In the »Final Fantasy« universe, Tifa Lockhart is for sure one of the best-known sidekicks. She's hard to miss as a resolute fighter at Cloud's side. Her first appearance was in 1997's »Final Fantasy VII«. That part of the main series is considered the franchise's worldwide breakthrough. Square Enix decided to create a remake, which was released on the PlayStation 4 in 2020 and later on the PlayStation 5 and PC. The developer managed the sequel »Final Fantasy VII Rebirth« in a similar way, so it came out in 2024 for the PlayStation 5 and has finally been made available for PC this January. Another part is planned to complete the trilogy.

Tifa is a member of the resistance group AVALANCHE, which opposes the megacorporation Shinra. The latter ruthlessly exploits the planet in order to extract energy from it. The story really kicks into gear for the player when the rebel convinces her childhood friend and mercenary Cloud Strife to be hired by AVALANCHE. Tifa and Cloud become an unbeatable team, and in the game she turns out to be the protagonist's loyal companion. In »Final Fantasy VII Remake«, during a particular quest, she asks him what to wear for a night out. As a player, you have the choice between "Something mature", "Something sporty" and "Something exotic", which affects Tifa's appearance in a later mission.

With this in mind, the S.P.A.C.E Crew has chosen the Tifa Lockhart Static Arts Statue - Exotic Dress Version as the 💥 Product of the Month 💥 February 2025. It reflects the result of the third option in the game. Square Enix has created an extremely detailed version of the exotic dress here. Tifa's reserved pose underscores the elegance of the traditionally styled outfit. With its kimono-inspired dress, the embellished obi and the beautifully decorated hair, this version stands out significantly from the other two dresses that the manufacturer has also produced within the "Static Arts" line. With its graceful appearance, the Tifa Lockhart Static Arts Statue - Exotic Dress Version is especially, but not exclusively, appealing to »Final Fantasy« fans.

Like every year, we were ON THE ROAD to Nuremberg to visit the Toy Fair, the largest international trade fair of the toy industry, for you. In our VLOG we take you through the exhibition halls.

We were particularly pleased about our visit to the Cosmic Group stand. The Red Death Statue of Infinite from »Phantom of the Opera« (not yet painted) celebrated its world premiere here. Ash from »Army of Darkness« in 1/4 scale and 1/6 Jean-Claude van Damme from »Bloodsport« were presented for the first time. One of our favorite collectibles was Frankenstein's Monster, based on Boris Karloff's appearance in the 1931 Universal film. This is going to be a real blast from Kaustic Plastik! Speaking of Kaustic Plastik: Fabio Varesi provided us with exciting news about upcoming attractions and also gave us some insider information that we are unfortunately not allowed to share yet. All we can say is this: the release calendar for 2025 looks very promising. The next stop is San Diego Comic Con, where we can probably expect to see the prototypes for the recently announced licenses and the 1/6 Maestro line. In our video you will also find impressions from the booths of PURE ARTS, Beast Kingdom, Boss Fight Studio, SalesOne and more.

The new Marvel series »Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man« celebrates its debut today with the first two episodes on Disney+.

Featuring a colorful, comicesque animation style, the show follows 15-year-old Peter Parker as he tries to find the balance between his exciting life as Spider-Man and the challenges of everyday life as a teenager. In the alternate timeline we explore in the series, Norman Osborn becomes Peter's mentor instead of Tony Stark. Spidey also meets a few other characters we know well. We can look forward to appearances by Kingpin, Doctor Strange, Daredevil and Doc Ock.

In »Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man« we experience exciting battles against well-known villains, while Peter simultaneously struggles with friendships, school and the typical problems of growing up. The series not only offers action-packed scenes, but also humorous moments and emotional stories that appeal to both young and adult fans.

Here's the trailer:

Today, one of the most influential horror thrillers is celebrating its 70th birthday, »Diabolique« (original French title: »Les Diaboliques«) by Henri-Georges Clouzot.

