I’m desperately hoping winter will be over by the time you read this, which means a new season, a whole new slew of sci-fi , fantasy and horror goodies, and a new editor for SciFiNow
magazine. I must say I am truly honoured to be taking over the mantle of this illustrious publication, and look forward to exciting genre times ahead.
And what an issue to start on! Once we were all over the panic of trying to silently eat popcorn in the cinema, it turned out that A Quiet Place would be one of a number of great horror fi lms in 2018. The post-apocalyptic movie sent shivers down the spines of cinemagoers around the world and this month we were delighted to sit down with director John Krasinski and stars Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy to discuss its highly-anticipated sequel, A Quiet Place Part II.
Elsewhere in the issue, Disney+ is fi nally here (or it will be, just a couple of weeks after you read this) and we can’t wait! To make sure you’re prepared for the binge-fest ahead, we have given you a rundown of all the lovely content you can expect from the streaming service. We even spoke to stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano and Carl Weathers about one of the platform’s biggest programmes, The Mandalorian, a western-esque show which follows a lone bounty hunter throughout the Star Wars universe.
Also this month, we introduced a new generation of kids to the Psammead with a look at new Sky series, Four Kids And It and we honoured our fathers by speaking to Mulan director Niki Caro about taking on a live action version of the Disney classic. Talking of badass women, we also spoke to Batwoman’s showrunner Caroline Dries and actor Camrus Johnson about the newest member of the Arrowverse, and to top it all off we sat down for a nice long chat with genre legend and ultimate bad guy, Michael Emerson.
If that wasn’t enough, we caught up with Oscar-winning, Bong Joon-ho to talk about his 2006 classic The Host; took an in-depth look into the troubled life of Mary Shelley and her ground-breaking novel, Frankenstein; and got down and dirty with those damn bugs with a look at Paul Verhoeven’s classic sci-fi satire, Starship Troopers.
So get ‘quietly’ excited for another great month of genre, and if you have any feedback on the magazine, questions, or if you just want to say hi,
Rachael Harper, Editor channels.
