microillusions , based in granada hills , california was a computer game developer and publisher of the home computer era ( late 1970s to early 1990s ) .

microillusions , as a company , was a strong supporter of the commodore amiga and would typically release a title on that platform before porting it to others .

the company went out of business in or about 1990 .

microillusions was an american game developer and publisher active from the 1970ies to the 1990ies . they primarily released original games for the amiga . the company went defunct in 1990 .
many years later , i went over all the royalty statements i had gotten from microillusions , and discovered that there were lots of basic arithmetic errors in them — and not always in jim’s favor .
' ' craps academy ' ' is $ 39 . 95 for the amiga . microillusions is at 17408 chatsworth street , granada hills , calif . 91344 : phone ( 800 ) 522 - 2041 .

microillusions not only published games , but produced applications & computer peripherals for amiga , atari st and c64 . it went bankrupt in 1990 / 91 . hollyware entertainment was formed out of its ashes by ex - employee , david boyles .
part of microillusions ' one to one series , which also included galactic invasion & fire power . games are characterised by split - screens & 2 player modem support ( 1200 baud only ) . distributed in the uk by activision . docs are contained in - game .
my financial relationship with microillusions was long and complicated . jim wasn’t a good businessman . that was not unusual for the software industry at the time , but there was so much wide - open opportunity that any half - competent person could start a software business and be moderately successful .
not so wholesome - sounding is the micro - vice series from microillusions , whose latest entry is ' ' craps academy . ' ' this too is an instructional program , with a booklet full of numbers and advice , but what chiefly distinguishes it is the sheer beauty of the amiga graphics .
one suspects that the real cause behind these failures and so many others was a nemesis of microillusions’s own making that also plagued many others in the amiga’s home - grown software industry : a simple lack of business acumen , and with it an associated tendency to place dreams before ethics . rather than belabor the point too much more personally , i’ll deliver david joiner’s take on jim steinert’s idea of running a business :
he leased an office for his new venture microillusions a few blocks from his store , and also picked up the lease on a small house to form a little software - development commune consisting of joiner and three of his friends , talented artists and / or programmers all . joiner describes the first year or two he spent creating inside that little house as “probably the best time of my life . we really felt like we were building the future . ”
microillusions also produces a realistic ' ' blackjack academy . ' ' a nice feature of both the craps and blackjack programs is that you can choose the rules of a favorite casino , or make your own . ' ' blackjack academy ' ' is $ 39 . 95 for amiga , commodore 64 / 128 and apple ii ' s , and $ 42 . 95 , with both 5 . 25 - inch and 3 . 5 - inch diskettes , for ms - dos computers .
while i’m very aware of the collapse of activision / mediagenic and the cataclysmic or near - cataclysmic effect it had on many smaller companies , there are mentions in amazing computing of microillusions being dropped before that happened . but as it happens , i’m going to be writing an article about the mediagenic bankruptcy very soon , so will keep an eye out for necessary revisions here . in the meantime , if you’d like to share a little more about your sources for this information , either here or via email , i’d certainly love to hear more .
classic rpg . the three brothers , introduced in the first game , have been teleported to a foreign country where they have to save the local people from evil powers spreading in the once peaceful lands . the graphics resemble those in
as you might already know , the dreamer ' s guild went out of business while making the game , and towards the end , had to release it quickly in order for it to be released at all . therefore , a lot of things were missed , not finished , left half done .
you can find all sorts of quest items throughout the game , though you will not be able to do a thing with them . entire parts of the game were removed , such as the island of ion . the island where you are suppose to find the 3rd lost key ! ( the first key being the ' tesseract key ' that you can find in the game , giving you the option to travel in the astral dimension , the 2nd key is still unknown ) .
the is a mentioning of the 3rd key is in one of the books that you can read in the game , the book is called
the three keys
, and goes as following :
the un - named key , sometimes called ' ratom ' s horrible bag ' was used only once . found by the mage ratom in the land ione that once sat in farr ' s northeast corner , the key first manifested itself as a bag capable of holding its own weight one million times over . ratom , ever foolish and arrogant , turned the bag inside - out to study how it worked . it slowly enveloped the entire land , threatening to ingest all of farr and the known universe . was it not for the party of the amorphous blob halting its expansion by sewing the bag up with the platinum string from the belly of the witch king , the un - named ' s ravenous appetite may have destroyed even the eternals . the bag is thought to be destroyed , tossed into the acid eddies of the astral plane by the great warrior pylanthius .
alas , joe pearce , a major name in the dreamer ' s guild , one of the main programmers , said :
in halls of the dead , my programming work was mainly on the island of ione , which sadly was never released with the game .
some piece of the island still remains in the game , but can only be reached by using a cheat item ( see the cheats section ) .
fta2 fansite ( faery tale adventure ii : halls of the dead fanpage . includes information about the game , the dreamer ' s guild , staff , special maps and walkthroughs . )
once upon a time , the people of holm lived happily and peacefully , protected by a powerful talisman . but one day , their land was attacked , and the talisman stolen . a brave warrior went out to investigate the talisman ' s disappearance , but returned mortally wounded . before he died , he told his three sons that the talisman was stolen by the evil necromancer , and must be retrieved at all costs . . .
