Sariel's custom LEGO Technic creations created an awesome trilogy of motorized R/C LEGO Batman vehicles based on Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. The vehicles include the Tumbler, The Bat, and the Batpod. A lot of work went into these to make them function, but they look incredibly cool, and they have all kinds of great little details. You can watch them in action in the three videos below!
As you know, Bill Murray has never really been excited about returning to the Ghostbusters franchise. A third film has been brewing for years, and Murray isn't going to be a part of it. In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, the rumor that Bridesmaids director Paul Feig will helm an all female Ghostbusters film was brought up with the actor, and it seems like Murray is excited about the possibility:
"It sounds great to me. It sounds as good an idea as any other! There are a lot of women that could scare off any kind of vapor! No, it’s a grand idea, I don't know who they're talking about, but it's a good idea, I would watch it! I mean, I love Robert Palmer's videos, so why wouldn't I love the female Ghostbusters?"
Murray is such a cool guy and an amazing comedic actor. It's great to see that he supports at least this rumored idea for the movie, but he still probably wouldn't be in it if they asked him to! I think an all female Ghostbusters film could be fun, but I'll be honest… a Ghostbusters movie without Dr. Peter Venkman just would feel like a Ghostbusters movie.

I came across an energetic and fun grindhouse style short that pays homage to the zombie films of the 1980s. The film is called Buck Savage In: The City of the Damned, and it centers on Mountain Man, Buck Savage, who fights to reclaim the city that he once called home from the plague of the walking dead. The short was directed by Uke Doiron and Derek R. Brigham for Through the Door LLC, and even though it's a little rough around the edges, it's still worth watching because the short's lead, Rick Dalton, is awesome.
An intense new full trailer has been released for The Walking Dead Season 5. It's called "Never Let Your Guard Down." It shows off some great footage from the series and includes Rick talking to Carl about how no matter what he's not safe and that he can never let his guard down. This season looks spectacular! It's set to be premiere on October 12th on AMC.
I'm ridiculously excited for David Ayer's upcoming World War II film Fury because it looks like a freakin' incredible movie! We have a new international trailer for the film for you to watch, and it's packed with some amazing and intense footage. I think Fury will end up being the best film of Ayer's career so far.
The film stars Brad Pitt plays a soldier named "Wardaddy," and he's joined by Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Scott Eastwood, Jon Bernthal, Xavier Samuel, and Michael Peña.
They actors portray "a crew of Americans who embark on a brave mission. As the Allies make their final push, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany."
The movie will be released in theaters on November 14th! I just want to watch it now. I love movies like this.
Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter stars in a new horror movie called The Devil's Hand. The story centers on six young Amish girls who are accused of being "Satan's children" because they were a born on the sixth day of the sixth month. Since they have the 666 factor working against them, they must fight for their lives when their devout community elders insist they be "cleansed" before turning 18.
I'm not expecting this to be an amazing film, but I hope it will at least provide some fun and creepy entertainment. Here's the official synopsis:
When six girls are born on the sixth day of the sixth month to different mothers in the small, devout village of New Bethlehem an ancient prophecy is set in motion -- on their 18th birthday one of the girls will become the Devil’s Hand. As the day approaches and one by one the young women begin to disappear, terror overtakes the quiet community and those remaining girls band together to uncover who or what is behind these treacherous acts.
The film was directed by Christian E. Chirstiansen and also stars Rufus Sewell and Alycia Debnam Carey. It will be released by Roadside Attractions on VOD and theaters October 10th.
Artist Mike S. Miller has taken three pieces of classic Calvin & Hobbes art and out Rocket Raccoon and Groot in the place of the two classic comic characters. The two Guardians of the Galaxy team members look like they fit perfectly in the world of Calvin & Hobbes.

Some SPOILER filled details have leaked out from someone who claims to have read the second draft of the script for Star Wars: Episode VII. We will treat the following information as rumor for now, but Latino-Review has been sitting on this information for awhile. The only reason they released it now is because some of the details have been reported by several other news outlets, which led them to believe that there was some truth behind it.
Some of the info here is stuff we've already reported on, so this helps confirm those rumors, and then there is new information that have some massive SPOILERS. So you know what to do if you don't want anything spoiled for you… Bye!
In case you've decided to stick around for some spoiler-filled fun, here's "Mizzlewump's" list of information!
- Leia is made leader of the Republic after her predecessor's death
- Han is a retired veteran of the Republic fleet
- Luke hasn't been seen in nearly 30 years
- the lead character is Han and Leia's daughter
- the other lead is the child of Lando, and either a male or female depending on who is cast
- the other lead is a Stormtrooper, also either a male or female depending on who is cast
- dialogue for these two characters is very rough in the second draft
- Luke has no known offspring
- The Empire still exists in the form of a number of loyal galaxies and are in a state of cold war with the Republic
- The Empire is simply referred to as the "Empire," and the Republic is referred to formally only once, as the "Galactic Republic;" no "New" anywhere
- There are no Jedi whatsoever, and people still speak as if they are extinct, with Luke being "the last of his kind"
- The main antagonists are an older student of the Emperor, and his apprentice
- The apprentice takes control of the power dynamic between the two pretty quickly...
