Robocop 2013 viral trailer

What’s that? Robocop remake I hear you say? Why yes, Sony Pictures is continuing the trend for Sci-Fi remakes with a Robocop reboot scheduled for release in 2013 and directed by José Padilha. Gary Oldman, Samuel L Jackson and Hugh Laurie are rumoured to be on board, and will star Joel Kinnaman as Alex Murphy.

In order to give their advertising campaign momentum, Sony have created this viral advert which poses as showcase for Omnicorp, the corrupt corporation which runs the police force of the future.

At a time when the Mayor of London is promoting the idea of a privatised Metropolitan police force, you’d be forgiven for confusing this with a conservative party political broadcast.

Sony have also created an Omnicorp website which you can view here.

Nike Fuel Fest Recap

Sunday night saw Nike launching it’s first ever “Fuel Fest” and not being people who like to miss a huge free party we thought we’d check it out. Before the night began we were given a Nike Fuel Band, which measures your activity in terms of steps take and calories burned, and then assigns a value known as Nike Fuel.

The event took place at the iconic Battersea power-station in South London. Tinie Tempah, Zane Lowe and Magnetic Man were there to provide the entertainment… as they staged a dance off between the girls and boys. All the fuelbands were wirelessly connected to a computer which then calculated how many points each side had accumulated.

In the end the girls won dammit!

But despite the male race being humiliatingly defeated it was still a night to remember, the visuals alone were mind boggling…. check out our lovely gallery below:

This Thursday the one and only 50 Cent will be personally signing his new range of SMS Sleek headphones. As you can see from the picture below these are pretty damn sexy, and come in black or white.

Now you may well be thinking this is just another brand partnership, but if you are think again Sonny. Apparently 50 Cent has been intimately involved with the design of these babies, from the durability to the sound quality, which features a new “Klear” wireless technology. Watch the interview the interview below to see what he has to say about them.

The answer is simple, buy a pair either online from the O2 website here, or from any O2 store and bring them with you along with proof of purchase. (Please note, online customers must allow two days delivery) And don’t forget you can only meet him if you’ve bought them from O2.

Wireless festival: Vodafone VIP Barclaycard festival App

So Wireless is finally here, and those of you with tickets are likely to be asking yourself a lot of questions. Where are the stages? Which act is on when? Where can I buy a beverage? What is the meaning of life? What is the evolutionary purpose of having earlobes?

Well thankfully the folks down at Vodafone have created a free App to help you answer at least some of these questions and to navigate your way through the weekend. The official app gives you the full line-up, personalised schedules, maps and social networking tools

One of the useful features we noticed is the “My Schedule” feature which allows you to create a personalised schedule of performances. Very handy indeed.

This App is also part of Vodafone VIP, which gives the lucky buggers who are on Vodafone exclusive access to phone charging points, viewing platforms and backstage tours. Find out how to get involved here.
