Marvel Studios made another change to The Avengers lineup which involves the part of the Hulk being recast once again. Action star and philanthropist Chris Norton will now portray Bruce Banner in the film. Joss Whedon explained that Chris Norton earned the part due to “that look in his eyes, where you know he’s on the verge of snapping”.

Space Jam Website Still Kicking
In 1996 Warner Bros. released the live-action/animated film Space Jam starring NBA superstar Michael Jordan — I’m sure most remember the film’s premise being Jordan joining the Looney Tunes to play basketball against the Monstars.Why am I bringing up such an old movie? To my surprise, the official site for Space Jam is still up. Of course the background clashes with the content making it hard to read, but weren’t all websites like that at the time?
Nostalgia anyone? You can view the official Space Jam website HERE.

Geeking About Tron: Legacy
If you asked me what is the earliest memory I have about a film, my answer would be Tron. I apparently drove my parents crazy wanting to rent and watch it constantly. So it was a given that I went to see Tron: Legacy on opening night.Another given is that Jeff Bridges is the man. His character progression for Kevin Flynn from the slacker/techie video gamer from the original to the techie slacker pretending to be Obi-Wan in Legacy felt natural.
Bridges’ portrayal of the antagonist CLU was cold, precise, driven, and focused on his goals. Though, CLU, like his creator Kevin, found joy in the games.
Garrett Hedlund’s Sam Flynn is an adrenaline junkie who inherited his father’s techie slacker tendencies. He was an effective protagonist. And his scene reuniting with his father was very well done; it was touching; it felt real.
Olivia Wilde’s Quorra was a really fun character. She was tough, but full of awe and curious about everything. She’s an optimistic A.I., whose random and awkward bursts of laughter can be described as adorable.
Daft Punk? They were a perfect fit for Tron: Legacy. And any fan of both Daft Punk and Tron knew this right off the bat. Their score for the film was brilliant and really did “alter the mood” accordingly.
Director Joe Kosinski had a recent interview with Discover Magazine, which you can read HERE.
Tron: Legacy lives up to its predecessor, and it’s an entirely fun movie. Watch it. You know you want to.

Delta Zulu by Warehouse 1904 Productions

Courtesy of Kalin Law My friends at Warehouse 1904 Productions have been hard at work on their film Delta Zulu.
What’s the premise you ask? After an apocalyptic event that leaves humanity near ruins, there’s a threat that still lingers in areas that are quarantined off. In these areas, private military companies carry out missions for profit. A freelance reporter named Clark follows a group of mercenaries known as White Shield International to document their efforts and their side of the story.

Courtesy of Kalin Law On October 9th and 10th I had the pleasure of joining Warehouse 1904 to shoot scenes for Delta Zulu. In a caravan we headed down to Campo where we were scheduled to film.
The area we shot in Campo left me giddy. Along the desert were abandoned buildings that were falling apart; some were overtaken by overgrowth, others were crumbling away. The paths were jagged; it was not friendly; it looked like a deserted town, and we were the only people there.

Courtesy of Kalin Law We diligently filmed throughout the day and once it was night, we carried on shooting. There was such a stark contrast between a sunny, hot day in Campo to how quickly nightfall came with the cold weather. Nevertheless, our minds were on business and got the shots we wanted.

Courtesy of Kalin Law My second day with Warehouse 1904 wasn’t as intense, but it was still just as productive. With the cast in military gear, we loaded up the vehicles and hit the road to film guerrilla style. The caravan of jeeps stuck to a strict route while a fourth vehicle armed with cameras maneuvered around. The actors in the jeep I was in broke out in song a few times when we weren’t being filmed; showing how enjoyable it is to shoot with this cast and crew.

Star Wars Celebration Shows Off Life-Size TIE Interceptor
The Star Wars Celebration V opened on August 12th in Orlando, Florida, and there was a full-scale Elite TIE Interceptor model there — I’m incredibly jealous and wish I was there to see it.

Convention Whoa
I was meaning to write new posts everyday during Comic-Con, but frankly, it just isn’t possible unless it’s quick tidbits. Then by the time I get home I’m too exhausted to write — but trust me, I’m putting together some posts for my few readers to check out that I’m working on with what ever free time I have. It’ll be worth it. Maybe.
