The following interview contains spoilers for 407

Dark Winds follows Navajo Tribal Police officers Lt. Joe Leaphorn (Zain McClarnon), Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), and Bernadette Manuelito (Jessica Matten) as they investigate violent crimes on the reservation. In season four, however, the team is pulled to Los Angeles and must work outside their usual jurisdiction to try to stop a killer connected to organized crime.

In the penultimate episode of the season, the race to save Billie (Isabel DeRoy-Olson) from Irene Vaggan (Franka Potente) continues, however, things go from bad to worse when Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) ends up her prisoner alongside the girl.

McClarnon recently spoke to SciFi Vision and the press about season four, including his cat-and-mouse relationship with Vaggan.

Sci-fi fans should recognize Alex Zahara from his versatility across more than 150 television and film projects over the years, ranging from Jeremiah to Stargate SG-1 to Supernatural to Fringe and everything in between. More recently, he appeared in the film Final Destination: Bloodlines and plays the role of Principal Hartman in the supernatural series School Spirits.

Recently Zahara was kind enough to appear on SciFi Vision’s livestream spotlight series to speak not only about his role on School Spirits and the end of the season, but also about his prolific acting career and what’s next for him.

While crafting Hartman, the actor pulled from both the script as well as real-life school principals he had, as opposed to other principals on the screen. “I'm basing him on the script, what I believe his needs and wants and goals are, plus a little amalgamation of real people that I know,” the actor told SciFi Vision, likening it to a cocktail. “As actors, we're sponges. We absorb everything from everywhere.”

Zahara connected early on to the material and thought the concept was appealing because of his own beliefs in the supernatural. “I believe in ghosts; I believe in spirits, and that's why it's been a pleasure working on this, because I do think there's stuff out there,” explained the actor. In fact, he even offered up a real experience he had as a child, a visitation he believed was from his great aunt, and he knows he’s not the only one. “I'm not alone. There are a lot of people who have had ghostly, or I would say energetic encounters, and that's for real…There's no denying that there's something beyond our mortal coil, for sure.”

Set in the American South, the film Vampires of the Velvet Lounge follows Countess Elizabeth Báthory (Mena Suvari) and her coven of vampires, including Joan (India Eisley) who operate of a hidden absinthe bar where they lure in unsuspecting lonely victims they meet through dating apps and drain them to maintain their youth. When they target the wrong matches and cross paths with an undercover vampire hunter and a group of unsuspecting male targets who disrupt the plan, the coven’s routine begins to unravel, leading to a chaotic night of escalating violence, fangs, and green-winged fairies inside the bar.

Suvari and Eisley spoke with SciFi Vision about what drew them to Vampires of the Velvet Lounge and why the script felt different from typical horror material, working with blood effects, and more. Vampires of the Velvet Lounge is now in theaters.

In DRAGN, Tom Wilson (James Paxton) takes his family to Serbia to fill in for his boss at what he expects to be a routine team-building retreat in the remote forest, but after meeting with the head of the company, Petros (Alex Lane), things quickly go from bad to much worse when he and a group of colleagues from different branches of the company end up being hunted by a rogue AI-driven drone.

Recently, stars Paxton and Lane, who also produced the film and wrote the script, spoke with SciFi Vision to break down the movie, including their characters, stunts, practical effects, AI themes, and more.

DRAGN is now in theaters and available on demand.

Based on David Morrell’s 2005 novel Creepers, the supernatural horror-thriller Do Not Enter follows a group of thrill-seeking urban explorers who love taking things to the extreme and recording it for social media for the world to see. After a disagreement between members that ends one of them leaving the group, the four friends who stayed, including Rick (Jake Manley), his girlfriend Diane (Adeline Rudolph), Cora (Francesca Reale), and Vernon (Shane Paul McGhie), decide they need to do something big. With its past of supposed ghosts and a rumored $300 millions stashed in the abandoned building, New Jersey’s Paragon Hotel is the perfect place for their next livestreaming stunt in order to increase their fanbase. Ignoring the warnings, the Creepers, with the addition of reporter Frank Balenger (Laurence O’Fuarain), who they think can help grow their online fame, break into the hotel and have to contend with not only deadly rivals, but supernatural creatures that stalk them from the shadows.

Stars Manley, Rudolph, and Francesca recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film, including filming locations, rehearsing together, stunt work, and more.

The film opens today in theaters and is also now available on digital and on demand.

