Stop me if you've heard this one before: once upon a time, in the uncharted territories of deep space, a rag tag group of misfits joined forces to help the denizens of the galaxy resist a fascistic, oppressive peacekeeping force. These misfits are made up of a wisecracking man plucked from his home planet of Earth, a militaristic warrior woman upon whom he has a crush (and the feeling is mutual), a kooky alien with healing properties that even other aliens find bizarre, a muscular brute with a heart of gold, and a bitter little guy who appears to be completely selfish but, deep down, is fiercely loyal.

If you've already asked me to stop and said "those are the Guardians of the Galaxy," well hold your frelling horses, friend: I'm talking about the crew of Moya, the living ship, from the TV series "Farscape." The series, produced by the Jim Henson Company,...

Actor Ben Browder is truly no stranger to starring in science-fiction shows. In fact, he was in high demand for those roles in the early-to-mid aughts. Browder was particularly perfect on the series "Farscape" as John Crichton, an American astronaut who ends up going through a wormhole and finds himself surrounded by the universe's most ragtag group of aliens misfits on a living ship called the Moya. On "Farscape," which was designed by its creators to be the "anti-'Star Trek,'" Browder was both brash and boyishly charming, a kind of silly-but-smart 20th century Captain Kirk, and the team behind the "Stargate" franchise knew he was ideal for their newest spin-off, "Stargate: Atlantis." There was just one little (big) problem: he was a little busy filming the "Farscape" follow-up miniseries "The Peacekeeper Wars."

The "Stargate" creative team was so anxious to get Browder on "Atlantis" that he was almost cast as two different characters.

For Farscape's anniversary this year, Shout! TV will be re-airing the Farscape 25th Anniversary Marathon on March 19th, and Gigi Edgley will be doing a live watch-along on Shout! TV’s YouTube and Twitch channels on March 18th. Additionally, Shout! Studios is running special discounts on Farscape: The Complete Series on Fandango At Home and Apple in celebration of the anniversary. To celebrate with them, MovieWeb is re-running this exclusive interview with Farscape star and sci-fi legend, Ben Browder.

We live in an era where aliens, intergalactic travel, and superpowers are accepted in mainstream blockbusters, but this is honestly a somewhat recent phenomenon. Aside from Star Wars and Amblin Entertainment films, prior to the '90s (and the advent of CGI and digital VFX), sci-fi was generally relegated to B-Movie status, with most 'serious' filmmakers and actors unfortunately avoiding the genre as much as they could. With the MCU,...

Following its 10th season in 2007, "Stargate Sg-1" was cancelled by the Sci-Fi channel. A 10-season run is impressive, though, especially considering "Sg-1" was almost axed after season 8 to make way for another series. By season 8, star Richard Dean Anderson had decided to step away from his role as Jack O'Neill on "Sg-1," and a new series seemed like the way to go in his absence. A never-realized spin-off series, entitled "Stargate Command," would have seen Ben Browder's Colonel Cameron Mitchell and Beau Bridges' Major General Hank Landry lead an all-new show that incorporated elements of the original. Ultimately, however, the decision was made to continue with "Sg-1," and ideas for "Command" were integrated into the show's final two seasons. But this wouldn't be the first time "Sg-1" writers pivoted from their original plans.

Throughout the series' 10-year run, there were multiple changes and last-minute decisions made that altered the course of the show.

He soon discovers that a series of hieroglyphics could potentially lead them to several Stargates. Stargate Sg-1 stars Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Don S. Davis, Corin Nemec, Ben Browder, Beau Bridges, and Claudia Black.

Tony Todd, prolific actor and horror icon, passed away in 2024, leaving behind an impressive filmography full of memorable roles. Beginning with his first real Hollywood role as Sergeant Warren in Oliver Stone's Oscar-winning "Platoon," Todd then began his journey towards becoming a horror legend by playing Ben in Tom Savini's "Night of the Living Dead" remake — a major milestone on his path to playing the titular "Candyman" in Bernard Rose's celebrated 1992 supernatural horror film. He'd continue his run as a staple of the horror genre after that, ultimately becoming the personification of Death in the "Final Destination" film series.

