Evogac, I posted this over on SF center too. Huge thanks to Anthony Smith3 for the heads-up. 🙂

BTW, Ron " Helboj" Perlman is in this one as well. 😁

And I’m guessing you already know where to look... on the torrent sites. 😁

Total flop of a movie. 🙂

Hey, over you can find a thread with some extra details right here. 🙂

Justin Foster4 said:Was there something similar for Star Wars? Like, something set between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope? I feel like I heard about it somewhere, but I can't find any info on a movie like that...

Regarding Star Wars, the animated Clone Wars movie hits theaters on August 15th. It’s basically serving as a lead-in to the Clone Wars animated series, which is slated to premiere this fall. Chronologically, the series sits right between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

On another note, there's a live-action Star Wars series in the works. George Lucas mentioned it's aiming for a 2010 release, likely landing on HBO or Showtime. It's supposed to run for 100 episodes and dive into side characters from the Star Wars universe, leaning heavily into the Expanded Universe stuff.

Yeah, just a slip of the pen on my part. Thnx. 🙂

Batman: Arkham City



I just wrapped up watching Batman: Arkham City. It’s basically an anime anthology featuring six different stories that bridge the gap between Batman Begins and Batman: Arkham City. Honestly, it feels very similar to the vibe of Animatrix.

It dropped just a few days ago, and I’d highly recommend checking it out—especially if you're planning on seeing The Dark Knight soon.

You can find more deep dives and details about the film here.

BTW, there's a similar project in the works for the Terminator franchise called Termination.

I don't know, man, I caught the last two quarters and I just wasn't feeling what they put on display out there. If they keep playing like this, there's zero chance they’ll see any success at the EP, and honestly, I'm starting to worry about how they'll hold up at the Olympics.

@Anthony Smith3/">@@Anthony Smith3
You're spot on. I'm not exactly out here setting my expectations through the roof either, but it’ll definitely be an interesting watch regardless.

Speaking of budgets, look at those two Stargate SG-1 movies (Ark of Truth and Continuum). They both pulled in about 8 to 9 million USD each, and honestly, they look great—especially Continuum based on what we've seen in the trailer—even if they were just direct-to-DVD releases. But you really have to keep one thing in mind there: you had the full weight of MGM behind them. Plus, they had the legacy of ten seasons of Stargate SG-1 and four (soon going on five) seasons of Atlantis to lean on. Not to mention the US Air Force and US Navy stepped up too, giving them access to fighter jets, a submarine, and even a base in the Arctic.

Is Zim the one who lost his leg in that trap?

Nah, that's actually Jean Rasczak, played by Michael Ironside.

Zim:

I'm with you there, even though I wouldn't call myself a huge Rambo fan.
My only real condition is that the movie shouldn't be too short. It’s honestly such a bummer they didn't include that blonde guy from the squad.
(you know, that totally unhinged Ricov buddy).
I really think the movie would have been absolute fire if he was in it.

Are you talking about Riley (Jake Busey) or that "Gestapo" type 😁 Neil Patrick Harris (who's basically a staple in the Harold and Kumar film series now 😁)?

BTW, I thought Clancy Brown was legendary playing Sergeant Zim. 😁

briskbison41 said:You say "more aggressive."😁
As far as I can tell, blowing up entire mountains😂 has always been...😲

Yeah, sure, because in the book they act like those little nukes are just being hit by standard bullets like something straight out of a Rambo movie. 😁

Timothy Hall85 said:Didn't we already see that in the first movie?
That "Fire in the hole" scene.

Yeah, but from what I remember about the book, they lean into that much harder. It’s way more aggressive. 😁

briskbison41 said:Yeah. Am I tripping, or were there some massive robots in that movie too??

Those are those suits I was talking about a few posts back. This is actually the first time we're seeing those suits on screen, even though they were mentioned in the book. Basically, every soldier hops into one while they're in orbit and then they just plummet through the atmosphere like a Transformer.

BTW, I honestly don't buy the idea that this movie is going to be some cheap flop like some people are claiming. Word is the budget was around 20 million USD.

briskbison41 said:That honestly sounds like something straight out of Worms.😂😁
Regarding those bugs, I actually caught a glimpse of something similar—like a snout firing blue lasers.🙄

It’s probably just some kind of plasma stinger.

briskbison41 said:Based on the trailer, I think there are some new bugs in the third one too.

Yeah, they definitely have them, and they're also showing those orbital drop suits where the soldiers jump straight from orbit down to the planet, just like Heinlein wrote about. It’s a bummer they didn't include the handheld nuclear weapons from the book, though. 😁

By the way, I was digging through some old files on my computer and stumbled upon this. 😁

The Starship Troopers soundtrack.

Larry Rivera83 said:The first one was a total masterpiece, and honestly, it’s a crime to even compare these next two sequels to it.

I'm with you on the second one, but I haven't sat down with the third yet, so I'll hold my breath on that until I see it.

New Starship Troopers 3 Trailer



So, a second trailer just dropped for the direct-to-video flick Starship Troopers : Marauder. It’s being pushed specifically for the Japanese market right now, but it looks like the movie is heading for a theatrical release in Japan and several other spots across Asia and Europe on July 19th.

Just to get everyone up to speed, this third installment in the Starship Troopers franchise features Casper van Dien, Jolene Blalock (from Star Trek : Enterprise), Amanda Donohoe, and Boris Kodjoe. They’re all back to try and shut down some evil bug scheme to wipe out Earth.

As for home media, Marauder is set to hit Blu-ray and DVD on August 5th, and they'll be dropping the previous two films in the series alongside it. Heads up though—Marauder is definitely getting an R rating because of the violence, the swearing, and some nudity.

You can check out the Japanese version of the trailer and the poster over at the Science Fiction Center. You can also head there if you want to catch more Starship Troopers news.

briskbison41 said:Frank Moore4> You got any intel on Spider-Man 4??

Based on the latest news and rumors floating around, I should probably point out this. There were some whispers going around that the kid from The Forbidden Kingdom was going to take over as Spider-Man, but the studio already shut that down. Everything is still in the early stages of pre-production, and we're likely looking at a 2010 theatrical release. So, honestly, don't sweat those IMDb listings claiming it's premiering next year.
