Grab Your Graboids! Kevin Bacon Confirms A 'Tremors' Reboot For SyFy Is On With The Help Of Blumhouse

7/9/2017

0 Comments

 
​Can you fly, you sucker? This has to be one of my favorite lines from #Tremors—maybe from any movie. Kevin Bacon's Valentine McKee (what a name, right?) shouts it out when he drops his last bomb into the last Graboid's mouth, and watches in glee as the beast plummets to its death. As much as the first movie was its own cult phenomenon, McKee could also have said the same thing about the following sequels, the prequel and short-lived TV series, none of which ever lived up to the first movie. But for us die-hard Tremors fans, there's some good news.

7/9/2017

0 Comments

 
​The Isaac Asimov science fiction trilogy Foundation heavily informed Star Wars and many other sci-fi films and TV series, but for decades it has confounded Hollywood attempts at a straight adaptation. I’m hearing that Skydance, David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman are going to try to crack it. Skydance Television is closing a deal with the Asimov estate to try turning Foundation into a sprawling TV series.

3D Without Glasses?: 'Avatar 2' Will Debut New Projection Technology In 2019

7/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Whether you like it or not, James Cameron's 2009 epic Avatar was revolutionary in the evolution of 3D and name-brand recognition. It was a marvel that pushed the boundaries of motion capture, visual effects and the modern blockbuster. Though the 3D medium has fallen out of favor domestically, international audiences still rely heavily on 3D films. For example over 97 percent of those who saw The Last Knight in China experienced the film in 3D. Arguably, the popularity of 3D has never been higher.

6/22/2017

0 Comments

 
​Here’s a feature for the Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets movie (based on the French graphic novel series of the same name).
So, Luc Besson is a big comic-book fan? Well, which intelligent person isn’t, we ask.
For those who have never read these books, here’s the official blurb …
In the 28th century, Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are a team of special operatives charged with maintaining order throughout the human territories. Under assignment from the Minister of Defense, the two embark on a mission to the astonishing city of Alpha—an ever-expanding metropolis where species from all over the universe have converged over centuries to share knowledge, intelligence and cultures with each other. There is a mystery at the center of Alpha, a dark force which threatens the peaceful existence of the City of a Thousand Planets, and Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.

Into the Unknown: A Journey Through Science Fiction review – almost all non-human life is here

6/22/2017

0 Comments

 
The most brilliant definition of science fiction I know comes courtesy of the writer Brian Aldiss, who once described it as “hubris clobbered by nemesis”. At Into the Unknown, the Barbican’s ambitious new exploration of sci-fi’s vast realm, there is certainly hubris: the claims made for it – “unprecedented”, “genre-defying” – are nothing if not grand. But, alas, you’ll find no vengeful gods at work.

Neill Blomkamp’s own film production company, Oats Studios, has just released a rather interesting-looking free short science fiction film – an alien invasion-themed movie entitled Rakka. That’s Japanese for ‘fall’ – as in, humanity’s.
As you’d expect from the bloke that brought you District 9, Elysium and Chappie, it’s quite a beast!

Adam West, Straight-Faced Star of TV's 'Batman,' Dies at 88

6/12/2017

0 Comments

 
The actor struggled to find work after the campy superhero series was canceled, but he rebounded with voiceover gigs, including one as the mayor of Quahog on 'Family Guy.'
Adam West, the ardent actor who managed to keep his tongue in cheek while wearing the iconic cowl of the Caped Crusader on the classic 1960s series Batman, has died. He was 88.
West, who was at the pinnacle of pop culture after Batman debuted in January 1966, only to see his career fall victim to typecasting after the ABC show flamed out, died Friday night in Los Angeles after a short battle with leukemia, a family spokesperson said.
West died peacefully surrounded by his family and is survived by his wife Marcelle, six children, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Cymraeg is de taal in Wales, en Cthulhu spreekt natuurlijk voor zichzelf. In 2013 publiceerde Mark Howard Jones “Cthulhu Cymraeg – Lovecraftian Tales from Wales” bij Screaming Dreams in Cardiff, een mooi verzorgde paperback met 9 verhalen van auteurs zoals Rhys Hughes, Charles Black, Paul Lewis en andere, met een voorwoord door S.T. Joshi. Deze auteurs, allemaal van Wales, transporteerden de Cthulhu Mythos naar hun thuisstreek, met macabere of grappige gevolgen.

​In a very odd choice for a film that is clearly being made with a humorous tone, and touted as a kind of superhero buddy cop (i.e. comedy) film, Marvel has released a “new” international trailer for ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ that is basically a rehash of the trailer we already got here in the US, except they decided to cut out all of the jokes.