But horror wasn't the only genre that Todd became known for. The imposing, six-foot five-inch star also made a name for himself in beloved sci-fi series, playing Kurn, the Klingon brother of Worf in both "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Deep Space Nine." In fact, Todd once...

Elsewhere, Ainsley defies her father's orders by following her desire to be with Ryder while Angela continues her "calling" in the retirement home.

All four seasons of Farscape are filled with colorful and compelling characters, but certain figures stand out among the rest in the sprawling fictitious universe. Running between 1999 and 2003, Farscape was one of the most underappreciated sci-fi shows but is still championed by its devoted fan base. Farscape put a fresh spin on overused sci-fi tropes while also staying true to its space opera label. Although there were several reasons the show is so enjoyable, the chemistry that exists between the various members of the Farscape cast is one of the biggest factors.

Farscape centers around Ben Browder's John Crichton, an astronaut who has been flung to a distant part of space and stranded there. The show chronicles Crichton's attempts to return to Earth, but the task is very often shelved in favor of trying to survive alongside his newfound family. The show is a co-production between various studios, one...

If any sole character can be described as the heart of Farscape, it would have to be Aeryn Sun. Ben Browder's John Crichton character may have been the leading man, but Aeryn Sun, played by Claudia Black, was the show's centerpiece. Her redemption arc ranks among the best in the sci-fi genre, proving to be a constant anchor for stories throughout the franchise.

Aeryn's character arc is officially completed in Farscape #24 by Rockne O'Bannon, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and Will Sliney. Farscape's abrupt cancelation in 2003 put a roadblock to the development that Aeryn and the rest of the cast were going through, forcing the creators to settle on wrapping the series in the Peacekeeper Wars miniseries. Thankfully, Boom! Studios swooped in for a canonical continuation, ending with this issue.

Aeryn appears again in Boom! Studios' more recent Farscape: 25th Anniversary Special in 2024, but as far as her arc goes,...

When Gene Roddenberry first created Star Trek, The Original Series was not a hit. It wasn't until the show hit syndication that it found a second life and spawned two new waves of series and a massive feature film franchise. Since then, many other producers and storytellers have tried to create the next Star Trek, but they were doomed to fail. Some haven't aged well and never made it beyond a single season. Others were unquestionably successful shows, running for more than 100 episodes, spawning spinoffs and companion films.

Though some of these shows have extremely passionate fans, none of them reached the heights that Star Trek did nor are they as bankable a storytelling universe. In its sixth decade, Star Trek is likely Paramount's most profitable franchise and the studio continues to develop new series and films set in that universe. While every series has its merits and is beloved by some fans,...

Stargate Sg-1 follows a top-secret military operation that explores the galaxy via the Stargate. It creates wormholes that lead to other planets and dangerous enemies. The series was a continuation of the 1994 film Stargate, starring Kurt Russell and James Spader. Stargate Sg-1 ran for ten years, making it one of the longest-running sci-fi shows ever; it also had spin-off series and direct-to-dvd movies after the show ended in 2007.

With 10 seasons under its belt, Stargate Sg-1 had its ups and downs. It moved networks, went through major cast changes, and traversed all sorts of alien planets. The series is still arguably one of the best sci-fi shows of all time, but not all the seasons are equal. The best ones balance action, adventure, humor and meaningful storytelling.

Season 9 Tried to Do Too Much Aired in 2005 With 20 Episodes

Season nine of Stargate Sg-1 had a tough job to do following season eight.

Kurt Russell delivered an unforgettable performance as Colonel Jack ONeill in the 1994 sci-fi blockbuster movie, Stargate, but he chose not to make an appearance in its follow-up TV series. Directed by Roland Emmerich, the movie was an adventure of sorts that featured a unique premise about an ancient portal connecting Earth to distant worlds. Russells character, crucial to the movie, was a hardened military man with a skeptical attitude; he led the expedition and braved a desert landscape filled with unknown dangers. The first entry in the Stargate universe, it was a box office success, grossing nearly $200 million worldwide.

