Red-Band Trailer for Zombeavers
7 hours ago
Here's a ridiculously funny trailer for a silly movie called Zombeavers. And yes, it involves zombie beavers! There's really not much I can say about this trailer that will do it justice. This is one of those things you have to see to believe, and I know you'll get a laugh out of it.
From the producers of Cabin Fever, The Ring, We’Re The Millers, and American Pie. Three college girls go on a care-free vacation of drinking games, topless sunbathing, and sexual exploration. Their frolicking fun comes to an abrupt end when toxic zombie beavers try to Eat Them.
Thanks to FilmDrunk for the trailer!

FX Adapting Sci-Fi Comedy Novel Redshirts as Series
9 hours ago
FX is set to develop a new sci-fi comedy series based on an amazing sounding book called Redshirts by John Scalzi. The book is the 2013 Hugo Award winner, and the plan is to turn it into a limited series.
The story is set in the 25th century, and it "follows the adventures of five new recruits on the Starship Intrepid who come to realize that the ship’s crewmembers are dying at an alarming rate. Their investigation leads to the mind-bending discovery that a science fiction television show, produced in the early 21st century, has somehow 'intruded' upon their reality and 'warped' it. In other words, the lives of the crew are following the course of a television narrative over which they have no control."
I haven't read the book, but I have to say it sounds pretty freakin' amazing! I can't help but think that is is going to make for an incredible series. »

Nazis Vs Experimental Suit in WWII Short - Project Arbiter
10 hours ago
Here's an awesome short film for you to check out called "Project Arbiter." The story is set during World War II and follows a solider in an experimental suit fighting off an army of Nazis. It has a cool, sci-fi, steampunk feel to it, and the action is done extremely well. I also thought the cinematography was really great. Here's the synopsis:
1943. Thousands of feet above Northern Europe a small plane carries a skeleton crew of the Allies best, including special operative captain Joseph Colburn. His handler, major Thomas Hardy does a final review of the mission's grim intel: infiltrate a mysterious villa on the Polish border and uncover its secrets. Colburn emerges donning a prototype suit, which can temporarily render its user invisible. As the plane's bay doors howl open Colburn begins to put on the skull-faced helmet when the plane is rocked by an anti-aircraft shell. Rapidly losing air pressure and altitude, »

Four Clips from Paul W.S. Anderson’s Pompeii
11 hours ago
Here are four clips from Paul W.S. Anderson's disastrous adventure film Pompeii. A couple of the clips show off some of the action that you'll see in the film, including a gladiator battle and volcanic destruction. There doesn't seem to be a lot of excitement for the film, which is perfectly understandable, as it looks awful.
The movie stars Kit Harington, Emily Browning, Kiefer Sutherland, Jared Harris, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Carrie-Anne Moss.
Set in 79 A.D., Pompeii tells the epic story of Milo (Harington), a slave turned invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia (Browning), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts in a torrent of blazing lava, Milo must fight his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him. »

Doctor Who - Time Lord Comics T-Shirt Art
12 hours ago
This awesome Doctor Who t-shirt art features the latest regeneration from Matt Smith's 11th Doctor to Peter Capaldi’s 12th Doctor. It's presented in a fun comic book form called Time Lord Comics. The design comes from Creative Outpouring, and it's available on Red Bubble.
If the art looks familiar, that's because there is similar set-up that was done years ago when Batman introduced Robin. I included that cover for comparison below.

Johnny Depp Confirmed for Black Mass, Tom Hardy in Talks
14 hours ago
Johnny Depp is confirmed to star in the Whitey Bulger mob film Black Mass. He was attached to the project last year, but was reported to have dropped out of the project. He got interested again when Scott Cooper came on board to direct it, and now it's official. Depp will play Bulger in the movie, and Tom Hardy is in early talks to play his FBI handler, John Connolly.
The story revolves around the ruthless Boston kingpin who inspired movie characters such as the one Jack Nicholson played in The Departed and the one Pete Postlethwaite played in The Town. The movie is based on the 2001 Dick Lehr/Gerald O’Neill New York Times bestseller Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob.
Bulger was also an FBI informant so he could help discreetly take down a rival gang. In the end, »

It's going to be a very long time before we see an actual trailer for Star Wars: Episode VII. In the meantime, I'm sure we're going to see lots fan-made trailers for the movie. It was created by YouTuber Mr88668866, and it uses footage from a ton of different sci-fi films and Star Wars video games. We can only hope the movie J.J. Abrams is developing ends up looking as good as some of the scenes in this trailer.

Will Smith Passes on Independence Day 2
7 February 2014 4:30 PM, PST
Just in case you were still wondering if Will Smith was going to be in Independence Day 2, the answer is no. Director Roland Emmerich and co-writer and producer Dean Devlin have been developing the sequel for a few years, and now it looks like the people of Earth will have to battle the aliens without Smith.
According to Deadline, "Smith informed the studio that he won’t be joining in on a sequel that the filmmakers hope to have in theaters for July 4th weekend, 2016."
Emmerich was prepared for this, and he had James Vanderbilt write two scripts, one of "which takes the battle to the aliens without [Smith's] cocky hero fighter pilot Captain Steven Hiller." So there's still a chance that the sequel will happen, and I really hope it does! I think it could be just as fun without Smith involved. I also think the movie would be just as successful. »

