Sci-Fi Storm

Next Monday (October 1st) is the mid-season finale for Warehouse 13! In the episode things come to a head as the Warehouse’s battle against an unspeakable power that has steadily consumed Artie Nielsen (Saul Rubinek) comes to a devastating conclusion!

Explains Jack Kenny, Executive Producer, Warehouse 13: “In a surprising and thrilling culmination of the evil that Artie created when he used Magellan’s Astrolabe in the season premiere, Eddie, Myka, Claudia and Steve chase Artie across the world to prevent him from unleashing a far worse menace on humanity.”

Warehouse 13 returns in April 2013 with 10 all-new episodes of season four.

Haven is back! Check out this sneak peek of this week’s episode, which airs Friday at 10/9c on Syfy!

J.J. Abrams is teaming up with Oscar-nominated director Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) to develop a fantasy drama series for NBC about “a girl in possession of a great gift/powers — which will come into their own in seven years — and the man who is sprung from prison to protect her from those trying to hunt her down.” Cuarón will direct and co-write the script with Mark Friedman (Home of the Brave, The Forgotten), with it being produced by WBTV and Abrams’ Bad Robot.

NBC has given a pilot production commitment.

Since the Seventh Series of Doctor Who is being split into two parts (with Part 2 due either during the holidays or early 2013), it is no surprise that the [sfs=1259]Blu-ray[/sfs]/[sfs=1260]DVD[/sfs] release is also being split up.
