Primeval: New World updates

Niall Matter has spoken about his role in Primeval: New World.

The North American spinoff from ITV's Primeval will air in late 2012 on Watch in the UK and Space in Canada.

Eureka star Matter - who plays hero Evan Cross - told SciFiNow that New World has a "harder edge" than the original series."

Our moments with the dinosaurs are going to be a lot more real and higher stakes," he suggested.

"It's got a harder edge that we walk on, because every time we see these creatures it affects us in a huge way and we're never getting used to that. I feel like the original Primeval knew a lot more about the world that they were dealing with than we do."

Matter revealed that his character Cross will first discover one of the show's anomalies by accident.

"He's not really sure what it is but he does know that it's creating radio interference so he goes to search for the source," explained the actor."He stumbles across one of these anomalies. In doing that, though, he loses the most important thing in his life."

Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries), Miranda Frigon (Heartland), Geoff Gustafson (Once Upon a Time) and Danny Rahim (Young James Herriot) will also star in Primeval: New World, while Stargate's Amanda Tapping will direct.

Doctor Who: series 7 Casting News

Three new names have been added to the guest cast for Doctor Who's seventh series...
Courtesy of tomorrow's edition of Doctor Who Magazine comes news of three guest cast members appearing opposite Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman in series 7. Those names? Jessica Raine, David Warner, and Liam Cunningham.

Raine, who was most recently seen as lead Jenny Lee in BBC drama Call The Midwife, will be popping up alongside Mission: Impossible II and Desperate Housewives' Dougray Scott in the Neil Cross-penned episode, which has already been filmed. Cross has migrated to Who from Luther and Spooks, and this episode marks his debut on the show.

David Warner, who's been in all sort of geek fare over the years from Tron to Twin Peaks, The Outer Limits, and more than one iteration of Star Trek, is to co-star with Game of Thrones' Liam Cunningham in Mark Gatiss' historical episode, the script for which Blogtor Who informs us has been teased to include the words "meat", "klaxon" and "Vienna". There, now with those three words to go on, how can we complain that Who's creators never reveal anything?
