<br />
The series, <i>Battlestar Galactica: The Official Ships Collection</i>, will feature designs from both <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Remastered-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B00Q2OQNEU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1515641572&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=battlestar+galactica&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkId=a04cefcea0c7c62d116f3f86920c6f17">the original series</a>, and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Battlestar-Galactica-Complete-Blu-ray-Region-Free/dp/B0027UY8B8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1515641584&sr=1-1&keywords=battlestar+galactica&refinements=p_n_format_browse-bin:2650305011&linkCode=ll1&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkId=330c1cfff0914285b7af61d69a220b5f">the 21st century remake</a>, which are being produced at a larger scale than the main run of <i>Star Trek</i> ships, more akin to the special size from that series.<br />
<br />
The first ship in the series will be a Mark II Colonial Viper, the newer series' take on the classic Viper design. The <a href="https://shop.eaglemoss.com/battlestar-galactica-ships/battlestar-galactica-viper-mark-ii-ship">Eaglemoss online shop</a> just recently added a listing, showing off the model in all it's glory for the first time.<br />

There are also a couple of detail images, cropped in from the same main image. Plus this description of the model and accompanying magazine.<br />
<blockquote>
The first model to join the new Battlestar Galactica Ships Collection is the superiority fighter Viper Mark II ship, which appeared in almost every episode of the famous 2004 Battlestar Galactica television series.<br />
<br />
Launched from Battlestars, the Viper Mark II was instrumental in the First Cylon War before being replaced by newer models. A squadron of the Mark II Vipers remained on board the Battlestar Galactica and was re-activated to defend the Galactica during its four-year journey to Earth.<br />
<br />
This long, sleek Battlestar Galactica Viper Mark II Ship measures 22 cm long, brought to life in die-cast metal and high-quality ABS materials. We have worked closely with members of the modern Galactica VFX team to ensure that this model is accurate as possible.<br />
<br />
Complete with a collector's 16-page magazine that provides an in-depth profile of the ship, exclusive behind the scenes articles, with original design sketches and features an interview with Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore.</blockquote>
The magazine cover has also been revealed:<br />

<br />
This first issue is expected in March, and on the <a href="https://shop.eaglemoss.com/battlestar-galactica-ships/battlestar-galactica-viper-mark-ii-ship">Eaglemoss website</a> (UK version), you can currently join a waiting list to order it. Alternatively it is also available to pre-order from <a href="https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=DCL69749&id=TH-406308734">Entertainment Earth</a> and <a href="https://forbiddenplanet.com/236942-battlestar-galactica-ships-magazine-1-viper-mk-ii/?affid=8of5GtTC">Forbidden Planet</a>.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: And Eaglemoss have now listed issue two as well, the <a href="https://shop.eaglemoss.com/battlestar-galactica-ships/battlestar-galactica-cylon-raider-ship">Cylon Raider</a> from the newer series, which looks like a great model! This one has a release date in June noted; so if the series follows that sort of two monthly release period the higher price point for it's larger models shouldn't hurt too much!<br />

<blockquote>
The second model to take flight from the Battlestar Galactica: Official Ships Collection is the sleek and deadly Strike Interceptor of the Cylon fleet, Cylon Raider as know as the sparrow.<br />
<br />
The Raider is the primary attack fighter used by the Cylons. Modern Raiders are cybernetic, living creatures with a complex system of organs, veins and fluids inside the main body. They can be killed but can also be reborn, meaning that experienced MODERN CYLON RAIDER combat ships are quickly available for duty again.<br />
<br />
This Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider Ship measures approx 25 cm long and is brought to life in die-cast metal and high-quality ABS materials. Its sleek design means it can speed past nearly all enemy ships and hunt down slower ships as well as dodge bullets in firefights.<br />
<br />
The ship comes complete with a 16-page collector’s magazine providing an in-depth profile of the ship, exclusive behind the scenes articles, original design sketches, and an interview with series developer Ronald D. Moore.</blockquote>
One other early ships in the series was previewed at the New York Comic Con last year. All the early issues are fighters, but we can expect capital ships in the collection too. On display at that event was the Cylon Raider, and the Viper Mark II, alongside it's forerunner from the original series.