The popularity of Stargate led to the creation of the TV series Stargate Sg-1, which premiered in 1997. The show expanded on the movies concept and saw the central team of military personnel and scientists as they continued voyaging through the Stargate to explore various planets and fight alien threats. Stargate Sg-1...

While not exactly manual labor, acting can be quite physically strenuous, including for actors working in television. From the long working hours to arduous stunts and strain on mental health, television acting is hard work. These working conditions can occasionally lead to the performers becoming physically ill from their experiences, sometimes affecting the actors for the rest of their lives. In fact, some of the most iconic TV shows in the history of the medium have had notable instances where their actors have become sick from the experience.

Here are several major instances of actors becoming physically sick from their TV show roles. In many of these incidents, the afflicted actors pushed through, and their ill performance actually made final cut of the episodes, becoming a part of television broadcast history. But, as they say in Hollywood, the show must go on and these actors definitely demonstrated their full commitment...

TV and Farscape TV. It's a great opportunity to revisit or introduce yourself to the show that marked a major transition for the sci-fi genre, focusing more on series-long arcs instead of episodic television, and shifting from the darker space opera period of '80s and '90s sci-fi to a much funnier, action-packed, and charming environment. At the dawn of the millennium,...

We have good news to share, horror fans. There's another new horror movie you should be on the lookout for this August, and it's the film Strange Darling, starring Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner. This movie joins other theatrical horror flicks slated to be released in August, such as Cuckoo starring Hunter Schafer and M. Night Shyamalan's Trap.

Strange Darling is a horror-thriller written and helmed by indie American genre filmmaker Jt Mollner. This is his second feature. He's best known for writing the script for and directing the Western film Outlaws and Angels, which stars Chad Michael Murray, Francesca Eastwood, Teri Polo, Frances Fisher, Luke Wilson, Madisen Beaty, and Ben Browder. Joining Mollner in the crew is Giovanni Ribisi, who not only produced the horror-thriller flick but also served as Director of Photography. Other producers of the film include Bill Block, Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, and Chris Ivan Cevic.

Fabulous Films will be releasing Farscape: The Complete Series Blu-ray 25th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray in the UK on 10th June 2024.

The epic sci-fi classic Farscape is a fusion of live-action, state-of-the-art puppetry, prosthetics and CGI. Edge-of-your-seat thrills, irreverent humour, unforgettable characters and mind-boggling alien lifeforms are brought to life by the creative minds of Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. No wonder it’s been called the most imaginative sci-fi series in television. Now sit back and enjoy all 88 episodes of Farscape: The Complete Series Blu-ray 25th Anniversary Edition now in high definition.

Writer and director of the Guardians of the Galaxy film series James Gunn (now also Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DC Studios) is a fan of Farscape and has admitted he drew inspiration from the series. Gunn approached Ben Browder who plays John Crichton in Farscape to suggest an appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

25 years ago The Sci-Fi channel (SyFy these days) brought onto the airwaves a series unlike any ever seen before. Farscape took the idea of weird and ran with it in a universe filled with the bizarre, the beautiful, and both at the same time.

Created by Rockne S. O’Bannon, the man behind Alien Nation, Farscape introduced viewers to creatures and aliens of all different shapes and sizes. Some of them were people and others were beyond anything we could imagine. And we all saw it and experienced it alongside lost astronaut and scientist John Crichton, played by Ben Browder. Crichton was the only Actual human around and was the perfect stand in for the rest of us.

The series would be brought to life by the Jim Henson Creature Shop under the eye of Brian Henson (who we interviewed yesterday). The shop would create and design various aliens that were both puppet and person…...

Farscape, the Australian Sci-Fi TV show, follows John Crichton's intergalactic adventures with aliens and advanced technology in space battles. Despite its popularity, Farscape was canceled due to high production costs and lack of funding, preventing any official reboot or continuation. Plans for webisodes and a potential movie adaptation have fallen through, but hope remains for a return to TV in the future.

