Some happy news today via the SFX website; Sherlock will be returning for 3 more episodes- although perhaps a bit later than we were all hoping.

It seems that our favourite detective won’t be back on our screens for another year with the new episodes slated for Autumn 2011. Given the excellent quality of the recent series, this show being back can only be a good thing.

Blastr (formally Sci-Fi Wire) is putting up a lot of good bits and pieces at the moment. The latest little thing that’s bought a smile to my face is this link to an drawing of real planets compared to fictional ones.

Be sure to pay proper attention to the final couple in the “far, far away region”- a good little joke. But while we’re at it; in this world of new Star Trek, should Vulcan also be listed as “recently destroyed”?

I think this speaks for itself

This is a fun article put together by SyFy’s blastr website. It’s a real mix of SF and fantasy events, featuring such things as The Scorpion King’s defeat to HAL becoming operational.

You can read the full timeline here.

The very first and the final events on the timeline are pretty cool and will probably raise a smile.

And bonus points for including Farscape and The Fountain on there. Nice one!

Since i’m a good old 80′s gaming geek Scott Pilgrim is literally right up my street, when I heard they were doing a film it was mixed feelings because the book’s so insane I thought they would struggle but if anyone can pull this off it’s the epic Mr Edgar Write (of Shaun of the Dead fame).

See what you think of the full length trailer.

This is definitely going to be a love it or hate it style movie, it’s not supposed to make sense or be intelligent but I am sure its going to be funny and effective which is really all it needs. Oh and obviously OTT fight scenes.

As far as casting goes there looks to be some pretty good choices in there, I like Cera anyway, he is a bit “one role” but he is an ace young actor and I’m sure he’s going to get better, most of the female cast I’m unfamiliar with but the style all looks great and we also have Chris “soon to be Captain America” Evans in there too who has always been a decent one in my books.
