Having the Infinity War in your backyard

Short film: The Lord Inquisitor
This film by Erasmus Brosdau is a labour of Warhammer 40K love. A few seconds into the short and you’ll see why its impressive. What we have is the first 8 minutes of a larger film called “The Lord Inquisitor”. Frankly, I think that Inquisitor is a bit of a sadist. This isn’t the first […]

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter serves up a chunky trailer
You’re probably not watching Res Evil for the plot… but just in case then be aware that this trailer serves up most of it. When is Resident Evil: The Final Chapter due out? Good question. In the US the film will be out in late January but it’ll be delayed for a whole month for […]
Zoom’s trailer shows a different type of comic book movie
What would happen if a multi-dimensional interface linked a comic book author, a novelist and a film director? Each would live in their own reality but would author the story about the other. Starring Gael García Bernal, Alison Pill, and Mariana Ximenes the indie movie will hit screens and iTunes.
