OTHER NEWS
It's been reported that Fox has ordered a new version of the late Carl Sagan’s "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage". "Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey" will be a 13-part series produced by Seth MacFarlane and Sagan’s original collaborators, his widow Ann Druyan and astrophysicist Steven Soter, and will be hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. According to the producers, the new series will take viewers to other worlds and travel across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale.
News from Physicists at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology that Time Travel is not possible may just put a crimp in the future plans of Hollywood writers. Then again, it might not! The research team, led by Professor Du Shengwang, set out to close the debate by measuring the speed of a photon, or the fundamental unit of light.Their conclusion? A single photon cannot be accelerated beyond the speed of light, thus faster-than-light time travel is impossible. However the study says nothing about wormholes and possibilities brought up by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
"Limitless" actor Bradley Cooper is set to turn science fiction series 'Hyperion Cantos' into two feature films.Cooper is working on an adaptation of Dan Simmons' novel series, a complex story set in the distant future about a group of travelers sent on a pilgrimage to the fictional Hyperion universe, and he has revealed it is likely the first two novels will be turned into one movie while the second two will become the sequel.
Director Cary Fukunaga is ready to dive into the world of science fiction with "Spaceless". It concerns an assassin who wakes to find himself floating through space in a suit that is running out of air, fitted with a computer designed to keep him company until he expires. The last thing he remembers is breaking into a space station to carry out a hit, but is he really about to die? Could he be trapped in an artificial reality or simply experiencing the effects of madness? "Pirates Of The Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski is on board as producer.
Alfonso Cuarón‘s 3D sci-fi epic “Gravity” starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock just started filming in June and Warner Brothers has already scheduled the film for a November 21, 2012 release date. The film is an ambitious, mostly one-character piece set on a remote space station. During an expedition outside the station, only the team leader (Clooney) and his female colleague (Bullock) are left alive after an exploding satellite kills the other members of the crew, setting off a desperate race home for the latter to get to her child.

SCIFI NEWS QUOTE OF THE WEEK
There is beauty in space, and it is orderly. There is no weather and there is regularity. It is predictable. Just look at our little Explorer, you can set your clock by it. Literally, it is more accurate than your clock. Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly - Wernher von Braun
