The latest TV teaser for Blade Runner 2049 gives us some new footage to check out. More Ford, more Gosling, a car chase sequence and much more. This sequel has been a long time coming and we will finally get to see it when it hits theaters on October 6th.
Lucasfilm and Disney have released a very cool behind-the-scenes video for Star Wars: The Last Jedi! It was shared at D23 by director Rian Johnson and now it’s online for everyone to enjoy. There’s a lot going on here including many new scenes to enjoy. This should get you pumped to see this movie.
This weekend is the 35th anniversary of Blade Runner, and with the new movie coming our way soon, let’s celebrate with a new behind-the-scenes featurette about the sequel. It features much of the cast and crew, showing off the world of 2049 Los Angeles, as well as how Blade Runner 2049 is trying to set itself apart from the original. The previous trailer didn’t have me as excited as I wanted, but this featurette really has me wanting to see the movie. It doesn’t reveal much about the plot, but it really shines a light on the world building that took place to make this film happen.
Blade Runner 2049 hits theaters October 6.

The 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds sent listeners everywhere into a panic. This clip is from what would have likely been an amazing epic sci-fi film. Sadly,a film that never was.
Stop-motion animation master Harryhausen brought Wells’ vision to life. A slimy Martian with bulging eyes, a slobbering beaked mouth and “Gorgon groups of tentacles”. You can check it out in this 16 mm test reel. You can see right away that this would have been another Ray Harryhausen masterpiece. Sadly the project went in another direction. Oh, if only we could have seen Ray’s vision.

This is a cool piece of Star wars history that most of us have never seen before. This teaser was recently acquired by the Academy Film Archive. It may in fact be the very first teaser trailer for George Lucas’ third film in the saga, Return of The Jedi. Of course back then it started off titled Revenge of The Jedi. Then Lucas changed his mind as he is apt to do.
The Academy says that this brief teaser was only attached to a brief theatrical run of a double feature of the first two Star Wars movies in the U.K. It debuted so early that it still has “Revenge” as part of the title, and it promised a Christmas 1983 release. The movie actually came out much earlier. This is a great piece of cinema history. They obviously cobbled it together very quickly. Most of it is simply stills from the film. It is great to see what those people in that UK theater would have seen. Can you imagine how excited they must have been for this film?
