There is this crazy internet rumour saying Galactus in the new Fantastic Four movie will be nothing more than a giant cloud.

Geek Monthly has posted an image from a new TV ad for Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, which clearly shows a shadow being cast over Saturn in the shape of Galactus’ helmet. Could we have been worrying for nothing? Is he going to resember his comic form? Or is it just a cloud shaped like Galactus?

I guess we still won’t know until the movie is actually out, but this little image gives us some hope that we’ll still see a man the size of a planet in a funny purple hat.

One is the alter-ego of Andy Kaufman, one is the evil menace from Snake Mountain. Together they duet a variation on a popular song.

Thanks to Joey O for sending this my way.

This is the deluxe Autobot Jazz figure for the 2007 Transformers movie. After watching, leave a comment or read more posts about Transformers!

Director Christopher Nolan has announced to USA Today that 4 major action scenes from The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, will be filmed in 70mm IMAX film.

I know what you’re thinking: You saw Spider-Man 3, Pirates, Matrix, Star Wars and every other movie available in IMAX for years now. Well this is different, because those features were still shot on 35mm film and simply stretched. No additional detail was made available. By shooting the biggest parts of the movie in IMAX, Nolan will be able to give viewers a real experience you can’t duplicate in a smaller theater or at home.

Of course we don’t know all of what will be big as life in the movie, or how much of the final movie it will be, but Nolan did say the introduction of The Joker would be one of the IMAX scenes. The above image is a slide from that shoot, with two bank robbers wearing clown masks. One of them is the Joker, I’m sure.

This video contains naughty language and jokes only Transformers fans will like.

“Heavy Metal Fight” features Optimus Prime preparing to fight Megatron One-on-One.

Dr Smoov has done some good Transformer spoofs in the past, which you can watch in our previous post.

Here’s the trailer for Lucasfilms’ new Clone Wars show. Yep.

Sure looks nice. I guess. Didn’t this show already come out? Oh yeah, it was way back in 2004. I notice some repeat sets, repeat characters, probably repeat events. I know George is fond of Special Editions but did he have to go and order a remake of the only good Star Wars to be commited to the screen this decade? Some 30th Anniversary!

We’ve got not one, but TWO Guitar Hero sequels heading our way.

Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks The 80s will be out this summer and will be functionally identical to Guitar Hero II, just with an 80s theme. It will be released only to the PS2, but songs from the disc are likely to appear as downloadable content on Xbox Live for Xbox 360.

Guitar Hero III will hit PS2, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360. The new guitar designs will be based on the Gibson Les Paul (my guitar!) and the Gibson Kramer (seen at left with celebrity endorsement)

Songs revealed so far after the break [Read the rest of this entry…]

Theres not much more about these games that hasn’t been said by myself or aDam, but if you missed out on them, Lucasarts is compiling all the gameplay from both LEGO Star Wars games into one monster title called LEGO Star Wars The Complete Saga. They’re throwing in some new stuff of course, and the DS game is going to be new from the ground up (which is good because the port of LSW 2 didn’t go over so hot).

PS3 and Wii owners will of course be happy to get the games for the first time on their platforms, but XBox 360 players might feel slightly cheated. LSW 2 came out on the system only last year, and added download content from the prequel trilogy for a price. Oh well!

No release date or price yet, but it should be soon, and even at $60 its reasonable cost for the mountain of solid fun for all ages game play.
