Really? A movie about a soccer predicting octopus? My first question is, how did an American filmmaker not pick this one up? Granted I’m extremely happy that it wasn’t an American but wow, well done China. I can’t say I expected to see a film that was based on the amazing German octopus that correctly predicted eight soccer (football) matches in the World Cup but I’m impressed to actually hear about one. The film entitled “Kill Paul Octopus” is going to be a comic suspense film about the most famous octopus in the world. Hit the jump to find out more. Read more »

FINALLY, CONCEPT ART MOVIE POSTERS THAT I MUST HAVE! Straight from Comic Con come these awesome posters for the new Marvel/Paramount films, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger. Not only are these posters beautiful but they are bad ass as well and will make any comic book/movie junkie squeal like a teenage girl at a Jonas Brothers’ concert. Both heroes are pictured in battle doing what they do best, kicking ass and taking names. Yahoo got the exclusive posters before Comic Con unleashes its geeky mayhem on the world (wish I could be there to partake in the festivities). Check out the two new posters after the jump.

Earlier this year a short film entitled The Raven hit the net and it blew me away (film embedded after the jump). Now granted it wasn’t the most original short, but it was a spectacle to watch. Many have compared it to Alive in Joberg, the short film which District 9 spawned from because of the style, technology and other miscellaneous details that the film incorporated into it. It looked like a film that could easily be upgraded into a full length feature and that is exactly what has just happened. Check out more details about the short after the jump and find out who could be starring in it . Read more »

The new trailer for City Under Siege was recently released and, I have to say, it has a Crank 2 superhero feel to it. The movie stars Aaron Kwok and Shu Qi, and is directed by Benny Chan. This sci-fi action film, set in Hong Kong in the year 2015 “centers on how Sunny (Kwok) accidentally gains super powers after being poisoned by biological gas. He becomes a superhero and falls in love with TV anchor Angel (Shu).” (Thanks Global Times.) This sounds like something inspried by the ninja turtles, doesn’t it? Hit the jump to watch the trailer and to find out more about City Under Siege. Read more »

Iko Uwais is back in some concept footage for his upcoming prison gang film, Beranda. The film is directed and written by Gareth Huw Evans, the same guy who teamed up with Uwais in the explosive martial arts film, Merantau.
