| Comedy Web Series ‘Nerd vs. Geek’ Needs Your Help To Become A Reality Posted: 21 Jun 2012 07:00 PM PDT  Are you a fan of helping artists make their indie projects a reality via Kickstarter and websites like it? It's an addictive hobby, coming together with a bunch of other people, chipping in a few bucks here and there, and seeing someone's dream evolve into a reality. One such project badly in need of your help to reach said reality stage of evolution, is Nerd vs. Geek. And with only a couple of days remaining, it needs quite the push to reach its $16,232 goal.

| ‘Hotel Transylvania’ Trailer: A Human In A Hotel Full Of Monsters; What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Posted: 21 Jun 2012 06:10 PM PDT  No matter how critically panned Adam Sandler's work is, he will always have his fan base supporting him. So don't be surprised to see his fans fill the theaters for Hotel Transylvania, the animated family comedy set in a hotel that specifically caters to monsters, beasts, creatures, and other beings that go bump in the night. Directed by Genndy Taratkovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory) the film reunites Sandler with his That's My Boy co-star Andy Samburg. You can check out the new trailer below [...]      |
| Universal Hires ‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Scribes To Pen ‘Jurassic Park 4′ Posted: 21 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT  Jurassic Park 4 has been a long, long, long-gestating project. It is actually surprising to see that we have gone through a movie without dinosaurs chasing humans as tasty morsels. But for those who have been waiting for so long, their patience has been rewarded. And depending on how you look at it, they have been rewarded in spades. According to Deadline, Universal has hired Rise of the Planet of the Apes writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver to pen the long-awaited Jurassic Park sequel. [...]      |
| ‘Taken 2′ Trailer: Family Feud Between Liam Neeson and Rade Sherbedgia Posted: 21 Jun 2012 04:00 PM PDT  Just when you thought Liam Neeson couldn't kick any more ass to protect his family in Taken, the very group that kidnapped his daughter gives him another reason to do so. The first trailer for Taken 2 has hit the web, and its gives a new meaning to revenge. Check out the trailer below. After spending some time taking down the underground human trafficking group that kidnapped his daughter, Bryan Millis (Neeson) thought that it be nice to spend some quality time with his family. But that very group is now on the hunt looking for a way to hurt Millis. They do this by kidnapping yet another member of Miliis' family, his wife to be exact. Now Maggie Grace must learn from her father to kick ass and save her mother from an angry Rade Sherbedgia who seeks revenge after Millis took his son away from him [...]      |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2012 03:00 PM PDT  The Shadow #3 Written by Garth Ennis Art by Aaron Campbell Colors by Carlos Lopez Letters by Rob Steen The Shadow created by William B. Gibson Covers by Alex Ross, Howard Chaykin, John Cassaday & Stephen Segovia Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: June 20, 2012 Cover Price: $3.99 You know the great thing about The Shadow #3? IT'S ONLY THE THIRD ISSUE! It's only the third issue and we've gotten SO much story!! I can't really imagine how this title is going to read when it gets into the teens. So far each installment has been PACKED with information and storytelling, and this issue is no different. Garth Ennis proves that this is definitely NOT your father's Shadow. Or, actually, your grandfather's Shadow. First off, a lot of times foreign enemies are portrayed as helpless stereotypes. Basically the Star Wars Stormtroopers of history. Not so, here. They are portrayed as cunning, smart, and perfectly capable of destroying the United States and whatever else they plan to conquer. That's the first brilliant part of Ennis' writing [...]      |
| Ted Danson Says ‘Bored To Death’ Movie Is In The Works Posted: 21 Jun 2012 02:00 PM PDT  Some of the shows that HBO has had in the past ended too quickly. Deadwood, Carnivale, and Bored to Death are just to name a few, and while the first two will most likely never hit the big screen, the third could happen. That's right Bored to Death could get the feature film treatment. For those who don't get HBO (including myself) they had to suffer through the wait of it appearing on DVD shelves. But if you still don't know what Bored to Death is, the show is a modern day noir comedy set in New York. It starred Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, and Zach Galifianakis [...]      |
| ‘The Watch’ International Trailer Posted: 21 Jun 2012 01:00 PM PDT  Comedies provide some great counter flicks in a summer that is generally filled with action blockbusters. And Fox will be bringing one of those comdies to us with Akiva Schaffer's The Watch. Originally titled Neighborhood Watch, The Watch centers on a group of a newly founded neighborhood watch group (played by Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, and Richard Ayoade) who accidentally find out that there are plans for an alien invasion. Now a new trailer has arrived to help us get familiar with the neighborhood watch group. Check out the new trailer below. There is a lot of new and hilarious footage to see from this trailer. I especially like how different the members of the neighborhood watch group are when they introduce themselves to each other. Ayoade's expectations from this group is the most hilarious. I can't believe I was actually hesitant to watch this film at first. Now the more I see of it, the more I want to watch it [...]      |
| Watch Now: ‘Dredd’ Packs Some Serious Heat In This First Trailer Posted: 21 Jun 2012 11:58 AM PDT  I hope that mediocre 1995 Judge Dredd movie with Sylvester Stallone hasn't put off the character forever because the first trailer for Dredd has arrived today. You can watch it here below. Directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point) from a script by novelist and screenwriter Alex Garland (Sunshine), Dredd takes us into a grungier Mega City-One straight out of District 9 and pits futuristic lawman Judge Joe Dredd (Karl Urban) and his mind-reading rookie partner Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) against a gang of cutthroats and scumdogs led by drug baroness Ma-Ma, played by Lena Headey of Game Of Thrones and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles [...]      |

