One supposes that when one's father stars in so many movies featuring extraterrestrial threats, it might be easy to assume that aliens are, in fact, the real deal. And who better to confirm this than the Commander in Chief. So, despite his father's urgings, Will Smith's son, Jaden, asked President Obama to tell him the truth.

It was a sad day for Karen Gillan—who plays the Doctor's (Matt Smith) companion Amy Pond on Doctor Who—when she filmed her last scene on the show last Saturday. But at least the actress came out of her time on Who with a little something extra special from the TARDIS set to keep as a souvenir.

The year's first big box office bomb has already dropped in Disney's John Carter, and prognosticators think the board-game-inspired alien invasion flick Battleship could be the next to crash and burn—mostly because of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

While we're still "waiting" for that Keanu Reeves Sinbad movie, Sky1 (a premium U.K. channel) and BBC Worldwide have gone ahead with their own re-imagining of the classic Arabian Nights tale. And it sure looks like we could be in for an exciting magical ride.

Sure, we love sci-fi and fantasy for all the spaceships and wizards and trolls and giant robots, but there's a cuter side to our favorite genre stories, too. Science fiction is filled with awesome pets, whether they're magical regenerative birds or robot dogs that follow time travelers throughout the galaxy.

We finally have a true preview clip for The CW's Arrow, which sets up the premise and shows off some of the action we can expect once the show ramps up this fall. So how does it look? Truth be told, pretty darn cool.

When Star Trek TOS first aired in 1966, the sci-fi series had one of the most racially diverse casts ever seen on TV. And judging from the stories that were passed on for years, everyone thought it was Gene Roddenberry himself who pushed for the idea. Now a historian is saying that's not what really happened.

We've seen some pretty outrageous public-relations stunts before—sometimes they work, sometimes they suck out loud—but this Prometheus installation that 20th Century Fox set up in a Parisian metro station is rather ingenious. And creepy.

With Universal's Battleship steaming out of the gates today, what's going on with those other big-screen board game adaptations? Are they still stuck in port or cruising for the silver screen?

With the release of the controversial comic prequel series Before Watchmen getting close, DC execs are again doing damage control on why they believe the follow-ups are necessary—and they hope original Watchmen creator Alan Moore will bring an "open mind" to the effort. Hmm, I wouldn't count on it.

It's been a relatively quiet few months since we learned that Ridley Scott was working on a sequel to his seminal 1982 film Blade Runner. But things are heating up now, and we finally have some juicy details on what we can expect when we return to the Replicant-filled world.

If you're wondering how the big-screen rendition of Orson Scott Card's acclaimed sci-fi novel Ender's Game is shaping up, you're in luck—the author just got back from the set and has written all about it. What stood out to him the most? Apparently the fact that he didn't actually recognize a lot of it.

Would you like to see a truly awesome Prometheus poster? Are you sure? Better think twice, because once you see the possible spoiler contained in the image promoting Ridley Scott's outer-space epic, there's no way you'll be able to unsee it. [WARNING: There may be spoilers ahead!]

With this summer's grand experiment in intellectual stimulation, Battleship, crashing into theaters in a matter of hours—and one of its stars being the chart-topping musician Rihanna—we figured it was a good time to see how rock stars fared in sci-fi offerings. Here's the good, the bad and the very ugly.

Throughout his career, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has gone from star wrestler to bona fide action movie star. What's next? Well, rumor has it The Rock could be eyeing a DC superhero for his latest turn.

We've got a first look at The CW's new fall shows, Arrow and Beauty and the Beast. While we'll have to wait until next week to see the trailers, the new sneak peeks give us a hint at what the shows will look like.

With the release of Elementary's first footage and first official pic, it was inevitable we'd hear from Steven Moffat. After all, the upcoming CBS series was clearly "inspired" by the extremely popular and beloved BBC series Sherlock.

We all wish we could own Tony Stark's iconic red and gold Iron Man armor, but we don't have Tony Stark's bank account to help make it happen.
