Ridley Scott is directing the new Alien prequel

This is excellent news. The original Alien wrangler going back to the source and with todays technology. Should be something special methinks.

Variety are reporting that Twentieth Century Fox has hired Jon Spaihts to write a prequel that has Ridley Scott attached to return as director.

Spaihts got the job after pitching the studio and Scott Free (Isn't that the name of DC Comics Mr Miracle?), which will produce the film.

The film is set up to be a prequel to the groundbreaking 1979 film that Scott directed. It will precede that film, in which the crew of a commercial towing ship returning to Earth is awakened and sent to respond to a distress signal from a nearby planetoid. The crew discovers too late that the signal generated by an empty ship was meant to warn them.

The deal gives Fox another chance to keep the "Alien" franchise alive. There were three sequels to Scott's original, but it is the first time the director has set his mind on directing one.

Spaihts has become a go-to-guy for space thrillers. After Keanu Reeves became attached to his Warner Bros. sci-fi script "Shadow 19," Reeves hired Spaihts to write the space journey epic "Passengers," which is berthed at Morgan Creek. That script got Spaihts the meeting with Fox and Scott Free, and he won the job with an "Alien" reboot take that the studio and Scott loved.

How to you feel about the news?

Zombieland - New, unfinished trailer

A very cool trailer for the film. Watch it before it gets gone.

In the horror comedy Zombieland focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) is a big wuss -- but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) is an AK-totin', zombie-slayin' badass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces with Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

Ghostbusters - Did you know it was actually a film in 1954 starring Bob Hope?

An excellent trailer mash-up. You have to watch it.

What if...Ghostbusters, the movie, was shot in 1954 instead of 1984? Who should be part of the cast? Would they have the same equipment? Who would they battle? Considering Dan Aykroyd's concept owes a lot to Bob Hope, Abbott and Costello, and Lewis and Martin comedies of the 40s and 50s, it is not that big of a stretch to speculate.

Here's the recipe for the trailer:

Ghostbusters, The Three Stooges, Scared Stiff, Ghost Breakers, Topper Takes a Trip, The Ghost Busters, Abbott and Costello meet the Invisible Man, Star Trek, Ghosts on the Loose, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Spooks Run Wild, Flubber, Son of Flubber, The Caddy, 100 ans d'histoires de Bibendum

TRON LEGACY - Production Art - Looks amazing

Here is the first look at the title design for the TRON sequel. Below is some of the production art that was shown at Comic Con. We've got lightcycles, lightcars and lots more. Simply stunning.

I am assuming that the concept art was done by Daniel Simon as he was rumoured to be doing it back in February - check out that post for some more amazing artwork.

The trailer from last year has now been released in HD so have a look at the new light cycles in action. Stunning.






Second Generation Light Cycle: Designed in 1989 by Kevin Flynn and “rumor has it its still the fastest thing on the grid” It looks like an inbetween model in the evolution of light cycles, incorporating some of the look of the first film and the realness and slickness of the new design.
The Light Cycle: a much more evolved version of the light cycle which many saw in the trailer from last year’s con.
Light Runner, which is like a light cycle, but can hold 2 passengers. It is said to be very fast, and has the unique ability to go off the grid on its own power.

/film also had a description of a scene shown at Comic Con and it sounds pretty good. It is outside the computer world:

The scene involved Kevin’s son being told in voiceover that someone received a page from his father’s old office, which has been abandoned for over 20 years. Flynn’s son shows up on a motor cycle. Flynn’s arcade has been long abandoned. He opens the door to reveal a room full of arcade machines, all covered with sheets. He inspects the old shut down arcade, and it is clear no one has been here in ages. He switches on the power and all the arcades turn on, as does a jukebox, which is playing retro 1980’s music. He goes up stairs to Flynn’s old office, which also looks untouched, everything covered. The next shot was kinda magical. He walks down an isle of games which ends with the Tron arcade game. He uncovers it and we see the retro 80’s graphics. He sticks in a quarter but the machine rejects it. He pulls out the machine to take a look at the back, and discovers a secret door. He opens the door and enters the darkness. Cut to black.

De Día O De Noche (By Day or By Night) - Trailer for Mexican sci-fi

This sounds like an interesting sci-fi film. The excellent Quiet Earth people did it again.

This trailer is about 8 minutes long so more of a short visit to the film where half the population live by day and half by night. Looks very nice. Let me know what you thought of it.

The story happens in the future and shows us how Mexico has changed: since everything is handled differently, we are very controlled and uniform, we are all equal and there is no physical contact or emotion. The government keeps the people repressed.

Furthermore, as a result of an enzyme located in the DNA, half the people left in cataleptic state to leave the sun, while the other half awake. (This is roughly translated). [So I'm guessing half the people live by day, and the other half by night.] However, emotions have not completely disappeared, only being anesthetized by the way of life to which they have been subjected by the authorities. Also,one of the characters Aurora meets a young man who works in the same place as her, but at night, and they fall in love.

Star Wars - Video from 1976 showing the Millenium Falcon being built

David Berry posted a home movie reel shot during the construction and second-unit filming of Star Wars models (i.e., Millenium Falcon, Empire fighters) inside a San Fernando Valley warehouse in 1976.

So far it is not embeddable but it is well worth having a look at the early days of Star Wars, back when effects were built rather than rendered.

Thanks to Jeffrey Wells for pointing it out.

Deadpool will speak to you!

Great news for me and all other Deadpool fans. Ryan Reynolds says Deadpool will break the fourth wall.

“Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he’s got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall." Reynolds said while talking to Empire.

“The studio's working on a script and trying to find a director. The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material."

What did Reynolds think about the decapitated head at the end of X-Men Origins: Wolverine? “That we won’t speak of."

Sounds to me that Reynolds has got the right mindset for the film. I just hope it doesn't get ripped apart by the studio.
