The morning’s news

  • The Hollywood Reporter reckons the Sci Fi Channel is working on a remake of Flash Gordon. Part of an article looking at how US networks are warming to science-fiction.
  • A few spoilers over on E!’s Watch with Kristin: interesting snippets about Heroes, including confirmation that Claire’s gay best friend isn’t gay any more; more on Jack Bauer’s family in 24 (with one very important spoiler); useful stuff about Liev Schreiber’s forthcoming character in CSI; and some nuggets on BSG and Scrubs.
  • Mel Gibson’s new Mayan film, Apocalypto, might look historically authentic but it isn’t.

  • Rob Buckley

    I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