is a role - playing game in which the player can assume control of any of the three brothers - julian , philip , or kevin . each of the three has his own strengths : julian is the archetypal melee fighter , philip has high luck and intelligence , while kevin is known for his kindness . should the player fail while controlling one of the brothers , the next one will replace him . each brother will be revived a few times when vanquished by an enemy , until his luck runs out , at which point he will die permanently .
much of the gameplay is dedicated to exploring the large world , interacting with non - playable characters and building up the brothers ' combat abilities by participating in battles . the fastest - growing parameter is bravery , which is comparable to experience points and strength combined . each defeated enemy yields bravery points ; as it grows , so does the hero ' s vitality ( maximum hit points ) , albeit at a slower rate . combat system is rather simple and is done in action style , with the player pressing a key or a mouse button while navigating the protagonist towards or away from the enemy . predating
, the game has a day and night cycle , and the main character has to eat and rest .
is notable for having a very vast world , usually considered the largest ever created for a video game at the time of its release . players can explore approximately 17 , 000 screens of terrain . the world is also interconnected , i . e . there are no transitions between different types of areas . items can be dropped by enemies as well as found anywhere in the game ' s world . there is also npc interaction and quests the protagonist can undertake .
with the notable exception of electronic arts , the established american software industry was uncertain what to make of the amiga in the wake of its initial release . impressive as the machine was , it was also an expensive proposition from a parent company best known for much cheaper computers — and a parent company that was in a financial freefall to boot . thus most publishers confined their support to inexpensive ports of existing titles that wouldn’t break the bank if , as so many expected , neither commodore nor their amiga were still around in a year or so .
the faery tale adventure is the story of three brothers who set out to save their village of tambry from an evil necromancer . their quest will require one or more of them — if you get one of them killed , you automatically take the reins of another — to traverse the vast world of holm from end to end , a process that by itself could take you the player hours of real time if journeying entirely on foot . whilst traveling , you must also fight monsters and assemble the clues necessary to complete your quest .
it’s difficult to convey using words just how lovely and lyrical your journeys around holm can be . even screenshots don’t do the faery tale adventure justice ; this is a game that really must be seen and heard in action . here , then , is just a little taste , in which i take a magical ride on the back of a giant turtle to visit a sorceress in her crystalline lair .
if it’s difficult to fully describe the experience of playing the faery tale adventure using words , it’s doubly difficult to explain just how stunning it was in its day . note the depth - giving isometric perspective , still a rarity in games of the mid - 1980s . note the way that characters and things cast subtle shadows . and note how the entirety of the world is presented at the same scale . gone is the wilderness / town dichotomy of the ultima games , in which the latter blow up from tiny spots on the map to self - contained worlds of their own when you step into them . in the faery tale adventure , if it’s small ( or big ) on the outside , it’s small ( or big ) on the inside . i’d also tell you to note the wonderful music , except that i’m quite sure you already have ( assuming you have the sound turned on , of course ) . seldom has music made a game what it is to quite the extent it does this one .
leaving aside the goal of actually solving the game , which is kind of hopeless — we’ll get to that in a moment — the faery tale adventure is all about the rhythm of wandering , following roadways and peeking into hidden corners as the music plays and day turns to night and back again . like another early amiga landmark , defender of the crown , and unlike far too many other games on this platform and others , it has a textured aesthetic all its own that’s much more memorable than the bloody action - movie pyrotechnics so typical of games then and now . play it just a little , and you’ll never , ever forget it .
that every bit of this vast world and all that makes it up — code , art , and music alike — was created virtually unaided by david joiner in about seven months never ceases to amaze me . this leonardo had found his niche at last :
it’s ironic because when i was growing up i was never able to focus on one single creative outlet and ignore the others — and this was considered a disadvantage . people would tell me that i had to learn to focus on one thing . otherwise i would never be successful , just be a dilettante . i struggled to find a profession which would use all of my skills , not just some of them .
david joiner all dressed up in his armor for the faery tale adventure package .
jim and i also differed in our approach to business ethics . he imagined himself to be a sharp dealer , and once boasted to me how he “saved money” in dealing with disk - duplication companies . you see , at the time there were companies which would do all the duplication work — that is , make copies of the floppy disks , print the packaging , and assemble the boxes . and many of these companies offered ninety - day terms — that is , you didn’t have to pay for ninety days , so you could use the money you made selling the product to pay back the duplicators . this made it possible to be an entrepreneur with very little startup capital , other than the sweat equity of writing software .
well , jim’s idea was that when the ninety days come up you simply refuse to pay — and then , eight months later when the duplicators eventually get around to suing you , you settle out of court for like one - third of the money . this same kind of playing fast and loose with the rules is what caused him to lose the hasbro [ sic . — i believe he means hanna - barbera ] contract , which up to that point had been an incredibly valuable asset to the company .
by then joiner had long since moved on to greener pastures in games and other forms of software development , although he would never again helm quite so impactful a project as the faery tale adventure . the writing had been on the wall for software leonardos even as he was creating his masterwork . working with a new development team who called themselves the dreamer’s guild , he did belatedly create halls of the dead : the faery tale adventure ii in 1997 . in the tradition of its predecessor , it looked and initially seemed to play great , but showed itself over time to be half - finished and well - nigh uncompleteable .

