Hard to believe, but “Luke Skywalker” is sixty years old today.  Hamill may have not gone on to huge movie fame like his Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford, but a look at his IMDB entry lets you know he has been plenty busy doing voice work for animated programs.  Looking at his resume, I get [...]

Check out the short film by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp, which some are claiming is a viral ad campaign for his mysterious full-length Elysium movie project of which we know little except that it is going to be “sci-fi.” If all goes well, we might see a feature film by 2012.
