Space Battleship Yamato 2199 trailer.

The new Space Battleship Yamato 2199 cartoon is coming our way soon. Here's the first ten minutes of the premiere. How's your Japanese? Mine is not so good.

Black Widow will eat you.

Here's a new clip of the Avenger Black Widow. Her super-power? Looks like it's totally to kick your ass, as this clip shows. Thanks to SFX magazine for spotting this beauty.

Falling Skies new season

Here's a nice long clip from the second season of the science fiction TV series Falling Skies. I haven't seen this tale of an alien-invaded USA yet, as it has yet to make it to the UK. Not even as a DVD. This seems to have had a mixed reception over in the USA, but unlike Terra Nova, at least it's moving onto a fresh series.

Lara Pulver to be female Doctor Who?

The Daily Express isn't a paper I read very much, but it has a strong entertainment team who have broken a lot of stories, and today's latest via their mole at the BBC… the next Doctor Who will be a woman, the actress Lara Pulver who played a very naughty Irene Adler in the recent Sherlock TV series.

How true is this? Well, SFcrowsnest reported rumours when David Tennant was on the way out that they were considering a female Doctor then. Has the time come for a lady driver at the wheels of the TARDIS? Yes it has. Give Lara the role!

The Avengers

And another trailer surfaces for the upcoming Avengers movie, this one via TV, via YouTube. Ah, what tangled (world-wide) webs we weave.

Ted

The elevator pitch for Ted: "You remember in Golden Compass how everyone had those souls that were like talking mice and cats and shit. Well, let's replace the mice with stuffed toys. And let's make Mark Wahlberg's a teddy bear called Ted. And let's have Ted say mother%$£$%%^ a lot."

If I had taken my agent that idea, I'd have been sectioned. Which is a pity, because I like this idea from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane .

&%$*.

Full trailer for new Total Recall

And here's the full trailer for the rebooted Total Recall movie. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks a lot like the old movie, but with much better CGI. You need the QuickTime plugin to view this puppy.

PBS does steampunk?

You know the PBS – it's like the BBC of the U.S., but without any money. They can still wrap together a decent programme, though, as demonstrated by their take on the steampunk genre.

Battleship trailer.

Dude, you sank my (alien) battleship. This looks like silly fun, despite being taken from a dry, semi-strategic non-scifi board game… just about the worst starting premise for a science fiction movie ever. Peter Berg, you the man.

Superman movie… got logo

There's a new logo for The Man of Steel film just released. It looks like this… with a big 'S'. It's aint 'S' for Surprise, then?