the music at the beginning of the game is a distorted mess in this version , the only otherwise working one i could find . this is down to one of the few differences between the amiga 1000 , for which the game was originally designed , and later amiga models — a sound pointer doesn’t get automatically set in the latter . if you just give it a moment , the music will resolve from dissonance to consonance and will play as it should henceforward . i think it’s kind of a cool effect , actually — but then i occasionally blast sonic youth , much to my wife’s chagrin , so take that with a grain of salt .
note that you will need to answer a few copy - protection questions at the beginning by using the map included in the zip .
for those of you who are hopeless completionists , i’ve also included with this zip the computer gaming world review that gives much valuable guidance on how to pursue your ( otherwise almost certainly futile ) quest .
by far the easiest way to get started in amiga emulation and to play this game and the other amiga games i’ll be featuring in this blog for quite some time to come is by purchasing cloanto’s amiga forever package . it makes the whole process pretty painless . ↩
i actually like that music bug , it reminds me of times , when i used to load ordinary ms - dos system files to fast tracker and used them as samples in my tracks .
anyway , if anyone is interested : music bug is fixed in whdload version of the game .
this comment may be “pathetic home team pride” and a narrow excuse for one , but it did get my attention seeing that david joiner had programmed the radio shack color computer before getting into the amiga . i still might not have dared bring it up save for a brief note in your “the future was here” that newtek’s tim jemison had also programmed the color computer ; it at least lets me muse whether there was some particular attraction or advantage in moving from the motorola 6809 to the 68000 ( and i’ve seen ads in “atari explorer” magazine by a company called michtron , who had also run ads in the color computer magazine “the rainbow . ” ) “brand loyalty” could have been a tricky thing with personal computers in the latter 1980s .
in any case , i bought amiga forever a while ago and used to to get an emulator running , although i could definitely do more with it in the future .
there were a few color computer developers who migrated to the amiga , but i don’t think it was down to any similarities between the 6809 and 68000 . it’s my understanding that the 6809’s assembly language was effectively a superset of the 6502’s , such that if you knew 6502 assembly you could program the 6809 quite effectively . i’ve never programmed the 6809 , but i have the 6502 and the 68000 , and they really are completely different architectures .
otherwise i have no great explanation . maybe a strange fondness for good computers that just don’t get no respect ? no… probably just coincidence . : )
leaving aside the goal of actually solving the game , which is kind of hopeless [ … ] it has a textured aesthetic all its own that’s much more memorable than the bloody action - movie pyrotechnics so typical of games then and now . play it just a little , and you’ll never , ever forget it .
eh , well , i played it a little , and i pretty much forgot it until now , despite the fact that i think i still have the square - folder - type c64 package out in the garage somewhere with the disk in it . i always found games like this too difficult , too easy to get killed when you’re barely a few steps out of the starting town , or in some cases when your first adventures are still within it . ( see also drakken , bard’s tale , knights of legend , etc . ) i wonder now if this was a way to squeeze out more gameplay hours , though in my case it meant more things ending up on the shelf afterwards untouched after about 30 minutes’ play . ( i guess i’m too much of a softie . )
fair enough… but i would suggest that this is a game that really needs to be experienced on the amiga . ; )
nice writeup . i bought the c64 version of this game from toys r us back in the day .
i remember being amazed by the graphics and scope – but the loading times , oh man .
minutes to enter a house , minutes to exit it . completely unplayable for an impatient kid !
“note the way that characters and things cast subtle shadows that lengthen and change position as the sun works its way around the sky . ”
i would say that not enough time passes in the video to make this clear , but , rather embarrassingly , i’m now not at all sure that the effect is present at all . ( the shadows are , that is , but i’m not sure they really change position . ) excised that bit in the name of erring on the side of caution . thanks !
