The television show covers movies, television, books, comics and community events. The show has HypaSpace daily shows and HypaSpace weekly shows which sums up the week of news. The series was casual and irreverent. HypaSpace was produced by Simon Evans and Michelle Dudas.

There were 260 episodes per year, excluding the first year, which started in May, and the sixth year, as the daily shows were pulled around mid-December with only the weekend edition airing. The daily segments stopped being produced in mid-December 2007, which meant that in its last year, the show had only 26 episodes. There were approximately 1480 episodes of the show.

In May 2005, Kim Poirier took over hosting the show, joining original host Jonathan Llyr, now a reporter for the program. Poirier left the show in July 2007.

Segments of HypaSpace aired interstitially between Space programs.

biography:
Bryan Singer [ˈbɹaɪən ˈsɪŋɚ], né le 17 septembre 1965 à New York aux États-Unis, est un scénariste, réalisateur de cinéma et producteur de série télévisée américain.

Diplômé en 1989 de l'USC School of Cinema-Television où il rencontre le compositeur John Ottman, Bryan Singer réalise son premier film en 1993, le thriller Public access récompensé aux Festivals de Sundance et Deauvile. Bryan a écrit ce film avec son ami d'enfance, Christopher McQuarrie.

Deux ans après, les deux hommes collaborent à nouveau et se font connaitre aux yeux du grand public avec Usual suspects, diabolique thriller manipulateur tourné en 35 jours pour six millions de dollars, qui révèle Kevin Spacey. Lauréat de deux Oscars (meilleur second rôle masculin et meilleur scénario original), le film est aussi nommé au César du meilleur film étranger et repris à de nombreuses reprises dans les palmarès de l'année des critiques américaines.

Toujours attaché au thème de l'identité, central dans sa filmographie, Bryan Singer signe Un élève doué en 1998 d'après une oeuvre de Stephen King et dirige pour la première fois Ian McKellen en ex-commandant SS. Mais le thème sulfureux de ce nouveau thriller, un adolescent fasciné par un voisin ancien nazi, fait fuir le public et de nombreuses critiques.

Quelques temps plus tard, le réalisateur surprend en dirigeant pour la première fois un blockbuster mettant en scène des super-héros : X-Men (2000). Bryan en profite pour diriger une nouvelle fois Ian McKellen qui se glisse cette fois dans la peau du redoutable Magneto, grand méchant de la franchise. Le film connait un succès phénoménal et le cinéaste en tourne une suite encore plus grandiose deux ans plus tard sobrement intitulée X-Men 2.

Fort du succès de ces deux films, il est un temps pressenti pour réaliser l'épisode final de la trilogie, mais il abandonne finalement la franchise pour se consacrer à la star de DC Comics, Superman. Bénéficiant d'un budget dépassant les 250 millions de dollars, Singer donne un nouveau départ au célèbre super-héros avec Superman Returns en 2006.

Après le succès mitigé des nouvelles aventures de l'homme d'acier, Bryan retourne à ses sujets de prédilection : la Seconde Guerre mondiale et le nazisme. En 2009, le metteur en scène réalise donc Walkyrie, long métrage basé sur un fait réel, le complot allemand (fomenté par Tom Cruise) visant à assassiner Adolf Hitler en 1944. Pour écrire ce film, Bryan collabore à nouveau avec Christopher McQuarrie, 14 ans après "Usual Suspects".

Les deux amis ne se quittent désormais plus ; en 2013, ils travaillent ensemble pour la quatrième fois pour Jack le chasseur de géants, adaptation du conte populaire britannique "Jack et le haricot magique". Parallèlement à la mise en scène, Bryan Singer est très actif dans la production, que ce soit pour le grand (la quasi-totalité de ses réalisations, X-Men: Le Commencement) ou le petit écran (les séries Dirty Sexy Money, Dr House).

Continuant sur la franchise X-Men, il produit et réalise les deux volets suivants de la série, X-Men : Days of future past en 2014 et X-Men: Apocalypse en 2016

biography:
Christopher McQuarrie est un scénariste et réalisateur américain né le 31 mai 1968 à West Windsor Township près de Princeton dans le New Jersey.

