London-based Tremulant Design have created an awesome infographic of how the future might pan out if the predictions of movies prove to be anything like correct. It covers a whole range of futuristic movies such as Blade Runner, V for Vendetta and WALL-E and also covers all of the big movie series such as Terminator, Aliens and Star Trek. That brief description doesn’t do justice to this epic project though as it has over 70 movies listed!

With so many films in the list with a lot of well-known titles some of the films covering the same space, or should that be time, don’t entirely share the same future vision and if I had to pick one of these conflicts then it would be the year 3,000 when the opposing views of the future come from Futurama and John Travlota’s “Battlefield Earth”! Before you scream in offended anguish I know Futurama is technically a TV show but I, and probably lots of other people, would forgive it anything if it can save us from “Battlefield Earth”!

It was Michael Hobson of Tremulant who compiled this amazing piece of work, although I should point out that in doing so he has incurred my everlasting loathing for coming up with such an outstanding illustration before me, and just to add insult to injury he says it’s his first attempt at an infographic too! Seeing as I never won a fight at school I’m always averse to engaging in fisticuffs so, putting our differences to one side, I’d recommend that you scroll down (click to view) or head on over to their site to see the whole list in it’s full glory.

Fellow film blogger Alex Billington at FirstShowing.net has conducted an insightful interview with Wachowski Brothers’ protege, James McTeigue. As well as answering questions about Ninja Assassin and why he opted for CG blood, he talks about his first film V for Vendetta, his upcoming project The Raven, a bit about his filmmaking background, but most interestingly about his thoughts on his proposed Superman movie.

McTeigue states that he would want to make substantial changes to the traditional Superman mythology in order to update the character so he can exist in modern society. After the disappointment that was Superman Returns, all the legal problems between the various owners of the Superman property, and Diane Nelson (head of newly formed DC Entertainment) announcing that any proposed Superman films are currently on hold, things are not looking too good for The Man of Steel.

All legal issues aside, I do believe that the biggest problem Superman faces is that he is a hero that just does not seem relevant in today’s world. That is why I fully support McTeigue’s ideas of re-imagining the Superman mythos if he gets the chance to.

Watch the interview here.

Ninja Assassin goes on general release on November 25th in the USA, but unfortunately folks in the UK must wait until January 8th 2010 to see McTeigue’s ninja film.
