Fan Film: Star Trek Continues

"Star Trek Continues E01 "Pilgrim of Eternity"" by StarTrekContinues

The fan-made web series Star Trek Continues, directed by Vic Mignogna, picks up of story of the crew of the Enterprise immediately after the end of the original series.  The cast does an admirable job capturing the spirit of the original series and an even better job emulating the look of the series. It's a jarring reminder of just how far consumer-grade technology has come when hobbyists can re-create the experience of what was a cutting-edge network series this well.

This episode, "Pilgrim of Eternity," was written by Mignogna, Steve Frattarola, and Jack Treviño, and follows up the original Star Trek episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?" In fact, Michael Forest reprises his original series role as Apollo. And there are a few more surprises in this episode, including a very special guest star. Also, be sure to listen closely to the ship's computer.

Fan Film: Flight From Shadow

"Flight From Shadow (WHEEL OF TIME fan film)" by EpicLevelTV

Epic Level TV has posted a making-of documentary going into the story behind the creation of “Flight From Shadow,” a Wheel of Time short film created by fans of the epic fantasy series.  The whole project makes me wonder how this series has gone so long without some form of screen adaptation.

"WHEEL OF TIME fan movie "Flight From Shadow" chronicles the events in the "Four Kings in Shadow" chapter from The Eye of the World, the first book of Robert Jordan's bestselling series.

After narrowly escaping an ambush in the town of Whitebridge and walking for days on the Caemlyn Road, Rand al'Thor and his companion Matrim Cauthon seek rest and shelter in the Dancing Cart-Man Inn at the village of Four Kings. After bargaining for one night's room and board with Saml Hake, the duo soon discover that the servants of the Great Lord of the Dark are hot on their heels. Deceived by Hake and his henchmen, Rand and Mat find themselves trapped in a storeroom, forced to use the forbidden energy of the One Power for their very survival."

Fan Film: Girl of Steel

"Girl of Steel" by Vincent Tran

Here's a fantastic fan film that frames the story of Supergirl with the dignity that's so often been absent from her franchise.  Read an interview with the film's star at Comic Book and Movie Reviews.

"Girl of Steel is a conceptual fan film based on DC Universe/Comics heroine, Supergirl. We wanted to produce a short story that empowers female role models. The Girl of Steel isn't just a superhero, but a freedom fighter inherited in all young women."

"The OMEn Chronicles - Harry Potter - 4K" by Wrenthereaper

It's been two years since the last Harry Potter movie came out, but thanks to a filmmaker named Wren Weichman, fans get to return one last time in a fan made series called "The OMEn Chronicles." The series is set in the Harry Potter Universe fifteen years after the events of J.K. Rowling’s last book.

The series doesn't feature any familiar faces the books, but fans will recognize the spells being used by the new characters, even if this time around they're said with American accents. 

"In a world filled with magic, one mysterious person tries to keep a forgotten power safe from both the Officers of OMEn and the Evil forces wanting to corrupt it."

Fan Film: BOOKER, CATCH!

"BOOKER, CATCH!" by Nerdist

Chris Hardwick (The Talking Dead) and Chloe Dykstra star in this funny Bioshock Infinite fan-made short called "Booker, Catch!" He was wearing this outfit during a few panels at Comic-Con this year. I've also seen him wearing it in a couple of other videos, so I'm wondering if he was just really busy shooting this stuff while he was in San Diego.

"Making his way through the floating city of Columbia, Booker DeWitt is a man on a mission! Luckily his ever helpful companion, Elizabeth, is always around to keep him stocked up on supplies, even if she might get a little overzealous with her throwing. Booker, Catch!"

Fan Film: Dark Knight Legacy

"The Dark Knight Legacy" Directed by Brett Register from Machinima

Though it's over a year old now, there’s still a debate raging as to the meaning of the conclusion of The Dark Knight Rises. Did Bruce Wayne survive or was Bruce's uncanny appearance in the café mearly a figment of Alfred's imagination? Did John Blake become Robin or Nightwing or even a new Batman?

While there the answer to the first question will never be definitively settled, the answer to the second question is much more clear. Remember Wayne's quote from Batman Begins: "As a man, I’m flesh and blood; I can be ignored, I can be destroyed. But as a symbol…as a symbol I can be incorruptible. I can be everlasting." Clearly, Blake is intended to rise to fill Batman's shoes, validating the entire point of the trilogy.

Sadly, we're never going get to see Nolan's version of Blake's story, but director Brett Register has harnessed the fanatically following of Christopher Nolan's trilogy to create a fan film that offers up some closure. It's called The Dark Knight Legacy, and it's fairly brilliant. Set one year after the events of The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight Legacy follows John Blake's adventures as Nightwing, defending Gotham City from a new villain known as the Red Hood.

"Dark Knight Legacy is a fan film set one year after the Dark Knight Rises, following "Robin" John Blake's heroic journey to protect the symbol of Batman from the lethal, relentless attacks of a masked vigilante known only as the Red Hood."