The headmaster of a boarding school, Michel Delassalle (Paul Meurisse), is an asshole par excellence. He is cruel, violent and an alcoholic. He mistreats his gentle wife Christina (Véra Clouzot) and also bullies his lover Nicole (Simone Signoret). The two women are fed up with this tyrant and decide to get rid of him and make the whole thing look like an accident ...

The film asks its viewers in the end credits not to give away anything about the end of the story. Even though the film is turning 70 today, we want to comply with the request so as not to spoil your fun in case you haven't seen »Diabolique« yet.

The film is based on the novel »She Who Was No More« by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. Véra Clouzot loved the book and recommended it to her husband. He read it overnight and bought the film rights the next morning. It is said that he beat Alfred Hitchcock, who was also interested in the rights to the film, by just a few hours. Hitchcock then bought the next novel by the two authors and made »Vertigo«.

»Diabolique« is a groundbreaking thriller to which cinema owes a lot. It was one of the first films with a twist ending. It influenced Hitchcock's »Psycho«, which not only borrowed the spoiler warning in the marketing from »Diabolique«. Films such as »Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte«, »Games« and the Hammer Films thriller »Taste of Fear« also clearly reflect the influence of Clouzot's film. It is one of those masterpieces that you simply have to see.

The film is available on DVD at a reasonable price as well as on the Amazon Prime add-on channel Good!Movies. You can also watch »Diabolique« for free on Plex, but in the OV with English subtitles and advertising:

Two months before the announced release, Ubisoft finally dropped a new trailer for »Assassin’s Creed Shadows« last Thursday. More importantly, selected YouTubers were allowed to showcase their gameplay tests. After the recent hit-but-kind-of-miss entries in the AC series and the many controversies surrounding Ubisoft’s decisions as a company, it’s reassuring to see that the game actually exists and hasn’t fallen into development limbo, which increasingly plagues the gaming industry’s leading studios.

We'll try to analyze the game based solely on the footage we’ve been given, without having played it ourselves:

Unlike a katana, this game is definitely a double-edged sword. In some aspects, it feels like a major leap forward for the series, while in others, it seems like quite the step back.

The game world looks stunning. Feudal Japan is one of the most fascinating settings and was unsurprisingly at the top of most AC fans’ wish lists for potential environments. Particularly exciting are the various seasons, which bring tangible changes to the vibrant world. The gameplay also looks promising: fluid combat, intriguing stealth missions, and above all, the duality offered by the two vastly different main characters, Naoe and Yasuke, keeps things engaging and dynamic. Yasuke is incredibly brutal — effortlessly impaling his enemies, and for the first time in the series, heads literally roll. Meanwhile, Naoe moves gracefully across rooftops and is quick and nimble in combat. We also find the new pathfinding mode intriguing, replacing the endless waypoint markers. How much it makes you feel like you’re missing something important, though, can only truly be judged when playing it yourself.

The decision to allow players to recruit faceless, nameless fighters in a game with two main characters who we perceive as a complete spy-duo, feels odd, though it’s not a deal-breaking feature. The real issue lies with the cutscenes. »AC Shadows« puts far more emphasis on story than its two predecessors (»Valhalla« and »Mirage«) and aspires to deliver cinematic moments, but it falls flat. The character models feel stiff and robotic, and the dialogue (at least in the English dub) is emotionless and almost amateurish for a modern AAA game. While we don’t expect much facial expression from Ubisoft, this seems like a regression to pre-»Odyssey« or even »Origins« days. It’s also evident that more effort was put into Yasuke’s character model than Naoe’s. Yasuke has a highly expressive face, while Naoe, in the previews, resembles a puppet. Her animations don’t meet the standard expected from a game in this price category nowadays. Of course, different aspects matter more to different people, and solid gameplay is always the core of any game. However, when a seemingly well-crafted and lengthy story (which is a positive in itself) is presented so poorly, it risks diminishing the desire to see it through to the end. We sincerely hope that this first impression is misleading and that the final game delivers an immersive, gripping experience.

