Boneyard comes to theaters starting today. Inspired by real events and directed by Asif Akbar, the discovery of skeletal remains belonging to eleven female victims in the New Mexico desert sets off a police investigation and the FBI is called in. Police Chief Carter (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), Detective Ortega (Brian Van Holt), Detective Young (Nora Zehetner), and Agent Petrovick (Mel Gibson) embark on a multi-agency manhunt, but as tensions rise, suspicion is cast in all directions.

Recently, Van Holt spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film, including how he first met the writer years ago, how coming from a family of cops prepared him for the role, working with Gibson and Zehetner on the film, tapping into darkness in roles, and much more.

Yesterday, Space Cadet premiered on Prime Video. Tiffany “Rex” Simpson (Emma Roberts)’s dream had been to go to space, but her plans changed when her mother passed. Determined that it’s not too late to get back on track, she applies to NASA. Her application, embellished by her best friend Nadine (Poppy Liu), gets her to the NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. Rex is quickly in over her head and must rely on her determination and quick wits. NASA program directors Logan (Tom Hopper) and Pam (Gabrielle Union) definitely take notice, but is it enough? Can she make her dream come true before she blows her cover?

Recently, Hopper spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film, including his preparation, working (and singing!) with Roberts, and more.

The following contains spoilers for episode two.

An expansion of the original series, Orphan Black: Echoes takes place in the future and continues the exploitations of science. Krysten Ritter stars as Lucy in the sci-fi thriller, a woman who wakes up without a past and soon discovers that she was not born, but printed. Although she doesn’t know it yet, her creator is none other than Kira Manning (Keeley Hawes), Sarah (Tatiana Maslany)’s grown daughter from the original series. 

In episode two, which premiered last night, Lucy took the kidnapped Jules (Amanda Fix) to Settlement House, getting Craig (Jonathan Whittaker)’s help in an interrogation of the teenage girl, who she believes is the same as her, hoping to shed some light on what’s going on.

According to John Fawcett, who co-created the original series and serves as an executive producer and director of this news series, there was discussion even back at the end of the original series that they wanted to have some kind of continuation of the Orphan Black story. “[Graeme Manson and I] always made jokes about what the spin off could be,” Fawcett told SciFi Vision during a recent interview. “Ultimately, Boat Rocker and Anna [Fishko] came up with the concept for Echoes and brought me on to help develop it.” 

Tonight’s “ripped from the headlines” Lifetime movie, The Killer Inside: The Ruth Finley Story, follows the title character (Teri Hatcher) and her husband, Ed (Tahmoh Penikett), who live a peaceful life in Kansas until it is suddenly upended when Ed suffers a heart attack. As Ed fights for his survival, Ruth starts receiving terrifying threats, convincing her that she will be the next victim of the BTK killer. Ruth is abducted, yet returns shortly after, leaving police confused and trying to find answers. As new evidence surfaces, it becomes apparent that the kidnapper may be someone close to Ruth.

Penikett knew he wanted to be a part of the project as soon as he heard Hatcher was attached, whom he had nothing but praise for. “[Y]ou hear of a veteran, accomplished, respected actor of the caliber of Terry Hatcher…you want to jump on board, and you want to work with them,” the actor told SciFi Vision during a recent interview, adding that he was a fan of her work.

The actor was even more encouraged once he read the script. “I was really excited,” said Penikett. “I love films like this, films that are based on true stories. I think there's a real appetite out there with people in the audience to hear stories like this…[E]ven though a lot of these stories are based in fact and history that we've seen before, people are drawn to them it. It reminds them of something they can relate to a lot more, because oftentimes it's from a real period in their life that they remember and it affected them.”

Directed by Jordan Scott, daughter of the famed Ridley Scott, who also serves as a producer on the film, A Sacrifice, which opened in theaters yesterday, follows American social psychologist Ben Monroe (Eric Bana) who is investigating a disturbing cult in Berlin when his rebellious teenage daughter, Mazzy (Sadie Sink) comes to stay with him. She meets a local boy, Marting (Jonas Dassler), who introduces her to the underground party scene and she starts making questionable choices. As their two worlds are about to collide, Ben must race against time to save his daughter.

According to Scott, who also wrote the screenplay for the film, the book on which the film is based, Tokyo, by Nicholas Hoggs, was more about the relationships between characters than it was about the cult. “The original book was focused much more on this amazing father-daughter story and also the love story between Ben and [the character] who is now Nina (Sylvia Hoeks),” explained the director to SciFi Vision during a recent interview. “But there was this underlying hint of this nefarious cult throughout that sort of kept poking its head above the parapet, but we never really went into the cult or into their world. Then, right as the book ended, the cult kind of opened up…So, I really focused on creating the cult and Hilma (Sophie Rois)’s world and having those two stories intersect.”

Directed by Gil Kenan with a script he co-wrote with Jason Reitman, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is the fifth film in the franchise and set three years after the events in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. The film follows the Spengler family as they return to where it all started at the firehouse in New York City, now that a very rich Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) is funding the team and has even created a top-secret state of the art lab. Not everyone is happy with their new location, however, as the mayor (William Atherton) uses every excuse to try to shut them down, which ends with the youngest member of the family, Phoebe (Mckenna Grace), benched, as her brother, Trevor (Finn Wolfhard), her mother, Callie (Carrie Coon), and Callie’s partner, Gary Grooberson (Paul Rudd), continue to protect the city without her. While sidelined, Phoebe befriends a ghost, Melody (Emily Alyn Lind), who may not be who she seems. Meanwhile, Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) comes across an ancient artifact that unleashes a new foe who wants to open a doorway to the other side to create his own spectral army. Ghostbusters new and old will have to work together to save the world from the evil Garraka and prevent a second Ice Age.

In addition to those mentioned above, Celeste O’Connor and Logan Kim return from Afterlife, and Bill Murray and Annie Potts reprise their roles from earlier films. Also joining the cast are Kumail Nanjiani and Patton Oswalt.

Frozen Empire is an enjoyable adventure that’s fun for the whole family. It’s funny yet also maintains an exciting story that’s full of thrilling twists and turns and also has heart.

Based on the books by Tony DiTerlizzi, the animated series WondLa, which premiered today on Apple TV+, follows Eva, voiced by Jeanine Mason, a curious teenager, raised alone in a state-of-the-art underground bunker by her robot caretaker Muthr, voiced by Teri Hatcher. After an attack on the bunker on her sixteenth birthday, Eva is forced to climb to the surface of the Earth, which, now called Orbona, she finds has been inhabited by aliens, and there no humans are around. Eva leads Muthr, as well as water bear, Otto (voiced by Brad Garrett), and alien, Rovender (voiced by Gary Anthony Williams), on a quest to find humans, her home, and ultimately, her destiny.

Actress Hatcher, who originally narrated the audio books, was first approached by DiTerlizzi about working on the series. Recently, when speaking with SciFi Vision about working on the project, she talked about the collaboration aspect of an animation. “[T]hat's my favorite thing about it.” Hatcher explained, “What the animators are doing and what you're doing, and what the director and the producers are doing, it's kind of a constant circling back between all of you until the whole thing cements together, and I really appreciate being a part of a group of artists in that way.” 

Broadway performer, entrepreneur, and educator Robert Hartwell took a photo of himself in front of his newly purchased home, posted it, and his life changed. Hartwell would go on to take on the challenge of renovating the 200-year-old Massachusetts house that had a complicated history. It’s a renovation story that celebrates his journey and those who came before him.

Recently, Hartwell spoke with SciFi Vision about the renovation and what it means to him to be able to share such an experience, including both the ups and downs.
