‘Skyline’ Debuts A New Poster

Posted on August 20, 2010

Last week, The Flickcast brought you the first trailer for Skyline, a science fiction movie in which an extra terrestrial population sucks humans up into the sky for unknown purposes.  Now, a new poster for the film has debuted on Shock Til You Drop. We, of course, have it for you here as well.

The movie, which lands in theaters on November 12, stars Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, and Brittany Daniel, among others. Most people I know are pretty excited to see this and have  it on their “must see” lists.

The movie is directed by Greg and Colin Strause, who have previously done visual effects for some very high profile movies including Avatar, Iron Man 2, The Book of Eli, and  Fast and Furious.

The poster features a spaceship of sorts hovering over a skyline, wreaking havoc. Check out the full poster after the jump.

Get Your First Look at Marvel’s ‘Shadowland: Ghost Rider’ #1

Posted on August 19, 2010

Even though, for whatever reasons, the Ghost Rider movie wasn’t, shall we say, very good, that hasn’t stopped people from moving forward with plans for another one. Nor has it stopped Marvel from continuing to feature the character in comic book form which, as you will see from this preview for the upcoming comic book Shadowland: Ghost Rider #1, is a pretty cool way to do it.

Written by Rob Williams with art by Clayton Crain the “red-hot comic blockbuster of the summer, Shadowland, continues.” In the book, the spirit of Vengeance makes his debut after being summoned by the Kingpin. In an attempt to change the tides of war, Ghost Rider must travel to Japan and take on the unrelenting might of the secret ninja organization known as The Hand.

So let’s get this straight: Ghost Rider goes to Japan to take on Ninjas? Sounds pretty awesome to me.

Can’t wait until this book goes on sale which, by the way, is on September 15th. In the meantime, check out some preview pages for it after the jump.

‘Saw’ Director Tackles The 11-11 Movement

Posted on August 19, 2010

Have you ever heard of the 11-11 movement?  I haven’t, until today.  Apparently it is a spiritual cult that believes the date 11-11 has cosmic power, and that the number has been associated with many historical events. They also believe that on these dates, one can achieve a higher level of consciousness or enlightenment, allowing extra terrestrials and angels to communicate with them.  Several mass meditations have been scheduled on these dates by the group.

What does that have to do with Saw director Darren Lynn Bousman?  Heat Vision is reporting that Bousman will partner with Wayne Rice to make a movie  based on the movement called 11-11-11.  Of course, it will open on 11-11-11.

It sounds like Bousman is looking to break free from his typically gory trappings.  He indicates that he wants this movie to be more akin to Signs, which was more of a psychological thriller.

Bousman has previously directed Saw II, III, and IV and Repo! The Genetic Opera, which was a commercial flop, but has found a cult following on DVD. He has already started writing the story, which will focus on something being able to enter our world at precisely 11:11 on 11-11-11 for 49 minutes.

We don’t get to see too many movies about cults, but they are fascinating.  If it is done effectively, this could be a very creepy movie.

While the real cult focuses on extra terrestrials, it sounds like the movie will deal more with spirits and angels.  The fact that the actual date is coming up makes marketing the movie a breeze, as long as they can finish it on time.  Of course, we will keep you posted on the proceedings.

Hands-On: ‘Super Scribblenauts’ For Nintendo DS

Posted on August 19, 2010

With Scribblenauts being one of our favorite games of 2009, it is no surprise we were excited to get some hands on time with its sequel at San Diego Comic Con this year. In the E3 Trailer for Super Scribblenauts, we found out that not only would the game receive a control upgrade where players would be able to finally control Maxwell with the D-Pad instead of the sometimes unreliable stylus but they would also be given the option of using adjectives in creating their objects.

These adjectives would influence the color, behavior and abilities of the items created in Super Scribblenauts. In the first game if a player wanted to create a flying pig, they’d have to type “Pig” and then “Wings” and attach the wings to the pig. Now, by simply typing “flying pig”, the game intuitively combines the two into one hovering swine.

