The more we see of Syfy’s epic new series Defiance, the more intrigued we are.

After bringing the series back to life, Comedy Central has been cranking out a ton of new Futurama episodes.

After months of auditions, Marvel's made their first casting for Guardians of the Galaxy.

When last we left the zombie apocalypse survivors of The Walking Dead, it seemed some of them would not make it out alive. "Seemed," now being the operative word.

While Tron 3 may or may not be happening, there's another sequel that Tron himself might be invited to appear in.

It might have been touch and go in the eleventh hour, but Marc Webb is officially sticking it out with Amazing Spider-Man 2.

It's the reign of the robots on screen, even though Spielberg's Robopocalypse went back to the drawing board for a total rethink.

Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim will show pilot-operated machines tackling an invasion of giant monsters, another Transformers is on the way and the next X-Men film is an exciting time-travel tale that will see mutant-hunting Sentinels targeting the team.

Continuing the trend but on a much smaller scale is Robot & Frank, which will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on March 8, 2013.

An official UK poster was recently unveiled for the movie, which is directed by Jake Schreier and stars Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, James Marsden and Liv Tyler, with Robot voiced by Peter Sarsgaard.

Robot & Frank is a buddy caper. Set in the near future, ageing curmudgeon and retired jewel thief Frank (Frank Langella) lives a solitary life until his son (James Marsden) installs a caretaker robot, against he and his daughter's (Liv Tyler) wishes.

The robot upends Frank's lonely life - filled only with books and a visit to his favourite librarian (Susan Sarandon) - with a strict regimen of exercise, diet and gardening. Stubborn at first, Frank soon realises Robot has the ability to pull off the most calculated of heists. An unlikely friendship, and crime duo, is born

Robot & Frank received its World Premiere at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it was awarded the Alfred P. Sloan prize, an award given to a feature film that focuses on science or technology as a theme. It also screened at this year's London Film Festival.

Jonathan Bennett (Memorial Day), Ali Faulkner (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1), Stelio Savante (My Super Ex Girlfriend) and Richard Riehle (Halloween II) star in the upcoming psychological horror The Secret Village, directed by Swamy Kandan,

Written by Kandan and Jason B. Whittier, The Secret Village follows Greg (Bennett), an unsuccessful screenwriter and Rachel (Faulkner), a journalist, as they research an outbreak of mass hysteria and ergot poisoning in a small village.

They rent a house together and start to uncover a secret that has affected this village for years. But the cult activity has been kept a secret by the locals (Savante and Riehle) and when Greg disappears, Rachel is left alone to unravel the mystery and save their lives.

Horror feature Ditch is in post-production and is expected to be released later in 2013.

According to the official synopsis: Jenny Bilson (Katy Foley), a high school senior, is the perfect student, a wonderful daughter to a veteran police detective and an all American Dream. But the one mistake she is unaware of making is about to haunt her in a very violent way as her past returns for revenge

Ditch is directed by Joe Hendrick, written by Daniel P Couglin and stars Bill Oberst Jr, Katy Foley, Zach Silverman, Lynn Lowry and Morgan Benoit.

A UK release date of March 8 has been confirmed for BIFA-winning film Broken, starring starring Tim Roth, Cillian Murphy and Rory Kinnear.

From acclaimed director Rufus Norris, Broken is described as "a powerful, captivating and heartbreaking exploration of love in all its many forms: idealised, unrequited, and, ultimately, unconditional.

"With some light comic touches and a brilliant central performance from newcomer Eloise Laurence, this coming of age story deals with the tumultuousness of growing up in a world where the happy certainties of childhood give way to a fear-filled doubt, and where a complex, broken world fills the future."

Filming recently wrapped on the supernatural thriller A House Is Not A Home, directed by Christopher Douglas-Olen Ray. It comes from new production company Deinstitutionalized.

Ben (Gerald Webb, pictured above) and Linda Williams move the family into a dream home in a last-ditch effort to save their troubled marriage but things take a sinister turn.

Ben and his family flee but the house isn't finished with them, trapping the family in its labyrinth and they must come together to fight for their family, their lives and to escape.

Veteran actor Bill Cobbs (A Night at the Musuem, pictured right) also stars in this horror feature, along with Eddie Steeples (My Name is Earl, below right). Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street) plays Rafkin.

Serial killer thriller Pain is Beautiful has this week had its premiere in Los Angeles.

William Hendricks is a heavily scarred loner who was born with a rare disorder called CIPA, Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. He feels no pain and no pleasure. After years of wondering what pain feels like, he decides to go to extreme measures to feel anything. He recruits victims to help him understand what others take for granted in what is described as "an unconventional film that will flip the serial killer genre on its head."

Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams) stars, along with Ivet Corvea (Nude Nuns with Big Guns) and genre favourite Elissa Dowling. All of these cast members will tangle with director and co-writer Chris Staviski, who also plays the killer (pictured below).

The cast also features Tim Sullivan, Jessica Sonneborn, Mike Pfaff, Lynn Ayala, Brian McCulley and DeeDee Bigelow.

DeeDee, well known in the indie horror and sci-fi world, also stars in Stephen Niver's new short film Miss Poppins, alongside Brett Wagner, P David Miller, Jesse Nelson, Roger Torres, Ron Kari, JR Gennuso and Shadow the dog.

Here's the synopsis: 'Miss Poppins is an avid yoga class participant...at least that is what her boyfriend thinks. But it isn't yoga that Miss Poppins is off to do. Instead, there is an international incident that she must handle, alone. Let's just hope she is tough enough to save the day.'

The official poster - showing DeeDee's character mysteriously shrouded in mist or smoke - is included below.

Guess it's time to put all those FernGully jokes to bed.

What if the biggest superhero blockbuster of all time had been directed by the legendary John Hughes?

Record-breaking James Bond hit Skyfall has scored a double win at a major British movie awards event.

The picture - which stars Daniel Craig in his third 007 outing and has become the UK's biggest box office hit - was named best film at the Evening Standard British Film Awards, while viewers voted it their blockbuster of the year.

Comedy actor Sacha Baron Cohen - whose outrageous characters have included Borat, Bruno and Ali G - took an honorary title, the editor's award, to celebrate his "extraordinary achievement."

Oscar nominee Daniel Day-Lewis missed out on the best actor award, despite huge acclaim for his lead role in Lincoln.

Instead the prize went to Toby Jones for the independent art house film Berberian Sound Studio, which sees him play a British sound designer in the homage to 1970s Italian horror.

"I'm thrilled. Daniel Day-Lewis is a hero to me so to be even mentioned in the same breath as him is a huge honour," he said following his win.

"I grew up watching his movies so the idea that I am in some way compared with him is both, on one level extraordinary to me, but also I've got to be proud of that."

Andrea Riseborough collected the best actress prize for her role as an IRA terrorist in Shadow Dancer.

But journalist Tom Bradby missed out on winning best screenplay for his work in bringing his novel to the screen. That award went to Malcolm Campbell for What Richard Did.

The Peter Sellers award for comedy went to deranged road movie Sightseers, directed by Ben Wheatley. The black comedy had jointly led the nominations with gang drama My Brother The Devil, with each having been put forward in three categories.
