New Trailer for The Osiris Child

This new trailer for the upcoming sci-fi action film, The Osiris Child: Science Fiction Volume One looks pretty cool. I have no idea what that subtitle is all about, maybe they are planning some sort of anthology. Regardless, the movie looks pretty entertaining. It looks like well done low budget sci-fi, which is not easy to pull off. This one is definitely on my radar now. Check out the trailer and see what you think.

Set in the future in a time of interplanetary colonisation, Sy (Lutz), a mysterious drifter, meets Kane (MacPherson), a lieutenant working for an off-world military contractor, EXOR. The unlikely pair must work together to rescue Kane’s young daughter (Croft) and reach safety amid an impending global crisis which was brought on by EXOR itself. Teaming up with a pair of renegades (Ford and Lucas), Kane and Sy clash with EXOR in an attempt to escape while battling the savage creatures that roam the barren planet.

At Last, The Full Blade Runner 2049 Trailer

The poster release was last week, and now we have the full Blade Runner 2049 trailer. This one gives us a better look at the film than the previous teasers, showing off how visually rich this film is. It does feel like Blade Runner. I can’t help feeling that it also feels like something different as well. It has me intrigued to see where they take this story. It isn’t quite what I expected.

The Making Of Arrival FX Breakdown Video

If you enjoyed Arrival, Oblique FX has released The Making Of Arrival video showing off the VFX work on the film. Many Bothans died to- I mean, a lot of work went into telling this story on the big screen and much of that was special effects work. This video gives us a look at what was real and what was not. They did an amazing job on this film and without these effects it would not have been the awesome movie that it is. Many people consider this to be the best Sci-Fi movie of 2016 after all.

First Trailer For Alien: Covenant

Merry Christmas everyone. Fox has an amazing Christmas gift for you this year. The first trailer for Alien: Covenant. All I can say is, it was worth the wait. This looks like the Alien movie that fans have waited for. While I was one of the fans that loved Prometheus, many people did not. This movie looks like it delivers what most fans want, who were disappointed with that movie. It looks very similar in tone and atmosphere to the original movie. If the trailer is any indication, this is going to be an amazing and scary movie.

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN: COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.

It will hit theaters on May 19th.

Tie-X – Tie Fighter Design

Tie-X is Jason Battersby’s personal TIE Fighter design project. It took 4 months to create. His goal was to design a ship that fits into the Star Wars galaxy while also having his own design influences. I say job well done. This ship looks stunning. You can see many shots of it in action, chasing the Millennium Falcon, in the docking bay and on patrol. The design is just perfect.
