The Triumphant Return of Other Space

This article is presented by: “It was possibly the most frustrating thing I’ve ever been through in my career,” Paul Feig says. “To make something I’m so proud of that was exactly what I wanted it to be that had this amazing cast, and the writing was so good. And then to be so happy with the final product and then nobody sees it.” Feig isn’t talking about the bizarre internet backlash that greeted the 2016 version of Ghostbusters, but instead, lamenting how a year prior, in 2015, his series Other Space — which originally debuted on the now-defunct Yahoo…

Other Space Returns and Will Stream Exclusively on DUST

This article is presented by Five years ago, one year before Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters hit theaters, the Bridesmaids comedy mastermind debuted a quirky, heartwarming science fiction series called Other Space. If you missed the streaming-only show back in 2015, the easiest way to describe the series would be Community meets The Orville, but better and more charming than both. Other Space is like HBO’s Avenue 5 or Netflix’s Space Force, but funnier and far less cynical. And now, after a long absence, you can finally catch one of the best sci-fi shows you may have missed the first time around.…

This post is sponsored by In The Relentless Moon, space wants to kill you, but that’s par for the course for Mary Robinette Kowal’s punch card punk Lady Astronaut series: Ten years after a massive meteorite obliterated most of the Eastern Seaboard, the International Aerospace Coalition is trying its damnedest to cooperate long enough to get humanity to a new home, first on the Moon, then eventually on Mars. The nascent lunar colony is subjected not only to the typical dangers of trying to create a new civilization where one step outside without your suit and you’re dead—but combine sabotage…

Away Trailer Sends Hilary Swank to Space for Netflix Drama

Hilary Swank is headed to Mars—by way of Netflix in the upcoming television series, Away. The two-time Best Lead Actress Oscar winner—Boys Don’t Cry in 2000 and Million Dollar Baby in 2005—is headlining a space series from the streaming giant that’s more grounded (no pun intended,) than its other such offerings like, for example, Lost in Space or Another Life. Indeed, Swank stars in this 10-episode drama series as an American astronaut who reluctantly leaves her family behind for the perilous task of leading NASA’s first manned mission to Mars. Interestingly enough, the series is loosely inspired by real-life events,…

Space Jam To Arrive on HBO Max Next Month

Sports in 2020 have effectively been canceled. The coronavirus outbreak has made it so people can no longer congregate in large groups or come into close physical contact with one another. Many sports leagues are trying their best to resume play, but new outbreaks and difficult logistics threaten to keep the sports world benched at least until 2021. Thankfully, HBO Max is stepping up to the plate (or the free throw line) by adding Space Jam to its stream on July 1. Michael Jordan has been quite the star of this sports-less summer. ESPN’s 1998 Chicago Bulls documentary The Last…

Elvis from Outer Space Trailer Clones the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll for Interstellar Jam

Elvis Presley made 31 films as an actor. He played rebels and jailbirds, G.I.s and boxers, roustabouts and rodeo stars. But he never played in a science fiction movie, nor did he get to show off his martial arts chops. The new trailer for Elvis from Outer Space promises to fix all that while delivering B-movie cult fun for the summer. Giant Pictures and Joba Entertainment set up the camp for a digital rollout next month. “Ladies and Gentlemen, the King of Rock N’ Roll From Outer Space has blasted into Vegas from the far side of the Universe to…

Nicolas Cage Horror Film Color Out of Space to Stream on Shudder

Shudder, AMC Networks’ horror-genre streaming platform, continues to bolster its burgeoning lineup of original content; an endeavor that’s especially prudent as the theatrical distribution pipeline continues to be halted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, its latest cinematic addition, Color Out of Space, brings a unique offering starring Nicolas Cage. The exclusive streaming rights to director Richard Stanley’s extraterrestrial outbreak film, Color Out of Space, along with Frank Sabatella’s vampire-centric The Shed—each a production of RJLE Films—have been acquired by Shudder, which will make the movies available to stream in the U.S. later this year on a date…

Tom Cruise and Elon Musk Plan First Movie Shot in Space

Tom Cruise is one of those actors of a certain age we like to call “the last movie star.” That’s because he can generally still open a movie, often massively so when he’s playing Ethan Hunt. But whether or not he’s the “last movie star,” he’s certainly about to be the first to truly reach heights out of this world… and potentially beyond our orbit. That’s the takeaway from news via Deadline that Cruise is partnering with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to make the first big budget narrative fiction that will film in the actual vacuum of space. While details remain…

How 2001: A Space Odyssey May Have Predicted a Surprising Aspect of Space Travel

Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is regarded today as one of the most influential and important pieces of science fiction ever made. Decades later, the story of how man was born and reached the stars still feels like more than just a space-faring fairy tale. Today, the movie is recognized for its predictive power. In fact, according to a new scientific study, 2001 may have predicted yet another aspect of space travel researchers are only beginning to understand. The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) released a study in April 2020 that shows how the…
