Maul Mania is Running Wild! Darth Maul Returns!

Episode I in 3D opened today and really it's all about the Maul. The popular Sith Lord cut down
in his prime has featured prominently in the re-release posters and promos, and he managed to
sneak his way onto the back cover of the Darth Plagueis Novel too, before he makes his full (?) return later this spring on the Clone Wars TV series.So expect the Maul Mania to continue - it is the biggest Star Wars come back since Boba Fett! Who knows where Darth Maul might show up next.

New Amazing Spider-Man (3D) Trailer...Is Pretty Amazing

I was lucky enough to see this trailer and the bonus footage at the Untold Story Sneak Peek Event in New York yesterday. Yep, the one with the live appearance by Andrew Garfeild. Garfield was humble and earnest in discussing the great responsibility to fans of being the new Spidey, and the bonus footage (a lot of which expanded on scenes in the trailer) looked great even if some of it was partially unfinished. Most importantly, at least for me, it featured much more humor and it was very satisfying to finally see some classic taunting banter from Spidey. It was crowd pleasing event and I overheard a lot of real excitement from the fans attending. There's a good description of the event @ MTV which hosted the NYC portion. Geek Tyrant has a round-up of several footage descriptions here, and below are a few cool trailer screen caps via SuperHeroHype which has a big gallery.

Update - Movie Viral found the link markofthespider-man.com hidden somewhere in the trailer's webbing graphics - it leads to a viral site witch mostly features 6 small screens of static...for now.

New Phantom Menace Poster for the 3D re-release. Anakin who?

LA's X-Men: First Class DVD Release Event Features an Almost Holographic 3D Projection on the Roosevelt Hotel

It's 3D Projection Mapping. Pearl Media did the campaign and explains the process...

'The 3D projection turns the side of a building into a movie screen. The technology appears to make solid structures change shape and reveal images that are not really there, such as water flowing from windows or cars emerging from within the walls. It has been around for a couple of years, but is now catching on in promotions.
Pearl Media takes laser measurements of a building to get a realistic view before creating a 3D image of the façade. Animation becomes an overlay. Software renders both pieces together. When complete, a “high-powered projector” projects the image on the building, explains Joshua Cohen, Pearl Media’s president."
