"Prometheus" actress Charlize Theron recently opened up about her role in the movie. While some people have been comparing her character in the film to Sigourney Weaver's Ripley in "Alien", the actress herself admitted, "No, I actually don't play the heroine in it; that's Noomi Rapace. I play somewhat of a villain in it." She further elaborated that her character,
Meredith Vickers, is "not believer, she's not a scientist, she is the
red tape that everyone has to go through."
Only time will tell if Arnold Schwarzenegger is planning to go full throttle to resurrect his acting career, but right now he shows no signs of slowing down since he left office. He started with action flick "The Last Stand" as his first come-back film followed by a reprisal role in "The Expendables 2". Now he’s set to star in a new film called "Black Sands." At first it was thought that it would be another action flick, however just recently he told a fan website himself that there’s a supernatural element in the plot not mentioned previously. Of the role Schwarzenegger says, "I’m a kind of angel."
The first science fiction movie "A Trip To The Moon" is now fully restored. The 1902 film had both a black and white and color version, the latter of which had been assumed long lost until relatively recently.For the past 12 years, film archivists have been working to fully restore the 60-minute color print for a re-release. Check out some before and after pictures: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2011/12/the-first-sci-fi-movie-a-trip-to-the-moon-fully-restored News story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16262815

The 1953 George Pal version of "The War Of The Worlds" has been named one of the 25 films that will be added to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, which lists films
that are considered culturally, historically or aesthetically

future generations.

SCIFI NEWS QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"I'm sure we would not have had men on the Moon if it had not been for Wells and Verne and the people who write about this and made people think about it. I'm rather proud of the fact that I know several astronauts who became astronauts through reading my books." - Arthur C Clarke
