UKFilmNerd, to piracy in New Flashcard for Nintendo Switch. Team Xecuter might be behind it.
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

This card has two drawbacks as far as I can see. Firstly, there’s no loader to swap between games.

Secondly, it only supports its own format when you back up your own games. The games you download from the net aren’t compatible but it’s assumed the pirates would ‘repack’ their past releases to be compatible.

Here’s a question, would the Switch be oblivious to how the game is stored and download any updates? Do pirated games come complete with the latest available updates?

UKFilmNerd, (edited ) to star_wars in Battle of Hoth with fan added special effects
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

If you can find them on the net, I highly recommend Adywan’s Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. He adds a lot of extra details and general tinkering. Some of which are more noticeable than others. He’s been working on these films for years, and only Star Wars and Empire are available as 8gb SD versions. He paused work on Jedi to start the process all over again in HD.

Furthermore, he’s even gone as far as building his own miniatures, building a life-size Solo in carbonite and filming fans in costume to add to his own edits (just for Jedi). If you find his website, he said the next release should be Star Wars: Revisited in HD during the middle of this year, 2024.

EDIT: I fancied watching these myself and went hunting. Star Wars wa released as a 9GB DVD ISO in PAL and NTSC format. Empire was released as a 7.5gb 720P MKV file.

Theres a dedicated fan called Adywan whose made his own special edition version of the trilogy tastefully adding more effects.

Here’s a clip from his version of the Hoth battle where he incorporates the side panel revealing troops inside. (Yes I know the aspect ratio is wrong, not my clip. 😁)

UKFilmNerd, to star_wars in People who read the Thrawn Trilogy, what do you think of it?
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

After a long drought of anything Star Wars, this was very welcome and it turns out it was a great story as well.

I also remember the Dark Horse adaptation being really good as well.

UKFilmNerd, to movies in TRON: Ares | Gillian Anderson joins cast as filming gets underway

As mentioned in the article, no one from the first two seem to be involved with this third film. Is there any form of connection to the other two?

UKFilmNerd, to movies in Tron 3 (or TR3N) started production today.
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah, Se7en was the first one I remembered. It’s a silly marketing thing that often makes no sense.

The first teaser trailer for Tron: Legacy was revealed at the San Diego Comic Con in 2008. At the end, the title was revealed (excuse the quality, this version of the trailer was never officially released) to be TR2N.

It later transpired that this teaser was a proof of concept test, as Disney had not yet given the project a green light. The trailer was released a year later at the Con and online, but the title had been changed to Tron: Legacy.

Love it! 😆

I did read that one of the reasons they gave Tron: Legacy the green light was because they had no big sci-fi franchise of their own. Once they bought Lucasfilm, their problems were solved and that’s why the plans for a third Tron film fell apart years ago.

I have high hopes for this film because I love the franchise.

@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

Theres a script out there for episode 9 entitled Dual of the Fates, theres also a lot of corresponding concept artwork to go with it.

Sounded infinitely better than the film we ended up with.

Here’s a very long video All about it.

UKFilmNerd, to star_wars in Imperial AT-ATs from the 1980 comic adaptation of Empire Strikes Back
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

Comic adaptations of films are interesting. They quite often used to contain scenes that didn’t make the final film because the were usually based on earlier scripts with a selection of photos so they actually knew what they were drawing.

The Marvel adaptation of Star Wars has a unique version of Jabba in docking bay 94 because no one knew what he was going to look like.

Finally, if you want to see a poor comic adaptation, check out the one for Terminator 2, looks like it was drawn during a lunch break!

As a UK resident, I only know about these because Bill and Ted used some to repair the phone booth time machine.

UKFilmNerd, to movies in "The Mandalorian & Grogu", a new Star Wars film directed by Jon Favreau, will enter the production phase later this year.
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

Really not interested to be honest. Which is a shame as I used to be a much bigger Star Wars fan.

The last film announcement that really excited me was the Rogue Squadron movie but sadly I think that’s effectively been cancelled.

UKFilmNerd, to movies in The DCEU ends not with a bang, but a wimper.

When the review embargo was set for 15 hours after it opened in the UK, I knew the reviews weren’t going to be favourable.

UKFilmNerd, to movies in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F | Official Teaser Trailer
@UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk avatar

There was a pilot for a TV show in 2013. The show was based around Axel Foley’s son but Eddie Murphy appears in the pilot.

The studio thought Murphy would make an appearance semi regularly but when he said no, that killed the show from ever happening.

It’s floating around on the internet if you want to see it.
