Watch: First Episode of Comedy Web Series 'Space Janitors' Debuts

"How many Officers do you know start out as a janitor?" If you're looking for some amusing weekend entertainment, here it is. The very first episode of a new Canadian web series called Space Janitors, which we teased a few weeks ago, has debuted online via The Escapist. It runs a brisk 3-1/2 minutes and features plenty of humorous Star Wars-inspired jokes, plus designs that ever so slyly skirt copyright issues, all the while parodying that sci-fi universe we've all come to know and love. It's a lot of fun, I'm looking forward to seeing more, despite the cheesy effects. But it is a web series! Give it a shot, watch the pilot episode below.

Watch: Official Trailer for '4:44 Last Day on Earth' with Willem Dafoe

By Alex Billington

"At 4:44AM tomorrow morning, there will be no survivors. The world will end." IFC Films has debuted an official trailer on IMDb (found via TheMovieBox) for Abel Ferrara's 4:44 Last Day on Earth, essentially Ferrara's crazy Southern take on the last days before the end of the world. Willem Dafoe stars with Paz de la Huerta as two of the characters in this near-apocalyptic film described literally as "a look at what would happen if everyone knew the world was ending." I'm not really sure I'm into this take on that histeria, but I do love savage Dafoe and I do want to see what craziness it tries to address. Give this a shot anyway.

Mondo's Spectacular 'John Carter' Poster - Get One at Midnight IMAX

By Alex Billington

Take a look at perhaps the most spectacular poster for Andrew Stanton's John Carter poster we may ever lay eyes on. Mondo has debuted a new poster via Hero Complex for Stanton's sci-fi adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars, starring Taylor Kitsch as Carter. The poster shows John Carter standing over Barsoom, looking out over one of the cities, and you can also see some the air ships in the skies as well. It's utterly gorgeous, even though they don't list a designer's name. They do say that if you're attending midnight IMAX showings of John Carter on the late evening of March 8th, you'll be getting one of these.

More excellent casting news for a highly anticipated sci-fi movie coming up. Deadline reports that actor Nonso Anozie is the latest to join the cast of Gavin Hood's Ender's Game, the sci-fi adaptation based on Orson Scott Card's novel, which already has young Asa Butterfield set to star as Ender. Anozie is a British actor who's appeared in everything from Atonement to Happy-Go-Lucky to RocknRolla, as well as Brighton Rock and last year's Conan the Barbarian remake, but most may now recognize him as "Burke" from Joe Carnahan's outstanding The Grey. Read on to find out what role he'll be playing in the Ender's Game movie.

Watch: Comedic Sci-Fi Short 'Cost of Living' Starring Brandon Routh

By Alex Billington

We've been featuring a lot of shorts recently, but there's a bunch of fantastic sci-fi ones that have ended up online recently. I first saw this one, BenDavid Grabinski's Cost of Living, at Fantastic Fest last year and loved it, it's a wild, hilarious, well-made 10-minute sci-fi short film starring Brandon Routh that I highly suggest watching as soon as you can. SlashFilm found the online full version for your viewing pleasure, and if you're looking for something original and fun, this is definitely it. In fact, this would make a great double feature with Cabin in the Woods, but check it out anyway. As it says on the Vimeo page: Please play loud.

Watch: Exciting New 'Introduction to John Carter' of Mars Featurette

By Alex Billington

"John Carter had to be there in order for Star Wars to happen!" Indeed it did, but it's still known as John Carter of Mars, but so be it. Disney has unveiled a new featurette for Andrew Stanton's upcoming sci-fi adventure called "An Introduction to John Carter", a quick "behind-the-scenes" video focusing on the world and the character, created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912. Its also got some new footage, finished CG shots that are looking great, and better glimpses of Willem Dafoe and Thomas Haden Church as Tharks, as well as Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins. Still looks great, I love the world, can't wait to see it!

First Look: An Astronaut Sharlto Copley in Sci-Fi 'The Europa Report'

By Alex Billington

Don't get too excited, this isn't Neill Blomkamp's new project retitled, it's another sci-fi movie that Sharlto Copley is in that he just finished shooting. ComingSoon found a first look photo in the latest Entertainment Weekly for The Europa Report and scanned it. Directed by Ecuadorian filmmaker Sebastián Cordero, Copley stars as one of six astronauts who make the arduous journey to Jupiter's frigid, glacial moon Europa in search of extraterrestrial life. How come I don't remember hearing too much about this, because it sounds awesome! Right after making this, he'll go onto Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi Elysium, too. View the scan below!

Doug Trumbull Speaks Again on How Mind-Boggling His New Sci-Fi Is

By Alex Billington

The way this guy speaks about his upcoming projects sounds like he's bringing the second coming of cinema in the near future. We've been keeping tabs on visual effects maestro Douglas Trumbull, aka Doug, for a while as he's been back in the fray since doing the FX work on The Tree of Life. Trumbull was at the VES Awards ceremony this week and our friend Todd at the Hollywood Reporter interviewed him, and it's quite a tremendous piece. He speaks in depth about the state of the industry and FX world, and also goes in depth into his upcoming "120FPS 3D" sci-fi movie we've been hearing about. And it sounds mind-blowing already.

Will Smith & Shyamalan Tweet Out Tropical 'After Earth' Set Photos

By Alex Billington

So are they still on Earth or somewhere else? I'm not normally a fan of set photos, but these images come straight from the source(s) themselves - Will Smith and director M. Night Shyamalan (yea I know, give him a chance), plus screenwriter Gary Whitta always tweets plenty about it as well. They're all currently making a movie called After Earth, a new science fiction movie starring Will Smith and his son Jaden, who crash land on a "planet", which I'm sure is just Earth, many years in the future. They're getting ready to start shooting, and the photos (via Collider) include shots of Smith on location in beautiful, tropical Costa Rica.
