Mortal Engine – the Extended Version

-

2018-11-12

Who is … apprehensive about Peter Jackson’s new movie Mortal Engines? We are here at WhaleMeteor. Both expectant and more than a little affraid that Mr. Jackson is still too much in love with CGI and green screen background for this story to really move. On the other hand: let’s hope that the story is enough for the film to justify the effects. The spectacle is sure to dazzle. But other trailers also gave us the goosebumps in the past only to turn out to be a really ungreat film (*cough*Valerian*cough*).

Christian Rivers who was visual supervisor on all six Middle Earth films is this time in the director seat, while Jackson is at the helm of writing. Mortal Engines revolves around megacities on wheels that steal ressources from the surrounding badlands. Also young love and secrets to over throw empires.

Lets see what they get out of the material based on the novels by Philip Reeve. You can – you know… check out the books over at Amazon while you wait for the movie to come out:

The Final Trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Releases tension for the Future of the Series

Aaaaaaaand in a Galaxy far, far away we have watched how the Internet exploded with excitement over the – apparently – final trailer for Star Wars; the Rise of Skywalker . Just how FINAL the final trailer is, remains to be seen. I remember that the final trailers for the two prequels for Rise of Skywalker, received some additional trailers, although they were mostly released for audiences in other regions. Let’s just enjoy the trailer one more time (check it out below) and below the trailer I will add some of the thoughtful breakdowns and easter egg observations for the trailer that are surfacing in the wake of this final trailer: While I have thoroughly enjoyed most of the Star Wars films after the universe was acquired by Disney, I also think that there are some misfires and downright mistakes that make me want to curb my excitement for this final chapter in the Skywalker saga.  For what it’s worth, I loved Rogue One more than the two newest installments of the story of the Sk...

Darth Vader Christmas Tree Topper

Having a Christmas tree in your geeky and cultured home, but not a Darth Vader Christmas tree topper? I find your lack of faith disturbing… Go redeem your self by ornamenting your tree with Darth Vader. Then you will show your family that the journey towards that the Christmas is fulfilled and they will belong to you! Or – at the very least and staying away from more funny and clever (yes – I was clever!) paraphrasings of the Star Wars movies you will have a very unique and clever tree. I know that aside from having a Death Star as the christmas star, this  Darth Vader christmas tree topper is my favorite Star Wars themed ornament.

… and it looks incredible!!! There are going to be fighting on an epic scale both between to star fleets and between the two white and black clad protagonists. As such it looks like this last bit in the epic saga of the Skywalkers will follow the kind-of-mirroring of the latest entries in this story arc. While we have watchted trailers and footage in the past and have been blind sided and fooled by seemingly great spoilers that never made it to the finished films, this one looks like the last light saber fight will take place above a stormy ocean. But we will nver know for sure until the final version of the film hits theaters. Dodging Leaks in the Star Wars Universe We have seen some pretty crazy covert ops techniques from Disney in order to avoid leaking the plot of the last few Star Wars films. And we are looking at YOU ‘The Last Jedi’ and YOU ‘Rogue One’! Both films had pretty substantial parts of the trailer plot removed in the final version of the film. Most notably in the tra...
