You can’t have missed all the hullabaloo about the trailer for the upcoming Cats movie. The first look at the big screen adaptation of the classic musical was highly anticipated, as it comes from award-winning director Tom Hooper (Les Miserables). However, folks weren’t prepared for the terrifying, nightmarish sight of various famous faces plastered onto CGI cat bodies.
For Doctor Who fans, though, the whole thing is making them nostalgic for when the sci-fi series featured cat-human hybrids, and handled them much better. David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor encountered the Cat People of New-Earth in the far future in both 2006’s “New Earth” and 2007’s “Gridlock,” with the creatures being achieved via good old-fashioned prosthetics and make-up. And fans think the Cats movie should have followed suit.
How did Doctor Who manage to create better human cats over a decade ago with a small budget than a huge movie production in 2019? #CatsMovie pic.

The Rick Moranis-headlined version of Little Shop Of Horrors is a special piece of weirdness.
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
We should start at the end, seeing as it’s the thing people talk about the most when it comes to Little Shop of Horrors. In one of the most commonly-known pieces of "lost movie" lore, many of you will already be aware that Frank Oz’s 1986 movie adaptation of the cult stage musical made it to cinemas in December 1986 with a completely different ending from the one that had originally been shot. Rather than the bleak ending in which loveable nerd Seymour and his beloved Audrey are eaten by the fearsome Audrey II plant, which then breeds into a super-race of giant plants that dominate the globe, the amended movie ending instead sees Seymour destroy the plant and happily marry Audrey.
It sounds like typical Hollywood sanitizing,...

We take a closer look at everything you might have missed in the Back To The Future trilogy!
Aside from being just generally one of the greatest movie trilogies ever made, the Back To The Future films are especially notable for just how densely packed they are, both at script level and then again in production. Barely a scene goes by, in any of the three films, that doesn’t contain something worth keeping an eye out for, or that rewards repeated viewings – whether it’s a nod to something recognizable from popular culture, a clever easter egg relating to the ongoing story and characters, or even just a little piece of in-joke trivia.
If you’ve watched the films more than once, chances are you’ll have noticed plenty of them – but we’re not sure anybody’s gone through and put together quite so comprehensive...

Arnold Schwarzenegger announced the title of the new Terminator movie in style today (August 6), by posting a photo on Instagram of a director's chair with the film's name emblazoned across the back.
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of the title is its unusual spelling, with the next instalment named Terminator Genisys.
Twitter users have been quick to make their feelings on the title known, with some mocking the 'innovative' spelling of the word 'genesis':

Seth Rogen faces off against Zac Efron in this neighbourly comedy. Here's Seb's review...
If you happen to have been born in the same year as Seth Rogen, as this correspondent was, then it’s somewhat disconcerting to see him cast on the older side in a generational-gap comedy. This can’t be right, surely? Rogen shouldn’t be the family man getting annoyed at all these youngsters making noise and causing chaos: he should be the youngster making noise and causing chaos, dammit!

As Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure turns 25, Seb takes a look back at the duo's outings...
There’s an urban legend that posits that the execrable 1996 Pauly Shore vehicle Bio-Dome was originally written as a third Bill & Ted film, before being turned down by Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter and so repurposed with new characters. The rumour has been heavily debunked by many, including Winter himself; but frankly, it says a lot about a person if they believe it ever might have been true in the first place. Specifically, what it says is that that person hasn’t watched, or paid attention to, either of the Bill & Ted films.
What the rumour does play to is a range of assumptions about Bill and Ted: that they’re stoners, or slackers, or surfer dudes. That they’re completely lame-brained idiots who fail to understand anything about the world around them,...

What clues to the direction of Batman Vs Superman does the casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor offer us?
It didn't take long for the jokes to start: so ingrained was Bryan Cranston as the fan's choice choice to play Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder's upcoming Man Of Steel sequel, that the only possible assumption following Friday's announcement was that someone at Warner Bros had misheard Snyder's request to get "that Heisenberg guy" in. That's quite a good gag, in fairness.
That was among the more common reactions – the others being "Huh?", "What?" and "Well, at least this cuts Affleck a break for a bit" – to the news that The Social Network and Adventureland's Jesse Eisenberg, a fresh-faced, mop-haired thirty-year-old, had been cast as one of comicdom's most charismatic and enduring villains.

Post-Avengers, superhero movies are all about shared universes, but will that work for Sony's Amazing Spider-Man franchise?
Shared universes have been a major feature of superhero comics for almost as long as capes and thought bubbles, but it's only relatively recently that they've become anywhere near as notable a feature in superhero movies. In the first wave of comic book films, 1984's Supergirl was the only example of a spinoff from an existing franchise, while the best-forgotten Batman and Robin hinted at the existence of Superman in what was little more than a throwaway joke.
In the post-x-Men era, meanwhile, the Spider-Man films remained resolutely standalone, while even X-Men Origins: Wolverine was more the only available route for the producers to continue after X-Men 3 than it was a genuinely separate story strand.

