• What if the bad guy won?

  Movies
  

  This is a fantastic idea. What if the bad guy won? This could be dark and scary. It’s not. It’s going to be a comedy but I still sense it’s going to be cool. Waaaay back in March we posted the first Megamind trailer. Thanks to Comic Con we now have another one. Enjoy! Is [...]

• Sucker Punch trailer: Alice in Wonderland with machine guns

  Movies
  

  Zack Synder (Watchmen, 300) described Sucker Punch as “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns”. I don’t think that’s fair; that seems to overlook the dragons and the samurai. If it looks dark to you, well, yeah; the film tracks a young woman being dragged off into an asylum to be lobotomised. As you can see [...]

• Priest Trailer – this was a vampire attack!

  Movies
  

  It seems to be a gamble turning any graphic novel into a film. Sometimes they get them so wrong. Sometimes they get it so right. What you can’t do is judge the film by the trailer. Rubbish trailers are made for great films. All too often, great trailers are made for poor films. That said; [...]

• Watch it before it’s yanked: Captain Jack Sparrow addresses Comic Con

  Movies
  

  Yup! That’s right. The marketing machine around Pirates of the Caribbean 4 – due out in 2011 – is impressive and in full source. Johnny Depp stars as Captain Jack Sparrow, in full costume and in full swing, in a “get involved” pitch to a happily amused Comic Con audience. You can tell it goes [...]

• Brad Pitt wins bidding war over zombie movie World War Z

  Books
  

  MTV have a good scoop on the future of Max Brooks‘ World War Z series. The author confirmed that Brad Pitt would be doing the movie. The rights to the novel had been in a bit of a bidding war between Plam B Entertainment (Brad Pitt’s company) and Appian Way (Leonardo DiCaprio‘s company). Judging from [...]

• Half-Life film: Beyond Black Mesa

  Movies
  

  Okay, for legal reasons, I think it’s best to call this a movie inspired by Half-Life. It’s a fan made production and isn’t official at all. However, it looks pretty darn good! They had a budget of $1,200. It’s taken two years to get this far. I don’t know about you but I’m already rooting [...]

• Empires of the Deep pictures

  Movies
  

  Since today is a fly to London day I’ve prepared a post to keep your attention. I thought atheletic people wearing very little clothes might do the trick. Since this is a geeky blog let’s make those people mermaids and brave aquatic warriors! These pictures are from the set of the 2011 movie Empires of [...]

• Pandora Machine’s Clone Hunter

  Movies
  

  Three months ago the trailer for Clone Hunter appeared on Vimeo. It’s one of those trailers that goes straight for the sci-fi fan levers, getting your interest quickly while doing a pretty good job at not looking low budget. For example, seconds into the video we know that in the future they’re growing clones for [...]
