RIP James Gandolfini

What a gutter. The Sopranos star has died at 51, in Italy. Thanks for a great show Tony.

Douglas Trumbull: UFOTOG

Short looking at FX legend Douglas Trumbull's plans to get some HD UFO footage. Good idea. More details of a feature-length drama he's planning (about a man who wants to film some UFOs) over at THR - shooting in 4K 3D at 120 frames per second. He's also developing "a sci-fi epic that takes place about 200 years in the future”. We're in.

UFOTOG, an acronym for UFO photography, is “based on a longer screenplay that I have” that tells the story of a man’s attempt to photograph an alien spacecraft. “He’s very smart, a serial entrepreneur, like Elon Musk. So he has the wherewithal to get a really good camera and build a system on a mountaintop.” The photographer is played by actor Ryan Winkles.

Apocalypse, NOW!

Hollywood's really in an end-of-days mood at the moment. There's This Is The End (Seth Rogen and his stoner pals hang out at the end of the world); The World's End (Simon Pegg and his mates do the same thing on a pub crawl); Rapture-Palooza (Craig Robinson comes back from This Is The End only this time - he's got horns); and there's World War Z (a global zombie showdown), Pacific Rim (giant monsters v giant mechasuits), even Man Of Steel gets to fend off some serious intergalactic architectural destruction. Plus there was last year's Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World; not to mention the planet-wars in Eylsium and Ender's Game, and then Oblivion and After Earth which fast-forward to look at what the planet's like after everything's been wiped out. Are they trying to tell us something?
