Stargate: Universe - SciFi Now Magazine # 25 - Brad Wright/ Robert C. Cooper Interview

At Imagine Publishing:



I'M JUST A PUPPET WHO CAN SEE THE STRINGS

Officially on sale 19 February, SciFiNow issue 25 is the latest issue of the UK's premier science fiction magazine. Here's a small taster of what's in store in our new issue, which includes a free Watchmen DVD loaded with behind-the-scenes content.

Inside:

• It's a whole new galaxy out there...we talk to Brad Wright and Robert C Cooper in our world exclusive interview about the transition from Stargate Atlantis to Stargate Universe.

• Our news this month brings you the word on the state of genres shows hovering between renewal and cancellation, the lowdown on the best films coming your way soon, and a look at the latest developments in the world of the fantastic.

• Our additional Watchmen preview compliments our previous interview-packed feature by taking a look at the film's long and rocky road to the big screen.

• We talk to Dirk Benedict, of The A-Team and Battlestar Galactica, about Starbuck, his other work in film, and his somewhat...outspoken political viewpoints.

• We also talk to Craig Charles about the new Red Dwarf, the US adaptation, and the possibility of a big screen outing.

• We celebrate the genre SciFiNow style, with our pick of the top 100 moments in science fiction cinema.

• Ever wondered if...? We give our dream cast for a proposed remake of Automan.

• The most trustworthy reviews of the latest film and DVD releases.

• A wealth of book, comic and graphic novel reviews.

• It was our last, best hope for peace...it failed. Our Complete Guide to Babylon 5, however, succeeds where the station itself didn't quite manage King Kong lead our signature Timewarp section.

• The Fanboys section continues to cover all the hottest convention and memorabilia news, including a collector's guide to Halloween.

• We have a field day nitpicking our way through Spider-Man 3.

• Our history of literary horror this month has an in depth look at one of the most controversial figures in literature, religion and modern society as a whole: L Ron Hubbard.

• And all you could want from the UK's premiere science fiction, horror, fantasy and cult magazine.