The site gives a full overview of the global company, which also works in energy and communications industries, including a history of Jurassic World:<br />
<blockquote>Soon after the acquisition of InGen in 1998, Simon Masrani looked to work at a plan that seemed impossible given the circumstances of the years preceding - the control and re-invention of a new theme park on Isla Nublar. Experts from the Masrani company were collected together, along with Dr. Henry Wu from the InGen company, to plan for the greatest theme park and attractions ever constructed in humankind's history.<br />
<br />
Simon Masrani used subsidaries Axis Boulder Engineering and Timack Construction to work on the preparation and planning prior to construction on the island. Construction workers were protected from native wildlife by InGen security over the course of the three years from 2002 until completion in 2004. With over $1.2 billion alone spent in concrete and building materials, this project was never underestimated.<br />
<br />
"The most incredible thing about the project for me was the fact that we were able to construct so far off the mainland, while maintaining all deadlines", explains Jurassic World Project Manager Mr. Eli Jacobs. "The logistics and the planning were just incredible. Security teams, perimeter fencing, scientists, quarantine zones ... it was quite the atmosphere."<br />
<br />
Simon Masrani was taking no chance.<br />
<br />
Simon adds, "The sense of security proved vital in the establishment of Jurassic World. The media were having a frenzy at the time, conservation groups around the globe were looking and waiting for any incident to tarnish our reputation to try and take Isla Nublar away from us. We had to set a feeling of safety, for when the time came for opening in 2005, we had to ensure people were willing to come."<br />
<br />
And come they did ... Jurassic World officially opened in June 2005 to an incredible 98,120 visitors in its first month of operation.</blockquote>The site also includes lots of behind the scenes images from Ingen and Jurassic World:<br />

<br />
We have a more substantial redesign for Thunderbird 2, which now seems more boxy and industrial. Thunderbird 2 was never exactly elegant; I think this new version is even less so than before, having lost it's distinctive curve shape somewhat - But in the process it communicates its pure functionality at the core of the International Rescue operations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd0eA8SR06l4iqmD4IbShXJFLqbA1K4pXnsx0wzbtA3fxEhpY9mQ4qG66CnnPe5QVNyxOwOaclel18aS6aBVQ2F6dQknqlMGtf9GVY2-erJ8PgrS-Bwpk-iekrE67T5lKvbXt6xrAkormu/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Thunderbird+3+animation.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd0eA8SR06l4iqmD4IbShXJFLqbA1K4pXnsx0wzbtA3fxEhpY9mQ4qG66CnnPe5QVNyxOwOaclel18aS6aBVQ2F6dQknqlMGtf9GVY2-erJ8PgrS-Bwpk-iekrE67T5lKvbXt6xrAkormu/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Thunderbird+3+animation.gif" height="223" width="400" /></a></div><b>Thunderbird 3</b><br />
<br />
The space going Thunderbird 3 has also been beefed up; not nearly as fragile looking as the original. The new look definitely tells us it's a powerful spacecraft.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMHfKvHaA1hDVSkHXR0M6YsZEUMVPD3kHIhKZnRWpSt4eoRAeNGysLetcuvj9wLEjeJJVPU5pMXTOPh3B8QiEgvdYpOsyg-kgmt-9-XCzLItmIbxur8NnDM7Lvmm6dPyV0LAyAph7p76n/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Thunderbird+4+animation.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMHfKvHaA1hDVSkHXR0M6YsZEUMVPD3kHIhKZnRWpSt4eoRAeNGysLetcuvj9wLEjeJJVPU5pMXTOPh3B8QiEgvdYpOsyg-kgmt-9-XCzLItmIbxur8NnDM7Lvmm6dPyV0LAyAph7p76n/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Thunderbird+4+animation.gif" height="223" width="400" /></a></div><b>Thunderbird 4</b><br />
<br />
The submarine, Thunderbird 4, has lost its distinctive shovel, but probably looks better for it! The rest of the design sticks very close to the original, with just a few tweaks, and some more curves. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2wk8UQFIcxgKdNbK67LP3XZhCMS_gtBPsPIHfqTmI3XtMNf5ceI5eLihU2sf9LKvueBBkiVMaRn1EodGyrrnalnnA1f2cGYtxzzgW_a3Dnq4ej52XcdthTyeUoJqcjVmV3AiB0MVu8X7e/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Thunderbird+5+animation.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2wk8UQFIcxgKdNbK67LP3XZhCMS_gtBPsPIHfqTmI3XtMNf5ceI5eLihU2sf9LKvueBBkiVMaRn1EodGyrrnalnnA1f2cGYtxzzgW_a3Dnq4ej52XcdthTyeUoJqcjVmV3AiB0MVu8X7e/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Thunderbird+5+animation.gif" height="223" width="400" /></a></div><b>Thunderbird 5</b><br />
<br />
And finally the most radical redesign is also my favourite. While retaining the distinctive ring shape of the original Thunderbird 5, the new space station looks a lot more "realistic" while retaining a futuristic sci-fi edge.<br />
<br />
<br />
The series promises to feature a mix of physical models and CGI work. As best I can tell that means the settings and the vehicles will be "real", with the characters produced by animation. You can get a nice feel for just how real the locations are from this image of the new Tracy Island:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4klRrAVx4x1ZrDf71BJ0fkGq-557vD_gs7xXsf3c-kDb2yUlpsGmLn60rqiOs1vNVi6B8hnRNBhW60nX18Sqg5I63Cvw0oC-HzCsnemN0CGYOzzYO9SSrhXUsZ00EHjEVj0UVcmZydGd/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Tracy+Island.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4klRrAVx4x1ZrDf71BJ0fkGq-557vD_gs7xXsf3c-kDb2yUlpsGmLn60rqiOs1vNVi6B8hnRNBhW60nX18Sqg5I63Cvw0oC-HzCsnemN0CGYOzzYO9SSrhXUsZ00EHjEVj0UVcmZydGd/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Tracy+Island.png" height="198" width="400" /></a></div><br />
There is also this teaser image of the CGI Tracy brothers, who retain their blue uniforms, but get a high-tech make-over to give their sashes some functionality:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTHr0EeLISHFQ-0OCLFxJWdbXoWFPQTSRBcRROYEDav6hcNJnwdwWqzJyJW-9CYXkoUY48yxYBQIZD1j3dHPc2hloP_apus1EEDUBBIVOv51oW6lx177u1fL5Cju4fjnmBlY765mrjkfax/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Tracy+Island+Tracy+brothers+teaser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTHr0EeLISHFQ-0OCLFxJWdbXoWFPQTSRBcRROYEDav6hcNJnwdwWqzJyJW-9CYXkoUY48yxYBQIZD1j3dHPc2hloP_apus1EEDUBBIVOv51oW6lx177u1fL5Cju4fjnmBlY765mrjkfax/s1600/Thunderbirds+Are+Go+Tracy+Island+Tracy+brothers+teaser.jpg" height="400" width="333" /></a></div><br />
Finally this last images comes from <a href="https://itvstudios.com/programmes/thunderbirds-the-making-of-w-t">ITV's listing for a making of program</a> that is set to air when the series begins. It too appears to demonstrate the wonderful miniature work being done on the series. Lot the vehicle which appears to be hovering on rockets above the building:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD5UP5EGPErLp9-4ZWyK37Qu29ei4E9p-SVLNIed2nxerXNnFIH7p8SoBFIPzsI3-Lt_cyvsNjTtYgc2vPQzIPtD3-vfUIhwtLkBRECRrJ0BVOw9gphVVCObCg22Y_WUOjZtqkOWqaC0zj/s1600/Making+of+Thunderbirds+Are+Go.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD5UP5EGPErLp9-4ZWyK37Qu29ei4E9p-SVLNIed2nxerXNnFIH7p8SoBFIPzsI3-Lt_cyvsNjTtYgc2vPQzIPtD3-vfUIhwtLkBRECRrJ0BVOw9gphVVCObCg22Y_WUOjZtqkOWqaC0zj/s1600/Making+of+Thunderbirds+Are+Go.jpg" height="252" width="400" /></a></div><br />
At twenty-two minutes an episode, we won't get quite the same mini-movie experience of the original fifty-minute adventures, but I get the feeling already from these teasers it will still look as amazing and cinematic as the originals. Apparently the music is also seeking to emulate the original, which if successful will only reinforce what looks like it will be a wonderful series.<br />

