Just in Time for Election Day, a Post-Apocalyptic Toronto in Pictures

Lo-fi scifi auteur Jim Munroe worked with three artists, Mathew Borrett, Terry Lau and Sanford Kong, to create these gorgeous images of a fallen Toronto. It’s just in time for the Canadian election, where notorious politician Rob Ford’s older brother Doug is currently polling pretty well in the Toronto mayoral race. Arachnid warning sign by…

Age of Ultron is the Greatest Love Story Ever Told thanks to Celine Dion

As if you needed more excuses to watch the trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron on loop this week, but here’s another one anyway: Turns out, the trailer goes pretty fantastically with more than just creepy Pinocchio songs. Avengers: My Ultron Will Go On, edited by Jack Martin of Martin Revelation Films, replaces Ultron’s spooky…

Just a badass two minute video of badass action scenes from movies

Oh, nothing to see here. Oh wait. Just kidding. There is everything to see here. This two minute clip of action scenes from MovieClips Trailers is so badass that I’ve watched it multiple times now. I can’t get enough. In fact, it has me hankering for an action movie so bad. Good thing John Wick…

What’s The Greatest Speech In Science Fiction And Fantasy History?

The best science fiction and fantasy stories capture our imaginations in all sorts of ways — with cool visuals, with neat ideas, with clever worldbuilding. But sometimes the most powerful thing of all can be just one person, speaking eloquently. What’s the greatest speech in any work of science fiction or fantasy? Please include a…

The Crappy Diagram That Reveals The Hobbit Trilogy’s Epic Final Battle

When The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies finally comes out on December 17th, its ending will be suitably epic. In fact, the titular battle will apparently last 45 minutes, and is so huge and complicated that director Peter Jackson had to diagram it out. However, this diagram isn’t quite as epic as the…

The Crow Remake To Start Filming In 2015

Luke Evans is still going to be the new Crow, and the brand new reboot will allegedly start filming in the Spring of 2015. But no one is asking the real questions, like do we need another Crow movie? And does anyone want another Crow? [via THR]

Lucasfilm Is Suing The Empire Brewing Company Over Its Bock Lager

A small brewery in upstate New York has incurred the wrath of the Star Wars franchise by naming one of its signature lagers, “Strikes Bock.” Lucasfilm has filed a “notice of opposition” against Empire Brewery, when it recently tried to trademark the beer. [Image: Photo by Frederik Herregods at frederikherregods.be] “We named it ‘Strikes Bock’…

WB/DC Actually Wants A Female Director For The Wonder Woman Movie

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. is looking specifically for a female director to take the reins of the solo Wonder Woman movie, currently due in 2017. Of course, there’s a problem in that there aren’t a ton of female directors out there, but that means giving a…

Ridiculous Modern Day Phantom Of The Opera Musical Coming To TV

From the creator of Desperate Housewives and Devious Maids comes a modern day Phantom of the Opera musical. Yes, Marc Cherry is making a Phantom TV show, and it could be the best-worst thing ever. THR is reporting that ABC has ordered a script from Cherry asking for a Nashville-like series, which means there will…

Whatever You Think of Edward Snowden, Go See Citizenfour Now

I have mixed feelings about Snowden. After spending more than a year reporting on the whistleblower patriot traitor spy skinny guy from North Carolina, I’ve gone from lauding his regard for American civil liberties to deeply distrusting his intentions and methods for exposing state secrets. But last night, I saw Citizenfour, a new documentary about…

New Trailer For Judge Dredd: Superfiend Is So Wonderfully Weird

Here is the longest Judge Dredd: Superfiend trailer yet, along with a lot of footage of Judge Death just going bananas on the citizens of Mega-City One. For those of you unaware, creator Adi Shankar, who introduces the trailer, made this unofficial “departure” of the Dredd world for fun, and we think it’s great. This…

The First Full Look At Ultron In All Of His Terrifying Robotic Glory

Care to see the first full-body shot of the foe of the second Avengers movie? Of course you do. Ultron’s torso and limbs are a bit overdesigned for my tastes, but it’s not like he’s a Bayformer or anything. Plus, he’s got some great gams for a robot bent on destroying all of humanity. H/t…

Man, the Original Star Wars Trilogy Was a Bloodbath

When I think back on watching Star Wars as a kid, I remember it as a pretty tame. After all, those stormtroopers had terrible aim. Turns out that maybe I’m misremembering. That original trilogy was kind of a bloodbath, and this supercut from Digg turns it into a tidy little 3-minute snuff film. Aside from…

I.Q. 83, Arthur Herzog’s Ode to the Stupidity Plague, Will Be a Movie

It’s taken 20 years to finally get some steam, but Charlie Kaufman’s been hired to do an entirely new draft and the plan is for Steve Carell to star. And you have to admit: Carell can totally pull off a man becoming progressively less intelligent. Andrew Lazar first brought the project to DreamWorks 20 years…

Insidious 3 Trailer Reminds Us That This Franchise Loves Jumps Scares

I loved Insidious, loved it. The second movie not so much, but thankfully Insidious 3 looks like more original Insidious. That means hold on to your fucking hats—JUMP SCARES ARE COMING.

After disappointing wolf zoot suits and panic over song cuts, Disney has finally released the very first footage of the most important part of their Into the Woods movie adaptation: people singing the songs from the musical. It’s just a taste, a tiny, tiny taste. But when Meryl Streep starts in with, “Stay with me…

Disney Made These Test Animations To Study The Characters In Big Hero 6

During the early development stages of their upcoming superhero movie Big Hero 6, Disney animators had to figure out how each of their main characters moved. So they made these test animations to study each character’s movements, and how those movements reflect their personality. The animators were given a deceptively simple task: have each of…
