We React to Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
As a part of New York Comic Con, BBC America took over The Theater at Madison Square Garden this morning for panels including Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency; Doctor Who; and Who spinoff series, Class (check out our separate coverage of those panels). Dirk Gently started the day off with, before the panel guests appeared, a screening of the premiere episode.
Fans of the novels from which the show is adapted will immediately recognize that Gently has more of a relationship to the two Who series than merely airing on the same network. Douglas Adams (of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame) is the author of both Gently books and, at one point, worked on Doctor Who.
Writer and executive producer of Dirk Gently, Max Landis, may be in the know now about that Adams connection, but early on during the panel discussion said that when he first read The Long, Dark, Tea-Time of the Soul (the second Gently novel), he had no idea. As Landis explained it, he was 12 years old at summer camp, told to find something to read, and found the only book there that "sounded like it was science fiction" – Tea-Time of the Soul.
Kate Beckinsale Goes Dark for Underworld: Blood Wars
New York Comic-Con descended to the Underworld today with Underworld: Blood Wars, as Kate Beckinsale took the stage at the Theater at Madison Square Garden to talk up the latest chapter in the Screen Gems film and show off the new trailer.
Here’s the official logline for the movie: “The next installment in the blockbuster franchise, Underworld: Blood Wars follows Vampire death dealer, Selene (Kate Beckinsale) as she fends off brutal attacks from both the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that betrayed her. With her only allies, David (Theo James) and his father Thomas (Charles Dance), she must stop the eternal war between Lycans and Vampires, even if it means she has to make the ultimate sacrifice.” And here's the new trailer:
14 Pictures of the Adorable Delsin Rowe Sackboy
Through the years, Little Big Planet's intrepid mascot, Sackboy, has donned countless outfits in honor of other iconic PlayStation characters. This new collectible statue has him heading to Seattle to become none other than Delsin Rowe from Infamous: Second Son.
We found him hanging out on the show floor at New York Comic-Con, so naturally, we couldn't help but snap some photos of him. I mean, can you blame us? Sackboy is one photogenic dude, even when he's pretending to be a surly, elemental power-wielding bad-ass. Here's a slideshow of the images we got, plus a few more from the official Triforce website, where you can pre-order the statue right now.
Capaldi Introduces Doctor Who’s New Companion
New York Comic Con has expanded to a new venue this year, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, and what more appropriately sci-fi way to open the venue as a NYCC destination than with a series of panels including long-running British series Doctor Who as well as the new Doctor Who spinoff, Class. Both those shows air here in the States on BBC America and consequently were teamed with the networks new show, Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency (which we will cover in a separate piece).
It was Class that started off the Whovian portion of the panels.
The series focuses on a group of students at Coal Hill Academy (yes, that Coal Hill), and the four actors—Greg Austin (Charlie), Vivian Oparah (Tanya), Sophie Hopkins (April), and Fady Elsayed (Ram)—were all present for the panel. As they are students, the actors are a relatively young group (who apparently played Pokémon Go while on set), and in fact, it was noted that this is Oparahs first job.
TMNT’s First Look at Super Shredder and Mark Hamill’s Kavaxas
