French director Pierre Morel, who directed the amazing Liam Neeson action flick, Taken, which literally took the box office by surprise, has been featured heavily in the news today in regards to two different projects.

R. Scott Bakker's prose have always challenged contemporary literature with the depth of his philosophical knowledge. While his fantasy series The Prince of Nothing, was told with a much greater emphasis on narrative, Neuropath is like jumping directly into his brain.

Or: Yes, Another Rantbox that is PS3 Related.

Remember in my last Rantbox where I talked about the Playstation 3 and how I bought a copy of Resistance and Resistance 2, but hadn’t gotten a chance to play them yet? Well, I’ve finally gotten around to playing a little Resistance: Fall of Man, and well… read on for my opinion.

That's right, the Nimrod Antal directed feature film, Armored, which I'm really interested in seeing given that Antal is directing the new Predator film, ended up on the PlayStation Network for download.

The Rumour Mill is back after a slight Christmas hiatus, and this time round it's got a fancy, yet slightly confusing subtitle to go with it. The Mill is filled with plenty of movie and video game rumours, and each rumour covered in this here post has a reference in the title. If you can guess what they are before reading through this post, then you win some tasty Bacon Floss. Mmm bacon floss. WARNING: The 8th Circuit does not have any Bacon Floss to give out because Genki ate it all. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This is a tiny, tiny update on the upcoming Captain America film titled The First Avenger: Captain America. Aside from drafting in director Joe Johnston, whose latest work, The Wolfman, can be seen on February 12, 2010, and writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, there hasn't been much happening on Cap's behalf. 

Hello all. I am deeply saddened to bring this news to you, but I thought that you, his friends and fans, should know. Earlier this morning Brendan Kutler, our Mlarg, passed away in his sleep. Funeral preparations are being made, and I welcome any of you who would like additional information on them to contact me directly. For those of you who did not know him personally, I hope you will take a moment to pay your respects to this incredibly talented and amazing young man.

In his short time on this planet, he contributed far more and touched many more lives than most of us could ever hope to. He will always be remembered for his boundless enthusiasm, hard work, and caring heart.

I hope you find new adventures wherever you may be Brendan, you will be missed.

I hope that everyone had a happy holiday, whatever it was that you celebrated, and more importantly I hope that you all received some sweet loot from your friends and family. I’m gonna tell you right now, I somehow managed to score a Playstation 3, and I was oh-so-excited when I first opened it. That excitement has… well, its waned a little bit.

Let me say this right off the bat: Killzone 2’s graphics are amazing, and I’m saying this still about one year after its January release. Killzone 2 is basically the Gran Turismo 5 of the FPS world; it was majorly hyped back at E3 2005, but saw little advance in the next two years and was virtually forgotten about until mid 2008. However, for fans of the original Killzone for PS2 and for Playstation 3 owners in general, the lack of news for this long period of time built up the hype to near Avatar proportions.

The other day we posted an article, from Wired, which detailed how Duke Nukem: Forever became "the biggest video-game that never was". The article presented some interesting reasons as to why we haven't seen Forever and stated that fans will need a miracle to see it as the company is locked in a lawsuit with Take-Two. Well, in a move that will make people happy and is surely something of a miracle, 3D Realms, the studio behind Duke Nukem, have just released an update on the state of, you guessed it, Duke Nukem.

If you're one of those die-hard animation enthusiasts that consider animation NOT from Japan, then you're excited about Genndy Tartakovsky finally coming through on his promise to end the story of Samurai Jack with a full length feature. Most people had lost hope that there would ever be a finale to his epic duel with the great antagonist Aku, (voiced by the late Mako) but Fred Seibert, head of Federator Films, has announced that they are bringing the samurai to the big screen with none other than J. J. Abrams as the co-producer.

For your reading pleasure, I present a quick rundown of the latest developments on the comic book movie front covering DC, Marvel and whatever else I can find in-between.

Queen's classic song, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is pretty awesome, and if this video proves anything, oh so exploitable. This fan-made epic stretches pretty much the entire length of the show, and there are many lolz to be found for fans of the series. Those unfamiliar with the mythos should steer clear however, as spoilers abound. Youtube user nnaylime put together this most excellent video, featuring the musical talents of The Great Luke Ski. Check it below, enjoy!

Now this is some good stuff. Badass video remix artist Pogo took chords, bass notes and vocal samples from Pixar's Up and turned it into a song called "Upular". The result is predictably awesome considering the artist at work and the work he's drawing from. Check it out below:
