Warner Brothers Pictures have released a new trailer for the upcoming movie Gravity.
Directed by Alfonso Cuarón (Children Of Men), who co-wrote the film with his son Jonás, the space thriller stars Sandra Bullock as an doctor on her first shuttle mission, and George Clooney as a veteran astronaut commanding a shuttle mission for the first time. But when debris from a destroy satelite destroys the shuttle, the two are stranded with limited air and have to figure out a way to survive.
Kotobukiya have announced that they will release an ARTFX+ statue of The Hulk this coming March.
The statue is based on how the Marvel Comics character looks in the current Marvel Now line; specifically, on concept artwork by Adi Granov. It is the first in a planned series of Avengers statues.

Freddy and Jason are teaming up again, but no, not in another movie.
NECA have announced that they’ll release a pair of retro-style action figures for Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare On Elm Street movies and Jason Voorhees from the Friday The 13th flicks.
Both the Freddy and Jason figures will be 8-inches tall, and will have clothing that’s actually made of fabric, just like similar toys were back in the 1970s.
Diamond Select Toys will be releasing the first series of Tomb Raider Minimates next week and, in honor of this, they’ve issued new pictures of what I can only assume is them vacationing on some tropical island.
There will be 12 figures in all, with different sets of two available in different stores.
One collection, which pairs Roth…
with Storm Guard General…
will be only available only online, at comic book stores, or at specialty toy shops, as will the two-fer of Sun Queen…
and Father Mattias (who apparently missed the vacay).
Similarly, the pack with the Scavenger (who also missed this trip) and the and Scavenger Archer…
will only be sold at Toys “R” Us, as will the one with Storm Guard (also not pictured) and Storm Guard Stalker.
Meanwhile, the collections with Lara…
and Scavenger Scout…
will available everywhere, as will the pairing of Battle Damaged Lara Croft and Armored Scavenger. Who are seen here reenacting a scene from Othello.
Regardless of where you buy them, all of the Tomb Raider Minimates will retail for $9.99 each.
Toy makers Funko and Super7 have announced that they will collaborate on a series of toys dubbed ReAction Figures, which they’ll launch in late November with a series of retro-style Alien action figures.
Originally revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, these 3 ¾-inch tall Alien toys are supposedly based on designs for ones that were originally designed when the movie came out in 1979, but were never manufactured, and will even come in vintage-looking packaging.
The series includes the titular star, who has a removable transparent dome, a glow-in-the-dark head, and extendable jaws; Ripley and Dallas, both of whom come with flame throwers; Ash, who has the motion detector; and Kane, who’s in his space suit, which has a removable helmet.
All of the Alien figures will have 4 points of articulation. Or maybe 5. It’s hard to tell from the pictures if their heads move.
According to the press release, Alien figures are just the first of “several licenses to be announced soon.”
No pricing has been announced yet, and the figures aren’t yet available for preordering on Amazon, Funko’s website, or Super7’s, but we’d assume they’ll cost more in November of 2013 than they would’ve in November 1979.