Are you planning to play »Assassin’s Creed Shadows«? And what’s your favorite installment in the series?

After several postponements due to the forest fires in California, this year's Oscar nominations were announced on January 23, 2025. The following films are competing for the award for Best Picture of the past year: ANORA, THE BRUTALIST, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, CONCLAVE, DUNE: PART TWO, EMILIA PÉREZ, I'M STILL HERE, NICKEL BOYS, THE SUBSTANCE and WICKED. You can find all nominations on the Academy's official website:
https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/2025

Of course, we are happy for all films and artists that have been nominated. Nevertheless, we were surprised by some of them and also missed some artists. We don't want to comment on all the nominations here and just make a few small notes, especially of course about all the candidates for whom we are keeping our fingers crossed.

We were a little surprised that EMILIA PÉREZ was nominated 13 times, in almost every possible category. This is all the more unexpected because it feels like hardly anyone really likes the film, at least when we look at the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter.

THE BRUTALIST and WICKED have each been nominated 10 times and will surely win a few awards. A COMPLETE UNKNOWN enters the race with 8 nominations. James Mangold being on the list for Best Directing for a very straightforward musician biopic surprised us a little. In 2023, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTER FRONT by German director Edward Berger received 9 nominations and won 4 Oscars. His new film CONCLAVE is nominated for 8 Golden Boys. Good news!

Other German contributions in this year's Oscar ceremony are THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG in the Best International Film category and SEPTEMBER 5, which was shot in Munich and nominated for Best Original Screenplay by Moritz Binder, Tim Fehlbaum and Alex David.

We were particularly pleased about THE SUBSTANCE being nominated in 5 categories. These included Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Original Screenplay for Coralie Fargeat, Best Actress for Demi Moore as well as Best Makeup & Hairstyling. It would also have deserved a nomination for Best Cinematography and Best Editing. It is really aggravating that Margaret Qualley did not receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Instead, Isabella Rossellini was nominated for CONCLAVE - for a few minutes in the film and very little lines. We found that quite startling.

We were also pleased about the 4 nominations for NOSFERATU in the categories Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design and Best Makeup & Hairstyling.

The 6 nominations for ANORA and 5 for DUNE: PART TWO are also impressive.

It is also pleasing that two animated films are among the nominees outside of the category of Best Animated Film. THE WILD ROBOT is nominated for Best Original Score and Best Sound and the film FLOW received a nomination as a Latvian entry in the category of Best International Film.

CHALLENGERS on the other hand didn't receive a single nomination.

We will stay awake throughout the night of March 2nd to 3rd to see which films will win the race and keep our fingers crossed for our favorites. What do you think: who will win an Oscar and who would you like to see with a golden boy?

Nine years after the last Star Trek film, »Star Trek: Section 31« will be released today, not in cinemas but streaming on Paramount+. The 14th film of the franchise also does not continue the Kelvin timeline with Chris Pine as Capt. James T. Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Cmdr. Spock. »Section 31« is a sequel to the series »Star Trek: Discovery« and brings back the character of Empress Philippa Georgiou, played by Michelle Yeoh.

The eponymous Section 31 is a secret special unit for espionage and counter-espionage of Starfleet. Philippa Georgiou is hired by Section 31 to carry out a covert mission with the aim of averting a major threat to the Federation.

To be completely honest, the trailer for the series has not been able to completely convince us so far:
https://youtu.be/63k1Otp9qtM

From today on we can find out for ourselves whether the film is actually any good or is just another example of the often criticized streaming content. Have you seen the film yet? We are curious to hear your opinion.

