Turbo The Movie: A Film By Jarrett Lee Conaway

Jarrett Lee Conaway has made his rounds across the videogame and film industry. He previously worked here at Gaming Horizon Inc. as an Executive Editor back in the days of PSX Network when we were part of IGN.com Affiliation Network and now he is about to graduate at the University of Southern California. So what is this all about? Well, he has completed one of the best (I think so atleast) short film surrounding videogames ever to hit the "small" or even "big" screen.

Entitled, TURBO, is a high-adrenaline short film in the tradition of The Karate Kid and Tron. It tells the story of Hugo Park (Justin Chon, Twilight) a misspent youth whose only outlet for angst is a 4D fighting video game called Super Turbo Arena. When Pharaoh King (Jocko Sims, Crash the Series), the Michael Jordan of cybersports, announces a tournament to determine who will join his pro team, Hugo's sets his eyes on the prize. But Hugo isn't the only gamer who wants fame and glory.

If Hugo wants to win he's going to have to beat Shamus (David Lehre, Epic Movie), the all time Turbo champ at the local Pandemonium arcade, and Ruse Kapri, a feisty prep girl that knows how to win. Realizing he can't win on his skill alone, Hugo turns to his brother Tobias, a former kickboxer whose last match left him confined to a wheelchair. Together the two will mend old wounds and see if a washed up street fighter can teach a troubled teen how to become a virtual gladiator!

Also, there will be a public screening on May 2nd at the Norris Theatre (at the University of Southern California). at 3PM. First come first serve. Turbo will be sold afterwards, for $10 or less. The price has not yet been determined.

Master Chief to Play Supporting Role in Own Film

Disappointing news for Master Chief friends today, as the Halo movie (if it's still in the works at all) has demoted MC to a supporting cast role instead of focusing on him as the main character. If you ever played a Halo game and noticed how MC sort of... lacks anything that would make people think he was a human (ie, a personality), this probably makes sense to you.

Explained Joseph Staten, Bungie writing director, "I think what it boiled down to with the film was really a question of 'Who is the main character of the movie?' Is it the Master Chief or is it somebody else? And over time I think everybody around the table agreed that the Master Chief is best left as the most important supporting cast member."

So if the movie ever does come to fruition it'll be a film that just so happens to have Master Chief in it. Feel free to use your imagination to the right.

Resident Evil 5, Devil May Cry 4 Trailers in RE Extinction Blu-ray Release

Shiva Stella — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:00:00 -0600

Reports were circling this morning that the blu-ray release of Resident Evil: Extinction would boast demos for both Resident Evil 5 and Devil May Cry 4 for the PlayStation 3, however it has now been confirmed via High-Def Digest that this is not the case.

Instead, the Blu-ray format will include high-definition trailers of the two games. Guess it's not a total loss.

CGI Resident Evil Movie Announced, Introducing Biohazard: Degerneration

Shiva Stella — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 14:15:06 -0500

In more Resident Evil news, reports have surfaced that Capcom is currently working with Sony Pictures Entertainment to produce a CGI Resident Evil film entitled Biohazard: Degeneration. According to CVG the movie will boast "groundbreaking visual effects and [a] brand new storyline" that should enhance its appeal to videogame moviegoers everywhere.

No release information is currently available but the buzz says to expect it sometime in 2008. We're also short on voice actor and director details, though no doubt fans would enjoy the return of George A. Romero, who directed the first live-action RE flicks but was replaced for RE: Extinction.

We'll keep you updated.