Il est surtout connu pour sa collaboration avec le réalisateur Bryan Singer, notamment pour le film Usual Suspects, et avec l'acteur Tom Cruise.

Christopher McQuarrie étudie à la West Windsor-Plainsboro High School dans le New Jersey. C'est sur les bancs de ce lycée qu'il rencontre Bryan Singer, avec qui il noue une amitié indéfectible. Les compères signent leur première collaboration pour le film Ennemi public en 1993, un thriller écrit par McQuarrie que réalise Bryan Singer. Ce premier long-métrage est projeté au Festival de Sundance et au Festival de Deauville 1993 et ressort auréolé du Prix du Jury dans ces 2 festivals.

Fort de ce premier succès, les deux hommes récidivent deux ans plus tard en signant un grand classique du thriller policier des années 90, Usual Suspects. Réalisé avec un budget modeste de 6 millions de dollars, le film est un immense succès critique et commercial et consacre ses acteurs principaux (Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro...). Christopher McQuarrie reçoit l'Oscar du meilleur scénario pour ce long-métrage devenu culte. Le scénariste, qui a travaillé dans une agence de détective pendant 4 ans avant de se consacrer au cinéma avec Bryan Singer, tire de cette expérience l'écriture de "Usual Suspects".

En 2000, l'auteur passe à la réalisation en signant The Way of the Gun, brillant polar réunissant Ryan Phillippe, Benicio Del Toro et James Caan. McQuarrie revient au 7ème art en 2008, après 8 années d'absence. Il collabore à nouveau avec Bryan Singer en signant le scénario de Walkyrie. Cette fois-ci, l'auteur s'attaque au thriller politique avec l'écriture de cette histoire tirée d'un évènement survenu pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'attentat raté contre Hitler en juillet 1944. Le film est notamment interprété par Tom Cruise et Kenneth Branagh.

De nouveau sur le devant de la scène, le scénariste crée la série TV Persons Unknown en 2010 et rédige le scénario de The Tourist de Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, remake du film français Anthony Zimmer. Bien que réunissant un casting prestigieux (Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie) et bénéficiant d'un budget pharaonique (100 millions de dollars), le film est un échec critique et commercial. Cela n'empêche pas McQuarrie de repasser une nouvelle fois à la réalisation en 2012 avec l'adaptation du roman à succès de Lee Child, Jack Reacher. Ce film lui permet de travailler à nouveau avec Tom Cruise, qui campe le justicier solitaire et taciturne Jack Reacher.

Christopher McQuarrie reste très en vue en 2013 ; l'auteur signe les scénarios de The Wolverine de James Mangold et Jack le chasseur de géants de Bryan Singer, marquant ainsi sa quatrième collaboration avec son ami d'enfance. Il se consacre ensuite principalement à l'écriture et la réalisation des nouveaux épisodes de Mission impossible : Mission : Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015), Mission impossible : Fallout (2018), Mission impossible : Dead Reckoning (2023) et Mission impossible 8 (2024). Parallèlement, il participe à l'écriture d'autres blockbusters avec Tom Cruise : Edge of Tomorrow, La Momie et Top Gun Maverick, lequel génère pas loin de 1,5 milliard de dollars au box-office mondial.

F. W. Murnau

biography: Friedrich Wilhelm “F. W.” Murnau (December 28, 1888 – March 11, 1931) was one of the most influential German film directors of the silent era, and a prominent figure in the expressionist movement in German cinema during the 1920s. Although some of Murnau’s films have been lost, most still survive. While the horror film Nosferatu (1922) is his most famous work, the romantic melodrama Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) is his critically most acclaimed; the British Film Institute's 2012 Sight & Sound critics' poll named it the fifth-best film in the history of motion pictures. Murnau's characteristics are an atmospheric imagery and an innovative use of camera movement. Andrew Sarris in his influential book of film criticism The American Cinema: Directors and Directions 1929–1968 included him in the "pantheon" of the 14 greatest film directors who had worked in the United States.