Yesterday Warner Bros. released the second trailer for Mickey 17:
https://youtu.be/tA1s65o_kYM

Like the first trailer for the new film by Oscar winner Bong Joon-ho, this preview also makes us incredibly excited about the film, which we are really looking forward to. The sci-fi comedy with Robert Pattinson in the lead role will be released in cinemas worldwide in March/April.

Tomorrow will be the 30-year anniversary of »The Usual Suspects« cinematic premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

The film by director Bryan Singer (»X-Men«, »Bohemian Rhapsody«) and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie (»Top Gun: Maverick« and 4 »Mission Impossible« Movies) is a wonderful neo-noir with a great cast including Stephen Baldwin, Gabriel Byrne, Benicio del Toro, Kevin Pollak, Kevin Spacey, Chazz Palminteri and Pete Postlethwaite. It is a prime example of the cinematic device of the unreliable narrator.

The film begins with an ending. In the port of San Pedro there is a showdown with 27 dead, and former police officer Dean Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) also meets his end there at the hands of the mythical gangster boss Keyser Söze. One of the few survivors is the physically disabled petty criminal Verbal Kint (Kevin Spacey), who is then interrogated by the federal authorities and customs inspector David Kujan (Chazz Palminteri). The story told by Kint begins six weeks earlier in New York, where he is arrested after a hijacking as one of the usual suspects and locked in a cell with the criminals Dean Keaton, McManus, Fenster and Hockney ...

»The Usual Suspects« is one of those films with a brilliant twist ending. It is incredibly fun to watch the film again and, knowing the ending, discover where the film leads us on the wrong track, but also provides clues to the true identity of Keyser Söze.

Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and Christopher McQuarrie for Best Original Screenplay.

The nice thing about a rewatch after 30 years is also discovering actors that you hadn't even noticed when you first saw the film. For example, the young Giancarlo Esposito (»Breaking Bad«) can be seen as FBI agent Jack Baer.

As an appetizer for anyone who's now interested in the film, here's the trailer:
https://youtu.be/x3t0Nc6fg7w

»Wolf Man« is opening in cinemas today. We're taking this as an opportunity to take a quick look back at the hairy genre.

At the beginning of the 1930s, Universal Studios kicked off the golden age of horror with »Dracula« and »Frankenstein«. The success of the films led to the first major horror boom in Hollywood. Their stars, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, became icons of the genre. In 1936, the Laemmles (founders of Universal Pictures) lost control of their studio. The new owners had little interest in horror and took the genre off the agenda. But towards the end of the 1930s, the re-release of »Dracula« and »Frankenstein« as a double feature led to queues around the block and constantly sold-out screenings. Audiences had a huge appetite for horror, and so horror returned to the studios.

In 1941, the legendary Universal Monsters Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy and the Invisible Man got company in the form of »The Wolf Man«, starring Lon Chaney Jr. (actually Creighton Tull Chaney), the son of celebrated silent film star Lon Chaney. It was not the studio's first werewolf film. Universal had already produced »Werewolf of London« in 1935. But it was Curt Siodmak's screenplay for »The Wolf Man« that defined werewolf lore as we know it today. Lon Chaney Jr. followed in his father's footsteps and Jack P. Pierce created unforgettable make-up for the Universal horror pantheon. In 1943, Universal brought out the first cinematic crossover with »Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man« and in the years that followed added Dracula, the Hunchback and the Mad Scientist to the monster mix. The films were entertaining but a million miles away from the mastery of the 1930s films.

The 1950s were largely werewolf free. In 1961, Hammer Films produced their Wolf Man with »The Curse of the Werewolf« with Oliver Reed in the lead role. In the 1970s, Spanish actor Paul Naschy gave us his "El Hombre Lobo" in a whole series of wonderfully trashy films.

The 1980s were definitely the best time for werewolves with »The Howling« by Joe Dante; »An American Werewolf in London« by John Landis, which still shows one of the best werewolf transformations; the remarkable »Wolfen« by Michael Wadleigh; the Little Red Riding Hood variant »The Company of Wolves« by Neil Jordan and last but not least we got to see Michael J. Fox as »Teen Wolf«. From the 2000s, »Dog Soldiers« by Neil Marshall and above all »Ginger Snaps« are worth mentioning.

