James Cameron, as we all know, is the self-proclaimed king of the world but which world might that be, not so much the Earth but more the king of actually “creating” worlds, there is no denying the infamously control-freakish director has a knack for immersing his audience a world from the bottom up, whether it be the postapocalyptic future of the Terminator films, an Aliens planet or, indeed a great big (doomed) Titanic sized ship.

October 28, 2009 / 46898
Mars Attacks! is a 1996 comic science fiction film directed by Tim Burton and based on the cult trading card series of the same name. The film uses elements of black comedy, surreal humour and political satire, and is also a parody of multiple science fiction B movies. Mars Attacks! stars an ensemble cast, which includes Jack Nicholson, Lukas Haas, Annette Bening, Jim Brown, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Glenn Close, Martin Short, Michael J. Fox, Jack Black, Natalie Portman and Danny DeVito.
Director Tim Burton and writer Jonathan Gems began development for Mars Attacks! in 1993, and Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to the trading card series on Burton’s behalf. When Gems turned in his first draft in 1994, Warner Bros. commissioned rewrites from Gems, Burton, Martin Amis, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski in an attempt to lower the budget to $60 million. The final production budget came to $80 million, while Warners spent another $20 million on the Mars Attacks!’ marketing campaign. Filming lasted from February to June 1996. Read more …
Have Yourself a Post-Apocalyptic Christmas!
October 28, 2009 / 4174
The world may be under attack and humanity on the verge of extinction, but people will still find a way to celebrate the holidays. We explain how you’ll celebrate Christmas at the end of the world.
“The Best Christmas Ever” by James Patrick Kelly: The last man on Earth tends to get depressed about his post-apocalyptic existence. So Aunty Em, one of the biops tasked with keeping him company, tries to cheer him up by having Christmas. But the only thing the last man wants for Christmas is a gun.
“The Star” by Arthur C. Clarke: An expedition to a far off star system discovers that the first Christmas was itself apocalyptic. The Star of Bethlehem shone so brightly on the night Jesus was born because it had gone supernova long before, killing all the inhabitants of an orbiting planet. That God would kill one civilization to light the night sky causes the journey’s Jesuit priest to experience a crisis of fate, but in The Twilight Zone adaptation, the civilization was aware of the significance of the supernova and accepted their fate without regret.
Peace on Earth: This 1939 cartoon from MGM was nominated for an Academy Award and, according to some reports, the Nobel Peace Prize (although the latter is likely just a widespread rumor). In a post-apocalyptic world populated entirely by animals, Christmas is still celebrated. When a pair of young squirrels ask who the “men” are in the carol lyric “good will to men,” their grandfather tells them about the pugnacious humans and the war that finally killed them off.
