Sci-fi, this was your chance

Sci-fi, this was your chance

If sci-fi couldn’t succeed in any of the major categories at this year’s Oscars, will the genre ever be well-represented? Expanding the Best Picture category to ten pictures was a gamble for the Academy, especially during a year that was relatively soft on quality releases. I’m not taking anything away from The Hurt Locker’s success … Continued

Looking at 2008

Looking at 2008

So 2008 is upon us and we’re ready to make our first full year a great one. Shouldn’t be too hard – the amount of great sc-fi and fantasy films released this year is extraordinary.

Issue 4 has come back from the printers

Issue 4 has come back from the printers

Issue 4 has just come back from the printers and we’re very happy. Not just because it’s the best issue yet either, but because usually when a magazine comes back you’re almost desensitized to its impact having worked on it so thoroughly for weeks and that’s simply not the case here. Disposing of the next … Continued

Issue 4 flatplan – The excitement

Issue 4 flatplan – The excitement

One of the many joys of being the editor of SciFiNow is that you get a fine choice of highlighter pens. Another perk is that you have many reasons to use them.
