The Sequel Seat is perfect for Movie Theaters to Prevent Coronavirus

 

A company by the name of Layer has designed a movie theater seat for a Coronavirus world, where health and safety is the number one priority. The invention is called the Sequel Seat, and it is a modular chair that can be adaptable to various row widths.

The Sequel Seat has integrated speakers inside the headrests for improved sound during the moviegoing experience. There is a side table on each seat for eating food and drinks during the movie experience.

How does the Sequel Seat prevent Coronavirus?

The Sequel Seat uses a technique that is a woven fabric of copper threads, created with 3D printing. The resulting fabric is antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. The design prevents dirt traps from forming. In addition to this fabric, there is a protective screen between each seat. A built-in UV light in the storage compartment of the seat armrest, which sterilizes the moviegoers possessions while they watch a movie. The UV light uses Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVG) to kill harmful microorganisms, such as viruses and bacteria. The UV lights also are on the backs of the seats to sterilize in between each row of Sequel Seats.

The Founder of Sequel Seat says this about it: "Sequel Seat is a tool that delivers the enhanced comfort and essential safety features that will help cinemas define themselves as a safe place where moviegoers can be transported to another world."

Ridley Scott Making Gladiator Sequel

One of my favorite movies of all time has to be Gladiator (2000) featuring Russell Crowe, and directed by Ridley Scott.

Gladiator the movie was about a Roman general that was stripped of his rank and position due to corrupt politics, and sought out revenge from the emperor responsible for the death of his wife and child.

Moviefone and other news sources reported on Nov. 1, 2018 that a Gladiator sequel movie is in development. This project is being financed by Paramount studios, with a possible funding partnership with Universal studios. According to the article, Ridley Scott has wanted to do a sequel to Gladiator for years.

The sequel would now follow Lucius, the son of Lucius Verus in the original movie.

Editor's note: I assume that Lucius grows up to become a gladiator, inspired by Maximus, played by Russell Crowe in the original Gladiator. Ridley Scott did an amazing job with the first movie, and I can only hope the sequel is as good as the first. It is unlikely that Russell Crowe would actually be in new footage for this sequel, but they may do some flashbacks using cut scenes from the original Gladiator movie from Lucius' memories as a young boy.

Jurassic World Sequel May be Called Jurassic Outpost, or not

On Friday, April 22, 2016 the Jurassic World Twitter account posted: "We have a new website coming soon!!! Layout and name inbound. We couldn't be more excited! #somethingiscoming"

With this post, the following picture was also posted.

Jurassic World sequel, Jurassic Outpost

If you examine the picture closely, the second word is hidden, but you can vaguely make out the "O" and a "u" and a "t" - the rest is obscured very well. The most logical word that would go here is "Outpost". This word also seems to fit with the fact that Jurassic Park and Jurassic World take place on an island called Isla Nublar. Being that this island is somewhat remote, it makes logical sense to call it an outpost.

If you go to the Jurassic World Twitter account now, it appears that this tweet has since been removed. The last tweet showing was from April 18, and it announces that JA Bayona is going to direct Jurassic World 2, with a theater release date of June 22, 2018.

Very recently, at the MTV Movie Awards, Chris Pratt won for "Best Action Performance" in Jurassic World.

Jurassic Outpost might not be the actual Movie Title

Back to the topic at hand. Jurassic World 2 may not have a Jurassic Outpost in the actual movie title. This could just be the new name for the compound in the movie. And they have built this outpost in an effort to take back the island, and take control from the dinosaurs.

Being the curious person that I am, I went to www.jurassicoutpost.com just to see what comes up. It is a picture of a T-Rex and below it reads: "THE OUTPOST IS COMING" and below that it says, "ARTWORK BY NATHAN DOUTHITT"

I do not believe this website is related to the Jurassic Park movies. Since they already have a website (JurassicWorld.com), they would most likely redirect people that try to go to the domain jurassicoutpost.com if they had bought that domain name.

Recurring Theme in the Jurassic World

This seems to be a common theme in all of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies. The humans try to make money off of dangerous dinosaurs. Then dangerous dinosaurs break out of their compound, and start to eat people. Then, the movie ends with the hero barely escaping off of the island, and the dinosaurs have won...for now. When will the humans learn not to play God with dino DNA?

This news was originally reported on Cinema Blend.

Jurassic World 2 Plot Theory, Dinos on the Mainland

According to the article, "Jurassic World 2 moves off the Island, filming in the UK instead of Hawaii,"  article writer Chris Picard speculates that the filming setting is different, therefore the premise of the movie will be that the dinosaurs are now on the mainland. An early Jurassic Park 4 script was rumored to be doing this, however the article thinks that people are wanting to "weaponize" dinosaurs for combat (such as war).