After the turn of the millennium, Universal returned as well – first in 2004 with their first Dark Universe attempt, the forgettable »Van Helsing« and in 2010 with a »Wolf Man« remake with Benicio del Toro in the lead role.

When Marvel then celebrated success with their Cinematic Universe, Universal also wanted to jump on the monster mix bandwagon again. At first it was a case of "think big" and »The Mummy« was to be the first cornerstone of a new Dark Universe. Superstar Tom Cruise took on the lead role. The film turned out to be a bit of a dud and the Dark Universe dream seemed as good as over. The decision was made to cut back a little and let Blumhouse produce a modernized version of »The Invisible Man«, which finally gave us a film worth seeing in their Monsterverse. The film was directed by Leigh Whannell, who is also directing the new interpretation of »Wolf Man«. We are excited to see if he can repeat his feat. The first reviews so far do not offer a uniform picture. While some reviewers are very positive, there are also some negative voices. We have no choice but to go to the cinema ourselves to form our own opinion, but we were planning to do that anyway.

The wait for the second part of the »Final Fantasy VII« trilogy has come to an end for PC gamers today. Following the successful remake of the 1997 classic, the story continues with »Final Fantasy VII - Rebirth«. Console gamers with a PlayStation 5 already had the pleasure to play the sequel about a year ago. Here's the final trailer:
https://youtu.be/Q56cRDseTGQ

The story begins directly after the first part of the remake series, with the focus once again on the mercenary Cloud and the rebels of the resistance group Avalanche. After the unexpected events of the first part, they manage to escape from the metropolis of Midgar and take up the pursuit of Sephiroth. In order to thwart his terrible plan, the rebel force must endure numerous adventures. As well as familiar faces like Aerith and Tifa, you'll also meet new characters, who will interfere as you travel through the open world.

Of course, we haven't missed the hype surrounding »Final Fantasy VII - Rebirth«. Just in time for the PC release, you can pre-order two awesome statues from the manufacturer Prime 1 Studio. They couldn't have done a better job of showcasing Cloud and his opponent Sephiroth. Both are available separately or as a set with a lot of equipment in our shop. Be sure to check out:

"Wouldst thou like the taste of butter? A pretty dress? Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?"

While »Nosferatu«, Robert Eggers' fourth film, is currently showing in cinemas, tomorrow will be the 10-year anniversary of his debut with »The Witch« at the Sundance Film Festival, where he also won the Directing Award (Dramatic). "To a director who demonstrated a consistent and excellently rendered vision, creating a story that was hauntingly detailed as it was masterfully executed" said the laudation.

»A New-England Folktale« is the subtitle of this film in which Eggers and his cameraman Jarin Blaschke paint a very authentic picture of the life of a settler family around the year 1630. A life full of deprivation that consists almost exclusively of hard work and prayer. A life that is shaped by faith and superstition, joyless self-denial, original sin and fear. Fear for the salvation of the soul and fear of eternal damnation, in a world in which devils and witches were perceived as a very real threat.

This dark fairy tale stands out from the horror landscape of the 2010s, which was largely characterized by sequels, the excessive use of jump scares and self-reflective horror films. »The Witch« is a film out of time and that is precisely why it has not lost its impact and will stand the test of time in the decades to come.

For lead actress Anya Taylor-Joy, »The Witch« marked her big breakthrough. To whet your appetite, here is the trailer:
https://youtu.be/iQXmlf3Sefg

"Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a watermark."

