The Greg and Colin Strause-directed, independent 2010 critical sci-fi flop, Skyline, left a huge enough dent in box office earnings to warrant some wiggle room for a sequel. Enter Liam O’Donnell, having worked his way up from VFX work on several projects, as well as co-scripting and producing the first film and now sets his sights with a sequel as his directorial debut in Beyond Skyline – a film that by some accounts probably wasn’t expected to happen or even supposed to.

Topping it all off course is some tasty action shots featuring Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian, adding further excitment to the film’s push. It comes out in November in Indonesia with […]

I’m speaking of cinema local where services like Barco Escape and things like 4DX and Screen X are paving the way for moviegoers to engage the cinematic experience even beyond wearing a pair of 3D glasses, only here and now we turn to another new venture unveiled at CineAsia this week in Hong Kong in the form of company X-Spatial’s 4D Psychoacoustics. The new technology became the platform on Wednesday evening for director Liam O’Donnell whose latest contribution, Beyond Skyline, which unveiled a preview sampling with the new technology. The company outlined the details of that conference which includes its latest deal with Zhuijang Film, Faan Cultural and Beijing […]
