Where do the Leap Hosts go when Quantum Leap’s Ben Song jumps into them? That’s a question many have been asking since NBC’s continuation premiered back in September.
In the original series starring Scott Bakula as Sam Beckett, those being leapt into would enter an empty waiting room that featured a white table and a single door to exit. They were then interrogated for information that could help Sam during his leaps.

This week’s Quantum Leap took it back to the ‘80s again.
After helping a boxer change his family’s tragic fate, Ben this time around found himself in the body of a bounty hunter named Eva in 1981. His mission seemed trivial: finding the bounty hunter’s target, Carla, who disappeared after skipping a court date over unpaid parking tickets.

Does Quantum Leap’s Herbert “Magic” Williams (played by Ernie Hudson) remember Sam Beckett (played in the original series by Scott Bakula) jumping into him? NBC’s continuation of the time-travel series will provide an answer in the coming weeks.

Plot: It’s been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song (Raymond Lee), has been assembled to restart the project in hope of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.
Review: The original Quantum Leap aired from 1989 to 1993 and ushered in a unique blend of television series that combined science-fiction, hopeful stories about fate and destiny, and a sense of humor that catapulted Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell to celebrity. After thirty years, Quantum Leap is back for a reboot that serves as the sixth season of the series and an all-new take on the formula. With direct references to Bakula and his exploits traveling through time in the guise of many different people, the new Quantum Leap feels incredibly familiar and safe while still mining nostalgia for TV shows of a bygone era.

In the original Quantum Leap series, which ran from 1989 to 1993 on NBC, Herbert “Magic” Williams (played by Christopher Kirby) was just a soldier in the Vietnam War when Samuel Beckett (Scott Bakula) leaped into him in the Season 3 episode “The Leap Home, Part 2 (Vietnam).”

Australian actor and filmmaker Charles Jazz Terrier has completed post-production on a speculative pilot for “WTFitness,” a comedy series set in Melbourne’s gym scene.
‘WTFitness’ is proposed to be a series with eight half-hour episodes that boasts an ensemble cast including Terrier, Christopher Kirby, Kat Stewart, Jonny Brugh and Trevor Jamieson.
The show was created by Terrier of Fantome Bay Pictures and was developed in conjunction with award-winning filmmaker Nicholas Potaris. Terrier aims to create a genuine Australian workplace comedy while exploring real-world diversity, social and economic issues. He likens it to “The Office” meets “Parks & Recreation.”

Horror at its best gets under your skin and stays with you for some time, making you think over what you’ve seen. Some horror though just wants to be fun and provide some blood-soaked entertainment. Blood Vessel is one of the fun ones, for those with a taste for vampires. When a life raft adrift in the North Atlantic find an abandoned German minesweeper, the people on the raft believe they are saved. It’s not long though before the seemingly abandoned boat reveals it’s blood soaked secrets.
In terms of storyline don’t expect any brilliant twists or meaningful revelations with Blood Vessel, that isn’t what this movie is.

"I've been killing monsters for years - a few more won't hurt." Shudder has released a new trailer for the Australian horror thriller titled Blood Vessel, which already opened Down Under during the summer. We featured a first trailer back in June, but the film is now available to watch streaming on Shudder in the US. Somewhere in the North Atlantic, late 1945 - survivors of a torpedoed Allied ship are adrift at sea in a life raft when they spot an abandoned German boat. They board, and soon discover they're not alone. Everyone on the ship is dead, but something else still lives. The Nazis found vampires. Yeah, this looks creepy and bloody as hell. This stars Alyssa Sutherland, Robert Taylor, Nathan Phillips, Christopher Kirby, John Lloyd Fillingham, Alex Cooke, and Mark Diaco. It's finally time to meet this freaky old vampire. Here's the official US trailer for Justin Dix's Blood Vessel,...

Director: Justin Dix Writers: Justin Dix, Jordan Prosser. Blood Vessel is a film from writer and director Justin Dix. He has worked on a few horror projects, including: Crawlspace (2012) and the upcoming Grave (2020). Falling into the Ghost Ship horror sub-genre, Dix creates some great visuals on a World War II vessel. All of the settings, costumes and props look realistic as they are taken from an actual, restored WWII vessel. But, there is a bit of a major tone and pacing shift - near the middle of the film, which might be jarring for some. Ending with a great finale, Blood Vessel will draw most horror enthusiasts into a decent vampire tale. The plot begins with the destruction of a hospital ship. Allies, from around the world, team-up to survive in the North Atlantic. Jane (Alyssa Sutherland) acts as a nurse, while Jackson (Christopher Kirby) is a former ship mechanic and sailor.