| Revealed: What Did David Say To The Engineer In ‘Prometheus’? Posted: 21 Jun 2012 10:00 AM PDT  Warning: Obviously, this post contains spoilers. Ridley Scott's science-fiction film Prometheus has polarized critics and audiences with its complexity, refusing to provide answers and explanations to the film's numerous mysteries and burning questions. One such question is what exactly did David (Michael Fassbender) say to the Engineer to get him so riled up? Did he misspeak? Did he have ulterior motives in translating for Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce) or did he communicate Weyland's commands accurately? With no subtitles provided, it's impossible to know what David said in that creepy ancient language - or it was impossible, until now. Stu Holmes of The Bioscopist interviewed Dr. Anil Biltoo of the SOAS Language Centre in London, who served as the Linguist Teacher on Ridley Scott's Prometheus [...]      |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2012 09:00 AM PDT  Pantha #1 Written by Brandon Jerwa Art by Pow Podrix Colors by Thiago Dal Bello Letters by Marshall Dillon Covers by Sean Chen and Mark Texiera Dynamite Entertainment Release Date: June 13, 2012 Cover Price: $3.99 I've haven't had much exposure to Vampirella other than drooling at her famously scant costume in issues of Wizard when I was a teenager. In 2010, Dynamite Entertainment acquired the rights to Vampirella and began publishing her series soon thereafter. One of her longtime allies, Pantha, gets a spot in the limelight with the debut of her own ongoing series, Pantha. This release is the first move of Dynamite's planned expansion of the Vampirella universe. In ancient times, Sekhmet the Egyptian goddess of war, committed some atrocities. As punishment, Ra separated several of her aspects and sentenced them to eternally roam the Earth, atoning for Sekhmet's sins. Pantha, an immortal shape-shifter, is one of these aspects. In this debut comic, she's investigating a missing persons crime near the Mexican border in New Mexico. What she finds introduces a nemesis long thought dead and a mysterious woman, Mayra, who seems to have some link to Pantha's Egyptian past [...]      |
| Doom Digest: Gary Oldman, The Amazing Spider-Man, Inception, Transformers, The Avengers Posted: 21 Jun 2012 08:01 AM PDT  Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more.

| Watch Now: Donald F. Glut’s ‘Spider-Man’ Fan Film From 1969 Posted: 21 Jun 2012 07:00 AM PDT  The name Donald F. Glut (last named pronounced "gloot") may not be familiar to some of you, but chances are you already know the man's work. Glut is an author, screenwriter, comic book scribe, filmmaker, and an amateur paleontologist. His 1980 novelization of The Empire Strikes Back was a national bestseller and he has written for comics published by Marvel, DC, and Warren Publishing. Glut is widely credited with creating some of the characters and back story for the Masters of the Universe toy line, material that proved useful when the franchise moved into animated television and feature film in the mid-1980's. To this day he continues to hone his craft behind the camera as the director of a series of low-budget sexploitation flicks that you'll usually find on Cinemax or Showtime in the middle of the night. Before he found professional success Glut had achieved minor fame in the horror and sci-fi fan community for something that was very unique in those days. In 1953 after being inspired by a viewing of the monster movie classic The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, Glut began making his own amateur short films dinosaurs, aliens, monsters, and his favorite superheroes of the day including Superman and the Spirit. After graduating from high school he was accepted into the University of Southern California's prestigious film school, the same talent factory that birthed to the world the filmmaking careers of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, George Lucas, and Robert Zemeckis to name but a few. Between 1953 and 1969, Glut made 41 short films, many of which received special praise in the pages of the late Forrest J. Ackerman's beloved genre fan magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland. The last amateur short Glut made was an original Spider-Man adventure where Marvel Comics' wall-crawling crimefighter takes on the nefarious Dr. Lightning.
