Australian billionaire will build Titanic II
Apr 30th
SYDNEY: One of Australia’s richest men, Clive Palmer, on Monday unveiled plans to build a 21st century version of the doomed Titanic in China, with its first voyage from England to New York set for 2016. Palmer, a self-made mining billionaire, said he had commissioned state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling Shipyard to construct Titanic II with the same dimensions as its predecessor. “It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic but of course it will have state-of-the-art 21st century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems,” Palmer said in a statement

Apr 29th
TOKYO;TAIPEI: LG Electronics will steal a march on its rivals by bringing forward the launch of a 55-inch flat TV using next-generation technology, raising the stakes in a cut-throat battle for the living room between Asia’s top tech powerhouses. The South Korean firm will introduce its organic light emitting display (OLED) TV in several European countries in May, well ahead of an original plan to launch in the second half, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. That would edge out cross-town rival Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) and cement, at least for now, South Korean dominance in the television market over long-time leaders Japan, but it also highlights the fierce competition reshaping Asia’s flat panel industry.

Feb 20th
We have just given you an update regarding the highly anticipated Call of Duty title for the PS Vita, but now it looks like we have the first substantial leak on the next Call of Duty game for consoles and PC. There has been a lot of speculation regarding the next game being a direct sequel to Black Ops, and it seems like a large piece of that puzzle has now been solved, thanks to the inadvertent help from Amazon France. Not for the first time, Amazon has once again spilled the beans on a major game release and although this is obviously not 100% official yet, it was reported over the weekend that Amazon France had put up a listing online for Call of Duty Black Ops 2

Feb 11th
Walt Disney Pictures began work on a Kung Fu action-adventure flavored cinematic retelling of the Snow White fairy tale over a decade ago. In the wake of Relativity Media’s colorful “modernized” spin on the story ( Mirror Mirror ) and Universal’s own Medieval fantasy variation on the fable ( Snow White and the Huntsman ) both hitting theaters in 2012, the Mouse House has since wisely decided that a change of plans was in order. The Disney flick – long known as Snow and the Seven – was eventually re-named The Order of the Seven in Summer 2011, based on the logic that the project (back then) was only slated to contain a handful of allusions to the original Brothers Grimm story

Feb 6th
Relativity Media is wisely taking advantage of Super Bowl XLVI to drum up interest for the fast-approaching release of Act of Valor – a film project two years in the making, due to the limited availability of its central cast, which is composed primarily of real active-duty Navy SEALs playing… well, themselves. Everything from the acting crew featuring actual military personnel, to the use of live ammunition during combat sequences – and directors Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh utilizing mobile Canon 5D Mark II cameras, in order to literally get in the middle of the action – is meant to make Act of Valor a largely accurate portrayal of SEAL operation techniques (not to mention, a high-octane viewing experience)
