Misfits Series Three
Misfits returns to screens later this month for a third series of bonkers superpowers, wildly imaginative swearing and the impromptu expulsion of multiple simultaneous bodily functions, so we donned our biohazard suits and took a trip to the set for a day of zombie cheerleaders, and to meet the latest member of the gang – Rudy. Don’t be a monkeyslut, find out everything you need to know about the new series as we chat to writer/creator Howard Overman and see the new line-up in action in our exclusive behind the scenes pics.
The SFX Hot 50
Is it that time of the year already? After hours of shouting at each other across a large table and throwing the occasional Yoda Pez dispenser, the SFX hive mind has finally settled on a list of the top 50 movers and shakers in the world of science fiction. Did your favourite author/actor/film maker make the cut? Read on to find out!
Immortals
Superman ’s Henry Cavill and director Tarsem Singh do for the Greek Gods what Zack Snyder and Frank Miller did for the Spartans in Immortals . Warning: contains copious levels of scowling, swords and six packs.
Sir Terry Pratchett
The legendary Discworld creator talks candidly to SFX about how science fiction can help in dealing with life’s ups and downs. Not half as pretentious as it sounds.
The Walking Dead Season Two
We go on set for the second season of FX’s phenomenally successful zombie show to chat with the cast and co-executive producer (and zombie make-up legend) Greg Nicotero.
Couch Potato
The couch crew enter Longpoke (aka Rich’s house) for an evening of prison-related SF.
Invaders From Mars
We take a look back at the exceptionally weird alien invasion classic in the latest Time Machine.