At the Con, we got a walkthrough of some of the game’s levels. Super Scribblenauts will feature 120 new levels which Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment described as “deeper, more linear and require a little more thought process”. With the upgraded controls also comes more action oriented levels. While many levels are still focused on problem solving, there are now stronger action elements to the title.

The classic stylus controls are still there but for “twitch” style action levels, the d-pad with the ability to control when Maxwell jumps greatly improves upon what most consider the only flaw of the original game. While Maxwell isn’t going to be as tight control-wise as Mario would be, he is much easier to properly maneuver, saving accidental deaths and aggravating level failures.

Inteview: ‘Children’s Hospital’ Star Rob Huebel Speaks

Posted on August 19, 2010

In case you haven’t been keeping up, we’ve been bringing you tons of great interviews with the cast of Adult Swim’s newest series, Children’s Hospital. We’ve already spoken with Ken Marino, Paul Scheer, and the lovely Lake Bell, so today we go straight to the man on top, Rob Huebel.

Many remember Rob as one of the founding members of MTV’s Human Giant, but he’s probably known best for being in just about everything that has to do with comedy on TV in the past 5 years. From Arrested Development to I Love You, Man to 30 Rock, American Dad, The Office and countless others. Huebel is certainly a character actor who gets around.

It seems that he’s most recently found a home on Rob Corddry’s Children’s Hospital as the clueless Dr. Owen Maestro, the melodramatic love interest of just about every female lead on the show. We spoke with Rob about Hospital as well as a few of his upcoming projects that we were pretty excited to hear about.

Check out the full interview after the jump and be sure to catch an ALL NEW season of Children’s Hospital this Sunday, August 22nd at 10:30 PM, only on Adult Swim.

Andy Whitfield Stars In An Awesomely Geeky ‘Time Crisis’ Short

Posted on August 19, 2010

Video games will always be the a constant go-to when it comes to geeks. There are geeks that follow comics and movies, but almost all of them still consider classic video games as their source of geekdom. So when we get a fantastic fan film tribute to Time Crisis starring Spartacus: Blood & Sand’s Andy Whitfield, there’s plenty of reason to celebrate.

The film comes from Youtube special effects guru Freddie Wong who has given us some great experiments with CG effects and pulled off great videos like Jedi A-Holes, Skydiving Out My Front Door, and a great stop motion video titled Light Warfare.

Now, Wong has teamed up with legendary TV action star Andy Whitfield to give us a great sendup to the classic arcade game Time Crisis. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to those who haven’t played the game, but for the rest, even the rapid-fire trigger technique towards the end brings back memories.

Check out the video after the jump, and here’s to hoping that Freddie Wong turns up in some credits from great upcoming films.

Dormammu and Viewtiful Joe Coming to ‘Marvel vs. Capcom 3’

Posted on August 19, 2010

With Marvel vs. Capcom 3: The Fate of Two Worlds still months away, Capcom is slowly but surely releasing tidbit by tidbit of information about the title. After our hands-on time with the title,  we have gotten more and more excited with each new character announcement.

Gamescom brought with it the official announcement of two characters new to the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise.

Viewtiful Joe, the titular character in his own game made his Capcom vs. debut in the recent Wii title Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. After the hype of this classic Capcom character being brought back, it must have been a no brainer for him to be tossed in to Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

A not so surprising addition comes in Dormammu from the Marvel Universe. Not because of the popularity of the character but because people began suspecting him with the first teaser trailers of the game were released. From the ending of the teasers, it looked as though Dormammu may be the new big bad that threatened the two worlds but now it looks like this is not the case as Dormammu has been brought down to size with the rest of the game’s cast.

Take a peek at all the new screen shots below and stick to the Flickcast for more news on Marvel vs. Capcom 3: The Fate of Two Worlds as it becomes available.
