We won’t be getting to see the new J.J. Abram’s television series Believe until this fall sometime, but that doesn’t mean we won’t get inundated before then with trailers and the such of what we can expect from the series. The show was written by Alfonso Cuaron and Mark Friedman, with Cuaron sitting in the director’s chair. Here’s a bit of a synopsis for the show (but if you really want to blow the first show the full script is also online): about the unlikely relationship between a girl in possession of a great gift/powers — which will come into their own in seven years — and the man who is sprung from prison to protect her from those trying to hunt her down. Even after watching the trailer I’m not so sure that the Abram’s name will be any sign of success for this one. via Bleeding Cool J.J.

Getting a bit ahead of myself, but what the heck With the end finally in sight for Windows Phone Book, I’ve started thinking a bit about what comes next. Sure, I’ve got a lot of work to do on the current book, on both the writing and publishing sides, but I want to keep moving forward. And since I’m hoping to charge for the next book, I’m curious which topics are of the most interest to actual readers. read more

When I first saw the short film The Raven by Ricardo de Montreuil back in 2010 I pretty well fell in love with the sci-fi film and thought that this would be a perfect property for Hollywood. Since that point there has been more than a few attempts to bring The Raven to the big screen but it seems to spend more time in development hell than anything else. Well it turns out that Universal Pictures might just be biting the bullet and going forward with the project and right now Gerald Butler is in talks to star in the full screen version of the movie that was written by Justin Marks and that Montreuil will maintain directorship of the project. For those not familiar with the origina short film it was about a man named Chris Black – aka The Raven –  who possesses a power that could lead to the destruction of the current regime, and they will stop at nothing to destroy him. Here is the original short film that was shot for a budget of $5,000 using a RED camera. via GeekTyrant Sci-Fi Short Film “The Raven” To Get Hollywood Treatment With Gerald Butler Starring [Video] is a post from: Winextra Follow us on Twitter: @WinExtra and on Facebook: WinExtra Fans Related posts: Project: S.E.R.A.

I remember seeing a very early trailer for this movie (on Vimeo - I think) at some point near the end of last year and thinking that this could be a really great movie. Well after seeing the trailer that dropped today for Europa Report I have to say that this movie is going to be talked about for some time. The visuals are incredible, space travel is treated seriously, and it even though this is only a trailer the suspense in the movie is an underlying current you can’t get away from. The movie is about the six people who make up the crew on a three year journey to Europa, a moon of Jupiter; and what they find when they get there. Unfortunately early reports of the movie were that it was going to be one of those found footage type movies that just want to make you gag; but as you can see in the trailer there is some serious film making credibility going on. The movie will be available on iTunes come June 27th but also slated to hit theaters on August 2nd. If you like “good” science fiction movies this just might be up your alley. via io9 “Europa Report” Is Going To Be One Fantastic Movie [Trailer] is a post from: Winextra Follow us on Twitter: @WinExtra and on Facebook: WinExtra Fans Related posts: “After Earth” Starring Will Smith And Son Jaden Gets A Trailer Leak [Video] Ridley Scott’s movie Prometheus Gets An International Release Trailer [Video] New Theatrical Trailer For Tom Cruise’s “Oblivion” [Video] “Thor: The Dark World” Trailer Shows A Lot Of Promise [Trailer]
