Written and sung by The Phenomenauts, this is a near-punk anthem to a world class astrophysicist, Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson. Someone had to inherit the mantle from Carl Sagan, and it turned out to be Neil. Thanks to Laughing Squid for the heads up on this one.
They have broken loose with another Skyfall trailer, even better than the last one. I would have thought they would have gotten predictable by now, but after 50 years of James Bond movies they just keep getting more creative. And personally I think this new Bond is my favorite since Sean Connery, I almost get the feeling they are the only two out of the crowd who actually read the Ian Flemming books and understand the character.
It is finally time to see whether the new version of Total Recall does either the Philip K. Dick book or the original version of the film justice. The trailers have looked very promising indeed.
On October 26th, one of the potentially best movies of the year will hit the big screen: Cloud Atlas. The 2004 book by David Mitchell was amazing, the cast and directors are amazing (many of the actors playing multiple rolls), this trailer makes it look like the finished product could just possibly live up to the promise that the component elements bring to the table. I can not wait to find out if they manage to pull it off; I will see you in the popcorn line as we go to find out.
Revolution kicks off on NBC on September 17th, and I was planing to be watching it anyways because it is science fiction by J.J.Abrams. But after watching the trailer I had to mark it in my calendar so I don’t miss it; this one looks like fun.
Ryo Ikehata’s light novel Calamity of a Certain Zombie Girl has begun production as an Anime, and there is already an initial trailer for it. If the name sounds familiar, Ikehata’s last published series to get turned into Anime was Blood+, an excellent little Vampire story. Thanks to Crunchyroll for the heads up on that one.