They screen a teaser video at Comic Con, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/1880215/skull-island-king-kong-comic-con/">MTV</a> have this description:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">The short clip raced over a restless ocean, then through the foliage and rocks on a deserted island, before the giant gorilla was finally revealed from the shadows.<br />
<br />
“Being alone in the wilderness, it had gone mad,” a voiceover intoned. “It looked at you with a vengeful aspect.”</blockquote>The clip would seem to imply Kong will be featured, I wonder how this will work around the main Kong story. The film is set for release in 2016, but no other details have been announced yet.<br />

<br />
It's rumoured <i>Jurassic World</i> will be taking us back is Isla Numblar, where a now successful and fully operational dinosaur resort has opened. Now concept art from the production gives us a look at what the future of Jurassic Park might look like, and it's quite spectacular. <a href="http://thefilmstage.com/news/jurassic-world-opens-for-business-with-first-concept-art/">The Film Stage</a> reports these images are from artist <a href="http://www.nathanschroeder.net/">Nathan Schroeder</a>:<br />

Stunning! The new design seems to play off the original Jurassic Park visitor center, giving it a futuristic Calatrava-esque flare. If the final design is even half as impressive as this, the film is going to look amazing! Here's a look at what we might see inside:<br />

Rowling will be scripting the films, which will presumably focus on the magical animals of the title. The first story will be set in New York, seventy years before the events of the <i>Harry Potter</i> series. Here's what Rowling had to say in <a href="http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/notyetamovie/news/?a=86916">Warner Brothers' press release</a>:<br />
<blockquote>It all started when Warner Bros. came to me with the suggestion of turning ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of ‘Fantastic Beasts,’ realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.<br />
<br />
As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros.<br />
<br />
Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry’s gets underway.<br />
<br />
I particularly want to thank Kevin Tsujihara of Warner Bros. for his support in this project, which would not have happened without him. I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about and this is it.</blockquote><a name='more'></a><br />