25 years ago today, »American Psycho« premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. The satire reflects materialism, narcissism, superficiality and the greed of the late 80s. Christian Bale as Wall Street banker Patrick Bateman made the first big statement of his career and delivered a performance that will definitely be remembered. Bateman fills his inner emptiness with his hobby – serial killing. It can be dangerous for colleagues if their business card looks better than Bateman's. Compared to him, Gordon Gekko (»Wall Street«) almost looks like a cuddly kitten.

To celebrate the anniversary with you, we have a very special offer for you: from today until the end of the month (January 31st), we are lowering the price of the 1/6 Patrick Bateman figure from Iconiq Studios to a charming 300 euros:
https://www.space-figuren.de/Movies/American-Psycho/1-6-Scale-Patrick-Bateman-American-Psycho::21782.html
That way, you'll still have money left over to have a business card printed with a watermark, but it's better not to show it to Patrick ...

We also still have in stock the Patrick Bateman statue from Premium Collectibles Studio in the Bloody Version:
https://www.space-figuren.de/Movies/American-Psycho/1-4-Scale-Patrick-Bateman-Statue-Bloody-Version-American-Psycho::25209.html

Over the last few days, a handful of new trailers have been released that have piqued our interest. Here we'd like to give you an overview:


THE MONKEY
This film is based on the short story of the same name by Stephen King, in which two brothers have to stop a bloodthirsty toy monkey. The trailer alone is really fun and fuels our hopes for a horror highlight of the year. And we don't have to wait too long, because »The Monkey« is due to be released in cinemas in February.
https://youtu.be/husMGbXEIho


THE ALTO KNIGHTS
Robert De Niro and mafia films - they just go together! In »Alto Knights« he appears in a double role and embodies two rival mafia bosses, Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, who fight for power over the streets of New York. Watch the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/1aayuOp0AnE


THE WOMAN IN THE YARD
With »The Woman in the Yard« we can expect a horror film from Blumhouse in which a mysterious woman appears to a mother and her two children on their remote property and gives them a warning. But it doesn't stop there ...
https://youtu.be/1s-Ko4J3mWs


DEATH OF A UNICORN
The trailer for this film is a bit older, but we still want to include it here. »Death Of A Unicorn« promises to be an absolutely wild horror comedy. Once again, A24 prove that they have a knack for original and crazy films. We are definitely excited after the trailer - see for yourselves:
https://youtu.be/9cMIarrxLGs


PARADISE
Very soon, from January 28th, you can watch »Paradise« on Disney+. The series centers on a Secret Service agent who becomes the focus of a murder investigation after the former president he was supposed to protect is found dead. Get a first impression here:
https://youtu.be/QsjSIwQr7yw


A THOUSAND BLOWS
Last but not least is the series »A Thousand Blows«, in which two friends from Jamaica have to make a living in Victorian London. They get caught up in the world of illegal boxing matches and make more than just friends there ...

Starting today, you'll have the opportunity to stand on the battlefields of the late Eastern Han dynasty and wield your sword for justice. »Dynasty Warriors: Origins« by KOEI TECMO is out now for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. This game series has its origins in the 90s and has enjoyed huge popularity ever since. What makes it so special in the first place are the epic battles, in which you have a big influence as a single warrior to reach your goals. The trailer gives some first impressions:
https://youtu.be/wEJj6ahC38s

As a nameless hero who has lost his memory, you travel through the devastated country and are confronted with the ills of China. People are starving, death lurks everywhere, and the rulers are more corrupt than ever. As the protagonist, together with allies, you rise up against those tyrants to restore peace.

In this »Warriors« game, KOEI TECMO scores first and foremost with an improved combat system and more tactical options on the battlefield. While in past titles you were able to make your way to the outposts and officers fairly quickly, in »Dynasty Warriors: Origins« you'll have to consider where you're most needed. That's the only way you can prevent major losses to your own ranks.

To us, that sounds like a lot of fun and an exciting load of Chinese history. So what do you think? Are you ready for the new »Dynasty Warriors« game?

