0 preview of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning hands-on

"R A Salvatore wrote us a 10,000 year history, not just for this game, but instead just for the intellectual property," Reckoningproducer Sean Bean told me.
The Two Towers continues the second chapter of the epic J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy, Frodo the hobbit braves terrible dangers in an attempt to destroy the magical ring. Winner of two Academy Awards, including Best Visual Effects. (USA, 2002) Directed by Peter Jackson and stars: Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee,Sean Astin, Sean Bean, Liv Tyler, Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortensen, John Rhys-Davies, Bernard Hill, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Hugo Weaving, Miranda Otto, David Wenham, Brad Dourif, Andy Serkis, Karl Urban, and Craig Parker.
This "spirited adventure comedy," directed by Tarsem Singh (Immortals) is "filled with jealousy, romance and betrayal." Relatively is hoping that it will "capture the imagination of audiences the world over."
Point is, Sean Bean(Game of Thrones) acts in a lot of things and dies in a lot of things. Harry Hanrahan, an expert viral video maker, caught onto this and gives us a masterpiece of editing, set evidently to the score from the zombie-killing video game Dead Island. Just count the different ways our Yorkshire gallant kicks the bucket: He gets shot in the head while holding a book. Well, he gets shot a lot of times in various states of surprise or resignation. He has his throat slit. He gets impaled. He gets impaled and then also blown up. He's hanged. He's beheaded. He's dropped from a helicopter onto a radar dish and then crushed by scaffolding. He's stabbed in bed. He's bayoneted. He's tethered to horses who tear his limbs apart. He's chased off a cliff by cows. And we haven't even arrived at what befalls him in the land of ring-clutching hobbits and vainglorious last stands. The video catalogs Bean dying 22 times in all.
I ask Reubens if LSD or other hallucinogens ever played a part in the creative process of Pee-Wee. He says no and then offers me some psychological counseling.
eubens talks a bit about his new Judd Apatow produced Pee-Wee film. He describes the movie as a road trip picture in the same vein as Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and promises that it will be set in the real world. He then denies that it will be a family film until his publicist steps in to correct him.
