    'Robot Chicken' Wants To Spoof 'Avatar' and 'Twilight'

    You can keep your unfunny Family Guy Star Wars spoofs - I'll stick with Robot Chicken's, as they're consistently funnier. Much like what they've done with Star Wars, the gang behind Robot Chicken would also like to tackle Avatar and Twilight in much the same way.

    "Mattel made a ton of really sweet Avatar stuff," Seth Green said. "The Twilight stuff we're going to have to make because of the scale. All the Avatar stuff is all similar scale, so we can populate an entire sketch with all of their toys. With Twilight they have to interact with other characters, so the Twilight toys won't work for us."

    As for when we might see these projects:

    "It'll only be about 10 months," Green said. "We're about seven weeks into writing the fifth season. We've got five episodes down, working on the next five."

    Sonya Walger - who fans know best as Penny on Lost - revealed that James Callis (Apollo from Battlestar Galactica) will be joining the cast as a mysterious stranger. So what's so special about this guy? It seems that he's had multiple flashforwards before.

     

    'Warehouse 13' Unites 'Firefly' Stars

    As proven last year, Warehouse 13 loves bringing on other sci-fi stars to guest on their series. The trend looks like it will continue this season too, as it was just announced that Firefly stars - Jewel Staite and Sean Maher will be guesting on the same episode this year. In a twist of fate, instead of Kaylee being in love with Simon and it not being returned, this time around Sean's character will be the one in love with Jewel, who doesn't return the love.

    Felicia Day To Star In Syfy's 'Red'

    I love Felicia Day. I would make a post just saying that and posting pictures of her loveliness and showing you videos of her talent, but luckily today there's also news to post regarding her. I'm not one to usually care about Syfy's crappy Saturday night movies, but Syfy just announced that Felicia Day will be starring in Red for them - an adult retelling of the Little Red Riding story.

    "In the action-packed Red, Red (Day) brings her fiancé home, where he meets the family and learns about their business - hunting werewolves. He's skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him."

    'Tron: Legacy' Trailer Now Live

    We've seen the teaser trailer already, but now the first official trailer for Tron: Legacy is now live for your viewing pleasure. If you want to see it, however, you've got to click on over to the movie's viral website, as we can't currently embed it yet onto our site.

    Somerhalder May Return To 'Lost' Again

    Ian Somerhalder has already been on Lost once this season, where we saw him on the plane in the sideways universe. For those Boone fans out there, it looks like we may be seeing him once again on Lost before the show is over. He wouldn't reveal one way or another, but all he would say is that, "It's in the works."

    'Fringe' Renewed For Third Season

    Fringe fans can now rest easy, as the fate of their show has been decided, and it will indeed be back next year for a third season. The show doesn't bring in amazing numbers, but the network apparently still has faith in it and its ability to perform.

    'Alice In Wonderland' Breaks Record

    Alice In Wonderland was the number one movie this weekend, taking in $116.3 million domestically to set a new record. As reported on Sci-Fi Wire, "Even accounting for ticket-price inflation, that's the biggest-ever (domestic) opening in the first quarter of the year, easily beating the record of $83.8 million set by The Passion of the Christ in 2004."

    'Smallville' Gets A Tenth Season

    As you can probably tell since we've yet to ever have a review of Smallville on this site, nobody on here really watches the show or likes it all that much. Of course, we know it's still got a very loyal fanbase, which is why it doesn't come as much of a surprise that Smallville will be returning next year for its tenth season.

    Smallville joins Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries as other sci-fi/fantasy genre shows returning to The CW next year.

    Michelle Rodriguez Returning To 'Lost'

    Other than Mr. Eko (so far), it seems that every major character in Lost's history is going to be making an appearance in one way or another on Lost during this last season. The latest castaway making a return appearance is Michelle Rodriguez as Ana-Lucia. My guess is that she'll be in one of the flash-sideways.