Launched on the SyFy channel on March 19, 1999, Farscape is an Australian Science Fiction TV show produced by The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark Entertainment. The premise concerns an eclectic group of astronauts led by John Crichton (Ben Browder) engaging in various intergalactic missions while fighting an authoritarian regime called The Peacekeepers. Farscape remained on the Nine Network for four seasons and 88 episodes, gaining a rabid fanbase before the show was canceled in 2003.

Despite being off the air for nearly 20 years, Farscape has flirted with a small-screen continuation...

There is special Farscape anniversary programming beginning at 2pm today, March 19th. Head to the bottom of the article for links and details.

On March 19, 1999, viewers were introduced to the world of Farscape, a science fiction series inhabited by strange aliens on the other side of the universe. Produced by The Henson Company, Farscape continued the company's celebrated history of creating a magical world peopled with both humans and puppets. Ahead of its time, the series challenged the norms of '90s television by introducing more serialized storytelling and upended many of the common tropes of the time. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, Farscape's impact can be found across science fiction storytelling, with a notable impact on massive blockbusters like the Guardians of the Galaxy series.

Set in the uncharted territories, Farscape begins on Earth with John Crichton (Ben Browder) in the middle of an experiment when an anomaly thrusts his spacecraft through a wormhole.

Shout! TV is airing a Farscape marathon on March 19 for the cult science fiction series' 25th anniversary, and Collider has a Leviathan-sized giveaway to tie in with it. One lucky winner will get a gorgeous Farscape poster signed by series stars Ben Browder and Gigi Edgely and executive producer Brian Henson. The poster features stunning and classic imagery from the series with John Crichton (Browder) and Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) front and center, surrounded by Chiana (Edgley), Scorpius (Wayne Pygram), and more.

Sci-fi was once looked down upon and relegated to "the ghetto" of media, according to actor Ben Browder, but Farscape helped pave the way for complex, binge-worthy stories that are now common. Farscape was a transitional piece of television that influenced the genre's evolution, showcasing heavy, complicated arcs ahead of its time. Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Farscape with a marathon featuring new interviews and content and classic episodes.

We live in an era where aliens, intergalactic travel, and superpowers are accepted in mainstream blockbusters, but this is honestly a somewhat recent phenomenon.

Farscape is celebrating its 25th anniversary on March 19th with a massive marathon on Shout! Factory TV and appearances from the cast and crew with new content for the fans.

Ben Browder half-jokingly confronted Gunn of stealing his show, but finds pride in influencing Guardians of the Galaxy. Browder told Gunn about the similarities between Farscape and Guardians of the Galaxy at an event, leading to his cameo in Guardians 2. Browder acknowledges the influence of past sci-fi works, including Farscape, on shaping the genre. The past will always be an influence.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or at least that's how the saying goes. However, it still must be strange to look at another person's art and see direct correlations between it and past work you've done. So it was for actor Ben Browder, famous for his role as John Crichton in the Syfy series Farscape, when he first saw James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy.

25 years ago, Farscape was one of the series that helped launch the then burgeoning Sci Fi Channel (now Syfy), and focused...

March will soon mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the beloved sci-fi television series, Farscape. With the anniversary of the show's debut on the former Sci-Fi Channel, it's a good time to revisit what made this grand epic such a beloved and enduring favorite that's still remembered to this day. Farscape featured an excellent cast, not to mention amazing visual effects and creature puppetry by The Jim Henson Company. However, what truly set Farscape apart were the charismatic performance of Ben Browder's John Crichton, Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) and Crichton's whirlwind romance, and the nonhuman and alien creatures as effervescent three-dimensional personalities.

Farscape was a unique sci-fi show with simple elements that made a strong impression. Farscape follows John Crichton, a Han Solo-like leader who commands a ship into unknown dangers. Farscape's aliens, made by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, still hold up in a series far ahead of its time.

