Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer castmate James Marsters is set to invade Syfy's Caprica

Actor James Marsters will make his debut as Barnabus Greely, an enigmatic and dangerous leader in the monotheist world on the upcoming Caprica episode, "Know Thy Enemy". Excited about his series' appearance, Marsters dropped by to chat about the experience. Here's what he had to say:

I was wondering, you know, I watched the clips, I haven't watched the whole episode yet but I watched the clip where you're mortifying yourself with barbed wire and stuff. What do you feel like you're playing such a, you know, devout religious character after playing so many kind of ant-religious characters throughout your career.

James Marsters: I love anybody who has convictions enough to make mistakes because only people who make mistakes get into enough trouble to be called drama, I think.

Right. Right.

James Marsters: So,...

James Marsters, who played the bleached blond vampire Spike on Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and its spinoff "Angel," approves of the new breed of vampires that have taken over pop culture, especially the ones in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" novels.

"I like them man. They got my niece to read," Marsters says on a conference call to promote his guest starring role on "Caprica." "She wasn't reading a lot, but she hit 'Twilight' and just ate them up and read them five, 10 times. Now she's on to other vampire romances. She reads like a novel a day now. So, go Stephenie Meyer."

And although he acknowledges that Meyer's vamps follow the successful formula that Anne Rice used, making the vampires less monstrous and more "ancient creatures with heart," he says that was the opposite of how "Buffy" creator Whedon approached the fantastical beings.

"He really wanted the...

The format of the History Channel’s Moonshot is a strange one. Similar to their prior Manson, the film contains both authentic documentary footage (interviews in that film, and verite footage of actual events in this one) and fictionalized re-enactments, but unlike that film, this one has the distinct disadvantage of following in the footsteps of many, many well-produced films and television shows about Nasa in the 1960s, whereas nothing comparable had really been produced about Manson. That’s not always a liability (Lord knows they’ll always be enough room in national consciousness for another television movie about Hitler), but Moonshot turns it into one, taking too many cues from prior films to make its pseudo-documentary style feel like anything other than a cost saving gimmick.

Odds are good that if you went through an American high school at some point in the last forty years, you are at...

Who Is Kk Downey? - DVD Review

There is such a need to become famous nowadays.

When you break it down, fame isn’t really a commodity that can be stored away, saved for later, or preserved. It’s fleeting when and if it happens and it is gone just as quickly. What makes this movie such a delight is its meditation on the nature of fame but it does so with the kind of obnoxiousness that requires a humorist’s touch.

Made by the folks of Kidnapper Films,...

Sci-fi TV

Forty years ago today, Man walked on the Moon, fulfilling the dreams of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and countless science fiction writers. Expect more celebratory TV and Internet news stories as well as a few documentaries. The crown jewel, however, is Moonshot, a British-made docudrama recounting preparations for the Apollo 11 mission as well as the actual lunar landing (premiering 9 p.m. tonight on the History Channel, with several rebroadcasts later this week). Daniel Lapaine is Neil Armstrong with Starlog favorite James Marsters (Spike on Buffy and Angel) as Buzz Aldrin and Andrew Lincoln as Michael Collins.

Of course, if you want to program your own Lunar Film Festival, via DVD and VHS, you might select from First Men In The Moon, Destination Moon, Moon Zero Two, Marooned, Countdown, APOLL0 13, The Right Stuff and the From The Earth To The Moon...

"On July 20, 1969, three men made history as the men on a mission to land on the moon. The eight-day journey aboard Apollo 11 was one of the most watched events ever. This film tells what it was like to be at the heart of the mission that changed the world. I know, my name is Buzz Aldrin. I was there."

The Moon was once a source of bizarre science-fiction and fantasy stories because it was such an unexplored mystery.

All that changed on July 20, 1969. History was made as the first men landed and walked on the moon.

The Apollo 11 mission was one of the most watched events ever and the amazing story is recreated in the docu-drama Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11, on ITV at 10.50pm on Monday, exactly 40 years after the landing.

Starring Daniel Lapaine (Hotel Babylon, Muriel's Wedding) as Neil Armstrong, James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer,...

The historic story of the first men on the moon is retold on ITV on Monday in the docu-drama Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11.

With more than 50 per cent of the show set in space, Moonshot posed unique challenges for production company Dangerous Films.

Dan Parry, head of research at Dangerous, tells the Coventry Telegraph how it was all achieved, including how they borrowed a trick to simulate zero-gravity from Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film of Arthur C Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Here's what he had to say:

"We built the interiors of two spacecraft - a lunar module and a command module, and each was about 10 per cent larger than the real thing. The larger size allowed us to squeeze in lights and cameras, which we could only do successfully by designing the spacecraft in such a way that they could be opened up like a dolls house.

Rome -- Astronaut Buzz Aldrin will be a special guest of honor at the third RomaFictionFest, Rome's international television fiction festival, the event's organizers said Wednesday.

The unlikely guest will be on hand for the world premiere of the History Channel's TV movie "Moonshot: The Flight of Apollo 11," directed by Richard Dale. Aldrin was one of the three astronauts on the Apollo 11 flight, along with Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins.

The screening will take place on the festival's opening night, July 6 -- exactly two weeks shy of the 40th anniversary of the date Apollo 11 became the first flight to land on the moon.

The festival concludes July 11.
