‘The Leviathan’ Teaser Shows Potential Sci-Fi Epic!
Ruairi Robinson is at the top of my “directors to watch” list. While his The Last Days On Mars wasn’t everyone’s favorite, his previous shorts and commercial work are astounding – I’m sure many of you remember “Blinky”, the sci-fi short about the psycho-robot?
He was also once attached to Akira, which he would have killed for Warner Bros. He’s clearly a visionary with some incredible talents, and that’s going to be put to use with The Leviathan.
The Leviathan was a proof of concept short that went viral that looks like Jaws in space, with some heavy Alien and Star Wars inspiration.
After spreading across the Web, X-Men writer and producer Simon Kinberg came aboard to produce, says Deadline, with Fight Club‘s Jim Uhls penning the project. Kinsberg’s first-look deal with Fox also gives Robinson potential studio backing should they decide to move forward.
Mankind has colonized many worlds in a time when travel faster than the speed of light has been made possible by the harvesting of exotic matter from the eggs of the largest species mankind has ever seen. Those that take part in the hunt for the matter are mostly involuntary labor.
Home Depot‘s massive 12-foot-tall skeleton decoration went viral back in 2020 and has returned with fresh new upgrades every year since. This year, the 12-foot Skelly gets a voice!
Two different versions of the 12-foot Skelly decoration are up for grabs this year, with the standard version selling for $299 and the app-controlled talking version going for $379.
Home Depot previews the brand new talking version, “The 12 ft. Giant-Sized Animated LED App Controlled Skelly with LifeEyes LCD Eyes leads with interactive smart features with its 12 ft. skeletal presence. Skelly has 20 different customizable LCD LifeEyes™ effects, all easily managed directly through the Decor Pro app.
“App Enabled Skelly has 2 movements: a realistic head movement and an animated mouth that moves with your chosen audio. Take full control of the scares by using the app to record and store up to 30 custom sounds, or speak directly through the figure in ‘live’ mode utilizing built-in voice-changing effects to terrify your guests.”
While it may not be equipped with a voice box, this year’s $299 version of Skelly is no slouch either. He features poseable arms and LCD LifeEyes™ that move and blink, and includes 8 eye effects: Blue Human, Hazel Human, Stars, Hearts, Fireworks, Flames, Dragons and Swirls.
Also brand new this year? The 11-foot Grave & Bones Giant Sized LED Mummy!
The Giant Mummy unearths scare leading with glowing LED lights that illuminate his eyes and decayed chest. This undead mummy features poseable shoulders that allow you to customize his reaching posture, along with included cloth strips that provide a customizable, weathered touch. Activated by motion sensor, he awakens from his tomb with 3 separate sounds.
