Who ‘Q’ – you?
James Bond has just hired a new quartermaster – yes ‘Q’ is back in the Skyfall movie! UK actor Ben Whishaw is the lord of the deadly gadget. We’ll also be seeing Ben in the movie version of science fiction novel (in parts), Cloud Atlas.
David Cronenberg’s movie, Cosmopolis
Whenever David Cronenberg does a film, you know to expect something a long way removed from car chases and the usual Hollywood usual. And so it goes with Cosmopolis (based on the Don DeLillo book).
This is a dystopian near-future cyberpunkish tale of a world living through a continual capitalist hyper-depression, dominated by super-powerful investment bankers – hey, we’re getting there. Robert Pattinson plays one such whiz-kid, who lives in the back of a cyberspace equipped limo, but has to face a few difficult truths when the going gets Cronenberged.
Looks like it could be Naked Lunch meets Wall Street meets Neuromancer.
I hope so…

Elysium
There’s a new pic out from the scifi film Elysium (by that District 9 wunderkind, Neill Blomkamp). This is of Max (Matt Damon), a low-life blackmailed into helping the rich orbital near-space-based overclass into keeping their society safe from all the dirt-poor groundworms on Earth.
Sounds like an updating of the Eloi/Morlocks divide. In fact, Kim Stanley Robinson’s latest novel, 2312, has more or less the same plot at its core. It’s good, but door-stopper large, so am getting through it slowlyyyyy.

Looking good, Peter, looking good. Still not sure about the choice to go for two movies, though.

Dredd your judgement.
Well, I promised you the full trailer for the new Judge Dredd movie, and I wouldn’t want to break my word – in the mega-cities, that crime no doubt carries the punishment of exile to the Cursed Earth. And I’m no stinking mutie, perp!
