A Little Bit On The Live Action Akira Side: While the Warner Bros. adaptation may be on hold, French director Fabien Dubois has taken it upon himself to slaughter the classic by casting a generic white dude as a version of Tetsuo who wears a bootleg version of Kaneda’s jacket. Does no one get this movie?

A Little Bit On The Lego Graffiti Side: This sick little stop motion video of a LEGO man getting up on a train was made for a school project by Elvisistnochamleben. The photo snaps at the end are a nice subtle touch.

A Little Bit On The Trippy Sci-Fi Side: This trailer for Beyond The Black Rainbow is like what would happen if Stanley Kubrick dropped mad acid and directed his own remixed film adaptation of the Portal games.
Beyond the Black Rainbow, written and directed by Panos Cosmatos, is a Reagan-era fever dream inspired by hazy childhood memories of midnight movies and Saturday morning cartoons. Cosmatos brings a bold, Kubrickian vision to the screen in stunning detail in this sci-fi fable of a young woman imprisoned in an experimental laboratory and the enigmatic scientist who is her captor. Set in a futuristic 1983, Elena finds herself held against her will in a mysterious facility under the watchful eye of the sinister Dr. Barry Nyle. Pushed to her limits, Elena is left with no choice but to navigate an escape from her labyrinthine prison, in the process revealing its hidden secrets.
Idunno about you guys, but this is the first trailer since Moon that’s had me this pumped for an honest-to-goodness, non-CG-filled science fiction flick.

A Little Bit On The HOLY SHIT IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! Side: Mattel is making official replicas of the hoverboard from Back to the Future! You feel that? That’s your 12-year-old self’s erection poking you through the fabric of the spacetime continuum. Unless you’re a lady, in which case: that’d just be weird.
This totally awesome 1:1 replica of the hover board from the BTTF 2 and BTTF 3 films includes multiple whooshing sounds and will glide over most surfaces (does not actually “hover” - check back in 2015 for that feature). We’ll be taking orders for it March 1 - March 20, 2012, and the final product will be shipped around November/December 2012. Because this is such a high-cost item, there will be a minimum number of orders required to go into production. If we don’t receive the minimum orders, won’t go into production and customers will not be charged. The price will be announced later this month. (Note: Hover board does not work on water.)
Okay, so it doesn’t actually hover, and it looks a little cheap, but the most-likely high price tag and limited production run make me want to sell my buttholeginity to strangers for one. Hot strangers that are also women, but still…

A Little Bit On The Violent Chinese Cinema Side: China’s highest grossing film, Let The Bullets Fly, hits select U.S. theaters and On Demand starting March 2nd. It sort of reminds me of Kung Fu Hustle, only replace martial arts with pumping fools full of lead and add a dash of Chow Yun-fat.

A Little Bit On The Amazing Spider-Man Side: Surprisingly, this trailer looks less like the 2002 Spider-Man than expected. Dare I say it actually looks kind of awesome!
A Little Bit On The Game Of Thrones Season 2 Side: Oh, hey! If you dig cool things that are neat, check out this trailer for the second season of Game of Thrones. I totally got chills at the “a very small man can cast a very large shadow” part.
Big ups to Marty for sending this our way!
A Little Bit On The Phoenix Wright Side: Remember that live action version of Ace Attorney being directed by Takashi Miike that we told you about forever ago? Well, now you can get an iPhone app featuring actor Hiroki Narimiya as Phoenix Wright yelling catchphrases from the game. The app is calle “Minna de Igiari!” or “Object Together!” and a Droid version will eventually be released at some point, so don’t be jelly, Droid users. Oh! And the app even has a demo of the Ace Attorney game, which you should totally play if you haven’t already.
The live-action Ace Attorney hits theaters in Japan on February 11th.

A Little Bit On The Bone Movie Adaptation Side: Jeff Smith’s comic book epic, Bone, has been picked up by Warner Bros. and the script is being handled by Patrick Sean Smith who created the ABC show Greek and the film we be directed by by P.J. Hogan who’s directed chick flicks like My Best Friend’s Wedding and Confessions of a Shopaholic. Clearly they’ve chosen the perfect dudes for the job.

A Little Bit On The Jim Carrey Side: Here’s Jim Carrey looking ridiculous (ridiculously awesome!) as he whips his hair back and forth on the set of his new movie Burt Wonderstone. The film’s shooting in Las Vegas and stars Carey alongside Steve Carell as they play two rival magicians. That’d probably explain why Mr. Ventura’s looking like Kid Rock with the over-accessorized sensibilities of Chris Angel. Mind: freaked.
Starting to wonder if the baby arm trend will ever catch on.
