The only thing I have for you on the last day of 2015 before the New Year hits us at midnight is a short spotlight on new sf series SECOND CHANCE which arrives onto the small screens Wednesday, January 13th at Fox! It is a kind of a modern day sf Frankenstein with the cast lead by Rob Kazinsky.

younger man by billionaire tech-genius twins. However, despite having a

While we're waiting for Michael Fassbender ASSASSIN'S CREED, another video game movie adaptation will arrive from Oscar nominated director Tomasz Baginski and the producers of THE MUMMY! Based on Andrzej Sapkowski's THE LAST WISH novels and short stories, epic fantasy movie THE WITCHER will follow Geralt the witcher, a monster hunter with superhuman abilities. He is a creature suspended between two worlds - the human and the magical! It is planned as the beginning of a possible series of movies with the premiere set for 2017.
Speaking of video games adaptations, the biggest one to arrive to us next year, the lavishly epic WARCRAFT: THE BEGINNING has released the spectacular, absolutely mind blowing first trailer half an hour ago and you can check it out below! It promises to be one of the most epic movies ever seen on the big screens!

Toby Kebbell is barely recognisable under the mask of The Horde's
chieftan Durotan! Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Robert
Kazinsky all star too! The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink
of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc
warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens

faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision
course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and

Epic pleasures for you today (with the news coming from CBS that in January 2017 they will launch new STAR TREK TV series!) starting with Universal's announcement that they have slightly changed the title of their latest video game adaptation: WARCRAFT: THE BEGINNING has also gotten a new poster ahead of the trailer release this Friday showing main characters Orgrim (Robert Kazinsky) and Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel) split by the Dragon Sword! Obviously viewed as the first in the franchise of films, it will open in cinemas next 
summer set in the mystical epic world of Azeroth! Dont forget to tune in Friday for the mindblowing trailer, below is the short teaser of it. 
But probably the biggest epic treat today is the lavish and expensive looking first trailer for BBC historical series WAR AND PEACE along with a new poster (an unpleasantly bizarre one glamorising death instead of focusing on the tragedy of war, obviously since it was made for the US audience)! The trailer looks as impressive as its star studded cast is: James Norton, Jim Broadbent, Gillian Anderson, Jack Lowden, Greta Scacchi, Rebecca Front, Stephen Rea, Aneurin Barnard, Brian Cox, Lily James, Paul Dano are all the members of the huge ensemble cast. Following five aristocratic families the epic six episode 
series is set in the 1869 French invasion of Mother Russia, and will, something tells me, air in UK probably around Christmas, with Lifetime, History and A&E airing it next year around the world. 
When it comes to new historical series, 'Deadline' reports that OZ and LAW AND ORDER star Chris Meloni will lead WGN America's new mini series UNDER GROUND, a slavery drama revolving around a number of slaves who begin a 600-mile journey to freedom from a plantation in Georgia. They are helped along the way by an abolitionist couple who run an UNDERGROUND Railroad station. Chris Meloni will play a mercenary while DRACULA's Jessica De Gouw will be playing a socialite who backs the abolitionist views shared by her husband.
Meanwhile, Fox has hired TRUE BLOOD's Rob Kazinsky as the lead star of their FRANKENSTEIN show which will have a contemporary setting since he will play a retired and morally corrupt cop named Ray Pritchard, who is given a chance to change his ways when he is resurrected. Although the reanimated Ray is described as "athletic, strong and handsome", his mind is actually 75 years old! You will also watch Kazinsky in the big screen adaptation of WARCRAFT!
