Most adults who grew up in the 80s will probably have fond memories of the movie RoboCop. It was always a bit cheesy and over-the-top, but it is one of the best movies of the 80s. If you are like me when they first started remaking RoboCop you probably had some misgivings about the movie. […]
The production team known as Bad Robot, synonymous with J.J. Abrams works like Star Trek, have just released a trailer that could as easily be for a remake of The Crow as it could be for a new edition of Frankenstein. While it’s slightly unlikely that it’s either of these – one for one reason […]
When sci fi narratives explore artificial intelligence approaching a human level of sentience, they tend to focus on the negative (Skynet, anyone?). Not so with Spike Jonze’s new movie Her, a melancholy examination of what it means to be human in an increasingly inhuman world. The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as a social recluse who finds a friend in his smartphone’s Siri-inspired assistant, Samantha (voiced by Scarlett Johansson). The relationship blossoms in a way that manages to be both heartfelt and deeply unsettling, and Jonze’s take on a sort of technological animism feels pretty culturally resonant. Her is set for a November release, and you can watch the trailer after the break.

A few more of these, and it won’t even be news. Netflix is going hard into the original content business, and judging by the outstanding results with House of Cards, we’re guessing that it’ll be aiming for similar results with a different demographic here. Derek, described as something of a comedy / drama mishmash, is fronted by the affable Ricky Gervais. The show actually aired as Dramedy over on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, so while it’s not exactly a Netflix original, it’s getting “original treatment.” Per usual, the entire season will be available to stream at once on September 12th (overwhelming, we know), and if you’re looking to decide just how much time you should set aside, the trailer is embedded after the break.

If I didn’t know anything about Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game series, I’d probably be super excited to see the movie adaption. It takes place in space, has plenty of space battles and lots of things blow up. This latest trailer gives the illusion that the movie might not suck.

Trask Industries never looked better as the marketing push for X-Men: Days of Future Past begin with an ominous look at Sentinels. These robotic beasts are part of several X-Men storylines, here appearing in a 50 years of innovation video that once again pinpoints the timeline for this next bit of action in the Marvel Universe. While one storyline will sit squarely in the present, the other will take place 11 years after X-Men: First Class.
This trailer and viral marketing campaign video was released early today in an effort to stoke excitement for the upcoming comic book movie. While this installment doesn’t reveal just one whole heck of a lot of information about the film itself, we can see plainly the connections between this system and that of Skynet, the automaton-making company from the Terminator film series.
Back in 1973 we’ll see the beginning of the Trask Industries company – fast forward to 2013 we’ll see nothing short of a full-blown war.
We’ve seen a glimpse of these machines in their most massive form in the movie X-Men: The Last Stand, the good guys having a go at one in the Danger Room (the team’s holographic training room), Wolverine chopping one’s head off after a toss by Colossus. It would appear that the smaller iterations of the robots will be appearing here in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
“Founded by Bolivar Trask in 1967, Trask Industries was built on the philosophy of advancing human progress through technology and genetics. Our early research led to the revolutionary development of DNA-Generated Prosthetics. Since then, Trask Industries has taken the lead in genetics-based defense technology with our Mutant Detection Device and Sentinel program.”
“We’ve partnered with international governments to ensure that any threat to human extinction is preemptively neutralized. With Trask Industries, you can rest assured that the future of humanity is in safe hands.” – Trask Inudstries Viral Site
There’s also a Trask Industries viral site that delivers on some additional plot points. They detail the Sentinel itself (generation 9, Mark 1), along with the Mutant Detection Device and the Inhibitor Collar – for controlling dangerous mutants.
Perhaps best of all, we get to have a peek at none other than Bolivar Trask himself, played by everyone’s favorite Game of Thrones royal, Peter Dinklage. If anyone can pull off the devil that is Trask, it’s Dinklage.

That’s right. For the second day in a row, Warner Bros. has released another trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. Someone must be drunk at the wheel. But this one is especially scary and nearly made me pee my pants.

That’s right, folks. An official Lego movie is coming, and it brings all sorts of nostalgic action that looks to be a flick for the whole family. Warner Bros. just released the official trailer of The Lego Movie, and it gives us a glimpse of what to expect when the movie sees a theatrical release
If you’ve been reading Technabob for any length of time, you probably know that we’re huge fans of LEGO and LEGO paraphernalia. Now, it turns out that Hollywood is jumping onto the LEGO bandwagon with the upcoming release of The LEGO Movie.
It’s the first full-length flick based on the LEGO universe, and is being directed by the team behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and the 21 Jump Street Movie. It actually looks pretty amusing from the first teaser trailer that was just released earlier this evening…
While it may look like stop-motion from the trailer above, it’s actually all CGI, which is a little bit disappointing, but I have to say they did a good job recreating the look of hand-animated minifigs, which have been such a popular thing on YouTube over the years.
The movie follows the story of Emmet, a LEGO minifig who finds himself in the unlikely position of being mistaken as the most extraordinary person in the land of LEGO, and must help save the world from an evil tyrant. In addition to a cast of thousands of minifigs, the movie stars Will Ferrell, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman, and is expected to snap together in time for a February 2014 release.
With the coming of The Wolverine, the next chapter of the Marvel Comics X-Men break-out star continues in Japan with a trailer released this week. This movie is set to take the role continued with Hugh Jackman back into his past – as all good Wolverine stories do. Here with the newest two-minute and fourty-one