»Severance« is one of the best TV series of recent years. The first season from 2022 will finally be continued on Apple TV+ starting today. If you haven't watched it yet, you should definitely catch up. The dystopian series is both a thriller and satire and was staged in a strikingly well-thought-out, slightly retro-futuristic look by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle.

In the world of the show, the company Lumon Industries can separate the working person from the private person by means of a brain operation called "Severance" and the implantation of a small chip. As soon as the private person, called "Outie" in the series, gets into the Lumon elevator, they lose all their private memories and become an "Innie" who does not know about their life outside of the company, just as the Outie has no access to the memories of his working Innie. At the center of the story is the former college professor Mark (Adam Scott), who is grieving his wife and has undergone the procedure to at least partially escape his grief. At the beginning of season 1, he is promoted to department head of Macrodata Refinement. The team is joined by new member Helly (Britt Lower), who soon is very dissatisfied with the working conditions at Lumon Industries and does everything she can to get her Outie to quit her job. The four-person team is completed by the melancholic Irving (John Turturro) and the bustling Dylan (Zach Cherry) ...

Since we don't want to give you any spoilers if the series is new to you, we won't reveal any more about the plot here. The last episode of the first season received an IMDb rating of 9.7, which is hard to beat! The incredibly exciting season finale culminated in multiple cliffhangers. Now, of course, we are extremely excited for the second season. How about you?

The day begins with sad news. David Lynch is dead. He died yesterday at the age of 78. With him, the world loses a radical and unique dreamer of cinema.

Lynch gained fame through his surrealist film »Eraserhead«. We owe him cinematic works of art such as »The Elephant Man«, »Blue Velvet«, »Lost Highway« and »Mulholland Drive«. With his show »Twin Peaks« he had a lasting influence on the TV landscape. Most recently he was seen in Steven Spielberg's autobiographical film »The Fabelmans«, where he played the legendary director John Ford.

Spielberg, who's the same age, remembers: “Here was one of my heroes — David Lynch playing one of my heroes. It was surreal and seemed like a scene out of one of David’s own movies. The world is going to miss such an original and unique voice. His films have already stood the test of time and they always will.”

A worthy start to the year for our S.P.A.C.E Postcard Collection, don't you think? We fell in love straight away! You'll get a copy of this wonderful card for free with every package we send to you in January 📦.

Yesterday, Marvel dropped the first official trailer for their new show »Daredevil: Born Again« – and it's not for the faint of heart! 

It’s arguably the most brutal trailer the Marvel-Disney era has delivered so far. While »Deadpool & Wolverine« broke new ground last year by opening the doors to “R-Rated” superheroes within the MCU, it was still a comedy whose absurdity softened the impact of the violence to some extent. On the series-level, Disney+ also expanded its horizons last year with »Echo«, paving the way for “TV-MA” streaming content.

Now, the return of Charlie Cox as Daredevil in »Daredevil: Born Again« is on the horizon – and there’s absolutely no room for slapstick here, only relentless action. Following smaller appearances in »Spider-Man: No Way Home« and »She-Hulk«, the blind lawyer who turns into a ninja vigilante by night is finally back to take on New York’s organized crime. The rest of the main cast from the Netflix series is also making a full return, most notably Vincent D’Onofrio as the captivatingly evil Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, who is now running a campaign for the office of Mayor of New York City.
This new series is said to incorporate elements of a political thriller and has even been compared to works like »Game of Thrones« and »Gangs of New York« – particularly due to its depiction of rival factions vying for dominance in the city, along with the intricate webs of intrigue spun by various schemers. Jon Bernthal’s portrayal of Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher (whose Netflix series has now moved to Disney+ as well), is set to play a key role, further emphasizing the uncompromising brutality of the show.

Warning: The trailer features blood, breaking bones, and hints at crushed skulls. If that doesn’t faze you, then let yourself be drawn back into the gritty, shadowy world of New York’s back alleys, which came to such an abrupt end nearly seven (!) years ago:
