New Designed Lucasfilm Website Launched. New Star Wars Rebels Section.

Today sees the launch of the new squeaky clean and rather slick Lucasfilm website. Featuring rolling behind the scenes photos from Indiana Jones and Star Wars the site has four main sections along the top. Film & TV is so nice to look at with banners for each movie Lucasfilm has produced including Howard The Duck. If you click on Star Wars you are treated to some wonderful concept artwork for the upcoming Star Wars Rebels.

The "What We Do" section leads you to links to Skywalker Sound, ILM and more including Games. Here the games section lists some the recent games such as Tiny Death Star, Angry Birds Star Wars and Battlefront. Right at the bottom of the games section there are a few shout outs to some of Lucasarts greatest moments such as Monkey Island and Grim Fandango. Now I might be clutching at straws here but its Grim Fandango that is singled out on the retro side and a quote mentions the game:

LUCASARTS’ GRIM FANDANGO WAS THE COMPANY’S FIRST GAME TO BE RENDERED IN 3D POLYGON GRAPHICS, WHICH COMPLEMENTED ITS UNIQUE ART STYLE.

Are they wetting our appetite for a remake of the popular point n click game? I really hope so.

Head over to the official site and check it out. http://lucasfilm.com/

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

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
