Star Wars Celebration: Funko Exclusives

Many exclusives will tie in to the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Fan conventions are unique opportunities to get together with fellow enthusiasts to celebrate our favourite movies and TV shows, interact with people who helped make them a reality, and buy exclusive merchandise to commemorate the occasion. George Lucas created one of the world’s biggest franchises, which in turn inspired one of the largest fandoms. Star Wars Celebration (SWC) launched 20 years ago and has been held in cities around the world. This year, it’s returning to the east coast with its first show in Chicago from April 11 to 15. The 13th edition also marks the 20th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

    A new year often means fresh beginnings, but also a look back at the accomplishments of the previous year.

  • First glimpse of Vision in new ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ trailer

    If there’s one thing Marvel fans can’t complain about, it’s lack of content. At 6 a.m. Wednesday morning, the official Avengers Twitter account called its followers to action: “It’s go time, Marvelites: Tweet using #AvengersAssemble to unite & unlock an epic new #Avengers #AgeOfUltron Trailer!” Fans answered in full force and the latest peak at the superhero sequel was unsurprisingly published to the studio’s YouTube account earlier this afternoon.

    There is a general perception that manga comics mostly contain fantastical stories about young people with magical powers who battle evil in colourful costumes or dark tales of brooding teens dealing with the supernatural. Although those comprise a large portion of the narratives available, there is another variety consisting of thoughtful dramas, often historically based, that chronicle the lives of ordinary people. These have served as the source for several celebrated Japanese animated films, the latest of which is titled In This Corner of the World.

  • Mutants, monsters and kick-ass women dominate Digital Film Fest

    There are those films that you’ve watched more times than you can count, wearing out your VHS copy (if you still remember what those are) and now keeping the tradition alive with regular viewings of the enhanced disc version even though you know every scene like the back of your hand. But there’s that one experience still eluding you — you haven’t seen it on the big screen. Since 1999, Cineplex has been trying to help you remedy this weakness with its annual Great Digital Film Festival. For one week, theatres across Canada play host to Hollywood’s greatest classics and fan favourites.

  • ‘It’ trailer may be too scary for audiences (Includes first-hand account)

    The remake of Stephen King’s It hit a significant roadblock in 2015 when writer/director Cary Fukunaga left the project due to differences regarding the film’s vision and budget. His departure delivered a major blow to those intrigued by his take on the story about a tightknit group of friends who take on an alien devourer as children — and then adults — in their small New England town. But New Line was determined to move ahead with the production. A couple of months later, they tapped director Andrés Muschietti, who made waves with his horror feature Mama, to take over the two-part film adaptation. This announcement was followed by the casting of Bill Skarsgård in the title role, a.k.a. Pennywise, which was originally played by Tim Curry. Recently, a series of disturbing photos featuring the otherworldly, evil clown were released. And now finally, the first trailer has arrived.
