Interview and Preview of BLACK FIELD
Back in 1453, the rising Ottoman empire overtook the Byzantines and, as they had done on numerous other nations they' d invaded, they set a military occupation over what later came to be the Greek nation. The occupation lasted for almost four centuries, until the Turks were overthrown by the Greek revolution that broke out in 1821.
One of the reasons the Turks stayed in charge for so long, was a drafting method they implemented to renew their military forces, while reducing the youth population of the various occupied nations. It was known as devshirme, or children-gathering, and the main idea was to take away male children at a very young age and raise them as Turkish soldiers, undergoing a very rough and strict military training, part of which was the conversion to Islam and the programming of hatred towards their mother-nations. The soldiers came to be known as janizaries (from the Greek word yenos, or jenos, which translates to descent).
As a result, parents of sons, would seek out various methods to spare their children, and the most common practice would be to send them, at the youngest age possible, to one of the numerous female Christian convents of the time, and have the nuns raise them as girls, never allowing the boys to know of their anatomical difference to the other nuns.
That’s the historical axis around which Vardis Marinakis spins his drama about a young janizary warrior, who manages to escape his Turkish masters and reach the motherland to find himself wounded and in the care of a group of nuns at a Greek female convent. Obviously, he falls in love with one of the nuns, and after they elope to avoid him being found by the Turks, he discovers the nun is actually a boy.
His drama about two people of such similar and yet so disparate fates, is a composed study in the ideas of sexual and national identity, how one’s idea of identity is formed, and how one’s mind and soul might be plagued by chains due to lack of freedom to form his own version of identity.
Coupled by the jaw-dropping cinematography by Marcus Waterloo and underlined by Marinakis’ expertly choreographed direction, his remarkable elegance and impeccable sense of timing, Black Field is a haunting vision of one of Greece’s darkest moments of history, encapsulated in a beautiful, yet despairing claustrophobic environment, that is uplifted by masterfully economic performances by new-comers Hristos Passalis (also star of Greek sensation, Dogtooth) and Sofia Georgovassili, as well as veteran thespian Despina Babadelli.

J.J. Abrams in Talks to Produce Micronauts
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, "Lost," "Alias") is in talks to produce a movie about the Japanese interchangeable toys Micronauts, which Hasbro just acquired.First released in Japan in 1974 (under the name Microman), the toys were imported to the U.S. by the Mego Corporation in 1976. The line consisted of 3.75-inch tall toys which used a universal, five millimeter inter-connective design. Mego cancelled the Micronauts line in 1980. In 2002, Palisades Toys bought the rights to reproduce Micronauts.
The Micronauts comic books were published by Marvel Comics, Image Comics, and Devil's Due Publishing. Their first comic appearance was in "Micronauts #1" (Marvel, Jan. 1979) with characterizations created by Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden.
Abrams tells the newspaper that those who doubt whether a board game or science-fiction toy should be accorded star status will be proved wrong.
"Sometimes, when someone is not a celebrity and you are casting them in a role, everyone who is in a seat of authority voices questions about that actor's talent, sex appeal, looks, ability -- their everything," he says. "But then they get the role, and suddenly they are on the cover of every magazine, and nobody questions those things again. In retrospect, everyone says, 'Of course that person is a star.'"

Halo Legends Animated Films Coming
Go deeper into the Halo universe than ever before with Halo Legends, an all-new, CG and traditional anime PG-13 experience that presents enthralling new stories from one of the world’s most popular video game franchises. Produced by 343 Industries, a part of Microsoft Game Studios, the exciting tales-beyond-the-games will be distributed February 9, 2010 by Warner Home Video as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-Ray for $29.98 (SRP) and $34.99 (SRP), respectively, as well as single disc DVD for $19.98 (SRP) due date for all versions is January 5, 2010.
Halo Legends is a seven-story anthology – told across eight spectacular episodes – that explores the origin and historical events of the Halo universe and its intriguing characters. Halo Legends has been created in the same breakthrough format as The Animatrix and Batman Gotham Knight with each individual episode imagined by a cutting-edge, renowned Japanese anime director/animator, including Shinji Aramaki, Mamoru Oshii, Hideki Futamura, Tomoki Kyoda and Yasushi Muraki. The stories are inspired and produced by the creative minds of 343 Industries, including Halo franchise development director Frank O’Connor and managing editor Kevin Grace.
The individual episodes fall within Halo’s 26th Century mythology as the battle between humanity and aliens rages on in an attempt to protect Earth and mankind’s expansive number of space colonies. The dramatic, action-packed stories feature characters and locales familiar to Halo fans, and episodes range in length between 10 and 17 minutes – resulting in nearly two hours of animated adventures.
The episodes are animated by some of the world’s most respected studios and directors in anime today.
