If you have a spare $30000 dollars lying around, why not splash-out on Marty McFly’s Hoverboard from Back to the Future II.
The eBay auction claims its an original prop from the movies, and is made out of genuine, eh, wood.
For $30000 I’d want it to actually hover!
One of my favourite book series, Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy has been announced, in the Hollywood Reporter, as finally getting a movie green-light.
It will be produced by Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne who’s last sci-fi project was the family orientated ‘The Last Mimzy’.
The Movie’s have long been in development, due perhaps to their political theme and the huge scope of the stories, which covers centuries in time. Asimov admitted that the original inspiration for the stories was the ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire‘.
Shaye said “Our idea to renew the worldwide audience’s appetite for the story,” [but] “This is not a script you can knock out in six months,”.
Buzztown will be following its development.
Even if you don’t know who Vargas was, you’ll certainly recognise the style of his paintings. The Classic pin-up girl look of the 1930s and 40s.
This Vargas-esque portrait of actress Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter, painted by James Jean, makes a brief appearance in the trailer and the piece will apparently play a role in introducing Sally Jupiter in the film.
If you’ve had a look at the film section here at Buzztown you’ll realise I like a bit of Zombie action now and again.
What’s that? you haven’t seen ‘Weekend of the Walking Dead’, well go watch it, I’ll wait here…..
…welcome back, crap isn’t it! Well maybe not bad for a first filmmaking attempt.
Anyway as I was saying, I likes me some Zombies movies, but always get a little sad at the end, because I want to know what happens to the heros after the credits roll.
Well that problem was solved the day I picked up The Walking Dead, by Image Comics. You see, this story doesn’t end, I guess it will one day, but for now, there are no plans to finish it up. In fact Issue #50 was the highest seller so far and has gone for a second print run. So its future looks good.
The Walking Dead is centered around a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky, his family, and a number of other survivors who have banded together in order to survive after the world is overrun with zombies. As the series progresses, the characters become more developed, and their personalities shift under the stress of a zombie apocalypse. Fighting growing despair — and occasionally each other — the group searches for a secure location which they can finally call home.
The only problem with this book is that I can’t wait till the next issue each time. It’s very adictive. Volume 8 of the graphic novel has just come out and it’s on it’s way to me right now.
I highly recommend starting from the beginning and giving it a go. check it out here.
