First Look: Pacific Rim/ Elysium
Twitch have got pics of Charlie Humman, Rinko Kikuchi and Idris Elba in Guillermo Del Toro's upcoming mecha-robots v monsters sci-fi Pacfic Rim; and a look at Matt Damon getting all Bruce Willis in Neill "District 9" Blomkamp's Elysium (a future where the rich live on a satellite orbiting Earth). Like the sound of both, intrigued to see what Del Toro does with a plot that sounds very close to late 70s/early 80s anime classic Gundam.

Skate or die: Omar Salazar
I tried to refrain from posting this double-barrelled culture co-opt video, with Nike and Levi's teaming up to take over skateboarding. But the film is so good it would be a shame not too. Not working for the man, just freelancing.
