"It’s fun to do takeovers and see how a whole bunch of like-minded people put together a show – but now and again it’s also fun to throw together a whole bunch of artists we’re relly just want to bring to you guys and see how it pans out.

This week, we’ve done just that. Though if you look a little deeper, they all totally sit alongside each other. We’re pretty adament that anything could happen in those three hours though."

The event is now broadcast only unless you find your self on a guest list so here is the url for that:

STAR WARS UK announce BT Tower Lightsaber... What!?

According to Star Wars UK's official Facebook page, THIS is happening Thursday evening: Check the drop

"LONDON FEELS THE FORCE AS STAR WARS®

BLU-RAY LIGHTS UP THE CAPITAL TO CREATE THE WORLD’S LARGEST LIGHTSABER

LONDON, UK. (September 12, 2011) – As the UK becomes the first country in the world to releaseSTAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA on Blu-ray, London will feel the Force like never before as droids, Stormtroopers, Jedi and the Sith invade the city in a week-long Star Wars spectacular culminating in the galactic transformation of the BT Tower into the World’s Largest Lightsaber™.

The week commenced with a rude awakening from the Dark Side, as Darth Vader and a sinister fleet of Stormtroopers took to the streets in an Imperial March that will sent shivers down the spines of Londoners. The march began at St. James’ Park where they joined Changing of the Guards activities, before proceeding to HMV on Oxford Street to meet shoppers as they queued to get their hands on the highly anticipated Blu-ray release.

Star Wars legend Anthony Daniels (C-3PO in all six episodes) will provide a lighter touch on Tuesday 13 September as he meets fans at the grand opening of the HMV at the new Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford, signing copies of STAR WARS: THE COMPLETE SAGA on Blu-ray. The loveable droid was central to all six smash hit movies and Daniels’ portrayal makes him a favourite with manyStar Wars fans.

On Thursday 15 September, from inside the exclusive star-studded launch party at the top of the BT Tower, Daniels will press a button lighting up the London skyline for one night only as it morphs into a Jedi Knight’s elegant weapon of choice, projecting a giant ‘blue ray’ of light from the top of the tower.

In the words of Darth Vader himself, “This will be a day long remembered” by Star Wars fans in the UK and across the world. "

May the force be with you…

Brett Ewins: In-gallery appearance and Art Exhibition of Brett Ewins: Judge Dredd, 2000 AD, Skreemer...

Following the success of the DC Comics Art Exhibition - a collaborative venture between Urban Species (t-shirts, prints, artwork, customizations) and curator Chu Maclean, we are proud to announce our next project:

"The Art of Brett Ewins Exhibition" - Featuring the man himself present in the flesh so prepare for signings, pictures, photographs, books



"In 1977 Brett co-created the indy comic Sometime Stories which led on to a long run of series for the UK's 2000AD, including Judge Dredd, Judge Anderson, Rogue Trooperand the hit series Bad Company.



In the US, Brett co-created Skreemer for DC's Vertigo line and futuristic PI, Johnny Nemo.

Abandoning the comics industry to concentrate on writing novels, Brett produced the indy collection The Dark Gate for Cyberosia. This year his imagery was featured in a major exhibition of new urban street grafitti by the IFC Collective in London."

A new retrospective, The Art of Brett Ewins was published this year by Sky Pirate Press.

And like we did with the DC Exhibition, expect some music, some drinks and some good conversation on our launch night.

Win two tikets to see re-release of Terrence Malick's classic "Days of Heaven" at BFI

Terrence Malick's 'Days of Heaven' re-release features as part of a Terrence Malick season at the BFI Southbank, which will be running through September and October.

'Days of Heaven'

Widely recognised as a pinnacle of the golden age of 70s Hollywood filmmaking, Terrence Malick's foray into American pastoral has now been digitally restored, the subtle pictorial alterations supervised by the writer-director himself.

In 1916, after trouble at work, Bill (Richard Gere) leaves Chicago for Texas, together with girlfriend Abby (Brooke Adams) and his sister Linda (Linda Manz). Passing as siblings in order to find work, the lovers keep up the pretence when it becomes clear the shy farmer they work for (Sam Shepard) - rumoured to be dying, with no one to inherit his fortune - has fallen for Abby. Famously encouraging cinematographers Nestor Almendros and Haskell Wexler to shoot during the crepuscular 'magic hour', Malick created a rapturous, visually sublime meditation on American history and myth that is at once lyrical, epic and resonant in its tantalising echoes of the Bible. The pervasive sense of profoundly beguiling mystery is further enhanced by Ennio Morricone's magnificent score and Linda's inarticulate yet strangely expressive, even wise narration. A masterpiece.

Days of Heaven runs until 30th September, and do win two tickets to go see it on any date, simply find us on facebook and message us the answer to this: What is Terrence Malick's latest release as director and stars Brad Pitt?

The DC Revamp is Here!

In June, Senior VP at DC said

"we are relaunching the entire DC Universe line of comic books with all new first issues. 52 of them to be exact.

In addition, the new #1s will introduce readers to a more modern, diverse DC Universe, with some character variations in appearance, origin and age. All stories will be grounded in each character's legend - but will relate to real world situations, interactions, tragedy and triumph.

This epic event will kick off on Wednesday, August 31st with the debut of a brand new JUSTICE LEAGUE #1, which pairs Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, together for the first time. "

Exciting times or what? Whether a cynical/cunning marketing plug or an ingenious comic book revolution, it's difficult to see anyone rival this strategy for excitement or technique.

With Justice League #1 already online and on stands, by September 21st, we will witness #1 roll-outs of Batman, Batgirl, Green Arrow, Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, Batwing, Superman, Justice League DARK, Hawkman, Flash, Captain Atom, Wonder Woman and so on from the DC Pantheon. 52 titles. Check the image below. We'll be keeping you up-to-date with the exact release schedule as well as get some reviews up.
