I’m really loving these retro-modern character designs for the French poster for Pixar’s Inside Out. It’s also the first time that the silhouette head was of Riley’s, the young girl in the film. The French title of the movie as “Vice-Versa” is also pretty neat. I think that would have made a great title of the film in the US too.
The Japan poster ditches the stylized characters, but keeps the shape of Riley’s head.
If there’s one mid-season replacement sit-com coming to ABC that I’ve been looking forward to it’s Fresh Off The Boat. The single-camera family comedy was inspired by Eddie Huang’s memoir and focuses on a Chinese American family who moves from the culturally insulated life of… Read More »‘Fresh Off The Boat’ given mid-season debut lift by ABC
When Disney acquired Lucasfilm, all eyes immediately focused on the Star Wars property. After all, fans were eager to wash out the bad taste of the prequels. Then things got interesting. With rumors that the original cast were coming, Star Wars fans were thrown into a fever pitch of excitement.
Of course we now know that Luke, Leia, and Han are coming back. At what cost though? A year ago, there was a rumor that for Harrison, that meant another Indiana Jones. The story goes that as part of his negotiations for piloting the Falcon one more time, he leveraged Disney to start production on Indiana Jones 5.
There has been little news up until now. Bob Iger has commented that they are simply pacing themselves. After Crystal Skull, who can blame them. It still seems Disney is looking for a story though.
For me, this is incredibly encouraging. That Disney is taking their time is huge for me. I love the Indiana Jones movies and I think there really isn’t anything like them in cinema. While Crystal Skull was ultimately a let down, it still felt like an Indiana Jones movie. It gave me the same sense of excitement and everything. This was then dashed upon the rocks but still, it satisfied a need.Read More »Does Disney have big plans for Indiana Jones?
There are two new fan made t-shirts representing some of the awesome stuff we saw in the first preview trailer for Episode vii, aka Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Tee Fury today.
The first tee from zerobriant is available for the first time anywhere on Tee Fury. It features the best elements from the 39 seconds we all saw in the episode 7 trailer. From Rey on the bike to the Millennium Falcon, it’s all there.
Secondly, if you have a little sith blood in your veins, you may enjoy this new lightsaber shirt that glows in the dark with Red Fluorescent ink.

I’m always a fan of these “one man band” multi-track a capella numbers. The latest entry, and one of the best vocally, is from Matt Mulholland with his a cappella cover of “Friend Like Me” from Disney’s Aladdin. Matt’s sweet dulcet tones come to you… Read More »Videopolis: Friend like Me – a Capella Multitrack
Disney has entrusted Director Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1 & 2) with the reigns of its live-action & CGI combination remake of the classic The Jungle Book movie.
The movie will combine some live-action with photo-realistic CGI animals and environments. Think how the apes from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes were created digitally and you’ll get the picture. The movie has been on track for an October 9, 2015 release.
We’re now getting our first look at the title treatment (above) and first concept art for the film.
That’s definitely a departure from the style of the animated classic, but the spirit is still there.
