Syfy announces that its critically-acclaimed hit reality competition series Face Off will return for a sixth season in January 2014, introducing 14 new makeup artists in what will be Face Off’s boldest season yet. In the new season the contestants will face extreme challenges that will inspire them to create the most magnificent characters and creatures in Face Off history. And coming this November, Syfy debuts two original Face Off specials – “Naked and Painted” and “Judges’ Favorites”.
Season five of Face Off is in all new episodes Tuesday nights at 9PM ET/PT on Syfy. In tomorrow night’s episode, the remaining five are tasked with creating an original dark elf warrior character. The remaining five artists on season five are Miranda Jory of Los Angeles, CA; Laney Parkhurst of Manitou Beach, MI; Tate Steinsiek of Morris, OK; Laura Tyler of Orlando, FL; and Roy Wooley of Tucker, GA.
The competition culminates with the season five finale on Tuesday, November 5 at 9PM (ET/PT) when the final three contestants each create two lead characters from Swan Lake: a woman transforming into a swan and the sorcerer who casts the spell on her. These finale makeups will be put to the test in an epic performance by the Los Angeles Ballet.

by Doc on Oct.18, 2013, under Television
Not a ton of details, but Deadline reports that another Philip K. Dick story, Martian Time-Slip is being developed by Electric Shepherd Productions and Isa Dick Hackett, daughter of the author, with Dee Rees (Pariah) writing and planning to direct.
Electric Shepherd Productions is the shingle run by Dick’s children and produced The Adjustment Bureau and has several other films in development including King of the Elves for Disney.
Martian Time-Slip is about an autistic boy named Manfred who appears to be able to see the future. During a land boom on Mars, many try to take advantage of Manfred to see the future and know the value of the land they are buying – but are they seeing the real future, or Manfred’s dark vision of it?

by Doc on Oct.16, 2013, under Television
Star Wars: The Clone Wars may be over, but the story goes on…Star Wars Rebels will begin next Fall, and Dave Filoni is giving us a little taste, courtesy of this video shown at New York Comic-Con. And we get a glimpse of Rebels Big Bad…a Pau’an known only at this point as the Imperial Inquisitor, who is sent by Darth Vader to hunt down the surviving Jedi…which makes me wonder if there were more survivors than just Yoda and Obi-Wan…and whether Ahsoka might make an appearance.
Star Wars Rebels takes place in the interim between Episodes III and IV.
