First Avatar Clip And New Image By Brendon Connelly/Nov. 17, 2009 10:58 am EST The first Avatar clip to have made it online will be fairly familiar to anybody who made it along on Avatar day, it’s just a whole lot smaller and one dimension short these days. Happily for me, this is a snippet of the sequence I was most impressed with in the seventeen minute bundle. We can debate the merits of performance capture and stereoscopic cinematography for hours on end and still not get to the heart of what will make James Cameron’s action sequences so incredible, which is their staging and editing....

In the article, Lakeshore’s Gary Lucchesi says they had " talked about doing a film remake at times, but doing it for TV seemed like a fresh and original idea....
How One Guy’s Flickr Photo Wound Up In The Iron Man Movie By David Chen/Dec. 4, 2008 7:54 am EST Of all the amateur photographers out there, who among us hasn’t dreamed of seeing our photos plastered onscreen during the runtime of a multi-million dollar studio tentpole release/major comic book franchise film?

Photo: The Joker’s Clown Car By Peter Sciretta/June 14, 2007 1:51 pm EST LatinoReview has posted a photo of what appears to be The Joker’s “clown-car” from the upcoming Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. The photo was leaked from the set a few days back, and looks to be legit. I can say this much, I’m really digging the production design thus far. It has style but not so much style that it’s unrealistic....

But forget about the critics, I want to know what you guys thought....
