By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; October 29, 2010)      It's almost time for Halloween. Since Forest of Fear will not be released until June 2011, we will cover other news instead.      The filming for Wonders of Buoyancy wrapped up back on Monday. Editing will begin shortly, and the film will be released November 26th, 2010. While you wait, here is a screenshot from that very film.      Also, a director for Forest of Fear has been found.

However, there is no news on how well the first strip is being received. To all of the fans, please let us know what you think of the new comic strip in the comments.      Finally, voting for The Fir...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Crazyhouse Comics Studio; October 21, 2010)      Last year, Lego Studios announced that a new comic to tie into Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile would be released. Originally based around the popular henchman character Patrick, the comic evolved into a broader spectrum, so that all of the adventurers characters would be included. Here is the result: the first-ever edition of the comic strip Tales of the Adventurers . Enjoy! Tales of the Adventurers Written and Drawn by Andrew Bermudez      As the story in the strips continues, new characters will be introduced and new tension will be built up to lead into Johnny Thunder 3, which may possibly come out in 2014. More strips will be released bi-weekly.      Also, as a reminder, Halloween is fast approaching. If you haven't voted for the fan choice awards yet, be sure to do so now. When the voting is over, work will begin on the film that ...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; September 27, 2010)      Halloween is just a month away, and with that, comes another studio update. To start, two new films have been announced. The first will be a mini commercial for the fan choice awards. "We are very surprised how few people are voting for the awards. Therefore, we decided that a commercial to encourage people to vote is important," said Mark Matthew, head of the Lego Studios Board of Directors and Lego Studios CEO. Also, an educational science film will be made. The film, primarily an assignment for school, will use storytelling and humor to teach an undecided aspect of physical science. Both will be released by the end of the year.      In the meantime, the 8th draft of Forest of Fear was sent off to hopeful director Barry Hollows for final approval. This is his response: Dear Mark Matthew,      I congratulate you on gathering the necessary will power to g...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; August 27, 2010)      Fall is almost here, and that means more news from the studio! Today, deleted animation from Johnny Thunder and the Gift of the Nile was released which showcases clips that were cut out of the film. More extras will be released during the weekend, including a production gallery.      Also, after the studio said that they wanted Barry Hollows, director of Zombie: Genesis (check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQW0sGkgqCI ) , to direct Forest of Fear , the studio sent him a copy of the script to read over and leave feedback on. This is what he had to say:      To the Lego Studios Board of Directors,      I have just finished reading the script for Forest of Fear and I cannot tell enough how much I hate it. There are so many problems with this "story" that I would be here all day listing them all. However, let me be straight to...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; August 18, 2010)      After bringing the cast and crew for Forest of Fear home from Georgia, the studio has now released news that yet another rewrite for Forest of Fear has been completed. "The studio told me that, since there were so many references to unknown horror films, like Manos: The Hands of Fate and Bride of the Monster , no one would get the humor," said the scriptwriter. "They said that the jokes need to be more time-relevant. So I put in some references to Van Helsing and the popular Ghost Hunters: International  TV show, among other things. I just submitted what is now the fourth draft for the film. Let's hope the feedback is positive."      The studio is also looking for a new director to give the film a little chill. "We're hopeful that director Barry Hollows will sign on," said Mark Matthew, head of the Lego Studios Board of Directors and now CEO. "He just finished that proje...

By: Andrew Bermudez (Lego Studios; August 8, 2010)      Today is one of the most embarrassing days in the studio's history. The cast and crew for Forest of Fear was recalled to the studio with nothing done. "It's a move we had to make," said Mark Matthew. "It was costing us too much to have them over there doing nothing." The filming has been delayed until January 2011.      In the meantime, the museum exhibit tour will be put online around the time the last part for the film is put online. However, it will be a short photo slide show.
