Inspiring a bit of double take from time travel fans, Matt Smith and Karen Gillan arrived at a “Doctor Who” screening on Saturday in New York City in a vintage DeLorean. The DeLorean (DeLorean DMC-12), was the sole car produced by John DeLorean’s DeLorean Motor Company, and it was made famous to movie fans when it was used as the time machine in the Back to the Future films.

“A Sound of Thunder”: It’s a time travel story. It’s a dinosaur story. And it’s one of the best examples of both. It’s also a classic and hugely influential. This adaptation originally aired on the radio show “Bradbury 13″ on May 21, 1984.
Yes, as promised, here’s the second version of H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” from “Escape”. This one aired less than a week before Halloween on October 22, 1950.
Those who listened to the first one will notice this utilizes the same script. However, there are adjustments in production quality. And this one stars radio favorite John Dehner! If you’d like to listen to the first version of this script you can listen to it here.
DC is beating the drum for their massive relaunch/reboot in September. First, they released a bunch of preview art. Then they sent out 52 “one-liners”. Each coming from one of the new issues. And each, supposedly, relating to the over-arcing themes of the reboot.
After the jump, we share the one-liners and all the color preview art with you!
From May 5, 1948 comes another episode of the fantastic CBS radio series “Escape”. This one an adaptation of H. G. Wells “The Time Machine”.
It’s not an especially faithful adaptation. But, then again, neither was the George Pal movie. It’s a fine adaptation nonetheless. Full of excitement, adventure and a bit of Wells thoughtful complexity. And it features the usual fine production values that are a hallmark of CBS radio productions. “Escape” would do another version of this script in 1950. We will present that version tomorrow.
Spielberg’s latest foray into TV has many geeks excited. It’s Sci-Fi. It’s time travel. It may even feature dinosaurs! And, frankly, we fall into the geek camp on this one. Spielberg’s track record on TV hasn’t been great, but, still, we have to admit this one has us excited as well. And these first pix from the series have increased that.
And you know what makes us even a bit sadder about this whole thing? We spent more than a few minutes studying these photos. Okay, it wasn’t just more than a few minutes, it was closer to an hour. We said we were sad.
