An amazing 4 minute trailer for the upcoming season of The Walking Dead!
The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic zombie horror series based on the graphic novel series of the same name. The AMC show first debuted on Halloween of 2010 and received critical acclaim from around the world and has surely turned many zombie haters into fans and zombie lovers into giddy school children.

Season 2 of The Walking Dead is slated to debut on October 16th, 2011! Enjoy!
Certain to be the nerdiest, most enjoyable horror film that you will find out there, Knights of Badassdom will bring out the nerd in all of us.
For those unfamiliar with the fantasy action role-play game, L.A.R.P was introduced to much of the world in the 2008 comedy Role Models. It is essentially a live action Dungeons and Dragons where nerds get to battle it out in costumes rather than sitting around a table. It’s much more hilarious than it sounds, if you don’t believe me, you’ll have to watch Role Models, pronto.
In Knights of Badassdom, a group of friends join together to take part in a LARPing battle (don’t hesistate to correct me if I misuse the term), and in a desperate attempt to gain the upper hand in battle, they accidentally summon a demon from the underworld. The horror comedy film will star many familiar faces including Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), the beautiful Summer Glau (Serenity), Community favourite Danny Pudi and of course, the great Peter Dinklage who many will recognize as Tyrion Lannister in HBO’s Game of Thrones.

This film is essentially a nerd’s version of Braveheart with badass fake armour and foam swords. There is actually a real LARPing community which I didn’t know existed but director Joe Lynch wanted to make sure this film accurately represented the LARPers of the world. He said this past weekend in an interview at Comic-Con that “if one person grabs a foam sword at the end of the movie, we’ve done our jobs.” I think it’s a very attainable goal considering how much fun these guys make it look but let me assure all of you…that it will not likely be me who picks up that foam Claymore.
But you never know, maybe Knights of Badassdom will change my mind! It is set to be released late 2011, so aspiring LARPers of the world, you have a few months to get your armour, shields and swords ready for the screening. Hizzah!
San Diego Comic Con came and went in a flash, just as it does every year but it always leaves us with some great teasers to give us something to look forward to!
We’ve already seen movies for The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and now with the release of Joe Johnston‘s Captain America: The First Avenger, we can finally start looking forward to The Avengers movie directed by none other than Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Serenity)
At Comic-con this past weekend they unveiled the first official poster for The Avengers!!
The Avengers (2012)
The Avengers is slated to be released May 4th, 2012!! It will feature an all-star cast of Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are All Right), Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) and Scarlet Johansson (The Prestige). This is going to be the greatest superhero epic of our time and I cannot wait for more details to be released!
What are your first impressions of the poster?
Since Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers is slated to release in the Spring of 2012, they are already in the middle of production for the Marvel superhero epic!
This weekend at the San Diego Comic-Con, they had on display the new uniform that will be worn by Captain America himself! It is an updated and modernized version of what we will see in Joe Johnson‘s Captain America: The First Avenger since that film is set in the early 1940s.

Personally, I think this is one hell of a costume. It is sleek, modern and yet still represents the classic feel of Captain America with his trademark shield, wings and patriotic colours. I have all the faith in the world in Joss Whedon to pull off this film!

It’s that time again, Comic-con is in San Diego! As nerdy as attendees may be, there are definitely some films that I’m definitely interested in that will be there to release trailers and news. I guess the Tron: Legacy panel was up because they just released a brand new trailer.
For those who aren’t familiar with the film Tron, it was Disney’s stab at a live action with the infusion of their famous animation. The film was released in 1982 and with the invention of computers still being very new, the idea of a virtual reality within the realm of computers was mind-blowing to the world. It was received pretty well by both critics and the public, it quickly developed a cult following for its innovative use of Disney animation.
In December of this year, Tron: Legacy is set to be released. It stars the original Flynn (Jeff Bridges) and Tron (Bruce Boxleitner) as well as introducing Garrett Hedlund (Friday Night Lights) as Flynn’s son. The film will be released on 3D and IMAX 3D on December 17th.