Released on the 12th of June 2015, in 3D (spared no expense) will be <b><i>Jurassic World</i></b>. The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=607607699284117&set=a.201423149902576.52889.170889472955944"><i>Jurassic Park</i> Facebook page</a> posted the blue tinted teaser logo for the film.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/universal-sets-jurassic-world-release-for-june-12-2015/">Deadline</a> reports that the film will be directed by Colin Trevorrow, with a script from Trevorrow and Derek Connolly - The two have worked together on several films, although none I am familiar with. Steven Spielberg will be producing, along side Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley.<br />
<br />
I love <i>Jurassic Park</i>, and <i>The Lost World</i>, and, well, <i>Jurassic Park 3</i> has some nice dinosaurs in it... Lets hope <i>Jurassic World</i> can do justice to the earlier films. Hurry up 2015!<br />
<br />
So blue tint, that surely means we're going to see pre-historical aquatic reptiles (not dinosaurs!) this time? And "Jurassic World", sounds like a new take on the original dinosaur theme park idea...<br />

The central ship in the above image is the hero ship of the series, the Ghost. <a href="http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Star_Wars_Rebels_CEII_Pins_Reveal_Rebel_Ship_Schematics_153460.asp">TheForce.net</a> uncovered a schematic of the ship, from <a href="http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/1976/01/05/join-the-rebellion/">a url</a> hidden on badges given away at the convention:<br />

If you missed it before, here's a video <a href="http://starwars.com/watch/star-wars-rebels-announce.html">StarWars.com</a> posted a couple of months ago, with executive producer Dave Filoni talking a little about the series:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="347" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/0bdfFos3PYQ" width="616"></iframe><br />
<br />
I was, and still am, rather annoyed that <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/lm/R12PP1I78ORUCC/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20">The Clone Wars</a> </i>was so abruptly cancelled. The successful and enjoyable series should have been allowed to wrap things up, even if they did want to move on to something else. But I'm also quite pleased this is what they've moved on to, as it looks and sounds great, and many of the same people are involved in it. Hopefully they'll have the opportunity to pick up some of <i>The Clone Wars</i>' dangling threads while having fun exploring this new era.<br />
<br />
On an extra cool note, there will inevitably be new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&keywords=star%20wars%20lego&linkCode=ur2&qid=1375108199&rh=n%3A165793011%2Ck%3Astar%20wars%20lego&rnid=2941120011&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>Star Wars</i> Lego</a> sets to accompany the series, including surely a McQuarrie-esque stormtrooper minifigure or two! I really hope they find some reason to give a few of the stormtroopers lightsabers, as seen in the original concept art.<br />

Definitely one of the best things there is.<br />
<br />
And you know who's captivating, irresistibly watchable, and stupendously talented? Benedict Cumberbatch for sure; who doesn't LOVE <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=Sherlock&linkCode=ur2&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3ASherlock&tag=8of5multiverse-20&url=search-alias%3Daps"><i>Sherlock</i></a>? And, controversial, better Khan than the original Khan, I think so.<br />
<br />
And you know what else is great? Aliens, because they mean sci-fi, and sci-fi is awesome.<br />
<br />
Well, if you agree with all the above, you're in luck, because those three things are soon to be combined, in one of those sequences of images they call a movie. A movie called <i>Absolutely Anything</i>. Here's how <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2013/first-colorful-poster-for-monty-python-comedy-absolutely-anything/">First Showing</a> describe this film:<br />
<blockquote>The Pythons are voicing key roles as a group of aliens who endow an earthling (Benedict Cumberbatch) with the power to do "absolutely anything" to see what a mess he'll make of things — which is precisely what happens.</blockquote>Also there's a talking dog voiced by Robin Williams. I like Robin Williams, less enamoured by talking dogs... But am willing to chance it. Here's a poster:<br />

They have also released a poster, which I'm less impressed by, it seems a bit bland. Then again, I suppose it's meant to be showing a dead landscape, so maybe that's half the point...<br />

The two sequels will be set a couple of decades after the original, with the next generation of humanity dealing with the return of the aliens:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">The humans knew that one day the aliens would come back. And they know that the only way you can really travel in space is through wormholes. So for the aliens, it could take two or three weeks, but for us that’s 20 or 25 years.</blockquote>Emmerich apparently already has an art team working on visualising the alternate timeline of post-alien invasion Earth:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">It’s a changed world. It’s like parallel history. [Humans] have harnessed all this alien technology. We don’t know how to duplicate it because it’s organically-grown technology, but we know how to take an antigravity device and put it in a human airplane.</blockquote>Two scripts co-written by Dean Devlin have apparently already been written, with a mix of characters from the first film and new guys:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">It’s still some of the same characters, but also new younger characters; it’s a little bit like the sons take over.</blockquote>Emmerich also commented on the general shape of the two films depicting the second invasion:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">The first one ends on a little success, but only enough to give the humans hope. And then in the second one they free themselves again [from the aliens].</blockquote>What do you think? I am intrigued by the idea of post-alien invasion technological advancement, but also cautious: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WQWPKA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000WQWPKA&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>Independence Day</i></a> is a pleasingly formed, happily ever after. Is it worth the risk of a less satisfying sequel? Lets hope these live up to the original.<br />