Deep in the American South, an absinth bar doubles as a deadly hunting ground for Countess Elizabeth Báthory (Mena Suvari) and her glamorous coven of vampires, who use dating apps to lure in and feed on unsuspecting singles to keep their youth intact. Everything runs smoothly until Elizabeth swipes right on the worst possible matches: a calculating undercover vampire hunter, Cora (Dichen Lachman), and a group of emotionally stunted men. From there, it all unravels into a fever dream of blood, seduction, and chaos, with fangs, glitter, and green fairy energy colliding in a savage grindhouse nightmare.

Lachman recently spoke with SciFi Vision about her experience filming the movie, including her excitement to be back in vampire world again, working with blood effects, building the character through voice, and more, as well as about the challenge of playing multiple versions of the same character across projects like Severance and Dollhouse, and how she relies on physical cues like body tension and movement to separate each version in her performance.

Vampires of the Velvet Lounge opens exclusively in theaters on Friday, March 20th.

Recently, Outlander began its eighth and final season. Thinking they’ve left the war behind them, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) Fraser return to Fraser’s Ridge to find a settlement that has thrived in the years they’ve been away, operating without their influence. The two discover, however, that leaving the war behind them is harder than they expected, and they soon must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the place they call home as well as what they would sacrifice to stay together.

Recently, executive producers Matthew B. Roberts and Maril Davis spoke with SciFi Vision about the impact Frank Randall’s book would have on the characters, difficulties in wrapping up the series, and more.

New episodes premiere each Friday on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.

In the film Protector, Nikki (Milla Jovovich), a decorated former soldier, has tried to leave combat behind and build a quiet life with her teenage daughter Chloe (Isabel Myers), but their fragile peace is fractured when Chloe is abducted by a human trafficking ring. As Nikki follows the limited clues she has into the city’s criminal underworld, she leaves death in her wake. Her ruthless methods and military training bring her into conflict with both the traffickers and law enforcement, drawing the attention of a determined police chief, Captain Miller (D.B. Sweeney), who puts her at the top of his wanted list as she races against time to find her child while avoiding the local police.

Recently, Sweeney spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film, including how the biggest draw was to work with Matthew Modine again, how he preps for his roles, and more.

Today, the final season of Outlander premieres on Starz. As season eight starts, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) discover that after leaving the Revolutionary War behind them, things have changed when they return to Fraser’s Ridge. It is now home to new arrivals and has become a thriving settlement since their absence. With all these changes they have to decide what they are willing to give up for the place they call home, even as it changes, and what they will give up to stay together. Also, family secrets are revealed that may break them. When Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) return with information from the future, it could mean death for one of the characters.

Alongside the central couples, the story highlights the next generation as Young Ian (John Bell) and Rachel Murray (Izzy Meikle-Small) begin building a life together at Fraser’s Ridge, welcoming the next generation of the Murray family, a sign of hope for the future even as the world around them becomes increasingly unstable.

Recently, Bell and Meikle-Small spoke with SciFi Vision about how becoming parents changes their characters, whether they were given or took anything from the set to remember their time on the series by, and how their lives have changed since starting work on the series.

In the film Protector, which premieres today in theaters, Milla Jovovich stars as Nikki, a veteran war hero who thought she left her violent past behind her on the battlefield, but her peaceful life is upended when her daughter, Chloe (Isabel Myers), is kidnapped by a human trafficking ring, and she must venture into the city’s criminal underworld to find and save her. As she tears through the crime syndicate using her training, leaving a trail of death in her wake, her mission becomes even more difficult as she attracts the attention of the police and military and must avoid them in her pursuit. As the local authorities, led by Captain Michaels (D.B. Sweeney), try to bring her in, Nikki’s former commanding officer (Matthew Modine) sums it up: he doesn’t need to protect Nikki from the criminals; he needs to protect them from her.

In a recent interview with SciFi Vision, Jovovich and Meyers opened up about what drew them to the project.

“[W]hen I got this script, it really resonated with me as a parent,” Jovovich told the site. “To be a mother of three girls and to know how human trafficking is such a problem, that it just keeps growing.”

The actress added that she felt like no one was making movies about the topic. “That's why I wanted to come in as a producer,” explained Jovovich, saying that it wasn’t just about streamlining the script. “[It was also to] make sure that once I was done filming as an actor, I had control of how the rest of the movie was going to be edited, scored, color graded, just to make sure that the subject matter was dealt with in the most sort of respectful way possible.”

Jovovich also liked that even though the film has violence and is exciting, it also has “heart and soul”.