“moments of wonder , like the first time you hitch a ride on that turtle you see above — or , even better , on a majestic swan — do crop up from time to time , but far too infrequently . the final impression is of nothing so much as a beautiful world running inside a marvelous engine that’s now just waiting for a designer to come along and , you know , write an actual game for it all . ”
you’re right that there’s a certain tension here , one that’s shared with a lot of other sprawling old - school games like the ultimas . i feel like the best compromise might be to go ahead and include some crazy , secret easter eggs to reward the hardcore , but to make them non - essential to victory . this way you create a game that’s solvable by everyone without destroying the joy of stumbling across the magical and unexpected for those people who want to plumb every depth and explore every nook and cranny . i’m no expert on console games , but i believe that nintendo tended to be quite good at doing this .
same here ! interestingly , the first question on the amiga was always “make haste , but take… ? ” i believe there were about 10 questions , and the answers tended to rhyme somewhat .
fight , might , right , night , knight , light , fright… . : )
great write - up ! back then the graphics and music blew me away on the amiga 500 and they still do ( sadly on a emulator these days ) … . i even play this game now and then to bring back memories .
when i read the story about joiner and his struggles around his creativity i felt somehow connected , which even enforced my admiration to the game and creator . i’m also a creative guy and still searching for a project / way of living which demands on all my creativity ( music , writing , drawing , love for pixel art , almost the same as joiner except for the programming : ) ) .
coincidentally i’ve just started to do some research to transcribe some of the game tunes for acoustic guitar ( complete with bass and melody , aka fingerpicking ) and make them playable / soundable while i’m not playing the game . i probably will put it online when it is finished .
i’m quite a dreamer so a few days ago i thought even about launching a website / memorial for fta , where every single video , musical piece , game rom and art could be finded . or… . initiate a new version which stays close to the original , but with better balance and story line . but , you know , time is the evil man here . anyway , i would love to stay in contact with people and if anyone would initiate this kind of project i will be the first to offer help where possible .
a very fair and thoughtful appraisal of what probably was my favorite amiga game – it was for sure the one i spent most time on .
at the time i found the ultima series too geeky and zelda too gamey . and i certainly wasn’t interested in dungeon master or wizardy – those i found as unappealing as paper and pen rpgs . faery tale , however , was a breath of fresh air to me . the directness of a single - scale , seamless world : 17 000 smoothly scrolling screens which invited you to stroll around in the landscape of your childhood’s fairy tales ! the music , of course , helped to make the experience intoxicatingly immersive .
graphically , too , it was way ahead . it made ultima iv look boring and it made the legend of zelda look crude . i find it mostly resembles ultima vii , which didn’t arrive until 1992 , but it is also similar to chris roberts’s c64 rpg times of lore from 1988 ( that game engine might be even more impressive than joiner’s ) .
it is true that the breadcrumbs from time to time are very sparsely dispersed . i did manage to solve the game but i also remember that i had some help from a hint page in either commodore user or computer & videogames . some solutions struck me as far - fetched but i reasoned that they probably only seemed so because i had a pirated copy and hadn’t read the manual . i guess i was wrong about that .
by the way , i just finished the future was here and enjoyed it immensely . i enjoyed the platform studies of atari vcs and nes too , but found the writing styles of those two books just a little cumbersome ( still very impressive works ) . i’d love to read a c64 platform studies by you !
sadly , the amiga platform never really stood a chance , commodore was a great technology company and horrible at marketing . the c64 is listed in the guinness world records as the highest - selling single computer model of all time .
it was activision / mediagenic that was failing , they lost a multi - year patent infringement suit , they were not paying the affiliated labels , and to make matters worse , before they filed bankruptcy , activision / mediagenic “stuffed” the distribution channels with software from every affiliate , collected the money from the distributors , and didn’t pay the affiliated labels . most affiliated labels went out of business when activision / mediagenic went under . those affiliated labels that tried to continue after activision / mediagenic bankruptcy were met with an insurmountable mountain of inventory “returns” from the distributors .
the hanna - barbara license ; games , paint and animation titles that were being developed for pc / amiga / atari / sega / gameboy all died with activision / mediagenic bankruptcy as did many other titles in development by the activision / mediagenic affiliated labels .
oh , man ! i had no idea so many of the software i remember from my childhood was the work of these guys . i never played fta , but remember discover , photon paint , and music - x — the latter two because my father paid for his amiga 2000 by making slideshows of available real estate for a local realtor , complete with synthesised sound track . iirc , he ended up using aegis sonix for its simpler interface , but i remember well fruit salad surgery and other demo songs included with music - x .
err , so * much * of the software . although i’m sure i’ll see other typos as soon as i click post .
a few days ago my husband was reading some other article about the faery tale adventure and asked if i remembered it . i said yeah , i never got very far , too easy to get killed early on and i had no idea what i was supposed to be doing ; what about it ? and he said “it was basically all talin’s work . ” cool , i thought , and figured you’d written about it a while back and i would look it up . well , i can see i commented here about two years ago and apparently i totally breezed by the fact that this talin is the talin i know . like , i have gone to parties and gaming afternoons at his house , know . not to name - drop , it’s just surreal for me to have figured this out ! probably i missed the fact before because the photo in the armor doesn’t look terribly much like he does now – a lot less hair , for one thing – although now that i know who it is , i can see it facially .
this game gave me , my wife and – much later – my kids a huge amount of enjoyment . it does take a while to figure out what you have to do but it builds up and there are a few ways of going about things ( i got the midnight meeting at the graveyard but missed the hidden desert city ) . i’ve never been an ace game player but did finish this and enjoyed the finale , when it seemed like the developer was having a bit of fun ( it’s not obvious at first you have to turn around and go in backwards ) .
fair criticism about some of the long walks . when you find the teleportation rings and later the swan , things move along a little faster . also fair comment about invincibility versus early extreme vulnerability . the suspense music loses its effect when you have too much strength further on in the game , as most of the attackers don’t pose much of a problem ( archers are still a pain though ) .
but the atmospherics are great . changing music and light with time of day , needing food and sleep , being able to swim depending on your strength , finding a raft on the river – and of course the turtle .
overall a ground - breaking game with its contextual music and unconstrained geography . but most of all the game , as you say , has some sort of magic – once you get into it – that stays with you .

