Science fiction has long delivered audiences a long list of interesting stories that cover social topics and an array of characters, from adventurous sci-fi like John Carter to tales of alien life, like Contact. While most of these stories focus on heroic explorers, noble scientists and courageous soldiers, some movies shift the focus to villains. Although some of these movies will follow a bad guy slowly heading down the path of redemption, others explore moral ambiguity, showing how one person's hero can be another's villain.

Sci-fi has always allowed creators to explore a range of challenging themes, messages and varying perspectives on morality. Some of cinema's best morality plays have been told through the genre, whether that's adventures in the far reaches of space or more grounded tales set in present-day Earth. Centering villains of varying moral perspectives allows some of the most diverse stories to play out, showcasing the...

Out of all the David Cronenberg films I’ve seen, Videodrome always sticks with me as my favourite and some of his best work, if not The best. Having not seen it in a few years, Arrow Video’s new Blu-ray release was the perfect chance to catch up with the movie and see if my memories of it were purely nostalgia. Thankfully, they were not.

Max Renn (James Woods) is a sleazy cable-tv programmer looking for more extreme ways to entertain his viewers. When he discovers “Videodrome” it appears to be exactly what he was looking for. When he starts hallucinating though, he suddenly finds reality becoming warped to the point where he is not sure what is real, or what is Videodrome.

Universal Pictures is moving forward on its languishing remake of David Cronenberg's Videodrome, hiring commercial director Adam Berg for his feature directorial debut.

We first reported on this remake back in April 2009, when Universal brought on Ehren Kruger (Transformers: Dark of the Moon) to write the screenplay. The original starred James Woods as the head of Civic TV Channel 83. He injects new life into the network by airing a program dubbed Videodrome, which depicts gruesome murders and other violent acts that have a unique effect on viewers. Our initial report revealed that they plan to include nano-technology and make this a massive action sci-fi thriller.

Daniel Bobker will produce alongside Ehren Kruger, with Ren&#233 Malo serving as executive producer. Adam Berg has won numerous awards for his commercials and short films, such as the Film Grand Prix award at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival.

Videodrome was released February 4th,...