I for one am intrigued and excited about the charming and curiously ever-dying new companion, Clara Oswin Oswald. The first episode is called <i>The Bells of Saint John</i>, and sounds like it will feature an interesting new alien threat. Here's the official synopsis, and movie-style poster:<br />
<blockquote>The Doctor’s search for Clara Oswald brings him to modern day London, where wifi is everywhere. Humanity lives in a wifi soup. But something dangerous is lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them. As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, the Doctor races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy.</blockquote>Ahead of that the BBC have released a really cute prequel minisode, enjoy:<br />

<blockquote>The Doctor and Clara land on a damaged Russian Submarine in 1983 as it spirals out of control into the ocean depths. An alien creature is loose on board, having escaped from a block of Arctic ice.

Seeing it again at cinema scale when <i>Jurassic Park</i> was re-released last year was just amazing, and I can't wait to try it out in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4804KS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00B4804KS&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20">3D</a> this year.<br />
<br />
Now artist <a href="http://www.tacobelvedere.com/2013/02/its-dinosaur-timed-release.html">Mark Englert</a> has made an equally magnificent print of this wonderful scene. It will be available for one day only, starting later today, so <a href="http://www.tacobelvedere.bigcartel.com/product/it-s-a-dinosaur">don't miss out</a>:<br />

On June 13th, 2014.<br />
<br />
Steven Spielberg is set to produce a script by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LWZW4W/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004LWZW4W"><i>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</i></a>' Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. It will be shot in 3D, and that, is all we know. Given Spielberg just paused production on what would of been his next film, an adaptation of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307740803/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0307740803"><i>Robopocalypse</i></a>, hopefully he will return to direct!<br />
<br />
Whatever form it takes, a new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KKXMSI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004KKXMSI"><i>Jurassic Park</i></a> film fills me excitement! Although hopefully nothing has remained from the <a href="http://io9.com/5950364/scrapped-concept-art-from-jurassic-park-4-shows-off-insane-dinosaur-commandos">previously aborted dino-super-soldiers idea</a>...<br />

Something of a mixed blessing, as you will see in the pictures below, even Best Lock's own PR department can't make their bricks stick together very smoothly, but they are <i>Stargate</i> Lego-like toys, which makes them at least a little bit cool...<br />
<br />
At the time four sets had appeared, but it seems that was just the tip of the iceberg, as various retailers are now offering a much wider range, including minifigure sets, minifigure scale playsets and ships, and mini ships as well. Here's a run-down of the sets so far available:<br />

I was a little sceptical when the first few of the modern wave of 3D films came along, I thought at first it was all a gimmick. However I have quickly turned around, and am now an enthusiastic supporter of 3D cinema, and even got myself a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&pf_rd_t=101&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=ur2&bbn=172659&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=1410015062&pf_rd_s=left-1&camp=1789&pf_rd_r=02BB2FXCKEA8HFK1TT1D&creative=390957&rh=n%3A172659%2Cp_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A2443317011%2Cn%3A172282%2Cn%3A%21493964%2Cn%3A1266092011&pf_rd_i=2248313011&page=1">3D TV</a>! I think all three of technologies I'm writing about here are aiming to make cinema feel like a more "realistic" experience, and of all three I think 3D goes the furthest to making that happen, but is also the most distinct and visually impactful as an art-form. Watching <i>Life of Pi</i>, I was blown away by the 3D; it completely sucks you into the world of the film, and makes the stunning and fantastical visuals come alive.<br />

