Ground-breaking Stunt Brings Jurassic World to London.  Frank Marshall In Attendance.

Anyone passing London’s South Bank was in for a prehistoric shock this morning when a life-sized mosasaurus apparently burst from the River Thames.
In a literally ground-breaking stunt to mark the release of Jurassic World on Blu-ray and DVD, a seven metre high structure was unveiled at Observation Point at sunrise, apparently bursting through the bank near the Oxo Tower and gobbling a great white shark for breakfast. 
The installation is based on a mosasaurus, one of the hero creatures from Jurassic World, which shattered box office records globally taking in more than $1.6 billion to become the third highest grossing film in history.

Jurassic World’s producer Frank Marshall attended the unveiling of the installation: “It’s incredible to see the mosasaurus come to life here in London. This huge water-leviathan played a crucial part in the film so we’re thrilled to be able to unveil it to the British public today. It is the biggest creature brought to life on screen in all the Jurassic films and the detail in which it has been created here today is just jaw-dropping.”
The mosasaurus was an immense seagoing lizard measuring 18 metres in length, and weighing 5,000 kilograms when it ruled the Cretaceous sea.  It used its fearsome array of teeth to catch fish, birds and other marine reptiles – even great white sharks.  Its closest living relatives are the komodo dragon and monitor lizard.
The sculpture, which has been two months in the making, was created in Cardiff by Wild Creations, who were also behind the velociraptors that appeared at Waterloo Station in June. With the whole structure standing at seven metres tall, five metres wide and seven metres deep, this is perhaps their most ambitious installation yet.
Matt Wild, owner of Wild Creations, said: “We’re honoured to unveil the mosasaurus in London today and couldn’t be happier with how it’s come out.
“The raptors had such an incredible response back in June and when we got the call to go bigger for the Blu-ray and DVD release we were more than happy to rise to the challenge.  The mosasaurus was first sculpted in three quarters of a tonne of clay then moulded in fibre glass, before being airbrushed to finish.  We installed it overnight in order to unveil it this morning at sunrise.”
Shattering records globally, Jurassic World crushed the opening-weekend box-office, scoring the highest domestic, international and worldwide openings of all time.  The film has taken in more than $1.6 billion globally to become the third-highest grossing film in history.  Now fans can experience the thrill and awe when Jurassic World arrives on Digital HD, 3D Blu-ray™, Blu-ray and DVD from 19th October.

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Explaining That "Weird" Cut In Poltergeist. Read The Missing Scene

Why Is There A Strange Cut In The 1982 Horror Classic, Poltergeist? If you're a fan of the 1982 Horror classic, Poltergeist then you will be very familiar with that "weird" cut in the movie.  It's 32 minutes and 47 seconds in to the movie and the scene is where Diane is explaining the strange phenomenon that is happening in the kitchen.  First, she shows to Steve a chair scraping across the floor all on its own then she does the same with Carol Anne.  Steve leans up against the kitchen wall and is completely shocked at what just happened.  It's at this point Diane starts to explain the sensation of being pulled and then...A very abrupt cut.  One moment we are listening to Diane and suddenly it cuts to Diane and Steve at their next door neighbours door.  Why the sudden cut?  It's on the VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray and even the streaming versions.  Why does this awful and weird cut exist in the movie, Poltergeist?  Watch the clip below to see the cut: Well, the ans
