We have an official image of the new Thundercats. It follows on the heels of a leaked image. The anime version (so suggests some official PR) will be coming to cartoon Network in the States. The rest of the world, hopefully, won’t be left out. Sam Register is the exec producer. He did Teen Titans, […]

Half-Life fan movie: Beyond Black Mesa
The fan made video Geek Native posted yesterday was Lazy Teenage Superheroes which was made with a budget of about $300. It was pretty good. There’s also the impressive Fallout fan film: Nuka Break. It’s a fan film festival! Imagine, then, what a fan made film with similar talent could do for $1,200. Beyond Black […]
Fan Film: Fallout: Nuka Break
This fan made film gets off to a great start – it asks kindly that no one sues. Then it gets even better as we flick out of quirky Fallout mode and flip to arhg-the-world-is-toast Fallout mode. It’s not an advert for COke. It’s an advert for Nuka Cola which we should all remember will […]
Red Dwarf coming back to TV; 6 new episodes
It looks like we’ll be lucky enough to get more Red Dwarf! When Dave commissioned the three-part Back to Earth TV special back in 2009 they had no budget but lots of fans. Turns out that the three episodes did really well. It beat both BBC 2 and Channel 4 in viewing figures when it […]
Lazy Teenage Superheroes
Here’s a video going viral that deserves to be famous. It’s called Lazy Teenage Superheroes and they say it had a budget of $300. If that’s right then the effects they achieve are pretty awesome. Michael Ashton also gets mega cook points for creating this, directing, editting and making the special effects. Ashton doesn’t star […]
Video interview: Sean Bean on playing Ned Stark in a Game of Thrones
The warning I give you is that this an MTV interview. Expect weird sound effects. The rest is common sense – Sean Bean read the books, loved it, saw the team who’d been working on the TV project and wanted to work with them. He finds himself drawn to the medieval style roles but welcomes […]
New Game of Thones trailer
Some of us in the UK might still be reeling from the news that there will be no Game of Thrones for us but HBO and Sky Atlantic viewers around the world will soon be able to watch this highly anticipated adaptation. HBO have published a new trailer for the series – called “The Game […]
Virgin Media customers to miss out on Game of Thrones
Update: In the UK Now TV offer contract free access to Game of Thrones. Sky are launching Sky Atlantic, a new channel, and sinking quite a bit of their famous advertising budget into it. Sky Atlantic will be the home of the HBO produced content that Sky’s splashed the cash to purchase. Trailers for the […]
DirecTV is Kryptonite, says superhero bashing DirecTV ad
Okay, I get the ad – DirecTV is so cool that even superheroes would rather watch it than fight crime. Clever, huh? No. Not for this geek. This ad just tells me that DirecTV is something the world would be better off without. DirecTV is something we need to overcome, something we need to fear […]
Bleach anime to be cancelled?
There’s growing concern that the popular Bleach anime will be cancelled. Rumours started when the Japanese rock group ROOKiEZ is PUNK’D published a blog post that said their song “Song for…” was a “fitting” end theme for Bleach anime’s final season. To make matters worse, ROOKiEZ is PUNK’D then deleted the post. The deletion, I […]
