Though the very idea of following a religion based on a popular series of films may sound amusing to outsiders, it's clear that at least some of the people interviewed in American Jedi are very serious about their beliefs. That makes it very good news that Freestyle Digital Media has acquired North American rights to the documentary and has made plans for digital distribution in November 2017. It's a timely announcement in view of the giant gathering of fans in San Diego, California for Comic-Con this weekend. Laurent Malaquais, who previously explored unexpectedly devout fans in his documentary Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony, decided to chronicle "real life 'Jedi' who follow the Jedi path based on the Star Wars mythology,"...

Hasbro isn't horsing around with its latest film project. The toy maker's film division has announced plans to bring My Little Pony to the big screen. EW has confirmed that Hasbro Studios is producing a My Little Pony movie, set to release in 2017. The film will be one of the first produced through Hasbro's Allspark Pictures, along with the already-announced Jem and the Holograms adaptation, which is slated for 2015. Variety first reported the news.

Oddbird Theatricals is seeking talent for its production of “Bronies! The Musical!,” the original show about three guys who find meaning, love, and purpose, all thanks to cartoon ponies. And if you’ve yet to hear about “bronies,” they’re male viewers/fans of My Little Pony and there’s even a film about them: “Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony.” So if you’re up for a fun challenge, auditions are being held April 1 in Hollywood, Calif., and there are roles for both males and females of all ethnicities. For more details, check out the casting notice for “Bronies! The Musical” here, and be sure to check out the rest of our audition listings!

Being of a certain age I've been to a few conventions over the years, had the pleasure of rubbing shoulders with various sci-fi and cult TV luminaries, seen things you people wouldn't believe (buy me a beer and I'll tell you a tale or two!), but somehow in all this time and despite being a fan I've never been to a dedicated Star Trek convention, so this past weekend at Destination Star Trek London has been memorable in a great many ways.

Considering the high profile that Trek has consistently enjoyed in the media, pop culture and among fans pretty much since its inception in 1966, and especially since the J.J.
