Young actor Austin Butler is in early talks to star in Dune: Part Two as the cold and calculating villain Feyd-Rautha, the younger of the Baron's two nephews. Denis Villeneuve is at the helm for the upcoming adaptation of Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi novel set in the far future and centered on young Paul Atreides as he and his family find themselves in the midst of a tumultuous war for control of the desert planet Arrakis, home to the galaxy's most precious commodity known as the spice melange.

What is unobtanium and why is it so vital to the RDA forces? Unobtanium is a metallic gray mineral that is found exclusively on the moon of Pandora. It is a room-temperature superconductor for energy, which makes it unfathomably expensive; worth $20 million per kilogram (2.2 lbs) unrefined and $40 million per kilogram after being refined on Earth. It is not known to exist on any other moon or planet in the Avatar universe other than on Pandora.

Outwardly, it would appear that moon of Pandora is a paradise of a world with living conditions ideal for supporting human life. It has beautiful oceans, striking geological features, and a highly diversified range of both flora and fauna. These qualities are also attributable to planet earth.

The handgun from Logan's Run is unlike most other weapons utilized in popular science fiction franchises. The handgun that that sandmen used to retire “runners” doesn’t fire solid projectiles such us bullets or shrapnel. It's not a laser blaster or phased energy weapon either.

The baseline test was a more advanced and more impersonal test utilized by the LAPD in Blade Runner 2049 to measure replicant blade runner's physiological responses after completing a mission which usually required them to kill their own kind.

The iconic flying cars in the Blade Runner franchise known as spinners have always been a focal point of interest for many fans. Spinners have been a source of inspiration for many other science fiction movies including Back to the Future 2, The Fifth Element, and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (Episode II). In this video, I discuss the role of spinners in the Blade Runner movies as well as their relevance to current innovative trends in air transportation, notably air taxis and other eVTOL vehicles.
