   'SPACE OPERA' IS LIKE

INTERGALACTIC EUROSONG

Have you ever tried to envision legendary Eurovision Song Contest in space? That is what kinda happens in Catherynne M. Valente's sf novel

Space Opera will be adapted over at Universal

SPACE OPERA which will be adapted into a film over at Universal by Joe Epstein. The story centres around a fierce musical contest in outer space known as the Metagalactic Grand Prix. Part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza and part continuation of the wars of the past, species far and wide compete in feats of song and dance. Those who place well are revered and those who fail face sudden extermination for their entire species. However, Earth just stumbled upon this new galaxy and, in an effort of diplomacy, decides to compete and sends Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes to rep the planet as they roll the dice on their fate.

   SEXTUPLETS TRAILER IN WHICH

MARLON WAYANS PLAYS THEM ALL

Sextuplets hit Netflix in two weeks!

Netflix has, meanwhile, released the trailer for their hilarious comedy movie SEXTUPLETS in which Marlon Wayans plays all six main characters!  The story follows Alan, who grew up thinking he was an only child. Ahead of welcoming his first kid, he goes in search of his birth mother and learns the truth: he’s not an only child… not by a long shot. Wayans also plays Alan’s sister and every single one of his four brothers: Russell (who helps Alan learn of their sextuplet status), Ethan (who can smell that “Republican money”), Baby Pete (the name matches his stature), Dawn (an exotic dancer about to be released from prison), and Jaspar (seemingly, the intellectual of the siblings). The comedy is out August 16th!

KEANU REEVES, ISLA FISHER TO LEAD 'STARLING' TOUCHING DRAMA! SANDRINE HOLT TO LEAD 'CROSSING' SF SERIES, ZACH GILFORD DWAYNE JOHNSON'S 'LIFELINE' SF SHOW

 KEANU REEVES TO LEAD

'THE STARLING' WITH ISLA FISHER

 Here's a lovely plot: as 'Deadline' reports today, Keanu Reeves and Isla Fisher should lead drama movie THE STARLING as a married couple who lose a child and the wife goes into a recovery place to help her with overwhelming grief, leaving the husband at home alone. To help aid in her recovery, the husband decides to build a beautiful garden for his wife in their backyard, but as he does he is tormented by an aggressive, black starling. At his wits end with the relentless nature of the bird, he goes to see a veterinarian to find out if there is a humane way to get rid of it. The vet, the husband finds out, used to be a psychiatrist but gave it up to help animals instead. However, the quirky vet begins counselling the husband in a turn that neither of them really expected. This could be a very emotional role for Keanu whose own girlfriend died a year after they lost their baby.

 'THE CROSSING' SF SERIES

SANDRINE HOLT TO LEAD
Sf TV news today, people! I already informed you earlier this winter that ABC is preparing a pilot for sf series THE CROSSING and now it has been announced that Sandrine Holt will take the lead. It revolves around refugees from a war torn country who start showing up to seek asylum in an American town. But the country these people are from is America and the war they are fleeing is 250 years in the future. The local sheriff with a past, a federal agent, and a mother in search of her missing refugee daughter drive this allegory with a surprising conspiracy at the centre. Holt will be Emma Peralta, a federal customs agent whose keen mind is always processing its surroundings, which allows her to perpetually exude control amongst chaos. Heavily sceptical of the refugees’ story and the concept of time travel, she nonetheless is sympathetic enough to find the truth due to her rough past as an immigrant.

'LIFELINE' SF SERIES

 ZACH GILFORD TO TOPLINE

Another SF series, the first one to be aired at YouTube, Dwayne Johnson produced LIFELINE has just cast one of our personal faves, stunning Zach Gilford in the lead role. Set in the not too distant future, the half hour series is about a little known life insurance company that sends its agents forward 33 days in time to prevent the accidental deaths of its clients. The company’s best agent, Conner Hooks (Zach Gilford), has never missed a save – until he takes on the most personal case of his life. When sixteen year old Norah (Sydney Park) is orphaned on his watch, Conner pledges to protect her, even if that means putting his career at LIFELINE, or his own life, in jeopardy.
