Definitely bet­ter than Episode I. Now Mark Hamill’s ‘express­ive’ per­form­ance makes more sense. Love the tune treat­ment. Click the image to watch the video.

Skyfall — Teaser Trailer

By admin | Published: May 21, 2012

Teaser trailer for Skyfall, the latest film in the 007 fran­chise →. I usu­ally like the work of Sam Mendes, which is dir­ect­ing this motion pic­ture, so I’m really curi­ous to see how his take on a James Bond story turns out. Meanwhile, the teaser is look­ing great.

It is a simple short story  about how the fate of a young lib­rar­ian gets ‘con­tam­in­ated’ by a mys­ter­i­ous device he finds in an ancient book. […]

Iconatomy — a pro­ject named from the words ‘icon’ and ‘ana­tomy’ — con­sists of a series of col­lages that seam­lessly merges two celebrit­ies from two dif­fer­ent eras of film his­tory. It is the cre­ation of George Chamoun, an artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. In his own words: The pic­tures are not morphed in any way. What you see is a col­lage of two […]
