Get Behind the Scenes of Revenge

-

October 15, 2012

New Revenge special behind the scene featurettes have been released, giving us a bit of an insight into the world of Revenge. Revenge is set in a somewhat exaggerated, different world where the rich rules as royalty, and subterfuge is a way of life.

Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) moves into a property in the Hamptons as an independently wealthy and intelligent young woman, but no one knows she’s hiding a secret – a good deal of her neighbours helped put her father in jail and she is planning their downfall. And she is damn good at the whole revenge business. It’s like the grown up version of Gossip Girl, where everyone is still rich and manipulative, but the stakes are higher and more dangerous than social suicide.

Revenge is an intriguing and involving show that keeps you on your toes and has so much forward momentum that you are left begging for another episode at the end of each one.

Check out the featurette for Emily’s home below.

And the featurette for the use of the Hamptons as the show’s setting.

Revenge Season 1 is available NOW for $49.98 – Get it HERE

Dollhouse Season 1 Set for Australian Release

Joss Whedon’s intruiging, yet ultimately doomed, TV show Dollhouse is finally being released in Australia. The first season has been announced for Australian release on DVD and Blu-Ray by Fox Home Entertainment for the 24th of October. As well as having special features, it will include an exclusive bonus comic book (because we all know how Joss likes to use comic books to further his TV shows).

Dollhouse is based around a secret organization that allows rich people to hire out ‘dolls’, implant a personality in them, and have their way with them – not just romantically either. Echo (Eliza Dushku) is a faulty doll who has started remembering beyond the memory wipes.

If you were a fan of Dollhouse the first time around, or just a Whedon fan, then this is a must buy. Keep tuned to Capsule Computers for more information as it comes out about the series DVD/Blu-ray release.

Check out the trailer for the Season 1 release below!

A 90 second trailer has been released for Denzel Washington’s new movie, Flight. It’s quite impressive how much they manage to pack into those ninety seconds, and how interesting the film looks.

Denzel Washington stars as Whip Whitaker, an experienced pilot who lands a plane that falls apart mid air. However, as time goes on and the crash is investigated more, there appears to be more mystery to the whole event and what actually happened. With a cast including Don Cheadle, John Goodman, and Melissa Leo and from Robert Zemeckis, the director of Forrest Gump and Cast Away, Flight looks like it’ll be something worth watching. If for nothing more than watching Denzel Washington be awesome and flip a plane.

Flight is being released in cinemas on February 7, 2013. Keep tuned to Capsule Computers for more information on the film as it is released.

Check out the new 90 second trailer below, along with the full length release trailer below that.

Dead Space: Liberation Coming Soon

Dead Space 3 is attracting a lot of attention as of late, but as far as a plot goes, the game is still looking solid. To get fans ready, EA’s Visceral Games and Titan Books are set to publish a graphic novel by the name of Dead Space: Liberation, giving a bit more information on the narrative that will follow in Dead Space 3 and who exactly you will be partnered with.

Written by long-time science fiction comic book author Ian Edginton and illustrated by popular artist, Christopher Shy, this graphic novel sets up the story of co-op character John Carver in Dead Space 3, the highly-anticipated video game launching February 7, 2013. In addition to this new graphic novel, fans can also look forward to The Art of Dead Space, a new art book featuring more than 300 lavish images, concept sketches and commentary from artists.

Sounds like some solid releases for fans of the franchise. Yes, I’m concerned about the more open world, but as I stated, the story is looking interesting and hopefully, scary. Look for Liberation – and that art book to be hitting shelves soon.

No Multiplayer for Metro: Last Light

THQ have a lot of expectations riding on their shoulders for both WWE 13, and Metro: Last Light as those two blockbusters are needed to keep the company running smoothly for at least the rest of 2013. During E3, it was announced that Last Light would be seeing a multiplayer mode of some sort, but now it appears that has not panned out and the development team would be using their resources to focus on the game’s single player experience.

Here is the official statement as it appears on Metro’s official website:

Since our E3 demo back in June, many of you have been asking about the multiplayer component of Metro: Last Light. We wanted to share some information with you, the Metro community, first.

Throughout the development of Metro: Last light a small, dedicated team had been working on a number of multiplayer prototypes. After E3, we decided to fold this multiplayer team back into the main group and focus 100% of the studio’s resources on the single player campaign. As a result, Metro: Last Light will not ship with a multiplayer component.

Your response to our E3 demo made it very clear that although there was a lot of interest and intrigue around Metro’s multiplayer, the single player campaign is what the fanbase cares about the most.

Some may find this news gloomy – but I can easily say that this makes me much more hopeful for Last Light. While THQ can certainly pull off some decent multiplayer experiences, Metro does not need anything other than single player as this franchise is about atmosphere – first and foremost. I know this must be killing Mr. Online Pass who seems to have a grip on the publisher, but I feel that Metro will do just fine without the tacked in add-on and those who have been shy to look into the game should do so with haste as there is a damn fine product emerging as it is. Metro: Last Light is due out in early 2013.

Thor: The Dark World Story Revealed

Here is our first look at Thor: The Dark World via official plot synopsis, more than a year out from its official release date. It doesn’t offer anything new, but it does confirm what we suspected, and that is a good thing. Read it here;

‘Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself. In the aftermath of Marvel’s Thor and Marvel’s The Avengers, Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.”

Now that the Avengers is done and dusted, it will be great to see the God of Thunder going mano-a-hammer against the forces of evil in his own movie. And why save one world when you can save nine? Thor will come swinging into cinemas November 7, 2013.
