Short of the DayOR, The Gravitational Price of Greed.
What would you do if you discovered a black hole? I’m not talking about the celestial variety, those massive swirling vortices of baryonic matter that bend time and space and eat planets like Milk Duds, I mean like a portable one, one that could fit on, say, a standard 8½ x 11” piece of printer paper? It still has all the properties of the larger version, but in a handy, compact size perfect for toting about your routine. Would you use it for good, to help others in need, or would you use it for your own, selfish, personal gain? Like most folks, myself included, you probably like to think it would be the former but know deep down it’s the latter, especially when you start considering all the possibilities. No doors are locked to he who owns a black hole, no...

From The Craft and The Birds to The Fugitive and She's All That, the many film reboots and remakes currently in the works...
Over the years that Den Of Geek has been going, we've regularly been charting the assortment of reboots and remakes that are making their way through the Hollywood system. This, then, is the current state of play. We've removed a bunch of projects that seem utterly dead - the once mooted remakes of Videodrome and Timecrimes, for instance - but we'll keep this list up to date as and when we hear of more.
Without further ado, here's what's coming up...
Akira
One of Hollywood's most on and off projects, the current state of the live action Akira remake is that it's back in the works. Marco J Ramirez, the showrunner for season 2 of Netflix's Daredevil show, has been hired to pen a screenplay. Warner Bros is still backing the film,...

Why Watch? This sharp short feels a lot like a miniature episode of Twilight Zone by way of Fight Club and Office Space. The boredom of office work is destroyed when one man finds a black hole on a sheet of paper that works. Now he has to figure out how far he’ll go in using it. It might be more than a distraction from the workday, but it does come in awfully handy at the vending machine. What Will It Cost? Just two minutes of your time. Does it get better any better than that? Only if we did your Tps reports for you while you watch. Check out The Black Hole for yourself: The Black Hole (2008) Written and Directed By: Phil and Olly Starring: Napoleon Ryan Trust us. You have time for more short films.

From attention-grabbing promos to thoughtful documentaries, a new crop of directors is creating innovative and daring pictures that are cheap to make, easy to share, and finding an audience as never before. Here, we speak to those responsible for some of the best
Are we in the middle of a short‑film revolution? Not long ago, if you wanted to catch short work by exciting new film-makers, you had to travel to a festival, hunt down a compilation on DVD, catch a charitable showing on TV or, if you were uncommonly lucky, before the main feature at the cinema. Now all you have to do, assuming you have internet access and a passing familiarity with video-hosting websites, is switch on your computer.
The curious thing about short films is that, regardless of audience and financial incentive, people have continued to make them with great enthusiasm. This is in part because...

The Black Hole is a two and a half minute short film about a "sleep deprived office worker who finds a Black Hole whilst photocopying late one night Suddenly the possibilities seem endless. Will greed get the better of him?" Check out the short film embedded after the jump.
