After seeing Geppetto die at the hands of vampires, Pinocchio swears revenge in this darkly funny graphic novel. As the vampires plot the enslavement of mankind, only a one-puppet army stands in their way. But will a wooden boy and his endless supply of stakes—courtesy of plenty of lies and his elongating nose—be enough to save the day?
Graphic novel arrives September 2009

The A Kiss From Tokyo trailer is perfect, and oh the Saul Bass-esque titles! But my favorite part is the rear projection driving scene.
This animation was created for the release of Kevin Dart’s new book, Seductive Espionage, the world of Yuki 7. The book features artwork by Mr. Dart (of course), and includes selections from Brigette Barrager, Elizabeth Ito, Ted Mathot, Chris Turnham, Daniel Arriaga, Don Shank, Josh Parpan, Justin Parpan, and Megan Brain.

Since Penguin is busy working on his papers, I thought I’d post for him. ^__^ The other day, he showed me the Moon trailer, and it is awesome! As an added bonus, the original score is by Clint Mansel. The film hits theaters June 12th, 2009. I can’t wait!
I’m particularly fond of the computer, GERTY, who uses emoticon faces to express how he’s feeling (he’s like HAL 9000 with a face).
Directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell.

Sure, it’s a fake trailer, but they did a great job of mashing up a few different films. There are a few sections where the makeup tracking is off, but for the most part, they really pulled it off. It’s a great little trailer.

We live in public trailer from RADAR on Vimeo.
In the late 90’s, Josh Harris was an internet pioneer. He founded Jupiter Communications and then Pseudo.com which provided streaming television before Youtube.
The documentary is about one of Josh Harris’s projects: We Live in Public.
The above video takes a while before it gets interesting, but once it does, it is amazingly captivating. And as any good trailer should do, it’s made me want to see the film. It’s beautiful in a repulsive sort of way.
The film is scheduled to premiere at Sundance.

Rain of Madness is the mockumentary of the hilarious Tropic Thunder. It’s supposed to be available for free on iTunes, but I don’t use it.

The smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies brings back fond memories of when I was a child and would bake with my mum. It’s funny, because I feel so safe and loved whenever I get a whiff of it. And even just writing about it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Now imagine if regular sensory experiences bring back memories of government secrets. As a Sensory Archiver, Andy Lipman uses his photographic memory to store these secrets, which can be retrieved by associated physical stimuli. For example, the sound of frying oil contains the results of illegal clinical drug trials in Southeast Asia, and Britain’s nuclear launch codes taste like economy pork sausages. But the memory that Andy wants to hold onto is the one that keeps slipping away—the memory of his love.
This British short film, And I Refuse To Forget, was directed and written by Nuru Rimington-Mkali. His short was entered in Filmaka and won! Now, Rimington-Mkali is working on making this into a feature-length movie.