In this scenario, then perhaps it would make sense that an outpost is needed. Outposts are generally a fortified structure or building on the edge of the wilderness.

The article discusses that the filming is taking place in the UK for Jurassic World 2, as opposed to in Hawaii -- which makes a great location to film islands, such as Isla Nublar (the typical setting of Jurassic Park movies).

That article was posted on Scified.com.

Jurassic Park already had a Dinosaur Research Outpost toy in production

On the JurassicPark.Wikia.com, they have a toy called the "Dinosaur Research Outpost" but to the untrained eye, it pretty much looks like a man up in a tree. Not much research going on there.

Ridley Scott's Prometheus Has A Storyline Flaw

Scientists making discovery in movie, Prometheus (2012)

Prometheus, set to release in U.S. theaters on June 8, 2012, is a movie in which scientists go on an exploration mission to investigate the origin of the universe and alien life forms.

Sounds a lot like the Star Trek franchise, right?

Well, yes, but they are set in two very different universes.

Prometheus (2012) movie poster

Aliens was made by Ridley Scott, the creator of the Alien franchise, and Prometheus (2012) is a prequel to Alien (1979).

A Problem with Prometheus Storyline
There is one major problem with the Prometheus storyline. But first I must point out that in the Q&A section for Prometheus on IMDB.com, one section is titled: "How is this related to Ridley Scott's 'Alien' and the rest of the series?"

In that Q&A section, it points out that James Cameron and Ridley Scott both separately did not support the making of the Aliens vs. Predators crossover movies. That being said, the conflict is between Prometheus and the first AVP movie in 2004.

In AVP, an archeaological team finds an Aztec temple under the Antarctic circle. They soon realize, after entering the temple, that Predators use the temple as part of a ritual (don't know the specific intervals). Inside the temple is a cryogenically frozen Alien queen, which produces eggs containing "facehugger" aliens. This takes place in the year 2004.

However, in the movie Prometheus, the movie ends in the year 2093 with what we understand to be the first alien ever created, as it comes out of an engineer and now inhabits planet LV-223, which is the setting of the first Alien movie.

So if the first known alien was created in the year 2093, but the Alien queen existed in the past (for Predator rituals), then there is a flaw in the storyline.

What I expect the explanation from Ridley Scott and/or James Cameron to be is: They don't consider AVP part of the Alien canon, and ignore AVP as part of the storyline.

So what do Star Trek (2009) and Prometheus (2012) have in common?

They were both written by Damon Lindelof.

Star Trek 2 Sequel news:

According the IMDB.com, Orci and Kurtzman could go in two different directions with the new 'Untitled Star Trek Sequel.' The crew could battle a villain or explore the galaxy like in most Star Trek episodes.

According to Mania's article on May 1, 2012, the Star Trek 2 bad guy will be Khan, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, and has been confirmed by TrekMovie.

'The Wolverine' is not a Prequel, It's a Sequel says Mangold

Photo still from The Wolverine, coming 07/26/13

Hugh Jackman has his claws out and is ready to "slice and dice" as Wolverine.

The Wolverine is set for theaters 07/26/13, and promises lots of bone "Snikts" as he will be previewed without the adamantium.

As the Inquisitr shares, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine Logan had his bone claws, despite this being ignored in the X-Men trilogy. That's okay. I can overlook such little nuances considering that the movies will not be an accurate adaptation from the comics we have collected.

That is why in my personal opinion, the latest Batman trilogy with Christian Bale, was a disappointment. I am a Batman purist, grew up with Batman: Animated Series and the comic books, and Christian Bale is not a good Bruce Wayne. But don't get me started.

Back to Wolverine, the newest movie, titled: The Wolverine, takes place after the X-Men trilogy, and definitely after X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Director James Mangold says The Wolverine should be considered, "Japanese noir picture with tentpole action in it." If someone actually knows what this means, somebody please explain it to me.

Mangold goes on to say: "That's something that for me was very important, that I land in a very specific place  in his timeline. I wanted to be able to tell the story without the burden of handing it off to a film that already exists and having to conform to it. The ideas of immortality reign very heavily in this story and the burden of immortality weighs heavily on Logan. For me, that's such an interesting part of Logan's character that is nearly impossible to explore if you have a kind of league or team movie."

If you haven't seen X-Men Origins: Wolverine, buy it on DVD.
