August 31, 2010 - War Of The Worlds Interview
the Realm Cast spoke with War Of The Worlds: Goliath director, Joe Pearson at the San Diego Comic-Con last July, and he had a lot of great new info about the movie. We know that the movie might come out this winter to DVD, but it's more likely to come out this spring 2011 in limited worldwide theaters. If everything goes to plan, that extra time will be used to convert the movie to 3D! They should know in the next month if that will happen. When it does get released, there might be different packaging for the DVD with art books relating to Highlander, Heavy Metal, or musician Jeff Wayne. There might also be other merchandising, such as toys. Also, they're thinking about having the next Summer issue of Heavy Metal to include 110 pages of War Of The Worlds. As for the future of Tripod Entertainment, we might see some other properties developed into $20 million live action movies, such as 24 Hour Man (printed in July 2001 and January 2009). Listen to the whole interview for more details.

July 28, 2010 - The Revenge Of Count Skarbek In Fall Issue
The new Previews is out, which had this to say about the Fall issue of Heavy Metal,

"The Revenge of Count Skarbek." It is said that a proper revenge can take time. This is wrong. A proper revenge must
take time. It must be carefully prepared. It must be disguised. It must give no warning. How many years of injustice must
the very civilized Count Skarbek endure until his only hand can finally clench into a vengeful fist?

April 24, 2010 - Immortal Screens Updated
After many hours trying to figure out how to capture blu-ray screens, I finally have my Immortal movie page updated.

Although, I've also added the music video for Beautiful Days by Venus.
