Steven Moffat is one of the most divisive names in the "Doctor Who" fandom. First he was the beloved writer who gave us one amazing story per season. Then he was given the reins of the show in 2010 and the audience's good will started to slip away. By season 7 he'd gotten a reputation as a guy whose storylines were too complicated for their own good, and as a showrunner who was sort of bad at writing realistic, three-dimensional characters who weren't named the Doctor. Particular scrutiny was given to how he wrote women; we loved River Song when she was introduced in season 4, but by the end of Eleven's run it felt like most of his female characters were just River Song variants. Moffat loves himself an aggressively badass woman who never stops flirting, but fans themselves grew tired of it.

For Johnny Depp, acting was the last thing on his mind before he ended up in Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street. The feature ended up giving Depp the successful Hollywood career that he currently enjoys. But the actor was very fortunate to end up in the horror flick despite Craven’s unfavorable opinion towards him.

Audiences first saw Depp on the big screen in Craven’s 1984 classic Nightmare on Elm Street. The actor ended up being cast as the boyfriend to the film’s final girl Nancy Thompson, played by Heather Langenkamp. It was a role he acquired that even Depp would tell people was a fluke.
“It was divine intervention. When I moved to L.A.

Two years ago it was announced that Stephen King‘s killer car Christine would be coming back to life with Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) directing the new take for Blumhouse& Sony. Of course, original director John Carpenter has thoughts on this, revealed today in an interview with Total Film.
Christine is one of three Stephen King adaptations turning 40 in 2023, and Total Film spoke with Carpenter and original star Keith Gordon about the film’s momentous anniversary in their latest issue.
“I know there’s some rumblings about its anniversary. My question is ‘why’?” Carpenter cracked when speaking with the publication.
Total Film asked his thoughts about Fuller’s pending remake, and his answer was surprising: “Oh boy,” Carpenter says. “Well, good luck to him. It will probably be better.”
Carpenter wasn’t the only one who offered encouragement.
“I think he’s really talented, and a good person to do it,...

On Prime Video sci-fi series The Peripheral, the future is closer than you think.
And that’s because The Peripheral, based on a book 2014 book from genre titan William Gibson, actually features two futures. Produced by Westworld‘s Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, The Peripheral takes place in both 2032 and 2099. In 2032, Appalachian everywoman Flynne Fisher (Chloë Grace Moretz) and her brother Burton (Jack Reynor) work as professional gamers who rich clients hire to assist them through particularly difficult portions of popular games.
One day, Flynne and Burton undertake an assignment set in a futuristic video game only for Flynne to discover that the 2099 world she has transported her avatar to isn’t virtual reality but reality reality. There, embodying a meatsuit resembling herself, Flynne must join forces with freedom fighters including Wilf Netherton (Gary Carr) to track down the enigmatic Aelita West (Charlotte Riley) to avoid disasters in both timelines.

Plot: Flynne Fisher lives in the rural American South, working at the local 3D printing shop, while earning much needed extra money playing VR games for rich people. One night she dons a headset and finds herself in futuristic London—a sleek and mysterious world, alluringly different from her own hardscrabble existence. But this isn’t like any game she’s ever played before: Flynne begins to realize it isn’t virtual reality… it’s real.
Review: Virtual reality and time travel are two of the most commonly used tropes in science fiction stories and used to be unique storytelling techniques. Thanks to improved special effects which have allowed countless stories to be told in ways they never could have been in the past. The new series The Peripheral manages to upend expectations by blending the intelligent and complex sci-fi of series like Westworld with the intricacies of crime dramas like Ozark and Breaking Bad.