- The Republic are excavating ruins on a neutral world for a weapon; the world factors into tense negotiations the Empire have had with the Republic, and is referred to as the "Sith Homeworld"
- Loredump: In the script, the Sith are a couple thousand years old, founded by an ancestor of Palpatine called Ruin; the apprentice in this film also goes by that name
-The ruins within the Sith Homeworld are a control station; the planet itself is the weapon
- Luke saves the day at the end, but in a bad way; he has changed."
There's a strong possibility that Lando's kid could be played by Lupita Nyong'o. We've previously heard that Daisy Ridley is playing the daughter of Han and Leia, and that John Boyega is rumored to be playing the Stormtrooper. I can't help but think that Adam Driver will play the Emperor's older student and that Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie could be his apprentice. I'm just speculating, but regardless of who is cast in which role, I'm sure that this is going to be an awesome movie!
TiVo is a tragic story of the best tech losing out due to market forces and its inability to properly market their own product. Taking a cue from the luxury car market, TiVo is now positioning itself as a luxury DVR.
TiVo has announced a gigantic 24TB called the "Mega," and it is basically an expanded version of their TiVo Roamio Pro.
TiVo Mega Features:
All of this can be yours for the insane price of $5,000. Obviously, this is ultra high-end and out of the reach of most people. TiVo could do really well in the high-end with its higher margins and early adopters.
Tivo Mega will be available in the first half of 2015. Source: TiVo via Tech Hive.
We've already seen a few fan-made Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailers since the movie was announced, but now we have another one to add to the collection. This is actually one of the better ones that I've seen, which is why I posted it. YouTuber Zelenks is the guy who created it, and it's an effectively cut trailer that I think you'll like.
A couple of weeks ago we learned that Steven Spielberg was developing a new sci-fi TV series based on his awesome film Minority Report. We've learned that the series has landed at FOX, and we have a few other details to share with you about the story.
According to THR, the series takes place "10 years after the end of Precrime in D.C. when one of the three Precogs struggles to lead a 'normal' human life but remains haunted by visions of the future. He meets a detective haunted by her past who just may help him find a purpose to his gift."
Godzilla's Max Borenstein will write the script for the series and executive produce it. This franchise is loosely based on Philip K. Dick's short story, and I think this has the potential to be a really cool series. I'm excited to see what becomes of it!
Are you ready to get your first real glimpse at FX's American Horror Story: Freak Show?! A full minute long trailer has been released that introduces viewers to several of the key characters in the story. Those characters include Effel Darling (Kathy Bates), the bearded lady; Wendell del Tolito (Michael Chiklis), the strongman; Desiree Dupree (Angela Bassett), the three-breasted woman; Jimmy Darling (Evan Peters), Effel’s son who appears to have webbed hands; Bette and Dot Tattler (Sarah Paulson), the two-headed woman; Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange), the ringleader; and Jyoti Amge, the world’s smallest woman, who seems to be playing Elsa’s assistant.
The series also stars Denis O’Hare, Frances Conroy, Emma Roberts, Gabourey Sidibe, Wes Bentley, John Carroll Lynch, and Finn Wittrock, and I'm sure we'll get a first look at the characters they play another time.
American Horror Story: Freak Show’ begins its tale in the quiet, sleepy hamlet of Jupiter, Florida. The year is 1952. A troupe of curiosities has just arrived to town, coinciding with the strange emergence of a dark entity that savagely threatens the lives of townsfolk and freaks alike. This is the story of the performers and their desperate journey of survival amidst the dying world of the American carny experience.
American Horror Story: Freak Show is sure to be an awesomely creepy addition to this horror series anthology. It premieres Wednesday, October 8 at 10 PM on FX. Thanks to Comingsoon!
A newly released video features footage and concept art for Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and it features very different designs from what audiences saw in the movie that was released in 1988. The stuff you are about to see in the video below was created between 1981 and 1983. One of the other interesting things about this video is that Roger was voiced by Paul Reubens a.k.a. Pee-wee Herman.
This is a longer version of some footage that we shared with our readers a couple of years. This video is eight minutes long and features more concept art and full animation sequences.
Last week we brought you the insane and bloody red-band trailer for ABCs of Death 2. A tamer green-band trailer has now been released that you can show to your kids if you want! It's not as gory as the red-band, but it's still a fun trailer to watch that's packed full energy.
The movie consists of 26 short films, and each one has a completely different director and storyline. Some of the directors in the mix include Vincenzo Natali (Splice), Rodney Ascher (Room 237), E.L. Katz (Cheap Thrills), and the Soskasisters (American Mary). Here's the synopsis:
ABCs OF DEATH 2 is the follow-up to the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning from Nigeria to UK to Brazil and everywhere in between. It features segments directed by over two dozen of the world’s leading talents in contemporary genre film. The film is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a word to create a story involving death.