this is true to varying degrees of every kind of poker , of course , but hold ' em adds intriguing twists that put basic card sense and the simple ability to count at a premium .
each player is dealt two cards face down . a betting round ensues . three cards , ' ' the flop , ' ' are then dealt face up . these cards may be used by all the players in common .
to give an improbable example , if your two face - down cards were a pair of kings , and the common cards were a king , jack and 10 , you would have three kings , a jack and a 10 as your hand at that point . at the same time , if an opponent ' s face - down cards were both spades , and the flop consisted of three spades , that player would have a flush .
after another round of betting , a fourth common card , ' ' fourth street , ' ' is dealt face up , and , again after the betting , a fifth face - up card , ' ' fifth street , ' ' is dealt . after the final bets , if anybody is still in the game , the winning hand is the best five - card combination from the seven available cards .
although it is fun to play on its own , ' ' championship poker ' ' has been designed as a training vehicle to prepare you for the real thing . a sober 40 - page booklet presents detailed statistical information based on millions of computer runs . although no one would be expected to memorize all this information , it can serve as general guidance for building a winning strategy .
the program includes exercises in analyzing the table at a glance . then you can try out your new skills in one of two simulations : a seven - player friendly friday night poker game or an elimination tournament . these simulations do not represent the latest thing in computer graphics , but they are more than adequate for the purpose .
from the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .
you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .
' ' championship poker ' ' is an excellent teaching program in a category that might , perhaps , be called educational software for adults . it is available for i . b . m . compatibles , the version i used , as well as the apple ii and macintosh . the suggested retail price is $ 34 . 95 . you could drop that amount of money in a flash at the card table .
' ' strategic craps ' ' is another new program in the play and learn to win series . although the basic rules of the game of craps could hardly be simpler , the great variety of ways you can bet can be intimidating , particularly in a fast - paced casino situation .
' ' strategic craps ' ' lets you play at a fairly rudimentary depiction of a casino layout . as with its poker cousin , you can invent and test various betting strategies . it is $ 39 . 95 and is available for the same machines as ' ' championship poker . ' '
the earlier programs in the series were ' ' beating the house at blackjack ' ' and ' ' vegas video poker . ' ' all are produced by applications plus , which has the ironically wholesome address of 15720 harmony way , apple valley , minn . 55124 ; telephone ( 612 ) 432 - 5560 .
i ' m too unpracticed a craps player to suggest which is the better teaching program , but there ' s really no choice , since they run on different machines . judging from the sheer good looks of it , ' ' craps academy ' ' is an outstanding stand - alone game .

rocket sports represents several of britain’s most successful athletes , including laura kenny , jason kenny , geraint thomas , ben swift and evie richards – between them , they boast an impressive eleven gold olympic medals and countless world titles .
prospero pictures is a toronto - based film and television production company with more than 30 years of experience producing and financing international co - productions with partners in the uk , france , germany , italy , spain , south africa and the us .
although founded as a sports management business , in recent years rocket sport has begun working with teams , events , federations and brands to create iconic and memorable sponsorships by constructing marketing partnerships between rights holder and brands across a whole variety of sports .
sir elton john founded rocket sports with luke lloyd - davies in 2012 . it was through a love of sport and underlying desire to nurture sporting talent that the business was launched and today , although the business has grown significantly , those principles remain at the heart of what we do .
martin katz is founder and president of prospero pictures . one of the most prolific feature film producers in canada , katz’s credits include hotel rwanda , which was nominated for three academy awards and three golden globe awards , and bronwen hughes’ stander , which the london observer called “the greatest heist film since reservoir dogs . ”
the next day , the daily pacific commercial advertiser , described a cheery spectacle at the famous beach : “everybody that could get in focus was ‘bonined’ at waikiki beach yesterday afternoon . that is , they were included in some rare pictures taken by robert bonine , the moving - picture man of the edison company of orange , n . j . ”
bonine’s film was shot about eight years later , and we have a reliable estimate for exactly when : august 12 , 1906 . according to an item in the honolulu advertiser that day : “moving pictures of canoes and surfboard riding are to be taken off the moana and seaside hotels , waikiki , this afternoon . . . . those who can ride surfboards standing up are wanted to be there in force . ”
when bottle rocket first came out , it felt so distinct – so laid back in its storytelling , so offbeat in its characterizations — that it seems odd to acknowledge now that it & apos ; s the least characteristic feature film of anderson & apos ; s career . the chocolate - box arrangements and perfectly - diagrammed plots of his later films are nowhere to be found here . but bottle rocket still has the most emotionally resonant relationship in all of anderson & apos ; s films , thanks in part to the brilliant casting coup of getting the wilson brothers to portray best friends – both their affection and their dysfunction comes through in intangible , almost mystical ways . no less a luminary than martin scorsese named this one of the 10 best films of the 1990s ; we & apos ; re inclined to agree .
