Mr. Pip | Final Film Poster – Paramount Media Release

Directed, written and produced by Academy Award®-nominated Andrew Adamson, Mr. Pip is based on Lloyd Jones’ seminal novel which won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. The film was shot on location in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.

Set against the backdrop of civil war in Bougainville, Mr. Pip stars Golden Globe-winner Hugh Laurie (House) as the enigmatic teacher Mr. Watts who reads to his pupils from Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations”.

Matilda, a 14-year-old student played by newcomer Xzannjah, is transported by her imagination and the world of Dickens, becoming transfixed by the characters and Mr Watts’ interpretation of the story. The film also stars Healsville Joel, Eka Darville and Kerry Fox.

A wonderful tale of the imaginative power of story that reveals that on an island at war, fiction can have dangerous consequences.

TownCraft International Out Now

For those who like their mobile gaming a little deeper and a little less polluted, TownCraft is out now.

TownCraft is a crafting and city-builder hybrid with no microtransactions whatsoever.

It was created in Sydney, Australia, by brothers Rohan Harris and Leigh Harris, and was the #2 paid iPad app in the country within weeks of its local launch.*

The Sydney Morning Herald calls it “addictive and fun”, while Australian Game Informer said it “could approach ‘next big thing’ status”, and it received a slew of positive reviews when it came out in Australia this July.**

“People seem to really like the stripped back and ‘pure’ nature of the game” says Leigh Harris, Lead Designer, “We created a game which would allow the player to sink into it without distraction, and the response has been great!”

“The reception here in Australia was huge,” adds Rohan Harris, Lead Programmer. “I can’t say I’d ever considered that I might be seeing our first videogame in the Top Ten Charts on the App Store. It still kind of blows me away!”

TownCraft is available now from the App Store for iPad 2 and up, and iPad Minis for USD$4.99 . An iPhone version is coming soon.

Eight Minutes of Tex Murphy Action in New Tesla Effect Trailer

Tex Murphy will finally be back in 2014 after leaving loyal fans   on a cliffhanger for almost 16 years, so come get acquainted in a world   filled with dangerous dames, morally ambiguous characters, and lots of   mysteries to be solved.

This first-look preview will showcase Tesla Effect’s   improved Tex Murphy experience with HD live-action — that’s right, for those   of you not old enough to have played adventure games in the 90s, Tex Murphy   embraces the lost art of green screen full-motion video as it interacts with   fully modeled 3D environments. But before you can say “interactive   movie,” the trailer will dish out samples of the logic   puzzles, interactive dialogue, branching storylines and alternate endings   that revive the classic Tex Murphy spirit for the upcoming 2014 PC release   from ATLUS and Big Finish Games.

Tesla Effect shines with an eclectic cast of actors,   including:

  • Todd Bridges (Willis from Diff’rent Strokes…ask        someone older if you don’t know what that is)
  • June “TV’s Greatest Mom” Lockhart…ask someone even        older if you don’t know who that is
  • Larry “Soup Nazi” Thomas (you all have seen Seinfeld,        right?)
  • Kevin “Tom Servo” Murphy
  • The original Tex himself, Chris Jones

The trailer is   available to post immediately:

Tesla Effect begins   with Tex Murphy — the down-on-his-luck gumshoe in the post-apocalyptic   future — regaining consciousness on the fire escape next to his office with   a gaping head wound and an injection mark on his arm. With the last   seven years of his life wiped from memory, the private eye has no choice but   to figure who was behind the mysterious attack and why.

Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy   Adventure will release on Steam beginning early 2014. The single-player   adventure game will feature full-motion video. The game is not yet rated by   the ESRB. For more information, please visit http://texmurphy.com/.
