One of the biggest creative challenges in adapting Anthem into a full novel is understanding that the story cannot rely solely on the main plot—it has to live and breathe through its world, its side characters, and the places that give that world meaning. That has led me back to the beginning. I have officially started rewriting the opening of the story. While the original opening still remains important, I realized there was an opportunity to strengthen the foundation of the novel by creating a new introduction—one that better captures both the scale of the world and the emotional stakes of the people living inside it. The goal is to begin with something familiar for longtime players of Anthem, while also making the story fully accessible for readers who may have never played the game at all. That balance matters. For readers who know the world of Bastion, there should be a sense of recognition—familiar faces, familiar dangers, familiar tension. But for new readers, the st...

Stepping into an already established world is one of the most unique creative challenges a writer can take on. Instead of building everything from nothing, you begin inside a living universe — one filled with history, characters, and stories that already matter to people. The challenge then becomes finding ways to add new ideas while respecting the legacy that already exists. That balance has become one of the most enjoyable parts of writing this story set within the world of Anthem. Writing Alongside Legacy Characters One of my main goals while writing is making sure that new characters feel naturally connected to the existing lore. When original characters interact with familiar figures from the game, the focus shifts toward capturing authentic voices — how they speak, how they react, and how their personalities shape each conversation. Writing dialogue for legacy characters means studying how they behaved in the game: their tone, humor, and emotional rhythm. The aim is to create mom...

There’s a strange feeling that comes when a game you’ve spent time in is preparing to disappear. Recently, I revisited trailers and lore videos for Anthem, a game known as much for its ambitious worldbuilding as for its complicated history. With the announcement that the servers would officially go offline on January 12, 2026, I realized something unexpected — soon, this world will no longer be playable. But stories don’t always end when servers shut down. Sometimes, that’s where new stories begin. Why Write Fan Fiction About Anthem? Like many players, I was drawn to Anthem because of its atmosphere: flying through storms, exploring Bastion, and uncovering fragments of lore hidden throughout the codex. Despite the challenges the game faced at launch, its universe always felt larger than what we experienced on screen. That realization sparked an idea. What if fan fiction could become a way to explore the stories that were never fully told? Fan fiction offers writers a unique creative sp...

We are back with our special edition fifth episode of 'Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse' and covering our opinions and then going into spoilers about the film. Definitely enjoy and please do share

The official trailer has been released yesterday for ' Alita: Battle Angel ' in theaters December 21, 2018. Adapted from the original Manga ' Gunnm .' This will be an ambitious project and visually the tone and color palette used for the film is vibrant and the animation for this style of filmmaking is very decent. Motion capture used for Alita is in the vein of the other James Cameron and John Landau produced film ' Avatar ' as it is set to take on an android that is very human is feature and aiming to put that motion capture character next to live action human actors and actresses. Enjoy this official trailer.

If there is one video game that has been on the radar to play and experience, 'Anthem' has been it. It is due to the creative idea behind the film from the first presentation that came out last year from E3 2017 and really had a unique take and looks to be a different style and separate from Bioware's previous installments of games (i.e. Mass Effect) And the concepts of the Javelins as exo suits that are used by Freelancers. The mythos of the world being left undone by it's creators adds another twist to the intrigue of the story and I am wanting to know how the mythos will be explained throughout the gameplay and the story. This 19 minute demo gives a lot of light into the actual game itself. Definitely do check it out and enjoy. 'Anthem' to be released in February 2019.

One of the most anticipated films of this year to want to see on the silver screen would have to be ' Bohemian Rhapsody ' this coming November. The teaser trailer and now the official trailer has been very creatively edited and showcases the events that I remember from my childhood from the music and the live performances I saw that were recorded as a young man. Aside from the music having a historical impact on culture and society. Definitely enjoy this official trailer and look for the film to hit theaters November 2, 2018

It brings me great pleasure to share this new trailer for ' Godzilla: King of the Monsters ' from San Diego Comic-Con. Definitely was a unique take on the trailer and introducing all of the classic monsters that Godzilla has fought against in the original films. This film is connected with the 'Kong: Skull Island' film and this will be the film that will merge and have these two giants fight one another in the later film installment. Definitely enjoy ladies and gentlemen.

