But if it did happen, this is what it would look like:
If you don’t know what Battle: Los Angeles is yet, here’s a quick summary: Aliens invade and blow up everything. I read the script a few months ago and it’s non-stop running, fighting, and out of control alien invasion on a level you’ve never seen before… but probably should have seen in Spielberg’s War of the Worlds remake if he’d done it right. He didn’t, so here’s Hollywood’s second chance and getting rampant alien destruction right.
To get the promotional wheels spinning Sony has posted posters like this one around San Diego where Comic Con 2010 is getting going: read this entry »
Hayden Panettiere is the kind of girl that only a geeks would obsess over. In any other circle she’d be considered average at best, but because she was on Heroes, nerds have elevated her to the status of uber-babe. I don’t get it. Personally I’ve always thought she looks like Rebecca from Disney’s Tailspin.
But now Heroes is cancelled and Hayden needs a job. Or she did. It looks like she’s found one, in which she stands in naked in front of a camera and douses herself in champagne. Enjoy my nerdy friends: read this entry »
First it was Prawns, now Johnassberg, South Africa is being invaded by soccer fans. I’m honestly not sure which is worse.
If you’re a Tron fan, then you’ll want to play this:
As described by TIFR:
The Bacon AT-AT stands 3 ft tall and is made with over 40 lbs of bacon. The body was made from foam, then the bacon was attached. This beast took 21 non-stop hours to build. If you’ve ever once thought to cook 40 lbs of bacon in your kitchen in one sitting, I can now personally advise against it.
I’m not really sure what’s going on in this new short, science fiction film by Carl Erik Rinsch, but from a purely technological standpoint it’s stunning. He seamlessly integrates computer generated, sci-fi elements into a live action environment proving yet again why CGI’s always better when combined with, not in place of, live action. Watch it, it’s hard not to think of Neil Blomkamp’s Alive in Joburg, the short film which inspired District 9.
It’s part of a short film project being funded by Phillips, which also explains why you’ll be forced to watch it through an annoying television frame. It’s worth the trouble. It’s one of 5 shorts funded by the television company, each filmmaker tackling 5 different genres. But this is the one to watch: read this entry »
If you’ve been inside an NBA arena recently, you know they’ve gotten pretty creative with their in-game entertainment. In particular, the Dallas Mavericks are legendary for their ability to think outside the box. Recently they’ve begun creating a series of parody videos featuring the team’s players, for broadcast during the games. But this goes beyond parody to take it to an entirely new level.
The Dallas Mavericks have remade the Tron: Legacy trailer featuring Dirk Nowitzki. This is more than just photoshopping his face onto a character, they’ve redone the whole lightcycle scene to make it Dallas Mavericks themed. It’s flat out impressive. Take a look: read this entry »
Disney took Tron: Legacy to San Francisco’s WonderCon where they staged a huge, huge viral event in the form of an Encom press conference. Bruce Boxleitner was there to speak, in character as Alan Bradley and so was Garrett Hedlund in character as Sam Flynn, to do a little parachuting.
See it all in the following videos just released by the Tron: Legacy viral site Flynn Lives. read this entry »
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… sort of. Hollywood tried and failed to make a movie out of Halo a few years ago, and no matter how much we’d all love to see Master Chief up there on the big screen kicking ass, it’s been dead in the water ever since. But as much as it sucks not to have a Halo movie out there, it could always be worse. They could have made the movie this way: read this entry »