"Whatever happened on this ship wasn't gremlins... something far more real." Umbrella Entertainment in Australia has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Blood Vessel, made by Australian SFX veteran Justin Dix. This premiered at a handful of horror film festivals last year, and it's being set for release sometime later this year. Set in 1945, the film opens with the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship adrift on a life raft. They encounter an abandoned German minesweeper but then discover a "supernatural reckoning older and deadlier even than the war they thought they were escaping." Which is a longer way of saying: vampires. The Nazis found vampires. Yeah, this looks creepy and bloody as hell. Starring Alyssa Sutherland, Robert Taylor, Nathan Phillips, Christopher Kirby, John Lloyd Fillingham, Alex Cooke, and Mark Diaco. This is a very dark and messy trailer, but this looks extra gnarly and super scary.

Pre-viz scene of ‘Riding Hood.’
Some 20 years ago Justin Dix had the idea for a film about an orphaned red riding hood who is hell bent on exacting revenge against the werewolf who killed her grandmother.
Over the years the filmmaker made several attempts to finance Riding Hood but he is now pulling together all the elements of the action fantasy, ready to shoot later this year.
“It’s been a long gestation but it will happen this time, things are moving quite rapidly and I am going to do it,” the writer, producer, director, FX supervisor and production designer tells If.
Dix has had promising discussions with potential investors, including an La-based firm and people who backed his most recent film, Blood Vessel, a survival/horror opus which Umbrella Entertainment will launch later this year.

While the Nazis are long gone, the Moon suffers from overpopulation, social inequality, health issues, constant quakes, and even from a dominant and privileged religious cult that worships Steve Jobs.

"Let's make Earth great again!" Vertical Entertainment has released a new official Us trailer and a poster for the long-awaited, delayed-for-years sci-fi sequel Iron Sky: The Coming Race, which has been in the works since 2014. This film was released in Europe earlier in the year, and we posted two trailers back then for its initial debut. It's now opening in the Us in July, for those who still want to catch up with it. The plot is just as absurd as the first Iron Sky - the Nazis are back after lying dormant in a secret base on the Moon, now they're attacking with an army of ancient shapeshifting reptilians riding dinosaurs. Madness. Starring Julia Dietze, Götz Otto, Christopher Kirby, Tilo Brückner, Peta Sergeant, Stephanie Paul, and Udo Kier. This is one of those films that you know is going to be terrible, but you also just have to see it for yourself.

Lionsgate’s Hellboy reboot, Universal’s comedy Little, Fox’s romantic drama The Aftermath and Laika Studios/Roadshow’s stop-motion animated comedy Missing Link all struggled, generally mirroring their Us results.
Meanwhile Umbrella’s Back of the Net, a young adult drama directed by Louise Alston and scripted by Casie Tabanou and Alison Spuck, launched in Queensland and Victoria, netting $14,000 from limited sessions on 38 screens.

Chicago – “We can rebuild him, we have the technology…” Those words from the 1970s series “The Six Million Dollar Man” seems more truth than science fiction these days, as breakthroughs in humans plus robotics get ever closer to rebuilding us. This is all explored in the fun and action-oriented film “Upgrade.”
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Written and directed by Leigh Whannell, who usually writes/directs horror for the Blumhouse Productions (“Insidious”), this contains the twist of sci-fi, as a mysterious tech mogul wants to regenerate human tissue through a computer chip insertion. While similar in story elements from 2016’s “Ex Machina,” the themes are different, as the beneficiary of the upgrade is seeking revenge. There is a lot of wit and symbolic wisdom in the story (the “control” of the victim’s limbs are facilitated by an inner voice), and the fight action combines martial artistry with comic surrealism. This is Whannell’s...

Stars: Ethan Hawke, Noah Taylor, Sarah Snook, Elise Jansen, Christopher Kirby, Madeleine West, Cate Wolfe, Jim Knobeloch, Freya Stafford, Lucinda Armstrong Hall, Rob Jenkins, Christopher Stollery | Written by Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig | Directed by The Spierig Brothers
Back in 2003, the Spierig Brothers directed a low budget farmhouse zombie horror called Undead. It was an entertaining and imaginative debut, and everyone looked forward to their next offering. It turned out we had to wait a while. In 2009, they released Daybreakers. Another imaginative genre offering, with an entertaining cast and some neat ideas. What would their next movie be?
After another long wait, we arrive in 2014 with Predestination.
Shown as the opening film for day four of the festival, Predestination is a difficult film to talk about without totally ruining it. So I’ll give you this much: after a tense opening sequence which introduces us to the film’s antagonist the...

