SDCC11 Exclusive Interview: Bill Pullman Talks ‘Torchwood’, His ‘Independence Day’ Speech

by Matt Raub, Jul 29 2011 // 10:00 AM

Bill Pullman is one of those famed actors who’s resume has some of the weirdest stuff you’ll ever see on it. From playing the lead in a Mel Brooks spoof about Star Wars, to the troop-rallying president in Michael Bay’s Independence Day, and even to the child-killing death row inmate in Torchwood: Miracle Day, it seems like no role can disinterest the man.

Pullman joined the cast of Torchwood this season as they finally make their way to American soil and debut on Starz with Miracle Day. This time, he’s neither a wise-cracking hero nor the flag-waving veteran. This time he’s a stone cold killer.

In this season, the world is plagued by something that wouldn’t normally be considered a plague: not a single person on the planet can die. That includes Pullman’s character Oswald Danes, who was sentenced to lethal injection on that day. Things didn’t exactly go according to plan, and Pullman’s Danes is out on the streets.

We got a chance to speak with Bill about what drew him to this new-ish series and what he loves about the writing. We also got to ask him about how much of his famous Independence Day speech he remembers. The speech has lately had a new found love on the web, as even New York City comic Sean Kleier performs it in the most awkward of locations.

Take a look at our interview after the jump. Catch up on this season of Torchwood, only on Starz.

Happy 4th of July

by Chris Ullrich, Jul 3 2011 // 11:54 AM

As many of you know, it’s a holiday weekend here in the U S of A. That means all around the country people are getting together for food, fun, sun and the adult beverages of their choice to celebrate our independence day.

This seemed like as good a weekend as any to give the hard working staff here at The Flickcast some much deserved time off. We’ve got quite a few things coming up over the next few months, including the big one called Comic-Con in San Diego, so we’re going to take it easy this weekend.

Consequently, our posting schedule over the weekend and on Monday, the actual 4th of July, will be much lighter than usual. If a big story breaks, we’ll bring it to you. Otherwise, we’ll be back to our version of normal on Tuesday, July 5th.

Happy 4th of July weekend to those of you who celebrate it. For the rest, enjoy your weekend.

To add to the fun, we’ve included a little video to help set the mood. Click through to check it out.

Thanks for reading and we’ll see you on Tuesday.

Check Out Two New Visually Stunning Scenes From ‘Skyline’

by Joe Gillis, Nov 2 2010 // 8:00 AM

This weekend may be a tough choice at the box office for most theater-goers. But if you’re looking for a film that will blow your eyeballs right out of your sockets, it looks like Rogue Pictures’ Skyline may be that film.

Directed by the team of Colin and Greg Strause, the SFX brothers who have worked on films like Avatar to Iron Man 2, the film is setting itself to be an epic alien invasion movie in the vain of Cloverfield, Independence Day, and War of the Worlds. Just imagine if Roland Emmerich or Matt Reeves knew, from personal experience, what was possible in the scheme of digital effects.

There isn’t much to the story that we haven’t seen before, but the element to keep an eye out for here is the use of CG effects and how an entire film can play into that world. We’ve got two spoiler-free clips for you to check out after the jump.

Be sure to catch Skyline in theaters everywhere this Friday.

‘Independence Day’ Meets ‘Fast & Furious’ In A New Trailer For ‘Skyline’

by Matt Raub, Sep 30 2010 // 12:30 PM

There are plenty of bad films being made today. Some are original, some are remakes or “reboots”. Some put it’s script forward as the strong point, and some rely on the acting. The newest trailer for November’s Skyline proves that this film is none of the above. Expect to get nothing but purely astounding visual effects from this film.

Directed by visual effect pros Colin and Greg Strause and written by visual effect pros Joshua Cordes and Liam o’Donnell, the film will obviously be very heavy on the CG effects. It’s one thing when a film is poised to be astounding in writing or acting, but anyone who has seen a trailer for Skyline knows to expect a 90 minute science fiction thrill ride.

The premise is about strange lights descending on L.A., drawing people in before sucking them up into the sky. All the while, gigantic ships, creatures, and robots threaten to destroy the Earth as we know it.

The teaser that hit about a month ago only gave us a taste, but this newer trailer is sure to envelope us in the world of Skyline and all of it’s CG science fiction glory. Check out the new trailer after the jump, and be sure to catch the flick in theaters on November 12th.

The Flickcast – Episode 49: Go Go Godzilla

by Joe Gillis, Mar 31 2010 // 11:30 AM

This week on The Flickcast Chris and Matt celebrate a one year anniversary milestone with guest host Elisabeth Rappe. Some of the topics under discussion this week include proposed sequels to Independence Day, a reboot of the Godzilla franchise, the Caprica mid-season finale and the oddity of “Chat Roulette.”

The trio also made some great picks as they always do including Elisabeth’s pick of the Gerard Butler film Beowulf & Grendel, Matt’s pick of AMC’s series Breaking Bad and Chris’ pick of the original Clash of the Titans featuring Laurence Olivier and Harry Hamlin.

Happy 4th of July!

by Chris Ullrich, Jul 3 2009 // 3:33 PM

american-flag-2a

As its a holiday weekend, we won’t be doing much updating here at The Flickcast. Hey, I have to give the staff time off sometimes. However, if something big happens or we think you need to know something, we’ll be sure to bring it to you. Until then, have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend.

To get you through the long weekend, here’s a few patriotic videos (after the jump, of course) to watch and enjoy that remind us of what a great country we live in. Kudos to the gang at Sci-Fi Wire for the inspiration.

We’ll be back to our regular schedule on Monday. See you on the other side.

New Trailer for ‘2012’ Now Online

by Chris Ullrich, Jun 19 2009 // 6:30 AM

2012-destructionOver at First Showing they’ve got the brand new trailer for director Roland Emmerich’s 2012. In this new movie, as in several of his previous films such as Independence Day and The Day after Tomorrow, Emmerich reminds us that life is precious and so are our world’s natural resources. In fact, he kinda beats us over the head with it.

In this new film, based on the theory of the Mayan calendar telling us the world will come to an end in 2012, Emerich takes his job seriously once again and shows us that not only will the earth come to an end in 2012 but also that we will not, under any circumstances, enjoy it. In fact, it will be a giant pain in the butt full of tidal waves, earthquakes and fire raining down from the sky. Awesome.

Fortunately, as he’s also done in other films, Emmerich makes the destruction of out beloved planet at least look good.  I guess that’s something, right? 2012 hits theaters and seals our fate November 13 .

Meanwhile, while you still have time, check out the trailer after the break.
