Amazing new Avatar interactive trailer is just ... OK

Twentieth Century Fox has just launched what it's calling a first-of-its-kind "next generation" trailer for Avatar, so described because it delivers an interactive experience that lets viewers access special embedded content and provides real-time feeds of film-related conversations on Twitter, real-time updates on official video content on YouTube and images on Flickr.

FlashForward hits a series low and ABC halts production

The ratings for FlashForward fell yet again with last week's episode, down 8 percent to a new low of only 8 million. And today, according to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has stopped production on the freshman series for this week.

How the apocalyptic The Road could be a sci-fi Oscar winner

Sci-fi films rarely get serious consideration for Academy Awards outside of technical categories such as visual effects, but that could change this year with the post-apocalyptic thriller The Road, which will be making a serious push for the Oscar.

The Road stars Viggo Mortensen in an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's grim book. Mortensen plays a character simply called The Man, a survivor who traverses a scarred American wasteland with his young son. The film's director, John Hillcoat, said the Oscar campaign would center around Mortensen.
