Collider (sometimes referred as Collider World) is a 2013 Irish-Portuguese co-produced drama/science fiction film distributed by beActive Entertainment. The film acts as the core for a transmedia project developed for various platforms.
Prior to the film's development, Collider started as an interactive multi-platform project distributed by beActive Entertainment that combines comic book series alongside a graphic novel, two mobile video games for Android devices webisodes and online presence.
An 8-episode digital series that acts as prequel to the film was developed in January 2012 for YouTube and SAPO, gaining more than 1 million viewers. The series was subsequently broadcast on Portuguese television channel SIC Radical.
Victor wakes up with his wife, Natalie, and daughter, Jessica. He drops them off at a café on the way to work. He is part of a team of physicists building the world's largest super collider called the Zero Point Collider, which has the potential to produce unlimited free energy.
They start up the collider on a test run. However, Emily, another physicist, notices there is a calibration issue with the atomic clocks. Before they have a chance to investigate the collider explodes, devastating the area.
Dr Frung tells Victor he has seen her before, but Victor has no memories of her. Victor tells the doctor about the collider explosion, and she claims that he has developed MRS as a coping mechanism after the death of his daughter.
Victor starts having dreams and flashbacks about the events before the collider exploded. He finds the iPhone at work that he had before the explosion and goes to a shop to find a charger for it but the assistant has never heard of an iPhone. He manages to make a charger, and uses the phone to contact his wife in the original reality. Both Natalie and his daughter are alive and act normally. He realises this iPhone is his only link to the original reality.
Victor visits Dr Frung again, showing her a recording of his daughter's 7th birthday on his phone. He tries to convince her that the explosion from the collider has created an alternate reality, but she doesn't believe him.
Chuck turns up and takes Victor to Zero Point industries to see Leo. Leo admits he is trying to use the collider as a time machine, to see into the future and predict what the stock markets will do. Leo asks Victor to help him perfect the collider, but Victor turns him down.
Victor goes back to the club to find Natalie. She has watched the video of their daughter's birthday. Victor then explains to Natalie about the collider creating an alternate reality. He tells Natalie there is a virus on the phone which can restore everything back to normality.
Victor goes back to Zero Point industries to deploy the virus. He hacks into a computer and downloads the virus, but Chuck and the investigators find him and take him to Leo's office. Although one of Leo's thugs destroys the iPhone, it was after the virus download succeeded. Leo threatens to kill Natalie unless Victor helps to perfect the collider. Chuck activates the phone virus, and then rescues Victor, shooting the security guards. However, Chuck is also shot.
The virus has sent the collider into overdrive, causing another massive explosion. This explosion sends Victor back to his original reality where his wife and daughter are still alive. Normality is restored, and Leo is arrested for stock manipulation.

How times have changed, both for Comic-Con and the people who cover it obsessively. The San Diego gathering was once viewed as a safe space for nerddom, at a time when geeking out over Captain America and Superman was viewed as a sign of arrested development. Over the past decade, though, comicbook culture has become the dominant form of popular entertainment, and like Comic-Con itself, film blogs have gone mainstream.
What prompted Steven Weintraub, the founder of Collider, to join forces with Complex Media was a feeling that he needed more resources in order to get to the next level. The sale means Complex will handle the business side and ad sales, as well as offer Weintraub editing support for the videos he records with filmmakers and talent.
I have a project set up with two objects. One of the objects is a plane with the bend deformer applied and also the collider body tag applied. The plane and bend deformer are grouped, and the collider body tag is applied to the null object.
With the help of the experts at Little White Lies, host James Richardson takes a look at the latest movie releases. Episodes feature reviewing the latest releases big and small, important industry news and looking back at the greatest films ever made. Recent episodes include: "Vice/Destroyer/The Manchurian Candidate," "Glass/Beautiful Boy/The Sixth Sense" and "Stan & Ollie/Colette/24 hour Party People."
The researchers say this work represents the first direct observation of collider neutrinos and will help us to understand how these particles form, what their properties are, and their role in the evolution of the Universe.
FASERnu is an emulsion detector consisting of millimeter-thick tungsten plates alternated with layers of emulsion film. Tungsten was chosen because of its high density, which increases the likelihood of neutrino interaction; the detector consists of 730 emulsion films and a total tungsten mass of around 1 ton.
"Neutrinos are the only known particles that the much larger experiments at the Large Hadron Collider are unable to directly detect," he says, "so FASER's successful observation means the collider's full physics potential is finally being exploited."
An adaptation of the short story Beware of the Dog, the 1989 TV movie Breaking Point took an intriguing plot and overinflated it with theatricality, poor writing, and cheap effects and is one of the worst Roald Dahl movies. The reason Dahl's short story was a success was the darkness found in its subtlety, something Breaking Point clearly didn't know how to recreate. Between the overacting and the pacing issues, Breaking Point was an all-around mess. What's worse is that the film was supposed to be a remake of the 1964 film 36 Hours, which truthfully didn't fare any better.
Many who aren't already fans of the musical will probably find themselves pining for the 1996 original. While the music itself is iconic, the film version suffers from an issue of on-screen chemistry that the tunes can't drown out. The role of the Wormwoods was severely cut down, and while Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough do their best, they simply can't live up to the bombastic show put on by Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman in the original.
Now, nearly two decades after Artemis Fowl was first announced to be adapted into a feature film, Branagh's Artemis Fowl is coming to our small screens. But did movie miss its shot to become the next franchise to vie for that coveted Harry Potter crown? Are we just too cynical, too jaded for yet another boy prodigy? Branagh doesn't think so.
I was a major fan of Artemis Fowl growing up, so I have to ask about the major changes you made while adapting the film. The biggest having to do with the characterization of Artemis, who is more of a traditional hero and less the redemptive villain/anti-hero than he was in the books. Why did you choose to go this route?
And also for me, it's a misnomer to believe that you can get inside the individual heads of everybody who may have loved the book, and then provide them with what I think is a sort of bogus idea: the, as it were, "definitive" version of the book. Because it's always going to be different in everybody's mind, even if they're looking at exactly the same sentence, or the same character. But do you get Butler, do you get Foaly, do you get a version of Juliet? Do you get his dad from the beginning of the segment? You get all of those things, just not exactly the way it is in the book. And I think that I came into a process of development, where those stories have been developed by film companies for 15 years, trying to wrestle with some of the questions that you're talking about here, and clearly they hadn't worked. And so we arrived at this particular version, which, you pay us your money and it takes your choice. When we open Thor, people said many of the same things about the alleged difference from an alleged authentic version. Turns out that you know if there's enough of what people like, then the debate becomes about how it develops. You have to start somewhere.
So I was actually on the set of Artemis Fowl in 2018. And when I was there, there wasn't any mention of Colin Farrell being cast in the film yet. Was Artemis Senior originally a major part of the plot or was that something that got reworked when Farrell was cast?
No, the father was always there and always talked about, and the story of the film stayed consistent, I think, across the across the development. Once we decided that [Artemis Senior would play a bigger part], our goal was to try to stick as close as we could to the events of the first film, bringing in the incident of the second book with The Arctic Incident. And so the idea of the kidnapping, which would be the inciting incident that allowed everything, that reveals who Artemis Fowl is, has to happen through the course the first film. What became clear was we needed to see it. So we'd written a lot about him and we referred to him and we had a story that was determined to rescue him, but we didn't see him, and it became clear that we had to see him. So the scenes that we'd written off-screen became scenes we put onscreen. And we happen to be very, very fortunate that Colin Farrell was available when we made that decision. And he became an integral part of the onscreen story, even though the dad been an integral part of the entire story from the beginning.
