Aw Hell No! 2012 is coming..

With all the rehash blockbuster nonsense circling the drain this summer, with slightly wonky sequels in the form of terminator and transformers, at least you know you can always rely on Roland Emmerich to know how to f**k shit up. I mean seriously, look at the ludicrous work in this trailer for 2012 – granted this will almost definitely contain ALL the best bits of super CG destructo-vision from the film but by crikey there’s plenty of it. Michael Bay eat your heart out. No really, do, I think a lot of people would like that. kthxbye.

Sci-Fi Artwork Heaven

If you’re a fan of some of the classic artworks for novels, films and videogames you’ll absolutely love sci-fi-o-rama.com. Thanks to Simon for the heads up on this, i’m certainly not an expert on the subject in any way but I think Chris Foss’ work on Elite is incredible, as is most of the work to be found on the site. And I know its stating the obvious here but I really think its a shame this kind of artwork isn’t used as much today, its absolutely stunning, and I find it funny how it was used a lot when the graphical prowess of actual games and sci-fi films could not match the artwork, but now that they do, we simply stick cgi artwork on the box… shame! Anyway, this site rocks, so stop reading this and go enjoy!

If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It : Making of Predator

Cheers to Matt for discovering this excellent Making Of for Predator. I won’t lie to you, Predator is one of my all time favourite films, bringing together the expertise of the fantastic John McTiernan, the legendary Stan Winston, and an incredible ensemble cast of Schwarzenegger, Duke, Weathers, Ventura, Landham, and.. er.. you know, the other [...]

This amazing music video for a french duo called Zombie Zombie’s song ‘Driving this road until death sets you free’ is a massive stop-motion animated short film all done with GI Joe action figures, and by the looks of things a shedload of meticulous hard work.
The Zombie duo, Etienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neman, commissioned directors [...]
