Every Beacon is run by one highly trained human and a specialized A.I. Halan doesn't trust Aster, as not everything is at it seems. This...

The sci-fi thriller series Beacon 23 has taken a bumpy road out into the world.

John Fawcett, original co-creator of the hit sci-fi drama Orphan Black, suggests the upcoming spinoff Orphan Black: Echoes will be a very different show. Running for five seasons between 2013 and 2017, the original Orphan Black starred She-Hulk: Attorney At Law’s Tatiana Maslany as multiple human clones who were all created as part of clandestine genetic experiments. Now, Orphan Black: Echoes, is set to pick up a new story set in the same world as the original show, with Jessica Jones’ Krysten Ritter assuming the lead role.

Fawcett, who serves as an episode director and executive producer on the new series, spoke with RadioTimes.com about what sets it apart from its progenitor. Suggesting that viewers who go in expecting a rehash of the original show will be disappointed, he explains the new series has its own distinct feel and identity. Check out his comments below:

The spin-off is a very different show.

Stars: Jack Fulton, Jaeden Noel, Ava Preston, Dee Wallace, Tashiana Washington | Written by Scott Lobdell | Directed by Bobby Miller

All Drea (Tashiana Washington) wants is to get into a good college, but for now, she’s stuck making deliveries for a local sushi restaurant. One night, after her little brother Phillip (Jaeden Noel) witnesses meteors plummeting to Earth, one of her co-workers is attacked by hungry alien furballs with sharp teeth and big appetites. Yes, the rolling, ravenous critters are back, and soon Drea, Phillip, and two kids she’s babysitting (Ava Preston and Jack Fulton) are running for their lives. They’re also trying to protect an injured friendly alien they come across along the way, but every place they flee to becomes the site of a critter massacre.

I’m not going to lie, I went into Critters Attack! with a mix of trepidation and excitement. On the...

Do you remember the 80s sci-fi horror franchise Critters!? Well, they are making a comeback and the first trailer has been released for the new film, Critters Attack!

This film is a continuation of the original story and Dee Wallace (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial) returns to reprise her role as Helen Brown from the first film. The movie looks like it will offer audiences a fun, silly, and violent experience. One of the charming aspects about the film is that the effects still look like they are from the 80s.

Here’s the synopsis:

Dee Wallace (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), who starred in the original Critters as Helen Brown, will sink her teeth into the franchise for a second time in the mysterious role of Aunt Dee. Inspired by the film series from the ’80s and ’90s, Critters follows 20-year-old Drea (Tashiana Washington), who reluctantly takes a job babysitting for...

The first trailer for Critters Attack is here. The little deadly creatures have been away from the pop culture landscape for nearly three decades now. However, in the modern age of Hollywood, everything old is new again. As such, this particular franchise is getting revived in a big way this year as we're not only getting the recently revealed Critters: A New Binge series over on Shudder, we're also getting this brand new movie, which brings back original franchise star Dee Wallace.

It's a trailer that should delight fans of the series. It starts off with a familiar premise, as the little creatures crash land on Earth and quickly begin devouring unsuspecting humans. Dee Wallace seems to be playing a role similar to that of Jamie Lee Curtis from the most recent Halloween, waiting and preparing for these aliens to return. Based on what we see here, she's more than ready for them.

The Krites recently returned to Earth after more than a 25-year hiatus in Shudder's Critters: A New Binge series, and now they're coming back in feature-length form in the new movie Critters Attack!, featuring Dee Wallace's return to the franchise.

IGN exclusively revealed the first trailer for Critters Attack!, which you can watch below. Wallace, who played Helen Brown in 1986's Critters, this time around plays Aunt Dee, and by the looks of the trailer, she's ready to wage war on the hungry Krites from outer space.

Not all of the Krites are looking to eat through the planet's human population, however, as one of the little space visitors seeks to help the humans in their battle against their newfound furry adversaries.

The new film is described as being "inspired by the film series from the '80s and '90s," so we'll have to wait and see if...
