N(quite)SFW: Ghetto Vader

Made the rounds at E3, but cosplayers no wanna play:



Downloading Soul Saber to listen to while playing Darth Vader on Soul Calibur IV. Perfect!

Sam Witwer!

io9 just posted this belated video interview with Sam Witwer from Comic Con. Excerpt:

So it seems like you always play dark roles, like Crashdown, the Secret Apprentice... and now Doomsday. Are you like the Lord of Darkness?

I'm trying to figure that out. Well, you know, yeah. What's funny about that is the Doomsday character, or Darth Vader's apprentice, or a lot of these characters... they're not straight dark characters. They have other dimensions to them. And I think maybe that's why they offer [those roles] to me, I'm not really sure. In The Mist, I was a nice guy. That didn't work out too well for me.

Dang. Now I'll have to watch Smallville.

SciFi talks with Clone Wars cast and crew

SciFi Pulse has a pretty sweet video from the red carpet at the Clone Wars premiere. Lot's o' interviews with the different voice actors, as well as George and Dave. Clicky

Cloverfield Monster is Emperor's Hand?

This awesome fan-made video by Michael Horn shows the Empire overtaking parts of San Fransisco. Bonnie interviewed him over at the OS blog. Sweet!

Star Wars on G4

I love G4. They have gaming, technology, pop culture stuff, but most of all because they're Star Wars fans, and recently G4 has been letting it all hang out.

They've been rerunning the 1.5 hour Celebration Japan special frequently, with awesome interviews from cast biggies, and have pretty much all of it divided into mutliple video segments on the website. Click here to see them all (I started at page 2, since the end is the beginning in this case). I have to post my favorite video from the lot though, which features our very own starwars.com fellow blogger and GHG Geek 'greenandwhitejedi', who aces the Star Wars quiz while the others flounder (how they didn't know the answers to those questions and still paid to go to Celebration Japan is way beyond me). Sorry fanboys, no Slave Leia Olivia this year, but they do flash back to those golden days with a Japanese twist! More info after the video:



Aside from this awesome Celebration Japan spectacular, X-Play is also running some Star Wars heavy programming centered around the upcoming Force Unleashed release (yeay!). As with CJ, most of the TFU segments are available to view via the site (scroll down to X-Play Previews), sans commercials. Some of the best news from X-Play concerning TFU is that the game is finished and they're putting the playable demo together which we can expect this month!



I've also heard that Steve Sansweet will be on Attack of the Show, but haven't seen it in the programming and I'm not sure if it's happened yet. Anybody?

Triumph at Comic-Con

Get it?

Web Watch: Gemini Division

Looking for something different while waiting for the fall TV line-up? NBCU announced the launch of a new sci-fi web series titled Gemini Division, which will air it's first "webisode" on August 18. Tune in weekly for continuing webisodes on the official Gemini Division website, or "on VOD via Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS and DISH Network, in addition to EST (Electronic Sell-Through) via Amazon Unbox, Microsoft's Xbox LIVE and Zune, NBC Mobile and several online video portals."(Sci Fi Wire)

Set in the "not too distant future", Gemini Division tells a tale of an agent who experiences loss while a war is waged against simulated organic beings (Uh, Cylons?). Below is a preview and a trailer. Also available on the site are making-of videos, which I am avoiding to try and keep it somehwhat real (but maybe I'll cave since I'm a sucker for extras). The filming style looks different. It looks like they're going for a presentation that will easily transfer on mobile devices and web streaming. Not exactly fond of that look, but I'm willing to give it a go.

'The Clone Wars' world premier at LA's Egyptian Theater 8/10/08

There are just too many reviews out there, so I'll just post the following video of the event courtesy of The Associated Press, and this LA Times article. From what I've heard, there was swag a-plenty to go around, then... nothing.



The Clone Wars opens in theater nation-wide on Friday August 15, 2008. In case anyone was wondering.

Fangirl moment with Ewan

Yeah, I *wish* it were a live fangirl moment. I was looking at something on youtube, of which whatever it was I've completely forgotten at this point... one thing led to another, and next thing I knew I had about 20 tabs open, all with video of various Ewan McGregor interviews and clips. Some highlights:

Ewan on Craig Ferguson (his show you dirty monkeys!) from April, parts 1 and 2





Awesome brawl with Leno



NSFW! :O



Talking about Long Way Round



Same show a year (or two?) later, but this time talking Othello and Long Way Down (and more), parts 1 and 2





OMG??

Emperor Palpa-Chin's Food Obsession

This is an oldie, but the voice impersonation is incredible (and rather hilarious)

George Lucas on Charlie Rose 9/9/04

Not sure if I've posted this ever before here, but it's well worth posting again. A classic conversation between two beautiful minds; Charlie Rose talks to George Lucas (58 minutes).

Love Story 2050

My interest is officially piqued. Bollywood makes it's first real leap into the world of sci fi with Love Story 2050 due to release in July (in the USA?). Of course being Bollywood, I don't think they were able to break from the love story theme just yet. The effects have some potential though:

Where Science Meets the Imagination as told by Anthony Daniels

The Star Wars: Where Science Meets the Imagination exhibit just opened at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul, and the Star Tribune has video clips of Anthony Daniels walking through the exhibit pieces, and a cute little opening day video!

Mr. Daniels was also featured on Minnesota Public Radio while in the area for the exhibit. Hear his interviews here.
