June
29, 2005 - UltraViolet: On the Net
ComingSoon.net:
UltraViolet Used New Transfer Technology
"UltraViolet uses the Sony e-VTR's enhanced file transfer
capabilities, working with Orbital Data's TotalTransport technology, to
speed the backhaul of dailies, allowing data files to be reviewed
electronically instead of the more time-consuming process of
distributing hard media via physical courier. The results are
significant savings in production time and budget."

Jun. 15 - Bale is Batman
Batman Begins: Equilibrium Fan Reviews
Equilibrium fans speak
out on Christian Bale's new action film Batman Begins. I for one
think that it is the first time that Batman was really done right and
no one has perfected his persona as Bale. If anyone wonders why
many of us fell in love with Equilibrium just take a look a Bale's
performance in Batman Beyond to get an idea.

Hall of Mirrors: What would you like
to see in the MOD?
Rico Wrote: As many of you
know we're looming closer and closer to release and as a result the
possibility of including major changes and additions is diminished.
However, that doesn't have to stop anyone from
suggesting what they'd like to see in the mod! I have always thought
about supporting the mod by releasing new versions after we complete
the first version. The point of this thread is to gather suggestions
about stuff you'd like to see added, I might be able to include some of
this stuff before we release and if not, I might be able to include it
in any additional releases we might have.
So have at it! Don't worry about how "realistic" the suggestions are,
go crazy. We'll worry about whether it's possible or not

Working on
Sixth Production Video
I am currently working on the sixth
production video but due to the drawbacks of a new laptop it's not
going as easily as I had planned. I hope to have the bugs worked
out ASAP. In the mean time if you have not already, take a look

Immune - Chapter 10 by Judas Austin
Kevin huddled in the doorway, wrapping
his arms around his shoulders and stamping his feet in an attempt to
get some warmth into them.
Nice one, Kev. Next time, would it
really hurt you to check the weather forecast before making your big,
dramatic exit?

The
Martial Solution by ClericWolf
Kurt Wimmer’s vision of the future is a starkly dark
portrayal of what could happen if society survives a third world war, a
war that tears down the core roots of our own society and buries it
firmly in the rubble. It would be a horrific undertaking for any kind
of government to re-establish itself in the post-war trauma that
followed but for some reason Father’s regime survived and prospered,
thanks mostly to the drug Prozium and the enforcement of the Grammaton
Clerics, the lethal right-hand of Father’s new justice.

Actor
William Fichtner on Technology, Movies, & Career
His latest movie is UltraViolet. Geeks will recognize its
director, Kurt Wimmer, as the director of 'Equilibrium' in 2002. "Kurt is a really smart gentleman. I had
a really good experience shooting UltraViolet 1 1/2 years ago in Hong
Kong and Beijing." Milla Jovovich plays "Violet", a woman with a
blood-eating disorder, set in a futuristic world. "Milla is
unbelievable", Fichtner says. "She has an inner torque, she is a super
hero. I don't think anyone could have played her part better than she
did, she was unbelievable, just like in Joan of Arc. She has such a
commitment. I play Garth, a super-techie guy who is taken with Milla's
character, but she is one notch above the ladder for him. I play a good
guy this time, and I think that no matter what other roles I ever might
portray for Kurt Wimmer, he will always ask me to play "good,
underground guys". Fichtner played the leader of an underground
resistance movement in Equilibrium. "This film had a huge internet
underground following, of mainly teenagers. Many times I am stopped on
the street by 19-year olds shouting "hey dude!", remembering me from
Equilibrium, in specific".

Influences in Equilibrium by Shawn
Novinger
Now, most anyone who has seen
Equilibrium can say, at some point or another during the film, “Hey!
That’s familiar!” Yes, it most likely is. Kurt Wimmer (the
director) made excellent use of a wide array of influences to make this
amazing movie work so well. Almost all forms of art – be it film,
written, painting, or otherwise – have been seamlessly woven into the
story, to make it seem very real. If you have something to
compare an idea to, it becomes all the more possible in your mind.

Equilibrium Fansite Newsletter - May 2005
May's newsletter
has been sent out...
(UPDATE May 18 -
No, it was not sent since ProBoards has some kind of glitch. I no
longer will be sending the Newsletter through this system and plan to
install a site email list in the next few days.)
Dear Equilibrium Fans,
Unfortunately last month's newsletter was only sent out to a few due to
a Proboards glitch since they were upgrading the boards. If you are
interested in taking a look at it please see the link at the bottom of
this page. You will also find a few new changes on the boards as well.
In the mean time more features have been added to the site including a
new weekly Fan Article section that was inspired by the exceptional
report from Aikido Al of Kurt Wimmer at the University Filmmakers
Alliance Conference in Austin Texas on April 9th. I will be looking for
more submissions to add to the site. ClericWolf has finished his
Equilibrium Fan Fiction, Ashes, and more downloads have been added.
For those of you waiting for the Hall of Mirrors MOD, the crew has
released their trailer on-line. Enjoy!! - JenGe

Ideas on Libria's Timeline by Judas
Austin
So. What about Libria's earlier years? Although
I'm virtually terrified of plugging my work, I have had a few people
now comment – either via email or the boards – that Immune is an interesting window
into those years...and it also serves as an easier analogy than trying
to blind everyone, including me, with maths. Chronologically
speaking, I guess they're right, in the same way that the 1970s is an
interesting window into England's/America's/Insert Country Here's
earlier years. But the bottom line is, by the time the first
events in Immune take place, Libria, Prozium and the Tetra Grammaton
have already been well-established for at least two or three hundred
years, and most of my EQ writings on and off the site are based in the
late 2400s/early 2500s. Why? Read on...

Call for Site Assistance: Fan Articles
I have been thinking about incorporating a weekly or
bi-monthly fan article section to the site. The inspiration came from
the awesome article Aikido Al wrote for the UFA Conference
and the interesting write ups at Wikipedia: Equilibrium. Also most of the
submissions so far have been very graphics heavy (except for the
wonderful fan fictions) and I think something like this would
counterbalance the site and give it a better well rounded feel as well
as interest. The fan participation was so astounding last year when we
did the Commentaries I
felt some of you might enjoy contributing some of your own thoughts
about the film, its symbolism, ect.
