    The film is set at 95% during the Second World War, but it starts today, for extracting a block of ice containing a mysterious figure, block located in the wreckage of a giant bomber. The film also ends in our time.

    – The Shield: It is manufactured by Howard Stark, and the white parts are vibranium an indestructible alloy created by Stark Industries [vibranium it is therefore artificial, different from natural vibranium Wakanda, home of the Black Panther] . In his “discovery” in the present, the shield of Captain America will be alongside the hero in the ice.

    – Skull and Red Cube: The Cosmic Cube is hidden in a church in Norway. Red Skull uses a tank to enter. The Cube is used to power a variety of vehicles, including the famous giant bomber, carrying bombs have targeted major U.S. cities and European capitals.

    New information regarding Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception has surfaced via OPM. Issue 57 of the mag reveals some new details on the plot, locales and game mechanics of Nate’s next adventure. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception follows Drake, as he searches for a lost city in the Arabian Peninsula.

    Spoilers Ahead:

    • Drake will be spending most of his time in the Arabian desert, exploring the dunes of Rub’ al Khali.
    • You’ll still be globe trotting, visiting places like London and a jungle temple.
    • You can expect “all the things you’d expect in a desert” – that includes sandstorms and mirages.
    • This creates a dynamic environment to explore, with altering geography, “We’ve done a ton of research…The way sand blows over and curls over the tops of dunes, the way it displaces and flows – it’s almost a liquid,” said creative director Amy Hennig.
    • Plot is based around Lawrence of Arabia and Iram of the Pillars – The Atlantis of the Sands.
    • Drake and Sully are seen in the Empty Quarter, looking for Iram of the Pillars.
    • Apparently, there are bike sections, “We have a strong tradition of vehicular gameplay, and we try not to repeat ourselves,” says ND.
    • Story isn’t set in stone yet, but villain Katherine Marlowe is part of a secret order that dates back to the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
    • This is not Drake’s last adventure, ND stresses that “the Uncharted franchise was never conceived as a trilogy.”
    • Previous characters will be returning, does that include both Elena and Chloe?
    • New melee combat system lets Drake fight multiple enemies at once, but also shows him picking up a bottle from a table and introducing it to an enemy’s face. New stealth moves and mechanics have been added as well.
    • Naughty Dog said, “We’ll be sure to alert everyone if a public beta is in the works this time around.”

    Uncharted 3 is scheduled for a November 1, 2011 release, exclusively on the PS3.

  • New Autobot ‘Sentinel Prime’ & More Spoilers of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon

    // Gradly // blog, Movies, News, Rants & Raves, Superheroes No Responses

    We still haven’t seen an actual trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon yet, just some awesome Super Bowl spot & TV spot.

    In the meantime, Empire debuted a new cover featuring an Autobot called Sentinel Prime, who’s a “big brother and mentor to Optimus Prime.” Obviously he’s going to have to come in and help out. Other news from the mag is that TF3 won’t have “dorky humor” or “sand“, but they will give “weight” to the bots again: “when robots die, they’re really going to die and we’re gonna show that.” Damn.

    Bay describes this third installment as “kind of like a spy movie.” Bay also reveals the Ferrari is a Decepticon named Dreadbox, and there’s a bot that “the scale on one of them is jawdropping.” Can’t wait for more!

    Sentinel Prime – An Autobot who will debut as a red/black Rosenbauer Panther fire truck. Optimus Prime’s brother & Mentor.

    Transformers: Dark of the Moon is again directed by everyone’s favorite explosive director, Michael Bay, of the previous two Transformers movies as well as Bad Boys I and II, The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor and The Island. The screenplay was written by Ehren Kruger, who co-wrote the Revenge of the Fallen script but went solo this time, and also worked on The Ring, The Skeleton Key and Brothers Grimm screenplays. Paramount is bringing Transformers 3 to theaters everywhere in 3D starting July 1st, 2011 this summer!

    Michael Bay shared some plot details for Transformers: Dark of the Moon and they contain some pretty big spoilers.

    Spoilers

    • There will be no sand.
    • There will be no dorky humor (“We wanted to make the movie much more serious, more adult.”)
    • When a robot dies, it will actually die. And that death will be shown onscreen.
    • The robots will be given more ‘weight’ in the story (“They were missed in movie two. We’ve given them a strong back-story and pathos.”)
    • Sentinel Prime is “A big brother and mentor to Optimus Prime”.
    • The Ferrari is a Decepticon nicknamed ‘Dreadbox’.
    • Starscream and Shockwave will have new companions. “The scale on one of them is jaw dropping” – “It will be ‘what the Hell was that thing?”
    • The Apollo 11 ‘incident’ show in the teaser is a big government secret.
    • There will be no army. Chicago is left in the hands of the Autobots (but some heroes sneak in through the back-door so to speak).
    • The human gliders are used because they slip under the Decepticons’ radar – as do humans – so they’ll be the people who can hammer it to the ‘Cons and create an opening for the Autobots.
