Akira Project Trailer

Who knows if a live-action Akira movie will ever come to light (and if it ever should–the original movie was perfectly fine, thank you very much), but this fan-made live-action Akira trailer is certainly awesome. Major kudos to the fans who took the time and effort to put this together.

Space Pirate Captain Harlock

In a nostalgic flashback to Japanese anime of the 1980s, Space Pirate Captain Harlock is returning in a new 3D animated movie. James Cameron says of the film “This movie is already legendary.” Judging from this trailer, it does look to be pretty awesome. It’s been a long time since the old...

Captain Kirk to Command Navy’s Latest Destroyer

The US Navy’s latest, most technologically advanced destroyer has just hit the water, and it is to be commanded by none other than Captain James Kirk. No joke. Not only is the new USS Zumwalt designed with classified stealth technologies, but will very likely be fitted with an electromagnetic railgun and directed...

Star Trek Continues

Forget about J.J. Abrams’ “re-imagining” of Star Trek. If you want some new classic Star Trek (TOS), then look no further than Star Trek Continues. The sets, costumes, sound effects, and special effects are very well done, and in the Original Series style. The acting is pretty good too, and even...

Home of a True Trekkie

This is the home of a true Trekkie. Line Rainville apparent spent $30,000 renovating her home to look like the original series Enterprise, complete with a living room that looks like the bridge, bed room, and bathroom.  The attention to detail is phenomenal. You can read more about her Star Trek...

Transcendence

Transcendence is a new movie coming out April of 2014, and seems to either be about AIs or transhumanism, or both. Probably both. Whatever the case, the teaser trail is narrated by Morgan Freeman. Which means it’s epic. Morgan Freeman could narrate paint drying and it would be epic. And...

Call of Cthulhu, Silent Film

If you’re an H.P. Lovecraft fan, or if you’ve just heard passing references to Cthulhu and have always wondered what the heck it was all about, then you can’t miss this independent short film adaptation of “The Call of Cthulhu”. Unlike many other films that have been written based on...

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary

Happy 50th anniversary to the longest running sci-fi series of all time and space! It all began on November 23rd, 1963, on BBC One with the first episode of Doctor Who, An Unearthly Child, in grainy black and white, staring the first Doctor, William Hartnell. Celebrating 50 years of Doctor...

Airlords of Airia

Check out this short independent steampunk film, Airlords of Airia. Although the dialog is weak, and the English dubbing not so good, overall it’s a neat little 12 minute piece. It’s also just part one, apparently, and I guess they’ll be looking for more crowdfunding over at their site.
