 
CHARACTER PHOTOS REVEALED
Since there's no fresh news from Hollywood today, we shall begin the new week with brand new character photos from another of the upcoming science fiction shows that await us this summer over at SyFy. DARK MATTER is set to bring some space action in about two weeks - June 12th in a global event in which the show will be aired in 86 countries around the world following six strangers and an android in a galaxy spanning adventure! They are the crew of a derelict spaceship which is awakened from stasis with no memories of who they are or how they got on board. Facing threats at every turn, they have to work together to survive a voyage charged with vengeance, betrayal and hidden secrets.

THE PRETTY BOY!
Actor Marc Bendavid is One! Charming but a bit of a goof, One (aka Pretty Boy) is the crew's moral centre, a guy who always tries to do the right thing, despite the odds stacked against him and no matter how unpopular the course of action. Sure, he screws up - but he means well.

THE BOSS LADY!
Actress Melissa O'Neill is Two, the defacto leader, (aka Boss Lady) a master fighter. Determined and more than a little headstrong, she is not the type you want to mess with - or disappoint. She can be cool and inscrutable and yet, at the same time, can demonstrate surprising compassion - the mark of a true leader.

THE SUNSHINE!
Actor Anthony Lemke is Three! A true bad-ass, (aka Sunshine) the flip side to One's principled coin - which is why the two are often at odds, developing a (grudging) like-hate relationship over the course of their journey. He is a mercenary through-and-through, a Han Solo type!

SLASHY MCSTABBERSON
Actor Alex Mallari Jr. is Four! Ever-stoic and a master of the blade, Four's (aka Slashy McStabberson) cool, calm demeanour belies a ruthlessness that gives even his fellow crew members pause. He's a man of few words but, when he does speak - just like when he fights - it's with precise efficiency.

THE TELEPATHIC KID
Actress Jodelle Ferland is Five. The mascot with a knack for mechanics, Five (aka Kid) also has some mysterious abilities. What first seem like telepathic powers turn out to be jumbled memories, but whose memories are they?

THE BLONDE ANDROID
The Android is played by Zoie Palmer.  She is more butler-like than your typical robot - concise, staid, yet surprisingly possessed of a subtly wry sense of humour. She is an indispensable member of the crew since she can exercise control over all the ship's systems, an ability of which she isn't shy about reminding everyone.

EXCITING FIRST TRAILER AND CHARACTER PHOTOS FROM SYFY'S NEW SF SERIES 'THE MAGICIANS' ADAPTATION OF LEV GROSSMAN'S BESTSELLERS WITH JASON RALPH, STELLA MAEVE, HALE APPLEMAN

SYFY'S 'THE MAGICIANS' SERIES
 GETS 1ST TRAILER & PHOTOS
Now, back when it was announced for production I truly didn't expect much from it, but now that SyFy has revealed the first trailer for their new science fiction series THE MAGICIANS it really seems intriguing, and in some scenes even brilliant and amazing. Check it out yourself in the trailer below which was released along with the first character photos for the new series which isn't coming to us any time soon since it has been announced for next year. It is the small screen adaptation of Lev Grossman's bestselling novels.

IN THE SCHOOL OF MAGIC
The 12 episode first season stars Jason Ralph (Quentin), Stella Maeve (Julia), Arjun Gupta (Penny), Hale Appleman (Eliot), Summer Bishil (Margo), and Sosie Bacon (Alice). Like everyone else, precocious high school senior Quentin Coldwater assumes that magic isn’t real, until he finds himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college of magic in upstate New York. There he indulges in joys of college - friendship, love, sex, and booze - and receives a rigorous education in modern sorcery. But magic doesn’t bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would. After graduation, he and his friends stumble upon a secret that sets them on a remarkable journey that may just fulfil Quentin’s yearning. But their journey turns out to be darker and more dangerous than they’d imagined.
