Avatar

James Cameron's much-anticipated (and long-in-development) scifi epic Avatar is now on the way. Here's the newly released trailer, featuring some nice big critters toward the end, as has become fashionable in just about every genre epic:



Synopsis:
In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture. (IMDb)

Psst! You After an Alien?

Well, just in case, below are a couple of lobby cards for ex-X-Files producer R.W. Goodwin's Alien Trespass -- the 1950s sci-fi pastiche we've been talking about here for a while. They give you a good look at the one-eyed alien -- and Robert Patrick, intent on being a small-town sheriff instead of an FBI agent or Terminator.

Update: Galactic Raiders

We've previously reported on Larry Arpin's exciting independent sci-fi film, Galactic Raiders, but now Kaiju Search-Robot Avery has received another update from the director.

Arpin:
I've attached these pics of what I am working on and the room I am working in. On the computer screen you can see a scene of the main character that I am adding lasers to as he is shooting the creature I am building. This is the second time I've had to build this creature as I had a mishap with the mold. I recorded out about 5 minutes of effects just recently. This included scenes from reels 1, 2, & the last reel. I've also blocked out one of the opening sequences containing many creatures.




Nice.