The late Jim Henson believed that puppets could tell adult as well as children's stories. But while he made a few moves in that direction -- notably with projects like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal -- he died before he could fully realize it. However, his son Brian took the ball and ran with it, joining forces with TV veteran Rockne S. O'Bannon to create Farscape. The show first premiered in 1999 and looked like nothing else in sci-fi. With the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises sticking resolutely to formula and new arrivals like The Matrix shying away from space opera,...

In Aug. 2017 -- a few months after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. had become a massive hit for the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- director James Gunn posted an Instagram photo showing him and actor Ben Browder behind the scenes on the film. Browder had previously starred in Farscape, the cult classic series that ran from 1999 through 2003. In the post, Gunn confirmed the series as "one of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time," and that Browder's appearance was a way for the Guardians movies to acknowledge the creative connection.

It goes more than skin deep. With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 presumably closing out this corner of the MCU, it's more apparent than ever just how much Farscape has inspired Gunn's work on the Guardians movies. Between Star Trek and Star Wars, there isn't much room for modern space opera to carve out its own identity. Farscape managed it,...

As the lead couple of Farscape, John Crichton (Ben Browder) and Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) were featured in a love story as memorable as the science fiction series it took place in. In a new exclusive clip from The Farscape Fandemonium Marathon, executive producers of the show, Brian Henson and Rockne O'Bannon discuss the chemistry between the two stars, as they are interviewed by Adam Savage during the upcoming special presentation. The pair explained how the relationship came to be in an industry where showrunners were advised not to put their leads together, opting for the tension between them to keep audiences hooked to programming.

Prior to being named as the new creative head of the Dcu, James Gunn changed the future of the MCU with his outrageous, creative style in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. While the spacebound adventures were certainly popular among loyal fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they shared some qualities with Gunn’s past films in their sharp cultural references and offbeat humor. To emphasize that point, both of the Guardians of the Galaxy films featured surprising cameos from some of Gunn’s frequent co-stars and friends, including Nathan Fillion, Seth Green, Lloyd Kaufman, Tyler Bates, Maria Bakalova, Ben Browder, Molly Quinn, and David Hasselhoff among others. However, one voice you may have been surprised to hear in the MCU is that of cult filmmaker and musician Rob Zombie.

This actually looks surprisingly quite epic, like they're trying to pull off making Predator for Bigfoot on an indie budget. Here's the first official trailer (+ two posters) for Matt Allen's Hoax,...

The McU gets cosmic in James Gunn's brilliantly bonkers space opera – a film that opened up the shared universe to new possibilities

This article comes from Den of Geek UK.

This article contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy and the wider McU.

Guardians of the Galaxy’s classic triumph of the underdog story is well known by now. Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had experienced some ups and downs – Thor: The Dark World was one of the McU’s least well received and lowest performing movies, and Iron Man 3, though performing well financially, was a real opinion-splitter. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, on the other hand, while taking less at the box office, was one of the most critically acclaimed McU films and anticipation was at fever pitch for Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

Guardians of the Galaxy was scheduled for release in between those two major,...

Director James Gunn praises the cameo work of Farscape star Ben Browder during Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on his Instagram page.

Ben Browder's film Bad Kids of Crestview Academy starts with a bang, with a Swat-team storming a school. The policemen find mutilated bodies, a crashed Porsche, and a schoolgirl who literally opens fire on them (pun intended: she uses a flamethrower). Flashback to 8 hours earlier, when said schoolgirl arrived at Crestview Academy for a day of detention, together with four spoilt-rotten-rich kids. So what the hell happened in those eight hours? That mystery, in short, is the motor which keeps the film moving. And it's unfortunate that it runs out of gas a little too fast, because up to the third act there is actually a lot of fun to be had. Bad Kids of Crestview Academy is the sequel to Matthew Spradlin's 2012...

You all remember 2012’s comic adaptation of Bad Kids Go To Hell, right? Probably not. Most seem to have missed Matthew Spradlin’s under-the-radar private school thriller, but – nevertheless – Ben Browder makes his directorial debut with the film’s follow-up sequel, Bad Kids Of Crestview Academy. Once again, a handful of rebellious, not-so-angelic students find themselves serving a deadly detention sentence where anything goes. Sex, drugs and adorable kitten videos – these kids are anarchists to the core, soaked in spoiled-teens-so-rotten-you-want-them-dead appeal. Welcome back to creator Barry Wernick’s educational house of horrors, just don’t mind the stripped-down nature of this barebones continuation.