From a start as a child actor, to his role as Richie Cunningham on Happy Days, to a directorial career that has brought him Academy Award success – not to mention his dual role as producer and narrator on the cult sitcom Arrested Development – perhaps his most defining characteristic has been (with the possible exception of the two Da Vinci Codes) never to make the same kind of project twice.
His latest step into the unknown comes with Rush, a biopic about the rivalry between 1970s Formula One drivers Niki Lauda and James Hunt. As we sat down with the director for a roundtable chat about the new film,...

A famous Formula One rivalry becomes a biopic in Ron Howard's Rush. Here's Seb's review of a great motorsport movie...
Sometimes, reality can prove itself better than fiction. If Rush were an entirely fabricated story about the rivalry between two racing drivers in the 1970s, then it would probably have a quite clear delineation between them: a smiling "good guy" for the audience to root for and who ultimately triumphs, versus a cynical "bad guy" who frequently looks to be on top before his eventual defeat. Instead, it's a film with two heroes, allowing the viewer to decide whether to sympathise with maverick playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth), analytical recluse Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl), or both.
In stark contrast to the last great F1-related film – Asif Kapadia's documentary Senna, whose influence creeps into almost every corner of Ron Howard's biopic...

As we reported recently, there's a growing groundswell of support for a campaign to try and convince studio chiefs to get work moving on a sequel to Alex Garland and Pete Travis' excellent Dredd film, which stands as easily one of the most faithful and engaging comic book adaptations of recent years. The publishers of 2000 Ad themselves have thrown their weight behind the campaign, and whether or not it's successful, its very existence does show the appetite that's out there for such a strong and well-grounded take on the comic's long-running and beloved stable of characters.

As we get towards the end of the school year, teachers across the country are united in reaching either for a legion of board games, or a few films to watch to keep their charges quiet.
Personally, I got a mix of teachers and their film choices. We were shown The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner once, and it wasn’t for a few years that I realised that said teacher had edited the copy himself, to remove anything that he deemed ‘inappropriate’. He deemed a lot inappropriate, to be fair to him.

The Cornetto trilogy is complete, as Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost deliver The World's End. Here's our review...
There's something deeply apt about the central tenet of The World's End involving Simon Pegg's hopeless wastrel Gary Kingseeking comfort in the familiar haunts of his youth. Having spent the six years since Hot Fuzz developing respective careers that have shown an ability to outgrow and expand from, rather than simply retread, the paths that made them famous, Pegg and his trusty cohorts Nick Frost and Edgar Wright return to complete the fabled 'Blood and Ice Cream' trilogy by digging for the same sort of cosy familiarity that Gary looks for in his fabled twelve-pint pub crawl.

How close to Superman lore does Man Of Steel fly, and are its changes for the better, asks Seb...?
Warning: This feature contains lots of spoilers for Man Of Steel.
A little over two years ago, I was at a screening of Zack Snyder’s film Sucker Punch, which also featured a Q&A with the director himself beforehand. Despite the protestations of the PR people and the fact that nobody was able to ask questions about a film they hadn’t yet seen, Snyder had only days earlier been announced as the director of a rebooted Superman film. As such it meant that the Man Of Steel was heavily on the agenda.
I was one of the audience members who asked a question that night, and was met with a dismissal of sorts by Snyder when I asked if there were any particular storylines,...

As Codemasters' Grid 2 arrives, Seb wonders where the racing game can go next. Is there still room for innovation as well as refinement?
In a sense, it's not hard to see why it's taken Codemasters almost five years to put out a sequel to Race Driver: Grid. One of the most widely-acclaimed – and biggest-selling – games of the developer's long and distinguished output of racing simulations, Grid remains popular to this day, with Xbox 360 owners still able to play online via its servers (despite the PC and PS3 equivalents having closed down in 2011). While the clamour for a sequel has since been inevitable, there’s also the question of whether or not producing one risks damaging the franchise’s reputation by not living up to the original.

In contrast to a lot of comic book movie trailer campaigns, the promos for Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan and David Goyer’s Man Of Steel have been somewhat slow and considered, carefully building their reveals bit by bit rather than showing us everything at once. It seems to be doing a good job of heightening anticipation for a film that’s now only a couple of months away from release, but we’ve still been able to pick out a little bit about the film more from the latest, longer trailer.

To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.
The above quotation, by noted Danish architect Steen Eiler Rasumussen, appears at the beginning of the manual for SimCity 2000, released in 1994. As introductions to a game go, it certainly beats 'Press Start', doesn’t it?

How SimCity went via SimCity 2000 and The Sims to become SimCity again...
For something that would eventually launch one of the biggest franchises in the history of gaming, it’s interesting to note that SimCity’s creation was essentially the result of a happy accident. In the early 1980s, developer Will Wright was working on an otherwise inconsequential shoot-em-up game called Raid On Bungeling Bay for the Commodore 64. Having created a bespoke editor to assist in the creation of maps for the game, however, Wright found that he was taking far more enjoyment out of building these maps than developing, or playing, the game itself.
Reasoning that others might also enjoy building towns and terrain in this way, he decided to turn that experience into a game of its own – immersing himself in urban planning culture and eventually completing, in 1985, something that started out...
