Amazing New ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy Posters From Mondo

Posted: 18 Dec 2010 04:28 PM PST



The Alamo Drafthouse's art boutique, Mondo, is back at it again, about to deliver yet another offering of beautiful specialty posters based on popular movies.

Recently, we exclusively debuted one of their designs right here at Geeks of Doom, and there was also their spiffy take on Tron and Tron: Legacy, but today it's back to a galaxy far, far away for three fantastic new designs.

Wired has Mondo's newest posters from artist Olly Moss, which are based on George Lucas's original trilogy, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. The new posters have a simple but colorful and eye-catching design, and many fanboys would trade in their collectible lightsabers to get this on their wall. And unfortunately some may have to do just that, because these limited editions are going to be gone unbelievably fast.

You can see all three new designs by continuing on over to the other side now. [...]

‘Terminator’ Producer Gale Anne Hurd Wants To Save The Franchise

Posted: 18 Dec 2010 01:50 PM PST



We all know things haven't gone so well for The Terminator franchise since James Cameron's incredible sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines wasn't unwatchable, but also wasn't anywhere near what the first two movies were. Then came Terminator: Salvation, the fourth installment directed by McG, which delivered very impressive trailers and a lot of high hopes from fans but ultimately proved unworthy to the tune of millions of furious faithfuls.

Halcyon, the company behind Salvation, went bankrupt not too long after the release of the movie, and the rights to the Terminator franchise were later acquired by another company named Pacificor -- though no future projects have been officially announced at the moment.

So what does Gale Anne Hurd -- co-writer of the original and producer of the first three titles, as well as current producer on AMC's The Walking Dead -- think of what has become of her shared brainchild? Well, she's not too excited about it. [...]

Movie Review: TRON: Legacy

Posted: 18 Dec 2010 08:11 AM PST

Tron Legacy

TRON: Legacy
Directed by Joseph Kosinski
Starring Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde
Rated PG
Walt Disney Pictures
Release date: December 17, 2010

There are plenty of movies that I can point to as being part of my geek DNA, and the original TRON is one of those movies. I have very strong memories of watching the movie as a kid and it helped to make me the sci-fi fan that I am today. So I have been excited by the prospect of TRON: Legacy since the first announcement was made that it was coming. Now, after almost 30 years since the first film, we have the sequel. Does it live up to the original?

In the original TRON, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) was sent into the world inside the computers, and saved that world from the Master Control Program. TRON: Legacy picks up twenty years later. Kevin Flynn has disappeared, leaving his son Sam (Garret Hedlund), an orphan, is desperately holding out hope that his father is still alive. Of course, Sam also gets sent into the computer world, just as his father did before him, and he must track down his father and save the world [...]