back in 1907 , when bonine’s hawaii films were distributed on the mainland , many people had never seen surfers or motion pictures—let alone a film depicting surfing . humans have been surfing for hundreds of years , but the sport didn’t spread beyond polynesia until the twilight of the 19th century . in the early 20th century , the edison company’s surfing reels played in nickelodeons “as far east as new jersey , ” according to matt warshaw , author of the history of surfing .
since 2011 karen has been partnered with prospero pictures’ martin katz and together they have produced the feature films , man on the train ( tribeca ) starring donald sutherland and larry mullen jr . , as well as our house ( xyz international ) , in partnership with resolute films & entertainment’s lee kim , directed by anthony scott burns and starring thomas mann and nicola peltz . they are also currently finishing season 11 of history channel’s long - running hit series , ice road truckers .
“ [ t ] he water was fairly live with people , and all were in a merry mood and that , of course , was best for the moving picture , ” the newspaper account continues . “hawaiian canoes , birch canoes , surf - boards and water wings were greatly in evidence . there were big rollers yesterday and it is believed that some good pictures were taken of surf riders standing erect on their boards as they were shot on the crest of waves toward the shore . these were taken from the end of the moana pier . . . . mr . bonine was satisfied and so was the crowd . ”
this is the short that started it all . it got the feature version of bottle rocket financed and began anderson & apos ; s career , as well as the career of his childhood friends owen and luke wilson — so we have to give it loads of credit just for that alone . it & apos ; s an engaging little film , and an interesting look at the director & apos ; s style in embryonic fashion . it & apos ; s rough , black and white , 16mm – at first glance , a far cry from the kind of maximalism that today cries out
wes anderson .
but peer closer and you & apos ; ll catch the visual whimsy and the casual precision that would become his signature . yes , it & apos ; s hard to look at this and predict , say , the royal tenenbaums . but it & apos ; s clearly the work of a young man who is about to do great things .
rocketman will mark the second collaboration for john and hall . when hall adapted the 2000 feature billy elliot for the west end , john wrote the score for a production that moved to broadway and won the tony award for best musical . they’re planning an inventive way to cover john’s life and career : one device will be to feature choreographed sequences using john’s biggest hit songs . those tunes will be part of the movie package and will drive a story that will cover the rough spots in john’s journey of self - discovery .
“ rocketman will be a radically different kind of biopic , ” shaw said . “it will be as unique as elton’s life , told in a non - linear and hyper - visual manner that will transport people through the many intense experiences , some wonderful , some not , that helped define elton as an artist , musician and man . ”
uta is packaging the film , looking to set it up and sign a director as john and his cohorts try to figure out who should play him . there might well be different actors playing him at different ages . actors that pop into my mind are guy pearce and ewan mcgregor .
rocketman becomes the second big - screen biopic of an iconic rock singer penned by an a - list writer . gk films is moving forward with the peter morgan - scripted film about queen frontman freddie mercury , with sacha baron cohen attached to play the late singer .

john will executive produce the animated musical with andrew lloyd webber and tim rice .
joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat is one of the most popular musical experiences ever conceived ,
shaw said .
we are excited about the huge potential of a contemporary animated version , and we ' re thrilled to bring this to the big screen in partnership with andrew lloyd webber and tim rice .
added barney wragg , managing director of the really useful group :
developing joseph as a new feature film marks the beginning of a new stage in the really useful group ' s plans to co - produce and fund new films , television and stage productions from our theatrical shows , which play continuously worldwide .
originally created by webber and rice for performance in schools , joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat is the most performed musical in history . today , it is performed thousands of times a year by schoolchildren across the globe , and the success of the piece in schools has given rise to an international theatrical phenomenon . joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat has now been seen by an estimated 26 million people , earning more than $ 600 million at the box office . it premiered on broadway in 1982 at the royale theatre and became a critical and box - office hit , landing multiple tony award and drama desk nominations including best musical and best original score . the show has achieved a record 30 years of continuous professional touring around the u . k . , will tour the united states later in 2014 and is a regular in international markets including south africa and korea .
joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat started in a school and was the first step on the path that led to my musicals with tim rice ,
webber said .
it is now being performed all over the world by a fourth generation of schoolkids , and a great movie can only help joseph being part of the lives of many more .
added rice :
i have always thought joseph was a strong contender for an animation production , and i ' m delighted this is now going to happen .
the film won ' t mark the first animated musical based on the joseph story . dreamworks made the 2000 direct - to - video movie joseph : king of dreams , with ben affleck as the voice lead .

joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat is a musical from webber and rice that was conceived in the 1960s and has since been performed on stage many times , including on broadway . the story is based on the coat of many colors from the joseph story in the book of genesis from the bible .
it follows joseph , the favorite son of jacob , who is sold into slavery by his jealous siblings . while in exile , his knack for interpreting dreams gains him favor with pharaoh , and leads to an unexpected reunion with the family who abandoned him . the musical is actually known as the very first webber - rice musical that was performed in public .
john and rice huddled on the lion king for disney to great success . they won an oscar for best original song for “can you feel the love tonight , ” and from their collaboration several other songs rose to success such as “circle of life” and “hakuna matata . ”
also announced today as part of stx family : an untitled eddie murphy - voiced one about bo the bull , and ugly dolls with writer - director robert rodriguez on board .
when gnomes start disappearing from the suburban gardens of england , gnomeo , juliet and friends enlist the help of sherlock gnomes , “the greatest ornamental detective , ” to track the culprit . unfortunately , sherlock is neither as brilliant nor as insightful as his human counterpart , and as the crimes against gnomanity continue , the threat to their world becomes bigger than they ever imagined .
“action detective stories need some gnomes to liven them up , i’m sure arthur conan doyle would agree , ” said shaw . “it will be a fun , broad family film building on the popular foundation of the first . we believe the wide appeal of our world and characters combined with strong musical elements create a terrific franchise opportunity . ”
the company employs managers who come from various facets of the music industry , bringing with them an array of experience at major record labels , radio , talent booking and business affairs .
in 2014 elton john played an acclaimed concert in stoke park , the proceeds of which formed the elton john sports fund which is operated by the charity sportsaid . the fund provides grants to the next crop of promising sporting talent on an annual basis .
upcoming productions include sherlock gnomes , the sequel to gnomeo & juliet , and rocketman , a musical biopic movie based upon elton john’s life .
the business is focused on developing and bringing to the stage live theatre projects that are either driven by elton’s existing musical catalogue or by new compositions from elton and chosen collaborators .

believe it or not , wes anderson has been making movies for two decades now : the director who once defined youthful , oddball outsiderism is now a veteran , a giant…an institution . but what’s most remarkable about his career — consisting of seven features , and a healthy number of shorts and commercials — has been its staggering consistency . over these twenty years , anderson has been meticulously building his own very unique world , and as his new film the grand budapest hotel opens today , we decided to look over anderson’s career and rank his major works . where do your favorites place ?
it has many eloquent defenders , but , sorry : this is the one outright disaster in anderson & apos ; s body of work . somehow , the director & apos ; s highly - controlled aesthetic doesn & apos ; t quite survive the collision with location shooting , and the ironic tale of a trio of mourning brothers traveling the outer reaches of india is muddied – as if the director stepped out , saw the sun and breathed the air , and suddenly didn & apos ; t know what to do with himself . it has its moments , to be sure – the opening scene is wondrous – but the darjeeling limited is , ultimately , a messy dirge , an admirably personal work undone by clunky symbolism and tonal incongruity .
designed primarily to be a tribute to italian cinema , this is one of the most visually striking of the director & apos ; s works . an italian village at twilight finds itself playing host to a stranded american formula one racecar driver , blesed with the oh - so - wes - andersonian name of jed cavalcanti ( jason schwartzman ) . as the outsider waits , he realizes that this where his people come from . mixing perfectly timed sight gags with a generosity that hearkens back to the glory days of fellini and pietro germi , it & apos ; s a slight work , but very generous and warm .
i wonder if he remembers me .
when a scene in which bill murray talks to a shark can make you cry , you know you & apos ; re in the hands of a master . the life aquatic is half a masterpiece : as a tale of a man whose highly controlled life is upended by the son he never knew he had , it & apos ; s an achingly sad meditation on mortality , manhood , and extinction . as a tale of adventure on the high seas ( kidnapping ! gunfights ! pirates ! ) , it & apos ; s a bit awkward , with the ping - ponging plot points never quite working up to the dizzying heights of comic suspense the film so clearly wants to achieve . still , its accomplishments seem greater and greater with each passing year – a movie about aging and irrelevance , made by a young man exploring the boundaries of his style .
anderson’s breakthrough feature – not to mention the movie that introduced most of us to jason schwartzman and to bill murray , serious actor – is a coming - of - age movie in reverse : a young man has to learn not to grow up too quickly . but rushmore does suffer a bit from the fact that it seems to focus at times on the wrong character : schwartzman is great and all , but the problems of max fischer , precociously busy grade f student , don’t quite plumb our inner darkness the way herman blume’s midlife crisis does . we’re more interested in the vietnam vet , successful businessman , and divorced dad who’s reached his limits with the world . the film established anderson’s exacting style , but today , seen in the light of his later films , it feels downright neorealist . that’s not such a bad thing . the best , however , was yet to come .
