CHILLING AND THRILLING TRAILER FOR "THE THING"! JOE JOHNSTON WANTS TO MAKE "BOBA FETT" SF MOVIE! AMAZING CONCEPT ART FOR "RIDDICK"! "CAPTAIN PLANET" TO GET A LIVE ACTION FILM!

Joe Johnston who is about to premiere his CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, and is also planning JURASSIC PARK 4 (in a

form of a reboot), has recently revealed to "Screen Rant" that he also wants to make a sf film about famous BOBA FETT, the character from STAR WARS. Back in the past he worked with George Lucas ( as the visual effects art director) who was his mentor and now he wants to make a feature film on the character he helped being designed. As you remember Boba Fett was a bounty hunter hired by Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon. Dangerous and mysterious, the character has created a cult following among the STAR WAR fans.

Vin Diesel has released a new piece of concept art for RIDDICK the sequel to his popular sf saga. It still isn't quite certain if Vin and director David Twohy will find money for the whole project.

The producers of TRANSFORMERS and REAL STEEL are planning the film adaptation of Cartoon Network's CAPTAIN PLANET. The character is known as the first eco-super hero, created back in the 90's in a show about a group of young people (The Planeteers) who combine their special powers to summon Captain Planet, an environmental superhero, to battle the world's worst eco-villains.

 I'm a bit late with this trailer which was released last week, but it's so scorching hot here in Europe that I think this clip might cool us down a bit. It's the extremely thrilling and super scary

trailer for THE THING, the direct prequel to John Carpenter's classic from the 70's, which premieres this October set at an Antarctica research site that's invaded by an "alien life form". The discovery of an alien craft brings in graduate student Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who partners with Sam Carter (Joel Edgerton), a helicopter pilot, to hunt down this alien. It's interesting that Universal Studios Florida will open a maze inspired by the film in the form of an abandoned scientific research facility in the midst of a vast and frozen Antarctica in which guests will get an unprecedented first-hand preview of the much-anticipated thriller.
