Breaking Dawn, Part 2, gets a trailer

With no official synopsis apart from what's below. The final part of the ever-dreadful but incredible money making Twilight series comes to an end. Today I give you the first, teaser, trailer for Breaking Dawn, Part 2.

The fifth and final instalment of the Saga stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner and will be in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on November 16th.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter gets a new image

Diging around some of the sites I regally hit, I discovered a new still. I would say it's a still from the famous Gettysburg address but then again...

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter reveals our 16th President was actually a 19th century version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Lincoln's mother died when he was just nine, but the young boy didn't immediately learn the truth behind her death. Once he found out vampires were responsible, Lincoln did everything he could to avenge his mother's death, dedicating his life to putting an end to all bloodsuckers.

Meet the Makhai

Last week we saw a new featurette showing is the Chimera. This week it's the time to meet the Makhai.

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year-old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.

Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus's godly son, Ares, switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus's remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda, Poseidon's demigod son, Agenor, and fallen god Hephaestus, Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

Prometheus wallpaper

Earlier today saw the release of some new images for Ridley Scott's new film, Prometheus. So with that in mind and how beautiful the backgrounds were on some I converted them into wallpaper that you can download below.

Ridley Scott, director of ‘Alien’ and ‘Blade Runner’, returns to the genre he helped define.

With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

The Hunger Games game for your iPhone

In addition, as a teaser and perfect accompaniment to the film, the iPhone / iPad game – THE HUNGER GAMES: GIRL ON FIRE – is now available on Apple’s App Store. Since last December, Lionsgate has worked very closely with Suzanne Collins to make a great casual mobile game that serves as a teaser to the movie with a narrative that takes place before the events of the film! And now, after a successful day of great app reviews and tremendous momentum, the game is now sitting at the #3 position across Apple’s entire App Store, as well as #3 in the Game category, the most competitive category on the Store, and the #1 game in the Action genre.

In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.
The Hunger Games is in UK cinemas now.
