Taken with an iPhone from the sidelines of the Burke and Hare filming shoot – nearly one glorious minute of heroes Pegg and Serkis running down a close in Edinburgh. You have to imagine there’s a great big barrel or similar rolling down behind them – that helps explain why there’s someone shouting “bounce, bounce!” […]

Lord of the Rings prequel: Born of Hope full length video
Born of Hope is a full length prequel to Lord of the Rings. It’s entirely fan made so let’s hope it has more support than the Nintendo (squashed) or Games Workshop (squashed) videos. Greatest of respect to uber-fan Kate Madison who spent her life savings to make this film. If you’re not certain you’ve the […]
The Na’vi’ people of Hometree Wisconsin
There’s LARP and then there’s LARP. The first, of course, is Live Action Role Playing and now we have Live AVATAR Role Playing. This timely mockumentary is worth a giggle. It doesn’t actually have much in common with LARP (except the set design budgets) as the actors in this short are playing people who feel […]
Centurion trailer: Picts versus Romans
Rome never did manage to conquor all of the British Isles. The northern half of Scotland remained the territory of the picts. Hadrian’s Wall is testament to this. Due out in April – that’s due out in the UK, and with a US release date not yet confirmed – is Centurion. This trailer looks so […]
Vin Disel will be Riddick in Riddick
I watched Pitch Black alone in a large, historic and very dark cinema. It’s the best way to watch the movie! Wow. I wasn’t at all surprised when Pitch Black went on to be a cult success. I wasn’t all that surprised when Chronicles of Riddick failed to wow. Rag Variety is reporting that Vin […]

Plastic Age Productions, a subsidiary of RPG publisher Aegis Studios, has slasher film Raymond Did It in preproduction. It will be the publisher’s first feature length film. Aegis Studios has been in the RPG market for about a decade; publishing the Contagion Modern Horror Roleplaying Game, an OGL Tabletop RPG set in a modern world […]
Space Battleship Yamato gets itself a poster
The live action of the oh-so-old anime Space Battleship Yamato has a shiny new poster to tease us with. I’m in mixed minds about the anime. It shows its age! The movie looks pretty impressive though. I wonder if there is any chance of it ever getting a UK release. Ever. If you’ve not seen […]
Akira live action pushes on with the Hughes Brothers
There have been loads of reports, attempts, whispers and moves on the Akira live action front over the year. Will we ever see it? We now know that Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus; some of the talent behind Iron Man and Children of Men, are writing/have written a new script. Vulture, New York’s Magazine is […]
M Night Shyamalan’s Last Airbender trailer
I’ve been following the build up to this movie for a while… and I have to say that it looks better with each snippet they show us. That’s their plan, though, huh? Anyway; check our the latest official trailer for M Night Shyamalan’s Last Airbender and judge for yourself.
And we shall know no fear! The Ultramarines wireframe test
Bob Thompson from Codex has been letting likely fans of Ultramarines, the forthcoming Games Workshop Warhammer 40K movie, preview some of the animation from Image Metrics. Image Metrics is a London based but Hollywood known animation studio. They’re involvement with the project is one of the many reasons to talke the Ultramarines movie seriously.