As film makers grow more familiar with 3D as part of their movie making I hope they learn to use it to such impressive effect more often. Aside from <i>Life of Pi</i> I can only think of a few examples where I felt similarly as dazzled; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G6009K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004G6009K"><i>Tangled</i></a>, specifically the sequence with the chinese lanterns; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MQWJPG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8ofsguitothet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005MQWJPG"><i>How to Train Your Dragon</i></a>, most effectively in some of the flying scenes; and a few shots in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XBCJ34/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8ofsguitothet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008XBCJ34"><i>Avatar</i></a>.<br />
<br />
<i>Life of Pi</i> also excelled in its use of 3D to make it a more visceral experience. I'm talking here mainly about the tiger - I'm not a horror fan, so don't know how this compares to some of the vile imagery of that genre, but I felt genuine fear when experiencing some of the tiger attacks in <i>Life of Pi</i>. The 3D makes it seem so real, so unavoidable, it was like being attacked by a real animal. I guess our ancient instincts to fear dangerous animals are still very much ingrained in me because I felt those scenes like nothing I've ever felt before on screen. And I certainly wasn't the only one, I have never experienced such incredible reactions from a cinema audience before seeing <i>Life of Pi</i>.<br />
<br />
The 3D in <i>The Hobbit</i>, while flawless, mostly did not move me nearly as much. Where it was effective, and in common with <i>Life of Pi</i>, was in wide landscape shots, where you really felt a sense of scale. In <i>Life of Pi</i> they contributed to a feeling of isolation in the empty ocean. In <i>The Hobbit</i> they make it seem grand and beautiful. You thought those stunning shots of Middle-earth throughout <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HEWNBO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004HEWNBO"><i>The Lord of the Rings </i>trilogy</a> were impressive? Well try those sort of shots in 3D from <i>The Hobbit</i> and you have some really breathtaking epic imagery.<br />
<br />
One thing I am quite curious about with the 3D from <i>The Hobbit </i>is how on earth they made it work on any false perspective shots they did - Where Gandalf is seen much larger than a hobbit or dwarf due to placing him nearer the camera, but filming the actors in the same shot. I know they used this trick to great effect in <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>, and am curious whether filming in 3D meant they had to do more compositing of separate shots this time because of the effects shooting in 3D must have on a false perspective shot. Guess I'll wait for the bluray extra features to find out that!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaz-pY0oZvThU9mPnKFRrXU2nw7UNbOnVk7Y7P8Gzg4CAMYmVz0fositvvvVA7EYRou4us2OdPLbt81rl18GaZnM5aOZkJ25t7q17Nm-2wqiRPQWmDcnW-hkJm2J08RHOoGVT0eoHyQdI/s1600/Star+Trek+Into+Darkness+poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaz-pY0oZvThU9mPnKFRrXU2nw7UNbOnVk7Y7P8Gzg4CAMYmVz0fositvvvVA7EYRou4us2OdPLbt81rl18GaZnM5aOZkJ25t7q17Nm-2wqiRPQWmDcnW-hkJm2J08RHOoGVT0eoHyQdI/s320/Star+Trek+Into+Darkness+poster.jpg" width="216" /></a></div><i>The Hobbit</i>, <i>Life of Pi</i>, and <i>Star Trek</i> are all heavy on visual effects, which being mostly computer generated can be made natively 3D relatively easily. Of the three I believe <i>Star Trek</i> was the only on that wasn't actually filmed on 3D cameras as well though. I am generally very skeptical of post-converting 3D; if you're going to do 3D, do it properly I feel. However I thought the job they did in the short section of <i>Star Trek</i> I've seen so far was pretty darned good. I'm still not sure if I want to endorse post-conversion by seeing the whole film in 3D, but what I've seen so far did make quite good use of 3D.<br />
<br />
<b>IMAX</b><br />
<br />
I had only seen one IMAX film before, a mesozoic documentary, I think it was probably the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014VPFN6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0014VPFN6"><i>Sea Monsters</i></a> film. I can't say I was all that impressed by the MASSIVE SCREEN format. And seeing my first feature film in the said format didn't really impress me that much either. It's bigger, but, you can still see you're in a big room with flat screen, with a black edge around it and a bunch of people in front of you. It just didn't feel that special. If the aim with IMAX to help make cinema more "real" or immersive, it just didn't work for me.<br />
<br />
When I saw <i>Life of Pi</i> a couple of weeks later on a normal screen it did, for the first few minutes, feel kind of small, having recently experienced cinema in huge scale. But that was quickly forgotten. So I'm not convinced IMAX is anything to make a fuss about. It's just, bigger.<br />
<br />
<b>HFR</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEity2scBJhgq2wlljNnP7oyGswwYZSF7sRYKZCPB3fsQX3Yg93R3c5wgPhH1OzSjDPRM1x8WB7VMPLXaH0g9hkU7bCQKHEduXX81NcAz1Y3FEXf-eqb9HEzp98t0MZdJgxATFH96OtbKruo/s1600/The+Hobbit+An+Unexpected+Journey+poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEity2scBJhgq2wlljNnP7oyGswwYZSF7sRYKZCPB3fsQX3Yg93R3c5wgPhH1OzSjDPRM1x8WB7VMPLXaH0g9hkU7bCQKHEduXX81NcAz1Y3FEXf-eqb9HEzp98t0MZdJgxATFH96OtbKruo/s320/The+Hobbit+An+Unexpected+Journey+poster.jpg" width="216" /></a></div>The really new, and seemingly quite controversial, development: <i>The Hobbit </i>has broken new ground in film making by doubling the frame rate. This means rather than having a flow of still images just fast enough to trick you into thinking the sequence of stills is in fact a moving image, we get twice as many images in the sequence. As a result everything is smoother and crisper, because the motion blur has been cut in half.<br />
<br />
I'm sure many of you have read the same negative reviews that decry the HFR experience as I had. So I was ready to be unimpressed. But, I was not unimpressed. I was in fact, impressed. In those landscape shots mentioned about, and in action sequences, everything being so smooth and sharp is noticeable. In a good way I feel. The incredible scenery in The Hobbit in smooth crisp 3D is simply beautiful - I'm sure the New Zealand tourist board is once again jumping for joy at glowing advert for their country this film is!<br />
<br />
Where I can see the cause for concern is in a limited number of shots that were clearly done in sets rather than in real world locations of with CGI convincing enough to make them seem real. In just a few shots the level of realism afforded by the HFR picture was too real for filming a not real thing. You could tell they were sets, and you could tell they were artificially lit. I am sure if HFR takes off then the set dressers and lighters will learn to refine their craft even further to make those sets seem more real. Until then I think the slightly less than perfect exceptions are worth baring for the majesty of seeing the rest of Middle-earth in the detail HFR allows.<br />
<br />
It was quite interesting to experience HFR in <i>The Hobbit</i> next to the preview from <i>Star Trek Into Darkness</i>, because it highlights how very different the two films are. The new <i>Star Trek</i> films are proudly cinematic; they've got lens flares, and shaking and roaming cameras, continuous sets, etc. <i>Star Trek </i>fully embraces cinema as an art form with its own particular visual queues that make it as distinct as an other medium. <i>The Hobbit</i> on the other hand, shot in perfect 3D, with the hyper-realism of HFR seems determined not so much to be an example of cinema, but a window into Middle-earth. I don't think this is a bad thing, I did enjoy the film, but I do appreciate different media embracing their own values - I don't really like movies pretending to be comics, I'd rather paintings look like paintings than photographs, and maybe I don't need <i>The Hobbit</i> to pretend it's sucking me into the real world of Middle-earth. I'm not sure though that this can all be attributed to HFR; the makers of <i>Star Trek</i> aren't afraid to let the viewer know this story is told through a camera, I'm sure they could shoot through a HFR camera and still have it come out as stylised, while enjoying the benefits HFR gave <i>The Hobbit</i>.<br />
<br />
<b>The Films</b><br />
<br />
A finally some general thoughts on the films:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKBatn-vM06yrT3Xk_G7OVAl7hgdKuogoI9kmPn5au_Va9cBz_UoaH9hOMrtwuvF1fRd-lc0-lO_NDWN3fIv9B_lIUU2itK-ZL4kyq4YUKJ3HSpJy08_GLZtPptHOeqgeRSQZ8dI3dvum6/s1600/Life+of+Pi+whale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKBatn-vM06yrT3Xk_G7OVAl7hgdKuogoI9kmPn5au_Va9cBz_UoaH9hOMrtwuvF1fRd-lc0-lO_NDWN3fIv9B_lIUU2itK-ZL4kyq4YUKJ3HSpJy08_GLZtPptHOeqgeRSQZ8dI3dvum6/s320/Life+of+Pi+whale.jpg" width="199" /></a></div>As you might have guessed from my gushing above, I thought <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AB0Z88S/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00AB0Z88S"><i>Life of Pi</i></a> was truly phenomenal. It is absolutely beautiful, and I think makes the most effective use of 3D seen so far; it was integral to the experience of this film. It is also a delightful story, with a charming central character and quite funny at times. It's one of the best films of 2012, so don't miss it!<br />
<br />
I'm in two minds about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059XTU22/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0059XTU22"><i>The Hobbit</i></a>, I did enjoy, a lot. It was beautiful, funny, had outstanding performances, especially from Martin Freeman, and stealing the show Andy Serkis ever so briefly as Gollum. I even enjoyed the songs, something I found annoying as hell in the books! It is a long film, but not in any sort of annoying way; it's sort of like going on holiday to Middle-earth, which is a beautiful holiday to go on. In that way it sort of reminds me of the wonderful film, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BZ5AMS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004BZ5AMS"><i>Monsters</i></a>; it's a bit meandering, but you become so immersed in the world you just sit back and soak it all in. As a film on it's own, I think it's too long and ponderous<i>, b</i>ut already being invested in the characters and the world they live in, it's just like going home, which is nice.<br />
<br />
Of course as a devout trekkie I cannot wait for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=Star%20Trek%20Into%20Darkness&url=search-alias%3Daps"><i>Star Trek Into Darkness</i></a>. The preview was exciting, funny, and visually rich. I am also so very excited about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006K1IIHA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=8of5multiverse-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006K1IIHA"><i>Sherlock</i></a>'s Benedict Cumberbatch playing the bad guy, he's already stolen the trailers and I'm sure will shine throughout the film.<br />