Ah summer camp! Who doesn’t have fond memories of their days at Camp Mosquito, swimming, hiking, canoeing, sitting around the campfire making s’mores and telling ghost stories, desperately hiding your crush on the boy in the next bunk but secretly hoping he feels the same way…
Two new summer series debuted last week, each angling to capture that camp nostalgia and each including gay characters. One of them is really bad and one of them is pretty good. First, the bad.
Summer Camp
USA Network’s Summer Camp is a reality series pitting two teams of eight against each other in a “boys vs. girls” competition. Each of the contestants is identified by either a character trait (“The Mean Girl”, “The Class Clown”) or an occupation (“The Soldier”, “The Model”). Gay contestant Kyle Kleiboeker is “The Broadway Performer” so it kind of works as both, I guess?

In an era of endless sequels and reboots, we have become increasingly tolerant of how far movie makers will stretch for an original idea. I suppose it’s up to movie audiences to tell them when they've gone too far. Nazis are invading from space? Ok. It seems more plausible than Abraham Lincoln fighting vampires.
Part of the fun of watching movies is seeing something that could not happen in reality. No matter if it’s due to the laws of physics or to the physical limitations of man, normal life is sometimes just too boring. That’s a major appeal of movies; escapism. Those of us that can’t come up with our own ideas pay to watch someone else’s come to life. Iron Sky is one such attempt to separate you from your money in exchange for preoccupying your mind for a few hours. The only difference...

I first profiled this sci-fi action/comedy film, and one of its stars, about 2 years ago; it's been a long journey for it, as the filmmakers have been working on it piece by piece, according to however much funding they had for each during each stage of the process. Such is the the way of indie filmmaking. Buzz about the film picked up when it was announced that it would finally make its world debut at the Berlin Film Festival in February of last year (2012), after 5 or more years in production (this is what happens when you're making sci-fi parody without any real steady financial backing). Christopher Kirby, the actor who played Mauser in the last 2 Matrix flicks, The...

*spoiler alert! Director: Timo Vuorensola. Writers: Johanna Sinisalo (original story), Jarmo Puskala, Michael Kalesniko, and Timo Vuorensola. Cast: Julia Dietze, Christopher Kirby and Götz Otto. Nazis have fled to space! Who would have thunk it? In the movie Iron Sky, the last remaining survivors from this regiment fled to the dark side of the moon and spent the last 70 or so years plotting to take over Earth again. But nobody told them that World War II is over and life has gone forwards ... or maybe not. But now they want to come back, with no thanks to astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby). He found their moon base and that does not bode well for humanity. When this space explorer gets captured, the Nazi's plans are accelerated. That leads to some humourous nods to B movie culture and retro-a-go-go. The music is what sells this product. The driving magic by Slovenian...

Every once in a while, a film is released with such a ludicrous premise that you simply have to take note and Iron Sky is such a film. It is set at the end of WWII and follows various high-ranking Nazi officials setting up a well-equipped (and very smartly polished and decked-out) base on the moon. Jump forward to 2018 where the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), a Sarah Palin lookalike, is up for re-election and to help her campaign, has Nasa send leaves astronaut/ male model James Washington (the charismatic and amusing Christopher Kirby) Nasa to the moon for their first landing in decades (her campaign poster reads: ‘Black to Space: Yes She Can’.). This leaves Washington at the mercy of the followers of the so called ‘Fourth Reich’. The Nazi brass, including Moon Fuehrer Wolfgang Kortzfleiche (cult legend Udo Kier), and his protoge-turned-rival Klaus Adler (Gatz Otto...

Let the Meteorblitzkrieg begin!
Iron Sky is finally here! Director Timo Vuorensola’s Finnish-German-Australian science fiction comedy, six years in the making, represents a collaborative approach from conception to marketing. Iron Sky milked the Internet for all it’s worth, building up a community of artists and fans who got involved one way or another including the kicking in of much of the film’s funding (these deep-pocket collaborators are listed in the credits). In a happy ending for dreamers everywhere, the result is a genuine success story for what is, after all, a small movie with a tighter-than-tight budget. But while the budget was necessarily low, the filmmaker’s ambition is unmistakably high and Iron Sky looks like a film that cost many many times its actual budget. If you enjoy your sci-fi with some satire and count Brazil, Dr. Strangelove, and Mars Attacks among your faves, do not...

This is the Pure Movies review of Salute directed by Matt Norman and starring Christopher Kirby, Bob Beamon and Ralph Boston. Written by Michael Holder for @puremovies With the Olympic Games now well underway, any prior pockets of British cynicism have inevitably crumbled to ambivalence under the barrage of media coverage of Team Gb’s successes. TV schedules full of life-affirming documentaries showcasing sporting spirit and endeavour past and present were irresistible, if a little suffocating. But not every Olympic story has a happy ending, and not every daring moment of human sacrifice and achievement is given its due recognition or support, as this fresh if not entirely successful documentary film shows.