Photos from New Walt Disney Movie Walt Before Mickey
7 February 2014 3:30 PM, PST
We've got a few photos from a new movie that focuses on Walt Disney called Walt Before Mickey. This is the first time I've heard of the film, but it's in the middle of production, and it stars Thomas Ian Nicholas (American Pie) as Walt, Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) as his brother Roy, Disney alum David Henrie as an animator, and Jodie Sweetin (Full House) as Charlotte Disney.
This is an independent film being directed by Ari Taub, and it's based on a book by Timothy S. Susaninthat. The movie is set from 1919-1928, so it chronicles the life of Walt up to the point when Mickey Mouse was introduced to the world. The photos come from the film's Facebook page via: /Film.
Here's a full description of the book that the film is based on:
For ten years before the creation of Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney struggled with, failed at, »

Rob Cohen to Direct the Heist Thriller Risk
7 February 2014 2:30 PM, PST
The Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen has signed on to direct an action heist thriller called Risk. According to the report, the film blends psychological suspense and action, and the story follows "a brilliant thief who is released early from prison to execute a nearly impossible art heist." Cohen had this to say in a statement:
“I’ve always wanted to make a sophisticated caper/thriller in the style of ‘Topkapi,’ ‘To Catch A Thief’ and ‘The Hot Rock,’ with smart characters and sexy European backgrounds. When I read the script of ‘Risk’, I knew this was it.”
The movie is scheduled to go into production this summer, and it sounds like it could be a really cool movie. »

Wacky Full Length Robocop Remake Spoof
7 February 2014 2:00 PM, PST
The new RoboCop reboot hits theaters later this month, but before you watch it you can check out another RoboCop remake made by fans of the original movie. It's a crowdsourced film that entertainingly spoofs each scene in the original Paul Verhoeven-directed film.
Our RoboCop Remake is a crowd-sourced film project based on the 1987 Paul Verhoeven classic. We are a group of filmmakers and RoboCop fans who have split the original film into 60 pieces and have remade the movie ourselves. Not necessarily a shot-for-shot remake, but a scene-for-scene retelling.
More than 50 individual groups of filmmakers contributed scenes, and they used animation, puppets, live-action, and whatever other kinds of special effects they could pull together.
Before you watch it I should warn you… it's Nsfw! Thanks to io9 for the heads up!

Earth To Echo Sci-Fi Film Release Pushed to Summer
7 February 2014 1:30 PM, PST
About a month ago we were surprised with an incredibly fun-looking new sci-fi film called Earth to Echo. The found footage film was supposed to be released on April 24h, 2014, but according to Erc, Relativity has pushed that date to July. The studio must have a lot of confidence in the film to give it a summer release date.
The movie seems to have a kind of '80s Amblin magical feel to it, like The Goonies, E.T., Explorers, and even J.J. Abrams' Super 8. Here's the synopsis for the movie,
After a construction project begins digging in their neighborhood, best friends Tuck, Munch and Alex inexplicably begin to receive strange, encoded messages on their cell phones. Convinced something bigger is going on, they go to their parents and the authorities. When everyone around them refuses to take the messages seriously, the three embark on a secret adventure to »

Jason Statham to Reprise His Role in The Mechanic 2
7 February 2014 12:30 PM, PST
Action star Jason Statham is set to reprise his role as Arthur Bishop in The Mechanic 2. The character is an "elite assassin with a talent for cleanly killing targets, often making it look like an accidental death and with a strict code of conduct."
THR is also reporting that German director Dennis Gansel (The Wave) is in talks to direct it. I'm not really that familiar with his work. The first film came from Expendables 2 director Simon West and co-starred Ben Foster. Foster is unlikely to reprise his role, because (Spoiler!) he died in the first one.
I liked the first movie. I didn't think it was a film we'd see a sequel to, but as long as they are making it I might as well watch it. »

Philip Seymour Hoffman's Role in The Hunger Games Will Be Completed Digitally
7 February 2014 12:15 PM, PST
Via: The New York Post
It seems like the producers of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 have decided to honor the memory of Philip Seymour Hoffman by recreating the actor digitally to complete one major scene in the film.
There's an inside source who previously told THR the digital recreation was likely, saying, “You can do digital things, you can have conversations where you’re not focusing on him but the people he’s talking to.”
If they feel they can make this work, it would be great. I have no problems with the filmmakers recreating the actor digitally to finish a project that he and the rest of the film crew worked so hard on.
The movie is set to be released on November 20th, 2015, and it will be Hoffman's final performance. »

Snowpiercer Will Get an Uncut Limited Release
7 February 2014 11:30 AM, PST
Via: Deadline
We've been reporting on director Bong Joon-Ho's post apocalyptic thriller Snowpiercer for a long time, and in all that time it never has been given a release date. There's been a bit of drama surrounding the film. Basically, the Weinstein's bought U.S. rights to the film back in 2012 based on a script and and some test footage. The deal that they made included a wide release, but the director turned in a film that was over two and half hours long, and the director wasn't willing to edit it down. So the Weinstein's didn't want to release it.
The two parties recently came to an agreement though, and we will actually get to see this movie in theaters! Basically the director keeps the length and cut of his movie, but instead of a wide release, it will be a limited release with a roll out.
The film stars Chris Evans, »

Women of DC's Animated Universe Voice Impressions
7 February 2014 11:00 AM, PST
As much as I love Marvel, I have to admit that DC has an awesome collection of female characters. Over the years, it's been great seeing these characters brought to life in animated projects. Here's a video from YouTuber Brizzy Voices who does some spot on voice impressions of these characters.
I've got nothing against Marvel, but I Love DC comics and animation. So here's my little tribute to the top women of the DC Universe animation (tv, movies, and videogames). Special thanks to Andrea Romano, who casted and/or voice directed the majority of the performances that I imitate in this video! She's incredible and if you've never heard of her, Google Her Stat! Your jaw will drop when you see all the amazing things she's done.
