Jupiter Ascending - Just What Kind Of Batshit Crazy Space Epic Do The Wachowski's Have Coming Out?

There are not many more polarizing figures in the Hollywood landscape than the Wachowskis. The brothers (or former brothers, now that one is living as a woman...) have been making waves from their very first movie Bound. No one wanted to finance the Matrix films, and when they finally did find someone to greenlite those we got one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time... and a couple of ill conceived sequels as well. But there is no denying that the Matrix franchise proved that original properties could be made into tentpole movies that might even spawn franchises... and that is a good thing no matter how you feel about Neo & the leather clad gangs further adventures. These dudes are extra ambitious when it comes to their projects. Need proof? Check out Speed Racer, V for Vendetta, and Cloud Atlas for proof. All of those films were met with mixed reception from fans, but all of them showed just how committed to their vision for their projects they can be. They do not bend, they do not compromise... nope, they make THEIR films THEIR ways whether the public & the studios likes it or not. Check out their latest project, Jupiter Ascending. Channing Tatum as a intergalactic bad-ass bounty hunter. Mila Kunis as his target and also the potential future leader of the universe. Time travel, gods ruling over the universe, alien bounty hunters... yup, this sounds exactly like a Wachowski film to me. Then there is the casting of Tatum as the lead. This also seems like a very Wachowski thing to do, very similar to Keanu Reeves casting in the Matrix. From the trailer I get the unique look and feel of the Wachowskis, and I am very intrigued by the concept. Cloud Atlas helped sell me on anything future these guys did, because that film looked to be a mess going in and was executed incredibly. I don't know if this puppy will live up to their past accomplishments or be any good, but I will certainly be giving it a shot. Oh, and Eddard Stark himself (Sean Bean) will be along for the ride as well. That is just another reason to get on board. The film release July 18th, 2014. Check out the trailer & posters after the jump....

Winter Is Coming... To A Coffee Shop Near You???

This is a chalk drawing on one of those sandwich boards that stores put outside to attract customers. Whoever is running this coffee shop has some strong geek roots trying to break through on their advertising front, employing the late Eddard Stark (aka Sean Bean) to sell eggnog lattes. This makes the nerd in me smile to no end... check it out after the jump in all its magnificent glory!!!

Sean Bean Has Trouble Staying Alive

Come to think of it...YEAH. Sean Bean does die in like everything. And not just dies, but dies in the most ridiculous and violent ways possible. Like he doesn't just get shot or stabbed, he gets shot like 10 times in a row, or he gets stabbed...and then exploded!

Here's a very thorough and surprisingly kind of emotional montage(the music really makes it) of all his grisly demise's.

WARNING - as there are characters dying here, so it should go without saying there are spoilers for over 20 different films and TV series.



Amazing right?! I think my favorite one is that bit with the cows. W..T..Fing..F?
