Harry Potter and Minority Report trailers

The first teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (the movie, that is!) is up now at the official website. Only 30 seconds at this stage but a nice preview of things to come nonetheless.

And on the subject of trailers a new one is out for Minority Report there is a new internet exclusive trailer up at the official site http://www.minorityreport.com/

All about Joss

Joss Whedon news abounds at SciFi Wire:

Joss Whedon is moving part of the production of the premiere of next year's season of Buffy to England. There are also some hints and teasers about next year… And some non-specific spoilers for the finale of THIS season (so tread carefully!). Click here to read all about it.

In Angel news apparently Cordy will definitely be in Season 4. Some fairly specific spoilers here (darn it! I fell into these ones!). More info...

And some info about the pilot of Joss' NEW project (Firefly) is here

MIBII

As you've probably seen in the media Will Smith and Tommy Lee are in here to promote Men In Black II. Check out the official site http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/meninblack/ for trailers, a funky screen saver (featuring Pug) and alien info…
Articles at News.com.au and SMH

AOTC

And while you're at the SMH check out a rather erm… controversial… interesting… potentially upsetting… article on Attack of the Clones.

The Saturns

AI and The Lord of the Rings cleaned up at the recent Saturn Awards. Also honoured were Buffy the Vampire Slayer (in TV) and The Others for horror. Full winners (and some editorial) over at the Cinescape website.

Peter McNamara Award

Congratulations to HarperCollins' Stephanie Smith who was nominated for this year's Peter McNamara Award (presented last weekend at ConVergance). Well done!

The purpose of the McNamara Achievement Award is to firstly recognise the outstanding achievement of its namesake, Peter McNamara - a writer, editor and publisher of fine Science Fiction and Fantasy.

For more info on the award check out the the Altair Australia website.

Sir Julius Vogel - Congratulations Dale Elvy!

This just in from author Dale Elvy (currently doing some publicity in New Zealand):

Just dropping you a line from NZ to let you know... (Drum Roll)

First Hunter won the Sir Julius Vogel award for Best New Novel and I was lucky enough to win the award for Best New Talent.

The awards are decided by a three day vote by all members of the New Zealand Science Fiction association, so I condsider it a real honour as it is a fan's choice award.

WELL DONE, DALE! The sequel to First Hunter is called Spirit Shinto and will be released in Australia in August.
