New Tron Viral Site

Written by Paul Cryer Tuesday, 16 February 2010 10:20

A new Tron Viral site has been found at http://www.flynnlives.com/zerohour. It appears to have a kind of 'countdown' using classic Tron graphics. I expect this will be a site to keep an eye on during the next few months.

New Riddick film in the works?

Written by Paul Cryer Friday, 12 February 2010 11:05

After lots of rumour, hints, talk, it appears that a new Riddick film, entitled simply 'Riddick' is on the cards. Apparently scaled back a lot from the original plans, it'll focus more on Riddick (ala Pitch Black) than the sprawling Universe created in Chronicles. While the latter film isn't the disaster some made it out to be (the directors cut is actually not bad at all, just seriously flawed and tries to do too much), a film more along the lines of Pitch Black and the game series should work well in my opinion.
