Paul Bierker is a master of custom made rings and jewelry. Looking through this guy's work It's clear he does some amazing things, but I personally think that these Star Wars inspired R2-D2 wedding rings are his masterpiece. I don't think you will find a better R2-D2 themed wedding ring or bands. It's pretty impressive work, don't you think?
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford pose with director Patrick Hughes in this new photo from the set of The Expendables 3. I've got to say, it's really cool to see these two legendary actors starring in a movie together. The picture came with the following caption from Schwarznegger:
It was a fantastic first day of filming on Expendables 3. Great to work with Harrison and our director, Patrick.
The movie also stars Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Wesley Snipes, Victor Ortiz, Glen Powell, Antonio Banderas, and Mel Gibson.
In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.
The movie will arrive in theaters on August 15th, 2014.
We've got some interesting new plot details for Christopher Nolan's sci-fi thriller, Interstellar. Before we get into it, here's what we know so far from the short plot summary.
The story "chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage."
Now, thanks to the Fort Macleod Gazette we've learned that the story also deals with climate change.
Set in the future, the movie details the toll climate change has taken on agriculture, with corn the last crop to be cultivated.
The scientists embark on a journey through a worm hole into other dimensions in search of somewhere other crops can be grown.
It's an interesting concept, but I can't help but think there would be an easier way figure out how to grow crops than resorting to traveling through worm holes to other dimensions. What do you think about this new bit of plot information?
The movie stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, John Lithgow, Matt Damon, and Michael Caine, and it's set to hit theaters on November 7th, 2014.

My gaming backlog has gotten a bit smaller today. Last night, I wrapped up (finally) Assassin's Creed III, and this deserves a celebration for two reasons. 1: I finish games sure, but not as many as I would prefer, and 2: It was a damn good game. All this to say I now have an excuse to collect some of the best AC: III cosplay around the web and put it in one place for your enjoyment. Welcome to the cosplay brotherhood.

About a week ago it was reported that Bradley Cooper was in talks to join James Gunn's Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy, and today Marvel has announced that the actor is officially on board. I for one think it's a great choice! I can't wait to see what he brings to this insane rodent character.
Here's the announcement from Marvel:
Academy Award-nominated actor Bradley Cooper has officially joined the cast of Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy," lending his voice to the fan-favorite raccoon that will join Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Drax (Dave Bautista) on their epic adventure.
Cooper has previously starred in "Silver Linings Playbook," for which he was nominated for an Oscar®, "Limitless," "Place Beyond the Pines" and the "Hangover" trilogy, the latter of which has grossed $1.4 billion globally. He will next be seen in "American Hustle" which will reunite him with "Silver Linings Playbook" director David O. Russell. "Guardians of the Galaxy" will mark Cooper's first voiceover work.
In the far reaches of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an unlikely cast of characters including Peter Quill, Gamora, Drax, Groot and Rocket Raccoon must join forces to defeat a cosmic force of epic proportions. Directed by James Gunn, the live-action "Guardians of the Galaxy" will take fans to new corners of the Marvel Universe when it hits theaters August 1, 2014, but in the meantime stay tuned to Marvel.com for the latest news as it breaks, including official casting, first looks and more!
Exactly why the Ninja Turtles' Party Wagon is chasing The Mystery Machine is an answer only attainable by traveling deep into the recesses of Patton Oswalt's mind. Let's be honest, though. If the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles started hanging out with Scooby-Doo and the gang, all they'd do is eat pizza and get high… and definitely not in that order.
This nostalgia-inducing piece of geek art comes from Andry Shango. You may remember that we featured the artist's Superhero Father's (and Mother's) Day series earlier this year.
James Wan's Fast and Furious 7 is about to get a little more badass with the possible addition of Kurt Russell! There's no word on who he'll be playing, but according to Variety, Universal Pictures originally offered the part to Denzel Washington, who turned it down. It just shows you how big and important the role must be to the story.
As of right now there are no plot details for the movie, except that the story will return to Los Angeles after the previous five films were set in other locales.
Tony Jaa was also recently cast in the film and joins Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, and the rest of the usual suspects.
If Russell ends up being cast he'll make a badass addition to the movie!
Here's the first trailer for a coming-of-age drama called Palo Alto, which stars James Franco and Emma Roberts. The movie was written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola's granddaughter Gia Coppola, and this is her first film. All I can say is it must be nice to be a Coppola. Not only does Franco star in the film, but it's actually based on a collection of short stories that he wrote. The movie looks decent, and here's a short synopsis.
Welcome to the Bizarro John Hughes world; this is a suburban-teen comedy gone all wrong. The kids know everything about sex, substances and suicide, but can’t begin to figure out how or what they feel. Emma Roberts leads an unforgettable cast that includes Franco, 17-year-old Jack Kilmer (his father Val plays a supporting role) and Colleen Camp.
The movie also stars Nat Wolff, Jack Kilmer, and Val Kilmer. As of right now there is no U.S. distributor, but it has screened at the Telluride film festival.
Check out this incredibly cool piece of fan art that mashes together the worlds of Star Wars and Game of Thrones. It was created by JB Casacop, and it features Darth Khal-Drogo. Here's what the artist had to say about the print.
Dark lord of the Khalasar. I'm a fan of Star Wars. I'm also a fan of Game of Thrones. I couldn't decide which one I was going to make fan art of so I thought of doing both! Here's our favorite Dothraki depicted as a sith. This is the first of my Star Wars: The Throne Wars series. I shall make use of my spare time to make more of these!

