Contents The Starburst Review of the Year
Everything you need to know about the year's SF offerings from the worlds of Film and TV, from the triumphs (X2, much Lord of the Rings-ness) to the less popular (Birds of Prey, the Matrix sequels...).
The Lord of the Rings features...
- Orlando Bloom He may be buckling his swash across the seas of the Caribbean in his spare time, but to us he'll always be the blond elf who showed us new ways of giving someone a jab in the eye with a sharp stick. Orlando Bloom talks to us about hanging up his pointy ears once last time...
- Andrew Lesnie One of the most outstanding achievements of The Lord of the Rings trilogy has been its cinematography, perfectly capturing the essence of Tolkien's world. Master cinematographer Andrew Lesnie gives us the inside skinny on how it was done...
- Bernard Hill King Theoden himself, British actor Bernard Hill, explains exactly what it is about actors that makes them just a little bit 'damaged', and how this relates to his work in the final part of The Lord of the Rings.
What Things May Come...
- 2004 Preview Just what have we got to look forward to in the world of Science Fiction over the next 12 months? Well, there's Catwoman and Spider-Man 2 - and that's just for starters...
- DVD Previews Details of the biggest and best DVD releases expected next year, including - finally! - the original Star Wars trilogy.

Plus...
- Hulk CGI Special Effects It may not have blown fans away at the box office, but only the foolhardy would deny that the stylistic CGI on Ang Lee's superhero smashathon is actually a bit smashtastic. Our man in the green greasepaint went down to ILM to check out how the special effects maestros managed to pull it off.
- Andromeda Director David Winning takes us behind the scenes on part of Gene Roddenberry's legacy.
- Star Trek: Enterprise Half Human, half Klingon; half actor, half director! Actress-turned-lens-meister Roxann Dawson tells us how she made from the transition from one role to another, and from one series to another.
- Battlestar Galactica On the eve of the unveiling of the new mini-series, we talk to the original Starbuck, Dirk Benedict, about his role in the show, and his opinions on the rebirth of Starbuck... as a woman?
- Buffy The Vampire Slayer The show may have finished, but fandom lives on: we talk to series regulars and temperamental good/bad guys the Troika about where their lives (and deaths) have lead them since.
- Farscape One of the televisual tragedies of 2003 was the sudden and unexpected cancellation of Farscape. We talk to former Luxan Warrior Anthony Simcoe about his character D'Argo's development and the disturbing reality of being a "tall, skinny Australian".
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine The face behind Martok, Chancellor of the Klingon Empire, has turned his hand to novels based on the character, and he tells us why.
