A DC Comics Themed Restaurant May Be Headed For The UK

A DC Comics Themed Restaurant May Be Headed For The UK
Breakfast With Batman? Noontime nuggets with Nightwing? Supper With Superman? According to Bleeding Cool, a new DC-themed restaurant is being planned for the UK where comics and food will collide. I have to say I like this idea a lot, but why doesn’t the US ever get cool things like this?

“The proposed design continues the use of the space as a high-end restaurant. The restaurant will be rooted within the DC Multiverse, taking visitors on a culinary adventure through the many fictional Universes famous for its superhero residents such as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. The style and design of the DC Multiverse are heavily influenced by the Art Deco period with the style prominent within its publications and film and television work.

The restaurant will not be a ‘theme park’ with literal sets and costumes from the franchise, but it has the intention to invite guests to experience the DC Universe without breaking the fourth wall- the imaginary wall that separates the audience from the performance. Reflecting Oliver Bernard’s work, the design will be a contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco period. This approach will evoke a sense of atmosphere prevalent in DC and the Titanic Bar without resorting to pastiche, encapsulating the Art Deco ethos of endless possibilities- progression and forward movement of time.”

Rare Teaser Trailer For Revenge of the Jedi

Rare Teaser Trailer For Revenge of the Jedi
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?

Concept Art For Paramount London’s Star Trek Attraction

Paramount is working on several attractions around the world, and many will include Star Trek elements. Paramount London is in a consultation phase right now before work starts in full force, with a target of a 2020 opening. We have some intriguing new concept art for the park, including a Star Trek themed Starfleet Command zone that looks pretty stunning.

The Starfleet Command zone will be joined by Adventure Isle, Land of Legends, Cartoon Circus, Action Square, Port Paramount, and Entertainment City. Obviously the best attraction will be the Starfleet Command Zone and the concept art for it certainly looks bold.
