Building Trek’s Snow Beast
Wired has a great little interview, with tons of pics, with digital monster maker Neville (Cloverfield, Avatar) Page describing how he created Big Red, the snow planet beast in the new Star Trek movie. He used anglerfish as an inspiration, apparently.
Terminator Twitter Game
Sony has launched a Terminator Twitter game in which you can make contact with the resistance. According to the press release: "In the Terminator Salvation Twitter game, members of the human resistance communicate with each other through Twitter and turn to the community for help in decoding intercepted Skynet transmissions. Players earn points through timely assistance in decoding these messages and, with these points, rise in rank within the Resistance Army. Players must constantly be on guard against the machines, which periodically and randomly choose a number of players and penalize them a percentage of their points. A companion blog augments the information within Twitter and hosts a leader board for the game." But surely the Terminators can just join up too? Beware of posts beginning, “Have you seen this boy?"

Close Encounters Of The True Kind?
Does the name Whitley Strieber ring a bell? Apart from being the author of Wolfen and The Hunger, he also popularised the concept of "alien greys" in his book Communion, an apparently "non-fiction" account of his encounter with aliens. He’s also written a graphic novel, The Nye Incidents, about a medical examiner on the hunt of a killer of alien abductees, which is also inspired by true incidents, which has been picked up by Warner Brothers' horror label, Dark Castle, for development as a film, reports Variety.
Sorcerer's Apprentice Set Pics
The bad & Ugly.com has a bunch of set pics from the upcoming Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie, starring Nicolas Cage, which updates the fairy tale to a modern setting. A very Tim Burton-esque modern setting if the photos are anything to go by.
