Link Tank: Why The Martian Fans Needs to Read Project Hail Mary

New DVD release, ,
Project Hail Mary sees sci-fi author Andy Weir going back to what made The Martian so successful. “Project Hail Mary, the third book by Andy Weir, finds the author going back to what made him famous in the first place. Weir rose to fame with The Martian, a book (and eventually a movie) about a man stranded on Mars who uses complicated, compelling science to get himself home. While Weir’s second book, Artemis, deviated from that formula, his latest harkens back to The Martian’s formula, just with bigger stakes and one major addition.” Read more at Gizmodo. John Boyega is…

Project Hail Mary Review

New DVD release,
After the runaway success of The Martian, culminating in a big budget Hollywood blockbuster helmed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon, expectations have run high for each new Andy Weir book. His sophomore effort, Artemis, was a change of pace, a science fiction thriller set inside a city on the Moon. Project Hail Mary uses a broader canvas as the backdrop for an interstellar race against time, but it still cleaves to Weir’s favorite themes: competence in the face of adversity, and a willingness to fight for survival. One key difference is that the stakes are higher in Project…

Topps Project 70 Explained

New DVD release, ,
This article is presented by: Back in 1951, the New York Yankees were still on top, the Dodgers were in Brooklyn, the Giants roamed New York’s Polo Grounds, and fans could collect the first set of Topps playing cards at one cent for a pack of two. Needless to say, a lot has changed the past 70 years, all of the above remain woven into the fabric of baseball. And much like last year’s Topps Project 2020, the trading card giant is giving artists the freedom to put their own stamp on traditional trading cards with Project70. Coinciding with Topps’…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Henry Cavill has set tongues wagging this week by giving his fans a blurry look at a potential “secret project” on the way.

WandaVision Empathizes With its Characters Better Than Any Other MCU Project

New DVD release, , , , ,
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. As much as we love it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been great about telling complex emotional stories. Perhaps that’s understandable, as the franchise’s various Avengers must regularly wrestle with potentially world-ending stakes and still somehow save the day, all within a two-and-a-half-hour theatrical runtime. These aren’t stories that generally time to be but so concerned with things like the psychological trauma that inevitably resulted from these life-or-death events or how our heroes are meant to heal from them, provided they manage to do so at all. Thankfully, WandaVision seems determined to change that,…

Star Trek: Nichelle Nichols’ Final Project Isn’t a Fan Film

New DVD release, , ,
Nichelle Nichols is about to retire from acting forever, but her final project will be a time-and-space-spanning adventure that will find her co-starring alongside a new actor, Loren Lott, playing her younger self. But, Lott is not playing a younger version of Nyota Uhura from Star Trek, but instead, a new sci-fi anti-hero called Ominara. “What would Uhura’s character be like in the Mirror, Mirror universe?” Frank Zanca, producer of Renegades: Ominara tells Den of Geek. “Because Nichelle has Alzheimer’s and is retiring, we kind of wanted to do a send-off. Instead of Uhura, it’s Ominara, and she’s the captain…

Project 007 Could Be the Spy Game James Bond Never Got

New DVD release, , ,
Developer IO Interactive shocked the world today by releasing a teaser trailer for a new James Bond game known simply as Project 007. I highly recommend you check out the teaser trailer for this Bond origin story project if you haven’t already done so. It has been eight long years since the release of the last James Bond game. If you’re wondering why it feels like it’s been even longer than that, it’s probably because 2012’s 007 Legends was a poor attempt at not only recapturing the glory days of Bond himself (its gimmick was that you got to play…

Netflix’s Project Power, and the Creatures That Inspired Each Ability

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Spoilers for Project Power to follow Not for nothing are we called Den Of Geek. So when we were given the chance to chat with Project Power directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost and discovered that for the film they basically became massive science and nature nerds in creating some of the effects, this was very much ‘our bag’.  Project Power imagines a world where a street drug, just known as ‘Power’ imbues the user with almost super-heroic abilities but for just five minutes. The trouble is, exactly what powers you are going to get can’t be predicted. Some get…

This article contains Project Power spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here. Netflix’s new superhero movie, Project Power, merges historical abuses of power in science and medicine, and melds them with an action-packed crime movie centered around a new street drug that gives its users powers.

Project Power

Max SchindlerMovie reviews,
On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. The catch: You don’t know what will happen until you take it. While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction. But when the pill escalates crime within the city to dangerous levels, a local cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teams with a teenage dealer (Dominique Fishback) and a former soldier fueled by a secret vendetta (Jamie Foxx) to fight power with power and risk taking the pill in order to track down and stop…

Sophia Chang realized interest in her work on Topps Project 2020 was skyrocketing when her street art-inspired Jackie Robinson card was auctioned on eBay for $4,500. To the artist, it was a green flag. “I was like, ‘Whoa, something is happening here and I need to pay attention to this.’” Chang was not alone.

Recently uncovered footage reveals that Ghost of Tsushima developer Sucker Punch was previously working on a now-canceled project known as Prophecy. This information seems to have originated from the portfolio of a Sucker Punch character artist which contained footage of a work-in-progress version of Prophecy. The portfolio has since been taken down, but fans have managed to save and spread the footage via various forums. While most of what we “know” about Prophecy is really just speculation based on analysis of that footage, it should be noted that the footage appears to have been taken from a version of Prophecy…

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
Project Power has all the makings of a big screen blockbuster, bringing bankable stars in Jamie Foxx and a back-from-hiatus Joseph Gordon-Levitt, along with an insane array of onscreen action effects.

The Blair Witch Project to Skyman: How Director Daniel Myrick Came Full Circle With His New Sci-Fi

New DVD release, , , , , ,
“Blair Witch, which I consider incredibly fortunate to have been a part of, does come with its own set of baggage,” says Daniel Myrick, one half of the duo who made the found footage phenomenon which scared the hell out of audiences when it was released in cinemas in 1999 and went on to change the face of horror as we know it. We’re chatting (via Zoom) in the context of Myrick’s new movie, Skyman, a documentary style sci-fi which feels like it could be real, featuring elements of found footage and starring relative unknowns Michael Selle and Nicolette Sweeney,…
