FANTASTIC PROOF-OF-CONCEPT CLIP: 'RISE'

From up-and-coming film-maker David Karlak, and currently under development at Warners, this fantastic clip looks like a superb addition to the hot trend for 'sentient machine' movies that we flagged up last year with Ex_Machina, Chappie and Automata. Science Fiction always has a knack of cleverly assimilating contemporary fears and paranoias into the realm of fantastic fables...is there something in the air, we wonder? Clip features Star Trek's Anton Yelchin, and Man in the High Castle's Rufus Sewell.

Can't wait to see the full movie!

'HIGH RISE': NEW MOVIE, STARRING TOM HIDDLESTON

Based on JG Ballard's 1975 novel, and flying the flag for the polarising 'brutalist' architecture of post-war UK, this great-looking clip and poster campaign ( courtesy of Empire Design ), make director Ben Wheatley's film a refreshing alternative to the forthcoming flood of US fantasy blockbusters in 2016.

COKE'S 'HULK vs. ANT-MAN' AD

(MARCH 2023 - A LOT OF VISITS TO THIS PAGE, SO LINK HAS BEEN RESTORED!)

After Fox's DEADPOOL ( released Wednesday in the UK and Friday in the US ), there are SIX more major comic-book adaptations to come this year. This brilliant advert, featuring two long-time Marvel stalwarts, is surely the precursor of what will be a tsunami of brand promotions and tie-ins, all off the back of what is now a hotly contested and multi-billion dollar industry.

Editor's note: No way this can of Coke doesn't EXPLODE when that ring is pulled.

BRAND-NEW FIXT SIGNING: THE ALGORITHM

Anything new on FIXT is a big deal, and this French signing ( formed in 2009 by programmer and composer Rémi Gallego, with drummer Mike Malyan added in 2011 ), is no exception. 

A mixture of Mathcore, Melodic Metal, and Prog Rock, The Algorithm's complicated soundscapes are perfectly encapsulated by their band logo: An unreadable piss-take of a 'Black Metal' insignia guaranteed to generate interest from the modern metal hardcore...as well as great t-shirt sales!
