Oscars: To celebrate the Oscars 2016, Toscano Bricks have recreated the 2016 ‘Best Picture’ nominees in LEGO – The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, The Revenant, Room, Spotlight. Very clever – enjoy! 🙂
PACMAN: Inspired by the 1979 cult gang film The Warriors, ‘PAC-MAN: Come Out to Play’ is a gritty live-action short film of the classic Pac-Man arcade game created by Australian movie studio, Fury Fingers. Rocking a late 70s/early 80s inspired track, PACMAN takes fight choreography cues from Jackie Chan to give the film a fun and retro 80s feel. Awesome work – love it! 🙂
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory: Ryan Shukis has created this awesome modern thriller trailer for the classic 1971 musical fantasy film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Still one of our favourite films – Great work! 🙂
Quentin Tarantino: Editor, filmmaker and self-confessed cinephile Jacob T. Swinney just created an awesome montage comparing the visual references of Quentin Tarantino with the original films including scenes from Psycho, Citizen Kane, Miller’s Crossing, Django, Metropolis and many more. Quentin Tarantino is a true movie lover and does not hesitate to pay tribute to scenes, actors, and directors in his own films, replicating exact moments from a variety of genres and smashing them together to create his own distinct vision. This video is so cool and it’s great to finally know the exact film some of Tarantino’s most memorable scenes are referencing – enjoy! 🙂
Star Trek Beyond: It must be trailer season because the shorts for the 2016 big budget blockbusters are coming in thick and fast this week. Today it’s Star Trek Beyond, which we believe was leaked so they had no choice but to release it early. Starring Idris Elba, Chris Pine, Simon Pegg, Zach Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Anton Yelchin and Karl Urban, this third instalment in the current reboot (not directed by J.J. Abrams btw) is set to hit cinemas on 22nd July 2016.
The first trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence, sequel to the 1996 sci-fi disaster movie Independence Day has just dropped! Directed by Roland Emmerich and featuring Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe and Sela Ward, this long-awaited follow up hits cinemas on 24th June 2016. Will be interesting to see where they go with this one.
So toymaker Beeline Creative have decided to pay tribute to Quentin Tarantino’s cult classic by creating Pulp Fiction Explicit Talking Figures. This collection, available on Amazon for $50, is made up of four figures including Jules Winnfield, Vincent Vega, Jimmie Dimmick, and Butch with each one able to blurt out twelve uncensored quotes from the film. These are the best. Christmas. gift. ever. – gimme, gimme, gimme! 🙂
Finally, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will battle Bebop and Rocksteady in the first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of Shadows which also introduces the character of Casey Jones played by Arrow star Stephen Amell. The second film, which at this stage looks way better than the first one, also stars returning characters Megan Fox as April O’Neil plus Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick and will hit cinemas on 3rd June 2016. Cowabunga, dudes! 😉
