Superman - Concept Art From Scrapped Brett Ratner Superman Film

Wow! Now this is something that I would have loooooved to see in Superman Returns. But NO, they just had to bring back Lex Luthor AGAIN and then make Superman face off against a giant kryptonian landmass that he hurls into space...FUCKING LAME!!!!

What you're seeing below is concept art from a Superman film that never got made. It had a script written by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Alias, Mission: Impossible 3, Cloverfield) and Brett Ratner onboard as director before the project was scrapped way back in the mid-90's!!!!! (sigh) what a crying shame.


This is supposedly a Kryptonian robot called a "Rouser" that, I assume, is spewing out kryptonite in a sort of plasmic form. This is something that would have been freaking amazing in a Superman movie! The person who designed this said that when Brett Ratner left production McG (Charlie's Angels, Terminator Salvation) was going to direct and Owen Patterson, known for his work on The Matrix trilogy, was going to do set designs. Man, a lot of famous people were apparently involved with this project. Read More......

Terminator Salvation - New Trailer

Whoa! Fucking awesome!!! The latest trailer for Terminator Salvation is up on the net! All of the doubts I've had about this new reboot of the Terminator franchise is fading away.

Not only is this trailer really blowing away all the shit I saw in Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines but there's news floating around that Arnold Schwarzenegger will have a photorealistic CG version of himself in the film as a cameo that will more than likely have a bigger role in Terminator Salvation 2 and 3. Also, Linda Hamilton (Sarah Conner) is in talks to return to do a narration for the film and Robert Patrick who played the T-1000 in Terminator 2 will have an appearance as a 60 year old scientist in Terminator Salvation 2 who will eventually become the basis for the T-1000 model terminators. Based on these tips it's more likely that the T-1000 and the Schwarzenegger terminator models will appear in the next two sequels.

All in all I'm getting more and more excited to see how this new trilogy will turn out. You can see this trailer in front of Watchmen this Friday. Check out the new trailer below!

G.I. Joe - Movie Action Figures

Pics of the G.I. Joe movie action figures have popped up on the nets and they're looking better than the old school Joe's with the rubber band that connected their torso to their legs. I'm not a huge G.I. Joe fan. The movie looks okay based on the Super Bowl teaser but it's directed by Stephen Sommers so don't get your hopes up. Either way I'm sure Marlon Wayans would be happy to know he has an action figure based on his likeness.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen Toys

I found a shit load of pictures of the action figures for Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. These pics show off Jazz's new look, the Constructicons, Soundwave in the form of a cybertronian jet and Megatron's new tank transformation. A bunch of new characters are here as well as the big construction vehicle seen in the trailers.

These figures look a lot better and more detailed than the ones released for the first film. I just hope I'll have enough money to at least buy one of them.

Lost Planet 2 - Announcement Trailer

YES!!! A total surprise to everyone!! Capcom has lifted the veil for one of their next big games that's likely to hit in 2010, Lost Planet 2!! The story picks up 10 years after the events of the first game. For those who played the first Lost Planet you'll remember that new technologies were developed to warm the planet of E.D.N. 3 allowing lush jungles and plantlife to flourish. The sequel features new jungle environments, new mechas, a new combat shield that can unfold and new akrid creatures.

Based on the interview and the gameplay footage it looks like the game will have 2-player online co-op or more. Towards the end of the trailer we see allies jumping on top of a new giant akrid creature that has a slimy body and lava-filled tentacles coming from its mouth. We also see in the beginning a team of 4 snow pirates getting off a boat. This implies 4-player co-op. In the interview the games' director says the story won't focus on one main character but several snow pirates. This certainly hints at co-op and multiplayer gameplay. It's the right direction for Capcom given that Resident Evil 5 features online co-op and Bionic Commando has multiplayer gameplay as well.

The game also lets players hitch a ride on top of mechas during combat. I would go so far as to guess that in multiplayer mode players will team up in their own snow pirate guilds and battle each other while fighting off the akrid at the same time! So it essentially becomes a three-way online showdown! Enough talking, just watch the damn trailer!



The entire trailer features all in-game footage and it looks great so far! It runs on Capcom's MT-Framework 2.0 engine. At this point it's unknown whether or not the characters from the first game will play a role in the story or if the sequel will start off fresh with an original cast.

Man, Capcom really has become one of my all time favorite game development studios. They've got Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4, Bionic Commando, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Street Fighter 4, Dead Rising 2, Resident Evil 5, Dark Void and now Lost Planet 2! They just keep on pumping out the goods!
