Excl: Space Janitors - New 'Star Wars'-Inspired Web Series First Look

Meet the "Space Janitors" - Darby and Mike! We've got a fun exclusive first look today at a new web series starting up in the next few months (premiering on The Escapist on February 24th) called Space Janitors, that is indeed inspired by Star Wars, about two human custodians working on board a battle station for the evil Empire. As they try to hold on to their jobs in the midst of an intergalactic civil war, the series offers a satirical and irreverent view of androids, clones, Dark Lords, and other science-fiction staples. Not only do we have the very first photo from the series, but a look at the teaser and character posters, and much more.

Check This Out: Amazing Fan-Made 'The Incredibles 2' Concept Art

By Alex Billington

Whoa. Calling Mr. Incredible! While we've heard from Brad Bird himself that it's very unlikely, at least for a while, that we'll see The Incredibles 2, one fan has taken on the massive of challenge of possibly hinting at what a sequel could be like. I was a sent an email from Edwin Rhemrev, a "visual development artist", who linked me to his own blog post featuring some Incredibles 2 concept art he created. But he reminds me "it's a fanproject though, so be aware these are not official Pixar images or anything" - indeed. All I had to do was take one look and was stunned, these are amazing, you've got to see them anyway, just to dream...

'We Showed You' - The Oscars' Official Classic Movies Poster Series

By Alex Billington

"We showed you how to be a winner." The Oscars are trying to boost their promotion and they've kicked off a series of posters, not regular size, featuring classic movies that have won various Oscars. Yahoo has been premiering a couple of them, but the full gallery (with 31 of these) can be found on the official Oscars bsite. The series takes off from the idea originally seen on the official poster for the 84th Academy Awards by "Celebrating the Movies". They all feature the tagline "There's a Little Bit of the Movies in All of Us", which is charming, along with a photo and "We Showed You" quote. There's a bunch of these, our favorites below.

Watch: Aaron Sims' Incredible Sci-Fi Short 'Archetype' - The Next D9?

By Alex Billington

"My name is Patrick." This is something you've got to see! I was tipped by reader Josh E. about a sci-fi short on YouTube that I had to watch called Archetype. I decided to check it out and, as he'd promised, it was incredible and already has big numbers on YouTube, but could go even farther and be made into a movie. Archetype was created by effects/animation veteran Aaron Sims, and it's about these huge combat robots in the future, and one that has some sort of a... malfunction. It has a rather brilliant narrative in addition to an incredible world, very impressive work, I thought it was awesome. You do not want to miss seeing this!

Check These Out: Awesome Minimal Vintage 'Alien' Poster Designs

By Alex Billington

It is the year of the return of sci-fi, with Ridley Scott's Prometheus, plus Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity and John Carter, Cloud Atlas, Looper all coming up. That means sci-fi fans are crazy with creativity, and it's pouring out online, for our viewing pleasure. Our friends at GeekTyrant found some awesome vintage poster artwork for Ridley Scott's original 1979 Alien (remember this teaser?) on Behance and they're terrific, I have to share them. The posters were made by designer midnight marauder, based in LA, who has a impressive gallery all-around. I had to share this specific set, in honor of Prometheus as well, as these are all awesome.

Watch: Full Feature Length Fan Documentary 'Raiding the Lost Ark'

By Ethan Anderton

Back in September, we posted the complete collection of fan-made Star Wars Trilogy documentaries from hardcore and passionate franchise lover Jamie Benning. Then towards the end of last year, we highlighted 17-minutes from Benning's work-in-progress, Raiding the Lost Ark, yet another feature length filmumentary, this time highlighting George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's iconic adventure flick Raiders of the Lost Ark which introduced the world to Indiana Jones. Now the film is complete and clocks in at nearly two and a half hours, with a lot of juicy behind-the-scenes footage for Indy fans. Watch it below!

Check Out Mondo's Awesomely Pink Poster for 'Drive' by Ken Taylor

By Alex Billington

My top film of 2011, if I haven't said enough, was Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive, pure perfection in every frame. While the film didn't do well in theaters, I had a feeling it'd become a cult hit and it has, especially as it finally hits Blu-Ray. Since the marketing was incredibly lackluster, fans have created lots of their own art and posters for Drive, and many are quite good. But Mondo has gone the distance and hired Ken Taylor to design the official Mondo Drive poster, for an event that occurred last night in Austin. It has since debuted online and it's as gloriously pink as the logo itself, but awesome. I'm definitely going to try and pick one up!

Get Your Own Hero Glasses When 'The Avengers' Hits Theaters in 3D

By Ethan Anderton

Since the trend of big blockbusters in 3D certainly isn't going anywhere, the time has come to come up with new ways to entice families to spend the extra dollars to see the film in 3D, even if it's one of those converted films that really isn't intended for the format. So, for all you superheroes out there looking for some action from The Avengers in 3D who want a little extra something for the fun, Bad Taste (via Movies.com) got their hands on an image of some promotional 3D glasses that will dress your eyes up like Iron Man (easily the best ones), The Incredible Hulk, Captain America or Thor. See them below!

Impressive New Mondo Poster for Ben Wheatley's 'Kill List' Unveiled

By Alex Billington

Now this is excellent. I get a lot of crap for saying some posters look good, when they're really just typical, Hollywood-style posters. Well, here is something that should prove I can love something that is unlike anything else, a great poster for a film that some of you may not even like. SlashFilm has debuted the new Mondo poster, made by Iron Jaiden, for Ben Wheatley's cult indie horror hit Kill List, which is currently playing on VOD/iTunes if you haven't seen it yet. The the concept behind it, the symbolism, the way it ties in with the weirdness of the film, it's a stunning poster and I'm happy to mix up the Hollywood norm with this.

Matthew Broderick Back as Ferris Bueller in Super Bowl Commercial

By Ethan Anderton

While there's been rumblings that a sequel to the John Hughes classic comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off might actually get off the ground, I think we're all hoping that the film just quietly goes away. However, for those who just want a little taste of a grown up Ferris Bueller, you may want to feast your eyes on this new Super Bowl commercial for the Honda CRV featuring Matthew Broderick (kind of) reprising his role as everyone's favorite righteous dude. Directed by The Hangover helmer Todd Phillips, it puts a fun modern spin on some of the original film's more iconic moments, and works as a fun commercial. Watch!

Watch: Amusing Blooper Reel for 'The Artist' Spreading the Laughter

By Alex Billington

Oh, how funny! The Artist is poised to most likely win Best Picture at the Oscars in just a few weeks, and although there's somewhat of a backlash against it (which I just don't get at all), it's a wonderful film full of cinematic joy and an immense appreciation for Hollywood past. As one final glimpse at how funny this film is, Allocine (via SlashFilm) recently posted a blooper reel from the film, which includes a lot of amusing silent B&W moments. A lot of them involve the adorable Jack Russell terrier Uggie (who just retired from acting) and it has plenty of prat falls and much more, but this is quite amusing to watch. Check it out below!

Check This Out: Cool Fan-Made 'Dark Knight Rises' Credit Sequence

By Ethan Anderton

We're still waiting for another trailer for The Dark Knight Rises to surface, but a read pointed out that franchise fan Doğan Can Gündoğdu has crafted something that just might whet your appetite. Though there haven't been any opening credit sequences in either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight, Can Gündoğdu has put together quite a cool opening for the film. It feels like it's from a different director, not within Nolan's style, and could actually be used as the opening for a gritty new Batman crime series instead. We probably won't see any credit sequence in the anticipated, but this is still pretty awesome. Watch it!
