The action thriller DIG premieres March 5th on USA Network. The series focuses on a murder mystery in modern day Jerusalem as well as an international conspiracy that spans the globe. DIG stars Jason Isaacs (Awake; Harry Potter franchise) as FBI agent Peter Connelly as he tries to find the killer and uncover the truth behind the conspiracies that could change the course of history.

The series was created by and is executive produced by Tim Kring (Heroes) and Gideon Raff (Homeland). Kring recently talked to the media about the new series and the mysteries that it's based on.

Kring talked to SciFi Vision about the research into the mysteries and conspiracies that DIG is based around. “[Gideon and I] first had this idea about a murder mystery set in the old city of Jerusalem that uncovers a deep conspiracy, that had to do with all kinds of biblical prophecies and end of days ideas.

“And all you have to do is do a little bit of research and a floodgate of material comes your way.

SHARKNADO 3 TO WREAK HAVOC AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT

NEW YORK – February 19, 2015 – Now Florida will know what it feels like to be hit by a Sharknado! The eagerly anticipated Syfy and The Asylum production Sharknado 3 will shoot key scenes at Universal Orlando Resort, it was announced today.

Featuring stars Ian Ziering, Tara Reid and Cassie Scerbo, Sharknado 3 will premiere on Syfy in July, causing mass destruction in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., before roaring down the Eastern Seaboard and into Florida. Ziering and Reid will reprise their roles as Fin and April, respectively, while Cassie Scerbo will play Nova, her character from the original 2013 Sharknado movie.

Anthony C. Ferrante will once again direct, based on an original screenplay by Thunder Levin.

Sharknado 3 is a production of The Asylum.

Tomorrow night History premieres its third season of the popular series Vikings. The new 10-episode season stars Clive Standen as Rollo.

Standen recently talked to the media about what fans can expect in the upcoming season.

The actor talked to the press about part of what resonates about the show with viewers, one being its originality. "...I think what makes it original is that there’s nothing like this on TV. The only shows that people can compare it to are fantasy shows, because they have the dragons and they have the monsters and the dwarves and the elves and things. We don’t have any of that, but because of the Viking belief system, and the gods they believed in, it verges on the fantastical.

"...These are things that these people believed in. So we get to tie it all out and the screen. We had these Viking characters the way they believed this is all true, and the gods themselves. So it does verge on something that’s otherworldly; and because the Vikings did all the things they did over the hundreds of years they did it, the conquests, the action, the raiding, the adventure, the technology of the boats, it suddenly brought in a completely different demographic that are used to watching historical dramas on TV. Before Vikings came along, historical dramas were in that bracket of Sunday night television where your mom and dad would sit down and watch a bit of Pride and Prejudice, or watch Keira Knightley in a corset. Now, you can sit down with your parents, be sitting and watching these historical raiders colonizing and raiding half of Europe and these eother continents, and I think it just makes so incredible event TV.

Tomorrow History's Vikings returns to television with all new episodes of season three. Alexander Ludwig, who plays the part of Bjorn, son of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), recently talked to the media in preparation of the premiere.

The actor talked to SciFi Vision about how he got the part of Bjorn. "It was funny how this actually came about. A woman named Sherry Marsh, who’s one of our executive producers on the show, had seen me in The Hunger Games and had seen that I had a strong resemblance to Nathan, who played the original Bjorn, and that I resembled Travis as well. She contacted my team and brought up this show and said, “Is Alexander doing anything?” I just finished Lone Survivor at that time. We had a talk and I’d never thought I would ever do a TV show.

"I think it was just when TV was really starting to have some really great content. I hadn’t actually seen Vikings yet. So I started watching the show, and I called some of my friends and told them what was happening. They were like, “You would be an idiot not to go on the show,” because they were already huge fans of it, and I hadn’t been able to, because I’m not watching very much TV. So I went in and I met with the president of MGM Television and everybody who’s involved with Vikings including Travis and Katheryn.

Last night actor Jason Tobias guest starred on ABC Family's The Fosters, where he played 'Bounce.' The actor talked one on one recently to SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about that role, as well as some of the other projects he's been working on.

Tobias talked about his character on the show. "I play 'Bounce' on The Fosters. And I am basically running a pharm party. So in a pharm party - I did not know anything about this; this was news to me - these are parties where kids will just bring random pharmaceutical drugs; they will dump it into the bowl, and then they will pay to get into the party. Usually it's like a rave type scenario, or maybe it's just a band playing or something like that, then as they have this kind of like candy jar of pharmaceutical drugs, they'll just take random drugs, random prescription pills.

Thursday, March 5, USA Network premieres its new action thriller DIG. Centering around a murder mystery as well as an ancient conspiracy that spans the globe, the series follows FBI agent Peter Connelly (Jason Isaacs) as he tries to solve a murder and uncover secrets.

Alison Sudol plays Emma Wilson, an intriguing girl who might hold the key to the conspiracy.

Sudol, who's probably best known for her music career, recently talked to the media about her new role.

The actress talked to journalists during the conference call about what made her want to be a part of the show. “The adventure of it on so many levels, the adventure of the story, the storyline; the adventure of actually going to Israel and filming this show was incredibly exciting to me.

“Emma is such a layered character and I found her really intriguing and also her love for history, and for Jerusalem, and for archeology, and for life was really powerful and I wanted to play somebody like that. I wanted to explore that.”

Jupiter Ascending follows Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a young housecleaner who was destined for much more. With an uncanny resemblance to galactic royalty, she is thrust into the middle of a family drama of siblings vying for control of Earth. Accompanied by a genetically engineered hybrid hunter, Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), she must fight to protect the planet from tyrants who are set on harvesting off the world's population.

As expected at this point from an action film by the Wachowskis, the visuals on the film were absolutely stunning. There was always something gorgeous to look at, even when there wasn't action on screen. The world that was created for the movie was quite beautiful and unique, as were the makeup and costumes. The colors were vibrant, and in this case, watching the film in 3-D really helped to showcase the magnificence.
