“After Earth”: Will Smith's Parenting Movie
New Yorker (blog)
The director M. Night Shyamalan and Gary Whitta wrote the screenplay for “After Earth,” but Will Smith wrote the story.
Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

The action is set a thousand years after humanity had to evacuate a despoiled Earth for a distant solar system, to which the species has adapted. Mankind’s main obstacle is a monster race, called Ursa, which is blind and detects its human prey by smell—literally, by the scent of fear, as it emerges in the form of pheromones.

Kickstarter Watch: Lady Sabre & the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether

Kickstarter Watch: Lady Sabre & the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether | Machinimania | Scoop.it

Comics industry luminaries Greg Rucka (write) and Rick Burchett (artist), both winners of multiple Eisner Awards, teamed up two years ago to create the steampunk adventure webcomic, "Lady Sabre & the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether." It was an immediate hit. Now they have a Kickstarter project to raise funds to bring the first five chapters out in a high-quality, full-color print edition. Within eight hours they had met their funding goal. With six days to go until the June 5th closing date coming up, they've got over 2,100 backers pledging $105K. 

Henrik Safegaard - Cloneartist's insight:

Writer Greg Rucka and artist Rick Burchett are household names to comics and graphic novel fans. Both are veterans of DC Comics and Marvel, and multiple Eisner Award winners, having worked on the most prestigious titles, such as Batman and Superman.


Interesting project.

Though your channel's landing page might appear simple (and it's grown simpler over the years), there are a number of features you can fine-tune to optimize a viewer's experience.
