What will the world be like when China is a global superpower?

In North America, it’s become almost a cliché in science fiction to turn Japan and Korea into superpowers of the future. From William Gibson’s first cyberpunk novel Neuromancer, to David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas (now a movie), we are bombarded with images of a hyper-futuristic world dominated culturally and economically by these Asian countries. And yet,…

Concept Art of the Original Monster Versions of Wreck-It Ralph

Now that Wreck-It Ralph has totally smashed the box office, it’s fascinating to stop and realize how different the movie’s video game villain could have looked. The other day, we posted an interview with star John C. Reilly, who explained that at various points, Ralph was going to be a caveman or a weird-looking alien…

There are only five days left to make a movie of Eric Powell’s fantastic comic book The Goon. That’s how long remains to the movie’s Kickstarter campaign. Only five days!

You never realized the full insanity of Pixar’s attention to detail

Check out an exclusive clip from the special features on the DVD and Blu-ray for Pixar’s “Scottish Princess” movie Brave, which comes out next week.

Travel back to Neo-Seoul with more “Cloud Atlas” concept art

Before Cloud Atlas kind of, sort of delighted us, we got a peek at a tumultuous version of the film’s futuristic Seoul. Concept artist Adam Kuczek shows off the more brightly colored side of Seoul, its neon centers of commerce and its glowing transportation systems. Kuczek created some of these images while the producers were…

Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Twilight Zone” movie will feature a time travel plot

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company has had a feature film adaptation of The Twilight Zone on the books for a while now, but its script hasn’t been spaceship-shape. Now that the film has a new screenwriter, details are emerging about a trip through time and space. Vulture reports that the script, which was handed…

Ridley Scott will make 6 low budget genre films in 3 years

Tongue-eating parasites and internet journalism are your worst nightmares in The Bay

The Bay was produced by the same people who made Sinister, and so I suppose it makes sense that both films are horror stories inspired by viral pictures on the web. While Sinister’s scary Mr. Boogie was based on a picture pulled from Flickr, the Big Bad in The Bay is modeled on a famous…

10 Black Characters in Science Fiction Who Survive Until the End

One of the unfortunate cliches of the science fiction genre is that black supporting characters often become cannon fodder before the first act is over. For every Captain Sisko there are dozens of black redshirts who meet their doom at the hands of prosthetic-headed aliens; and for every Will Smith hero there are hundreds of…

Wreck-It Ralph is the best video game movie since Last Starfighter

The history of video game movies is a pretty inglorious one, with a higher proportion of awfulness than almost any other genre, except maybe Rapture movies. There’s been Tron, there’s been Last Starfighter, and maybe one or two others. But given how much great storytelling there is in games, it’s weird that Hollywood has been…

The Spidey sequel has already cast Mary Jane Watson, they’re looking for a Harry Osborn, and everyone suspects the Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, will also be making an appearance, thanks to the post-credits jail scene in the first film.
