The Rocketeer returns to the skies for a Disney reboot

Disney is hot to bring back the bronze-headed hero The Rocketeer. Vulture is reporting that the 1930s matinee hero homage and his trusty jetpack are being reexamined by Disney for a potential reboot. And with Iron Man and all the superhero hullabaloo, it’s no wonder the studio is hot for this flick. Plus, the success…

The NeverEnding Story, told in tattoo form

Did you ever wish to convey the entire plot of 1980s fantasy flick The NeverEnding Story on your arm? Such was the inclination of a woman named Samelina, who recruited Roger Axelsson of Evil Eye Tattoo in Stockholm, Sweden to give her a sleeve depicting characters like Gmork, Morla, and the Rock-Biter.

Robot and Frank: Science Fiction at its Absolute Best

The best science fiction is usually about our relationship with technology in some way — how technology changes us, and how we shape it, in turn. But it’s rare for science fiction movies to have something interesting to say about technological and scientific progress. That’s why Robot and Frank isn’t just one of the year’s…

John Travolta to star in the new Toxic Avenger movie?

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about Steve Pink’s remake of the Troma classic The Toxic Avenger, but the latest batch of news is a total shocker. Rumor has it John Travolta is attached to the movie, and folks are speculating that Travolta is lined up to play Toxie himself. Whoa. The industry…

And now, two Chewbaccas lounging with six bikini Leias by the pool

We’re only ten days away from Dragon*Con 2012, so here’s a particular amusing snapshot from Dragon*Con 2011 to get you jazzed. Photographer Ethan Trewhitt captured this curious scene of two Wookiees flanked by a bevy of Princess Organas. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that there were actually nine Leias on deck that day.…

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1996 would include Dana Scully and Zack Morris

This is bloody hilarious. Davinder Brar, Chris Bird (of the website Mighty God King), and Andrew Wheeler have taken Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s fictional superteam conceit and applied it to the 1990s. Who would be a member of the Nineties League? Chow Yun-Fat from John Woo’s Hard Boiled, the evil girl from The Craft,…

Glasses-Free 3D Movies Might Make 3D Movies Slightly Less Terrible Soon

Glasses-free 3D: eventually someone is going to get this right, and researchers in South Korea are well on their way, which means eventually we might be able to go to a 3D movie without having to wear those dorky, uncomfortable glasses.

The Avengers gag reel assembles a lot of laughs

Things we learned from The Avengers gag reel: Joss Whedon is excellent at breaking up fights, Captain America is adorable, Loki is the master of many voices, and Hawkeye doesn’t know beans about Star Trek. Taken from the soon-to-be-released Avengers DVD, this might actually be the most hilarious bloopers footage we’ve ever seen. EDIT: Video…

From Russia, a flying model of the Helicarrier from The Avengers

We previously saw Russian quadrotor hobbyist Native118‘s take on the DeLorean from Back to The Future: Part II. Now, check out his models of both the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier from The Avengers and the Hunter-Killer Aerials from the Terminator films.

Is this the new author of the I Am Number Four sequels?

Officially, the bestselling novel I Am Number Four and its sequels are the work of Pittacus Lore, an elder of the endangered Lorien civilization. Unofficially, they’re the creation of Million Little Pieces author James Frey, and his “fiction factory.” But who’s actually been writing the books since the original author, Jobie Hughes, left? Apparently, it’s…
