A couple of new poster releases have come out of Comic-Con for:- The Hobbit (x 2) Pacific Rim The Expendables 2 Detachment The Tall Man There has been plenty of negative feedback on Peter Jackson's experimental filming of The Hobbit in 48 fps, with many claiming the high frame rate strips away the cinematic feel and replaces it with a more TV soap opera experience.

Today a one minute long clip of the "Prometheus landing" has been released. It's not too spoilerific, but to geeks world wide the most appealing aspect has got to be the colourful control panels on display. The visual effects and cinematography of just this clip are pretty darn amazing and only make me want to consider booking that midnight screening even more - who am I kidding, I was always going to see the midnight screening!

Prometheus, the follow up to Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien, has just launched its first international trailer today. Written by LOST creator Damon Lindelof and Jon Spaihts, the story precedes the events of Alien, but is not directly connected to the films in the Alien franchise....so half way between a reboot and a prequel then.
