We’re currently loving Vintage Beat by Joe Penna, also known as Mystery Guitar Man, a clever compilation of film clips from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s that are all connected together with a danceable soundtrack. Happy Monday 🙂
For The Love Of Spock is an upcoming documentary, directed by Adam Nimoy, that both celebrates the 50th anniversary of Star Trek and reflects on the inspiring life of Spock, actor and father Leonard Nimoy. With Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the Star Trek reboot films, narrating the documentary, For The Love Of Spock is set for release sometime in 2016. Looking forward to this one 🙂
“The Old New World” by Alexey Zakharov is a fantastic animation that uses historic photos of major U.S. cities to travel back to the early 20th century via an elaborate CG steampunk time machine. Love it! 🙂
Looking forward to Disney’s film adaptation of the much-loved Roald Dahl novel The BFG. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Ruby Barnhill as Sophie, this highly anticipated film features the voices of Mark Rylance as The BFG plus Bill Hader and Jemaine Clement as giants Bloodbottler and Fleshlumpeater. In Australia, The BFG will be released in cinemas on 30th June 2016. This should be a big hit! 🙂
Brooklyn NY filmmaker, animator, and musician, Andy Kennedy imagines what your nights look like while you’re dreaming (or having nightmares) with his surreal and mesmerising animated short film ‘Slow Wave’. Awesome stuff! 🙂
We’re loving this awesome supercut tribute to the best tracksuits worn in movies by Travis Greenwood, who teamed up with video editor Robert Jones, creating “Leisure On The Lens”. Nailed it! 🙂
High-Rise: In the newest trailer for the anticipated film High-Rise, Tom Hiddleston stars as Dr. Robert Laing, the newest resident in a high-tech, luxury skyscraper whose apartment location places him amongst the privileged upper class living the ‘High-Life’, literally and figuratively. However, as power outages become more frequent and building flaws emerge, particularly on the lower floors, the regimented social strata begins to fall apart and the building becomes a battlefield in a literal class war. Looking forward to this one 🙂
Creed: Adding to their Trailer Mix playlist, Mashable Watercooler have created an awesome new trailer for the Rocky film series sequel, Creed, that imagines what the movie would have looked like if it were produced as a VHS home video release in the 1990s. Funny ‘caus it’s true – love it! 🙂
Loving Vincent: We love this first trailer for the upcoming Loving Vincent, an impressive short film in tribute to Vincent van Gogh, which was made with twelve oil paintings per second and achieved by over one hundred painters. Conceived by Polish directors Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman, every painter had to follow three week’s intensive training to learn the style of the famous painter and master various stop motion software. Production of the film continues until late August 2016.
Poster Art: Just stumbled across this little gem – a video charting the progression of some Academy Award-winning Best Picture poster art, from the early 20th century to present. Very cool 🙂