Lucas cites a desire to ensure the longevity of <i>Star Wars</i> as his impetus for the sale:<br />
<blockquote>For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next. It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I've always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime. I'm confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy, and having a new home within the Disney organization, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come. Disney's reach and experience give Lucasfilm the opportunity to blaze new trails in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, and consumer products.</blockquote>Disney certainly aren't shy about playing with the <i>Star Wars</i> brand either; their first announcement upon the acquisition to that a new movie, <i>Episode VII</i>, will be coming to screens as soon as 2015, with more to follow - In fact <a href="http://theforce.net/latestnews/story/One_New_Star_Wars_Film_Every_Two_To_Three_Years_148647.asp">TheForce.net report</a> plans for films every two to three years! Plus even more new <i>Star Wars</i> TV series. George Lucas will continue his association with <i>Star Wars</i> as a creative consultant. You can read the full press release about Disney's purchase, <a href="http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Disney_Buying_Lucasfilm_Plans_New_Star_Wars_Film_148646.asp">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are Lucas and Kennedy talking a little about the whole thing:<br />
<br />
<iframe width="616" height="347" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YyqlTi7lkhY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
I am cautiously optimistic about this. Since <a href="http://www.amazon.com/lm/R12PP1I78ORUCC/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>The Clone Wars</i></a> relaunched <i>Star Wars</i> on TV, and with more TV plans already in the works, it's been interesting in recent years to start to see <i>Star Wars</i> as an expanding multi-media brand, and not just a film series with some particularly successful tie-in products. Disney have done a pretty good job working with/owning Pixar and Marvel, so perhaps they can be trusted with another distinct production entity under their wing. At the same time I look to Disney's in-house stuff and worry a little - In particular I'm thinking of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MDB71O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007MDB71O&linkCode=as2&tag=8ofsguitothet-20"><i>John Carter</i></a>, which was an absolutely brilliant, stunning, and all round amazing film, which I think could easily have been the next <i>Star Wars</i> itself. Except Disney made a mess with the marketing and the film flopped!<br />
<br />
A new <i>Star Wars</i> film every two years also seems a bit excessive. But I guess it depends how they treat it. <i>Star Wars</i> 7, 8, 9, etc could become tiresome. But if they were to pursue a strategy similar to the Marvel films, and have a myriad of distinct film series within the single <i>Star Wars</i> universe, I think that could get interesting. One can't help but wonder what the future may hold for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NQRE9Q/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000NQRE9Q&linkCode=as2&tag=8ofsguitothet-20"><i>Indiana Jones</i></a> too... So I guess for now, let's hope the force is strong with Disney.<br />

