Brendan Fehr Stars in "Ice Quake"
Growing up in Canada, Brendan Fehr did not plan on being an actor. For some quick-cash he stopped by Look Talent Management for a modeling assignment when the manager suggested he try acting instead. The rest is history. Most people probably know Fehr for his work on Roswell as the character Michael Guerin, or perhaps from CSI: Miami or Bones. He however, has also appeared in other series, such as Millennium and Samurai Girl. He has worked in film as well, landing roles in Disturbing Behavior, Final Destination, and The Forsaken, to name a few.
Fehr now can be seen starring in the Syfy original movie, Ice Quake, premiering tonight on Syfy at 9PM ET/PT.
Ice Quake, which also stars Victor Garber (Alias, Glee), takes place on Christmas Eve, when the Alaskan permafrost thaws, creating underground rivers of liquid methane, causing earthquakes. A family is separated and must find each other and work together to stop an explosion that could wipe out the planet.
Brendan Fehr sat down with the digital media to discuss life and this upcoming role.
Colin Ferguson on Christmas in Eureka
Christmas is just around the corner and your favorite Syfy shows are back for the holidays with special standalone episodes. On December 7th, fans will get to see what the holidays are like in the town of Eureka in "Oh Little Town…" Global Dynamic employees celebrate at a holiday party, when as usual an experiment goes wrong. Carter’s plans are put on hold when he, Zoe, and the rest of the town are trapped in Eureka during a heat wave. Matt Frewer returns as Taggert and Chris Parnell guest stars. Colin Ferguson, who stars in Eureka, and also directed the Syfy original movie Triassic Attack that premiered last weekend on Syfy, sat down with the online media to discuss Christmas in Eureka and his other endeavors.
Review: The Walking Dead 1x03, "Tell it to the Frogs"
By Karen Moul
As The Walking Dead approached the halfway point of the season, the writers took a step back and gave us some character development and group dynamics. Episodes like this are needed to sustain the major themes through the rest of this season and into next. While it seemed as if not a lot happened, we had a huge advance in the Rick-Lori-Shane storyline. Add in some compelling action among the supporting cast and overall this was another excellent episode.
The Grimes family reunion was handled beautifully. I actually had a knot in my stomach waiting for Shane and Lori to see Rick. I can't remember the last time a TV show made me feel that much tension and anticipation, probably not since Lost. Sarah Wayne Callies was excellent in this scene, in just a few moments you could see the disorientation on Lori's face, then the recognition, and perhaps a split second of joy before her expression turned to horror. Andrew Lincoln's reactions as Rick saw his son were also moving. Nice work all around.

All-new Syfy Series: Face Off - Video Preview
A brand new series is premiering on Syfy on January 26! Face Off transforms reality by creating a competition/elimination series exploring the world of special effects make-up artists and seeing how perception can be distorted. Every week contestants will be challenged and pushed to create a whole new world with makeup, culminating in one winner for one grand prize that will launch a career. Syfy has signed McKenzie Westmore (host), three incredible veteran judges: Ve Neill (Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands), Glenn Hetrick (Heroes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files) and Patrick Tatopoulos (Underworld, Independence Day, Resident Evil: Extinction), and a wide array of dynamic contestants.
Below we have a thirty second spot launching the original series, Face Off. It will take you through the sequence of developing a young female actress into an alien, older woman, or even a man. It’s simply a taste of what’s to be expected as contestants square off to showcase their skills on the all-new Syfy series. One lucky winner will have the chance to harness those make-up skills in a brand new career.

Syfy Original Movie: Ice Quake - Press Release & Video
In light of the holidays right around the corner, Syfy is continuing in the Christmas spirit with a new Saturday Original movie called Ice Quake, as a family is forced to fight for survival among cataclysmic disasters instead of simply fighting the thought of whether or not to have another plate of leftovers. While caught on a mountain that’s covered in white as far as the eye can see the surface begins to rumble and the land begins to open. An invisible field pops up out of the crack that causes a turn for the worst. Watch the clip and tune in on December 11th at 9/8c only on Syfy.
Dark Times Are Ahead in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"
Part one of the seventh story in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, opened Friday worldwide. The craze for the young boy wizard first started over thirteen years ago when Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was first published in London and continued to grow when the first movie was released in 2001. Nine years later, the fanbase still continues to expand as theaters around the world were sold out for opening night. The movie brought in $125.1 million domestically for the opening weekend, with the worldwide total coming in at $330.1 million."Riese" Special Guests on Fandom Access
Last week Fandom Access welcomed surprise special guest of Riese: Kingdom Falling, Ryan Copple. This week Nick Humphries, director and producer of the Syfy web series will be joining us to answer your questions. Listen and chat live tomorrow at 10pm eastern. You can also download last week's podcast on the show page.
"Skyline" Will Pull You In
If you have seen the trailer for the science fiction thriller Skyline, which opens in theaters today, you may think you have the movie figured out, but you would be wrong. The previews have had people comparing Skyline to movies such as Independence Day or War of the Worlds, but they were intentionally misleading. The creators of the film, Colin and Greg Strause, who also directed the film, did not want people feeling like they knew the movie from the trailers; they wanted them to be surprised. Yes, the movie has fantastic special effects, and yes, it is about aliens taking over, but that's not what lies at the heart of the film. You won't see governments making plans to annihilate the aliens. You'll instead see a group of people fighting for survival in the best ways they know how. Some will try to run; others will stay behind. What would you do? The story follows Jarrod, played by Eric Balfour (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 24, Haven), and his girlfriend as they travel to meet Jarrod's friend Terry (Donald Faison; Clueless, Scrubs), who now is living it up in a penthouse in Los Angeles. The group wake up after partying to what at first is assumed to be an earthquake, but they soon discover it to be much more. Blue light streams in through the windows and one of Terry's friends (Neil Hopkins; Lost, Castle) goes to check it out and suddenly disapears. Jarrod's journey starts, when while trying to help, he is pulled into the light himself, only escaping presumed death by the help of his friends as they struggle and eventually pull him back. They watch in terror as the spaceships' lights take a hold of the people of LA, and the aliens eventually venture into the buildings to capture the rest.
The group struggles to make the right choices to survive the invasion. The twists in the movie will surprise you, and as Eric Balfour, the star of the movie said in a recent, exclusive interview with Sci Fi Vision, "It's not your Disney alien movie. There's no happy ending."
Eric Balfour Stars in "Skyline" Opening Tomorrow
"Don't look up." That's the tagline of the new science fiction thriller, Skyline, which opens tomorrow in theaters. The movie stars Eric Balfour as Jarrod, who recently sat down with Jamie Ruby of Sci Fi Vision and Media Blvd. for a private, exclusive interview.
Balfour is probably best known for his work on series such as Six Feet Under, 24, and more recently his role as Duke Crocker in Syfy's Haven. He however has also appeared on the silver screen, in films such as What Women Want, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Spirit.
Balfour's fans will be happy to know that he and the rest of the cast and crew will resume filming Haven in April with an airdate scheduled for the end of June. He and his costars are excited to get back to filming.
