| Geek Gear: Humpty Dumpty ‘Tetris’ Posted: 01 Dec 2010 10:17 PM PST  There's a brand new t-shirt design up for sale over at TeeFury, and today's design mixes fairy tales with true geek video game nostalgia. The shirt is called "Told You So," and it takes the Humpty Dumpty fable and begs the question: "Just HOW did Humpty fall off of that wall?" The answer here, happens to be that he was sitting on a wall consisting of classic Nintendo Tetris blocks, and we all know what happens when you fill in a section of Tetris blocks. Silly Humpty. As always, the shirt is available for the flat rate steal of $9, and comes in sizes small, medium, large, and extra large for men and women, as well as a XXL size for the larger gentlemen. If you dig the design, you can go and get your hands on one right now. But remember, this shirt will only available for today, December 2, 2010, until midnight tonight EST. If you miss this one-day bubble, the shirt will be gone forever and you shall weep. [...]      |
| Christopher Nolan Confirms ‘Inception’ Video Game Posted: 01 Dec 2010 07:18 PM PST  We see a lot of video games made based on major movie releases and vice versa, and most of these are pretty forgettable. One of the movies you likely would never ever expect to hear about a video game adaptation for would be Christopher Nolan's mind and physics-bending summer blockbuster, Inception. But according to Nolan, it is happening, though probably not for a long while. While talking to Entertainment Weekly about everything from possible Inception sequels to his new Batman sequel, The Dark Knight Rises, the director confirmed that a game was indeed in the works. Nolan says "I always imagined Inception to be a world where a lot of other stories could take place. At the moment, the only direction we're channeling that is by developing a video game set in the world." He also went on to say that while a sequel isn't out of the question, it's "not something I've given a lot of thought about," but that video games are "something I've wanted to explore." [...]      |
| Christopher Salmon To Adapt Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Price’ Posted: 01 Dec 2010 06:07 PM PST  At the beginning of November, we wrote about a Kickstarter project that was launched, which was to raise money to make a film adaptation of Neil Gaiman's short story, The Price [Read Want To See Neil Gaiman's 'The Price' Get A Film Adaptation? You Can Help Get It Made!]. Aspiring filmmaker Christopher Salmon, who had created an animatic (an animated storyboard mock-up) for his vision of a computer-animated adaptation, set $150,000 as the funding goal for the project, with December 1, 2010 as the deadline. As of yesterday, the funding goal was met -- and exceeded! The final amount raised through the Kickstarter page was $161,774, contributed by 2001 backers, which means Salmon can now follow through on his plans for the adaptation, which, from the start, had the support of Gaiman himself. You can go to the Kickstarter page to see a "thank you" video from Salmon, who talks about his passion for this project and his plans for following through on making the film [...]      |

| ‘Tron: Legacy’ Director Joseph Kosinski Talks Daft Punk Soundtrack Posted: 01 Dec 2010 10:01 AM PST  The Internet public radio station WCRW 89.9 FM has posted an interview on their website from the show Morning Becomes Eclectic in which host Jason Bentley talked with Joseph Kosinski, the director of the upcoming Tron: Legacy, about his collaboration with the French dance music duo Daft Punk and their work on the Tron Legacy Soundtrack. Bentley, who has previously served as the music supervisor for the Matrix trilogy, played a big hand in getting the boys in Daft Punk to score the big-budget sequel. In the interview Kosinski and Bentley talk in great detail about the director's musical influences, how they figured into his vision for the Tron: Legacy score, and his experiences working with Daft Punk. Kosinski also spoke about having the final mix of the score done at Skywalker Ranch, where the mix engineers described it as "the loudest film they had ever mixed music for." ... the mix was a challenge. These are Oscar-winning guys who've done King Kong and Lord of the Rings and all this stuff, I don't think they had ever encountered a score quite like this. It was a challenging thing to get music with this much power to mesh with a sound design that was also equally powerful [...]      |
