Murderbot, the sci-fi thriller-comedy which is based on the Martha Wells’ book series, premiered yesterday on Apple TV+. The series follows a self-aware security android known as SecUnit (Alexander Skarsgård), who hacks its own governor module to gain free will. Despite its new autonomy, rather than fleeing, it continues to protect a group of scientists on a dangerous alien planet while pretending to still be under corporate control. SecUnit, however, is more interested in binge-watching soap operas than interacting with the humans around it.

Recently, star Skarsgård spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the series and how it was exciting to him, because it was something quite different. “Well, it just felt tonally quite unique to me, and it was a sci-fi world that I hadn't seen or read before and a character that wasn't your stereotypical protagonist,” the actor told the site, adding that the character was “not self-assured or confident but rather socially awkward.”

Skarsgård also spoke with the site about the costume, where he pulled inspiration from besides the book and script for his portrayal, and more.

The new animated comedy Sneaks follows a pair of one-of-a-kind, collector sneakers, Ty (Anthony Mackie, Captain America: Brave New World) and Maxine (Chloe Bailey, The Little mermaid). When Ty ends up lost and alone on the mean streets of NYC, he falls in with an eclectic cast of shoes who help him learn that your best life begins when you get out of your box.

Rico Rodriguez (Modern Family) spoke with SciFi Vision about his role as Ice, a brash basketball shoe he describes as “a hard-nosed, bully type on the basketball court [who] trash talks, all that, but likes to settle it on the court.”

“Yes, it’s a movie about talking sneakers but it’s a lot more,” he told us. “The message is individuality, trusting yourself and putting your best self forward.” A shoe collector himself, Rodriguez knows what the right sneaker can mean. “These shoes are an extension of yourself and by wearing them you’re more confident, you walk better, you walk taller. And [Sneaks is] about finding the right pair and I love that. It’s a fun movie, and I’m glad to be a part of it.”

In our short interview, Rodriguez also told us how a shoe won him the role, why he loves collecting shoes, and where he stands on the wear-them-or-display-them question.