I've not watched the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026L7H20/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0026L7H20&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>The Lord of the Rings</i> trilogy</a> for some time, this really reminds me how very much I enjoyed those films. Cannot wait for this second trilogy.<br />

<br />
Four sets have so far been revealed, based on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TJBNHQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000TJBNHQ&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>SG-1</i></a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WJT5H4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004WJT5H4&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>Atlantis</i></a>. although the largest set is basically a combination of the same things in two of the others. Quite frankly they look amateurish compared to Lego's latest offerings from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/lm/RNV5D4AXD7U92/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>Star Wars</i></a>, or their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/lm/R331YBWETN2I0V/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>Pharaoh's Quest</i></a> line (their most recent Egyptian theme), but, they're <i>Stargate</i> almost-Lego, so I'm still quite excited; I think the Daedalus looks like the best of the bunch:<br />

Perhaps what's most encouraging about this is that at least someone seems to be interesting in the <i>Stargate</i> franchise. What with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=stargate%20fandemonium&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20&url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks">the novels</a> now only coming as ebooks, the last comics publisher managing all of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1606901532/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1606901532&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20">two</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1606901982/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1606901982&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20">miniseries</a>, new <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&keywords=stargate%20big%20finish&linkCode=ur2&qid=1346761978&rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Astargate%20big%20finish&sort=daterank&tag=8of5multiverse-20">audiobooks</a> only just <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/184435637X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=184435637X&linkCode=as2&tag=8of5multiverse-20">starting to appear again</a>, and <a href="http://www.gateworld.net/news/2012/07/more-comments-from-devlin-on-hopes-for-stargate-sequel/">recent talk</a> of rebooting back to the movie continuity, I'm glad there's some glimmer of interest in the TV series still.<br />
<br />
Now the conundrum, buy sub-standard fake Lego with a <i>Stargate</i> flavour, or get a bunch of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/lm/R331YBWETN2I0V/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>Pharaoh's Quest</i></a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=lego%20rattla&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20&url=search-alias%3Daps">snakes</a> from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/lm/R1H6ZWCL1ZZ3HP/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&tag=8of5multiverse-20"><i>Ninjago</i></a>, and some other Lego to make your own proper Lego <i>Stargate</i> stuff?<br />