Provocative, shocking, funny and at times confrontational, ABCs OF DEATH 2 is another global celebration of next generation genre film making.
The movie will be released on October 2!

Here are a couple of fan-made posters for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that were created by DeviantArt user hobo95. I thought they were really cool and inventive. The first features the Superman symbol being made out of bats, and the second features the same logo, only it's being made out Wonder Woman's lasso, which I thought was fantastic.
While fans patiently wait to see if Veronica Mars will actually get another movie, creator Rob Thomas is giving us an interesting and fun looking spin-off series to watch called Play it Again, Dick. It's definitely a meta approach, as it centers on Veronica Mars actor Ryan Hansen as he tries to convince his series co-stars to help get a spin-off for his character Dick Casablancas into development.
Joining Hansen is Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring, and Amanda Noret. It will also include appearances by Enrico Colantoni (Keith Mars), Percy Daggs III (Wallace Fennel), Ken Marino (Vinnie), Daran Norris (Cliff McCormack), Francis Capra (Weevil), Kyle Gallner (Beaver), and Chris Lowell (Piz).
Seeking to capitalize off the heat from the VERONICA MARS movie, actor Ryan Hansen sets out to write, direct, produce, and star in a spin-off for his beloved character, Dick Casablancas. Now all he has to do is convince Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring, Ken Marino, and the rest of the cast to come along for the ride. PLAY IT AGAIN, DICK is created and executive produced by Rob Thomas (VERONICA MARS and iZOMBIE).
Play It Again, Dick will premiere on September 16th on CW Seed.
Are you ready to fall in love with Tom Hiddleston just a little bit more? Over the weekend the Thor and Avengers star surprised concert attendees at Michigan's Wheatland Music Festival where he performed a cover of Hank Williams' "Move It On Over." We can thank YouTube user BJMallory for the video!
A couple of months ago the actor was cast to play Williams in a biopic being made called I Saw the Light, which will tell the story of Williams' rise to fame and all of the hardships that came along with it. Hiddleston is obviously really getting comfortable in the role, and he does a great job belting out the tune in the video below. I can't wait to hear him yodel!
I also included a version of the song that was performed by Williams back in 1947 so you can compare the two.

I really enjoyed Karl Urban's Dredd, and like all of the other fans, I want to see a sequel happen. Earlier this year Urban said that there have been conversations with screenwriter Alex Garland and Lionsgate about bringing another Dredd movie to the big screen.
While attending Chicago Comic-Con the actor was asked about the possibility of Dredd 2 and he revealed that if it happens it will most likely be a prequel instead of a sequel. Here's what he had to say as reported by Movie Web:
"Why yes, there is a definite possibility. But, it is more likely that we will do the origins story with Dredd trekking through the cursed earth to find the first Chief Judge Fargo."
I think that would make for an awesome movie. The origins story for Dredd was created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, and the comic run that told the story was published in 2006 and 2007. It helped weave together all of the history of Dredd and the Judges that were left hanging by the previous writers who worked on the 2000AD comics over the decades.
This all kind of lines up with what screenwriter and producer Alex Garland said a couple of years ago:
"If I was involved in a second movie, it would be about origins and subversion, and Chopper would feature. In fact, I think Chopper would start and end the story. Apart from him, my rough plan involves Fargo, Giant, Angel Gang, and a version of Satanus. For a trilogy, add Cal and the Dark Judges. And Anderson would be in all three. But... just to be clear, this is hugely speculative and also unlikely, for any number of reasons... There are some variables which would rule me out [of any sequel] immediately.
"I think I'd try to make [the Dark Judges] really scary. Not play them for laughs. Just make them totally malevolent and lethal. And use practical effects where possible, except for Fire, which would be an on-set nightmare. The existential side to the Dark Judges is that they don't see a point to life. If my film-trilogy daydream was to play out, I would completely rewrite my original script for the Dark Judges - because it was junk - and start again.
"If there is a sequel, I'm imagining spending about half the movie in the Cursed Earth, and I would try to come up with some new faces as well as some old ones... I quite like the idea of Satanus. But much more mutated."
I seriously hope that he is able to make this happen!
The World of Warcraft tribute to the late Robin Williams has been revealed in the Warlords of Draenor. I've included several screenshots and a video of the colorful character. Williams is imagined as a genie that comes out of a lamp when you rub it. When first summoned, he exclaims "INFINITE COSMIC POWER," and when he shrinks back down he waves goodbye, and says "itty bitty living space." Other things found in the area include Mork's crashed egg spaceship and some toys scattered around, which is a nod Williams' role in Toys. This is a fitting homage to the amazing comedic actor who enjoyed playing WoW.