There is a complete joy and fun to watch this trailer. 'Shazam!' brings a fun and comedic side of the DC Universe and I can say that I am super excited to see this trailer. This is something that is completely different and seriously will be a breath of fresh air for the tone of this motion picture to be light and fun. I am sure there will be some dark tones as well but this trailer set the tone that it will be a fun movie and to have a character that switches between a young kid and a grown man is something that is completely fun to see on screen in this medium. Please do enjoy this trailer.

This trailer looks fun and DC had released both this trailer and ' Shazam! ' at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 and it was a very good day for DC! I could wax on about how much of the story unfolds in the trailer but I think that actions do speak louder than words. I always have been excited to see this trailer and have been waiting for the release date and all but definitely am excited to see this in theaters. ' Aquaman ' in theaters this coming to theaters December 21, 2018!

" A war left unfinished...until now ." These are the words that said everything during the trailer for the return of ' Star Wars: Clone Wars ' and it the trailer comes as a shock and a surprise. There is still much to unpack. There will be 12 all-new episodes are going to be released for the streaming service to my understanding which will be online on the new Disney Streaming Service and will expand the universe. There are a lot of surprises and it looks to be as grand as the previous seasons. The whole gang is back of course, our main set of characters being Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Rex, Padme Amadala and the like. Definitely like the aging of the characters in this trailer. Anakin looks aged a bit and the animation has once again improved in the texture and the lighting. Ahsoka looks older as well and it is good to see her in this trailer and seeing how the story from the Ahsoka novel and this new season will link up together. Also will be...

I would like to start off stating that the opinions written in this post are my own and I am simply offering up a discussion from my perspective and not stating that I know any inside information about the upcoming installment of Episode VIII. I simply want to make sure that I make the effort to share my thoughts on a topic that I have been passionate about sharing in regards to the telling of the plot and making a story come full circle. Here with a topic that I wanted to share and talk about with you. I wanted to say that share with you my personal thoughts on the coming installment of the new Star Wars Trilogy with the next installment of Episode VIII. Though it has been stated and there are multiple different theories about the parentage and identities of whom our lead cast members of Finn and Rey. Still have to wait until the next installments of the film to potentially get the revelation of whom do our protagonists come from. But this take will be very simplistic as that is how...

It is a sole desire of mine to work on my dream project in the manner I feel would best serve it as possible. I have been working hard on the foundation which is the story, making sure that I am writing as many drafts as possible to get a more solid and cohesive structure and powerful character arcs that transcend my characters from the beginning, middle and end. The goal is to make a narrative that has inspired me to want to share with people and make something that is a testament to my abilities as a storyteller and challenge myself if I am able to tell a fluid and comprehensible story with flushed out characters and a powerful beginning to end that captures the imagination of all who the film. I am working on having the new draft completed and have it broken down to have it reconstructed and make notes of what will make the plot much stronger and faster and not have any lagging points where the plot drags on. The biggest challenge often I have faced is having a very strong opening i...

I would have never thought in my lifetime that we would get new Star Wars film. This morning I was reminded about the love of Star Wars again for the new trailer for Star Wars: Rogue One - A Star Wars Story and it looks excellent and they should have named it Hope trailer because it really does sell on the idea of the Rebel Alliance finding hope in desperation. With the lines of "Make ten men feel like a hundred," "Save the rebellion, save the dream," "Hope. Rebellions are built on hope." "Take hold of this moment, the Force is strong." I love everything about this trailer and it seriously does sell the idea of the film. And this film is on my must see list ever since the concept of it was displayed at Star Wars Celebration last spring in 2015. Please Please Please enjoy this moment. Share it with family and friends. Have a good day with this one. It made me realized why I went to film school in the first place. In theaters December 16, 2016. ...