We've got a new video featurette for Batman: Arkham Origins for you to check out today, and it gives us a really cool and interesting behind the scenes look at the motion capture work that was done to help create the game. I knew they did stuff like this for video games these days, but I've never seen how it's really done... Now we know!
Developed by Warner Bros. Games Montreal, Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline occurring several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City's most dangerous villains and assassins, the game showcases a young, raw, unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, witness identities being formed and key relationships being forged.
The game will be available for the Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC on October 25th, 2013.
Lionsgate has revealed the full "Victors" banner from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire featuring the characters who will be fighting each other to the death in the 75th Annual Hunger Games. I'm looking forward to seeing that.
The movie begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever.
The film will be released on November 22nd.
Thanks to Addictomovie for the heads up!
Artist Olly Moss created this great poster design for one of the greatest "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween Simpsons episodes ever... The Shinning.
If you were wondering what you had to do to look more like a superhero or supervillain, the answer lies in these motion covers for Empire: stand in the rain looking like a badass. Either that or look like Chris Hemsworth or Tom Hiddleston. The latter is a bit harder to pull off.
Summer is coming to a close, but we have some great fall movies to look forward to. Thor: The Dark World is definitely at the top of that list for me. The hype train has left the station, and we're just gonna see more and more from this film. Hopefully we're not burnt out by the time this sequel hits theaters on November 8th.

Here's our first look at Colin Firth in the film Devil's Knot, which is based on the true story of the West Memphis 3.
Here's a little background information on the story for those of you not familiar. Back in 1993, Damien Echols, 36, Jason Baldwin, 34, and Jessie Misskelley, 36 were wrongly convicted for the May 1993 killings of three 8-year-old boys from West Memphis, Ark. After 18 years they were finally released from prison.
Firth will play Ron Lax, "a private investigator who was the first pro bono supporter of the defendents as they headed to trial in 1993. Lax built one of the most prominent private investigative firms in the Southeast, and offered his services for free to the defendants, who at the time were reviled because of the heinous nature of the crime and the sensationalized reports about devil worship and ritualistic sacrifice. All of that was later proven to be unfounded, after Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley were convicted despite not a shred of physical evidence. Lax was an unsung hero and helped find the DNA in the knots that bound one of the victims, that cast suspicion on Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of Steven Branch, one of the 8-year old murdered boys."
The movie is being directed by Atom Egoyan from a screenplay by Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman (The Exorcism of Emily Rose). The script is based on investigative reporter Mara Leveritt's 2003 book Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three.

Not all Kaiju come from deep in the Pacific to level buildings and wipe out populations… some come from vending machines and just want to explore a little.
"Little Kaiju" follows a mysterious creature who emerges from a shadowy alleyway and embarks on a journey through the streets of Tokyo. The cute design and child-like curiosity of the "little monster" in this short are beautifully contrasted against Tokyo's dark alleyways and bright neon lights. There isn't really a story to follow, but be sure to watch until the very end.
The short was written and directed by Jonathan and Josh Baker (a.k.a. TWiN) and stars Tei Ryushin.
If you're a bank teller and your bank isn't near a geek convention or Universal Studios, this is the moment where you fake a Spanish accent and tell everybody you're gonna go take a siesta.
Created by CG artist ZhiPeng Song, the piece is titled "Next, Please. Next, Please. Next, Please. Next, Please. Next, Please." You can see some of his early character renderings here.
Sandra Bullock is looking completely terrified in this new poster for Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity, and for good reason! She's freakin' spinning off into the dark abyss of space with no hope of getting back to earth.
The film has been getting insanely good reviews. Given that the movie has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it's safe to say that everyone who has seen it has loved it, so we have something to look forward to!
The movie comes out on October 4th!
In this low-poly 3D short, the only thing standing in the way of an athlete's race through central London to light the Olympic torch are the very Gods of Olympus themselves.
Olympians is filled with exciting visuals and fantastic character designs. The only warning I'd give is to those who get easily motion sick as there is a lot of "camera shake" in it.
The short was created by Matt Ratcliffe and Karl Maddix with music and sound by Ben Brannan.
Here's another great piece of X-Men variant art from Skottie Young called "No Boys Allowed." It features all of the female X-Men characters protecting their tree house.
Not long from now we'll get to see Riddick back in action as he teams up with a group of intergalactic mercenaries to take on a horde of blood-thirsty alien creatures on a hostile planet. The latest behind the scenes video focuses on the hostile environment of that planet.
The movie come out September 6th, 2013!
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.