Sammi Hanratty stars as Siouxsie Hess, a Crestview student seeking vengeance after the death of her sister Alyson (Ashlyn McEvers). Not too long ago, the academy held a party where Siouxsie’s sister supposedly committed suicide. A handful of students corroborated the same story, all of whom...

The Breakfast Club anthem "Don't You (Forget About Me)" might start playing in your head when you think of Saturday detention, but the troublemakers at Crestview Academy have a lot more to worry about than Principal Vernon during their weekend punishment in the official trailer for Bad Kids of Crestview Academy.

Synopsis: "Based on the best-selling graphic novel series, a group of spoiled “bad kids” have been placed in Saturday detention at the prestigious Crestview Academy. After one of the kids locks away their teacher, they find themselves trapped in school with no way out, wondering who (or what) set them up. Their ranks quickly dwindle as each falls victim to a gruesome “accident” while trying to escape."

Directed by Ben Browder, written by Barry Wernick and James R. Hallam, and based on the Bad Kids Go to Hell graphic novel series, Bad Kids of Crestview Academy stars Drake Bell,...

Exclusive: Sean Astin and Gina Gershon star in the tongue-in-cheek mystery thriller sequel.

Morris Ruskin’s Los Angeles-based sales company will introduce Bad Kids Of Crestview Academy to international buyers once the market gets underway next week.

eOne has set a Us theatrical and VOD launch for January 13, 2017, on the sequel to 2012’s Bad Kids Go To Hell.

Ben Browder directs the graphic novel adaptation about a group of students in detention on school grounds who fall victim to a series of mysterious accidents.

“I’m as thrilled for us to represent Bad Kids as I was to watch it,” said Shoreline Entertainment CEO Ruskin. “It’s a particularly well-made film that never forgets to be fun, and we’re eager to play a part in its entertainment of audiences around the world.”

Melody Djavadi and Hannah Lawrence of Shoreline brokered the deal with producer-writers Barry Wernick, James R. Hallam and Matthew Sparadlin.

New Mexico in the late 19th century, as shown in Jt Mollner’s “Outlaws and Angels,” is a land where zealotry and hypocrisy go hand and hand, where Thomas Hobbes’ “nasty, brutish and short” characterization of human nature guides every interpersonal relationship. While that may not be an inaccurate characterization of what small-town life was like in the American Southwest during the Cleveland administration, “Outlaws and Angels” overestimates its own elegance, delivering a misguided ode to frontier ugliness.

Fittingly, “Outlaws and Angels” opens with a bloodbath, a bank heist gone wrong that leaves a Us Marshall dead. The gang responsible for the crime, armed by ringleader Henry (Chad Michael Murray) and laden with the fruits of their labor, quickly seek refuge from their newly-earned bounty. Starving and with no means of transportation across the Mexican border, the group happens on an unassuming farmhouse, home to the local preacher George Tildon...

Like a heavy Southern drawl that lazily meanders through conversation, Outlaws And Angels drags its scenes far longer than contextually necessary. Imagine a Southerner leaking “Hooowwwwdddyyy folkssssss!” like a deflating balloon instead of clear, concise dictation (“Howdy!” and done). Characters just glare at the screen as director Jt Mollner has a field-day with zoom ins and outs that turn his dried-out, rawhide script into a crackly piece of fragile leather. Overindulgence mars this grim, rough-and-tumble Western splatterfest, which is comparable to a more interesting (but still tiresome) take take on Jane Got A Gun (with a darker, strangely jovial mean streak). Death certainly was a byproduct of the Old West, but could people really be so terse about it all?

Mollner’s tale of frontier justice follows three robbers who interrupt a family’s dinner and demand safe haven for the night. Led by a ruthless drifter named Henry (Chad Michael Murray...
