BIG Chief Studios Ltd  announced today that it is to produce a range of high-end collectable figures based on the classic James Bond film series. Working in collaboration with EON Productions, producers of the James Bond films, BIG Chief's first wave of figures will feature characters from the 1964 Bond classic Goldfinger, including: agent 007 James Bond (Sean Connery) in his iconic grey three-piece suit; treacherous villain Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe); and formidable henchman Oddjob (Harold Sakata). Initial product offerings will be focused around the very first Bond films featuring Sean Connery as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 and will include the world-dominating villains, lethal henchmen and intelligent enchanting women of Bond. The highly detailed figures will feature accurate character likenesses, authentically styled hand-tailored costumes and accessories. The range will then be further enhanced and expanded with additional characters from the James Bond film ser...

Love it or hate it, the fourth installment in the Jurassic World franchise made a pile of cash bigger than a steaming pile of dino-dung.  So it's no surprise that more movies in the franchise are guaranteed.  It earned over $1.6 billion worldwide and is the fourth highest-grossing movie of all time (not accounting for inflation). Yesterday Spanish director JA Bayona who is taking over the director's chair from Colin Trevorrow for the sequel said in a recent interview that the plan is to create a new trilogy “truthful to the legacy” of Steven Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park films while modernising them for a new audience. “The whole Jurassic World is a trilogy that Colin Trevorrow as envisioned. We’re writing the second chapter and it’s very interesting where he’s leading the story,” he told LRM. “I grew up watching Steven Spielberg movies and I love those movies and the legacy, so it’s a question of being truthful to the legacy and at the same time, bringing new st...

SULLY Starring Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhardt, Laura Linney, Mike O'Malley, Jamey Sheridan and Elizabeth Davis Screenplay by Todd Komamicki Directed by Clint Eastwood The trouble with being a prolific director is that no matter how accomplished you are, no matter how many classic you've delivered, in the eyes of both critics and audiences you are often only as good as your last picture. Clint Eastwood has been around for so long, and given us so many films, that his only peer in terms of the number of classics vs. the number of forgettable failures  he's given us is probably Woody Allen. Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Pale Rider, Bird, The Outlaw Joe Wales and others have come close to perfection, while others ranging from The Eiger Sanction to J. Edgar have left us scratching our heads. And often opinion is divided; we loved Invictus , even if it failed to find an audience, but  as much as we tried, we just didn't love American Sniper,  a movie whi...

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg reveal their insights into Rockwell's art and why certain works appealed to them.

George Lucas uses the force. This is a from a 1988 Panasonic advert.  This is ridiculous, ludicrous even.  I mean come on.  Video cameras were never that big were they?

Every year, all of Lucasfilm would have a company meeting and each division would give the company an update on what they've been up to for the past year. This is the video that Lucasfilm Games (later LucasArts) prepared for the meeting in 1987 featuring the first MMO, "Habitat", "Labyrinth", "P.H.M. Pegasus", an educational experimental project with National Geographic called "GTV", "Maniac Mansion", "Black Hawk" (never released), "Task Force 1990" (released as "Strike Fleet"), plus a surprise cameo at 3:03.

Technically Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the first sequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark as Temple of Doom was a prequel set in 1935 to Raiders 1936. Here are 25 behind the scenes photos from the 1989 classic. Deleted scene from Last Crusade.  When Indy stepped on one of the wrong stones in the trials at the end, a huge spider appears and climbs up Indy.

Tasting of  "peanut butter and chocolate-flavored crispy, sweetened 2-grain cereal". The cereal pieces came in the shapes of the capital letters "E" and "T" to spell everyone's favourite alien. It was said the reason for the flavour was to emulate Reese's Pieces sweets which of course was used in the 1982 Steven Spielberg directed movie.  Here's some more photos along with a retro TV commercial.

Directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, produced by Gary Kurtz along with matte paintings by Industrial Light and Magic to name a few, The Dark Crystal is worthy of being mentioned on The Bearded Trio.  Not only that the movie is a cult 80's classic and to be honest we need no excuse to show behind the scenes photos from a movie especially when Jim Henson is shown producing his magic.