of course wes anderson made an animated movie , and of course it was delightful . even the director & apos ; s detractors admit that this is one instance where his style perfectly matched his material – in this case , roald dahl & apos ; s beloved children & apos ; s story about the mischievous mr . fox and his battles with the farmers whose crops and coops he regularly raids . but utilizing stop - motion animation , anderson didn & apos ; t just make a kids & apos ; movie ; he made a wes anderson film , combining fable - like storytelling with demented wit and turning dahl & apos ; s curious little tale into a charming heist flick .
for a guy who never acts in his own films , wes anderson makes for a surprisingly relaxed presence in front of his own camera . filmed as part of american express & apos ; s program of hiring high - profile filmmakers to shoot credit card commercials , this is so meta it hurts . in a seemingly endless lateral tracking shot , anderson eats a sandwich and talks to the camera while also dealing with the many headaches and decisions that are part of a wes anderson movie set : stuffed tigers , impeccably burning cars , a crane dolly , a 357 magnum with a bayonet , a precocious young girl with a tennis racquet , jason schwartzman , and an ill - timed flock of birds . forget amex ; as far as building brand awareness goes , this is a triumph of brand wes anderson .
probably the best of anderson & apos ; s shorts – too bad it was paired with the darjeeling limited , the worst of his features – this lovely little concoction starring jason schwartzman and natalie portman is an elegant auto - critique , the tale of a hotelbound sad sack with an obsessive need for precision and an inability to say what he wants to the woman he clearly loves . are these characters tired of love , or hopelessly in love ? and what , ultimately , is the difference ? a mini - masterpiece of brevity and melancholy .
after the disappointment of darjeeling , some expected anderson to pull back on the andersonisms :
leave the color - coded artificial worlds to animation , as you did with mr . fox , wes , and come deal with the messy world of real humans !
but in this , his first honest - to - god feature - length romance , anderson doubled down on the stylization , presenting one of his most vibrant and beautiful works to date . a lovers - on - the - run movie , with overt references to badlands , thieves like us , and pierrot le fou , as well as a tale of unapologetic childhood romance , it feels at times like a manifesto .
rushmore might have been anderson’s breakthrough feature , but as the years pass , the royal tenenbaums has come to seem more and more like his most enduring masterpiece . observe how anderson juggles the large amount of characters and the sheer amount of story he has to get through in this diffuse , intricate tale of a wounded family of grown - up wiz kids and their adorably opportunistic father ( gene hackman ) . for all the flamboyance of his cinematic style , anderson also has a minimalist streak as well : he likes the purity of an emotion expressed directly and simply . the sheer range of human drama here is astounding : it’s a movie that grows up with us . we’ll still be watching it when we’re seventy .

more than a century ago , a cameraman on waikiki beach captured something extraordinary—and ordinary .
searching for surfing videos will lead you into some of the gnarliest , most awe - inspiring rabbit holes on the internet—in part because there are so , so many of them out there .
you could spend days watching clips of surfers bumping across the monster wintertime waves at waimea bay , catching crisp lines at bells , dropping into bomb swells at jaws , and wiping out into the coral reef at teahupoʻo . ( and then there’s the endless footage of wave riding at secret and lesser - known breaks . )
advances in camera technology—including waterproof lenses , gopros , and drones—have made it easy ( and relatively affordable ) to capture high - quality footage of modern surfing . and the internet , with platforms like youtube , has made it possible for people to share their videos far and wide .
did edison really travel all the way to honolulu to capture the sport for a silent film more than a century ago ? well , not exactly .
“we have no evidence edison ever visited hawaii , ” said leonard degraaf , an archivist at thomas edison national historical park . “there’s tons of stuff about edison out there that’s bogus . ”
the thing is , the surfing footage actually is legitimate—only edison himself didn’t capture it . it was the work of robert bonine , a legendary cameraman for a production company owned by edison . bonine traveled to hawaii in 1906 at the invitation of the territory’s promotion committee , according to newspaper reports at the time . he stayed in the hawaiian islands for nearly three months and gathered a series of film actualities—little documentary vignettes—of various outdoor scenes . that included the surfers at waikiki and the first - known film of kilauea , the volcano on the big island , newspapers said .
this wasn’t the first time an edison crew visited hawaii , however . degraaf directed me to charles musser’s book , “before the nickelodeon , ” which describes an edison camera operator stopping in honolulu en route back to the united states from japan in 1898 . one of the short films he made , titled “ kanakas diving for money , ” shows boys splashing in a harbor . ( kanaka means person in hawaiian . ) despite the film’s brevity—it’s under a minute long—it conveys a powerful metaphor about the cultural upheaval wrought by colonialism at the time it was shot : at one point , an outrigger canoe passes in front of a huge cargo ship in the background . “i think this is the earliest record of an edison film crew in hawaii , ” degraaf told me .
bonine’s surfing footage is arguably the most “historically significant” of early surf films , engle writes in his book , in part because of how surprisingly modern it appears : “with this rudimentary minute of film , bonine may be unwittingly illustrating a truth about the surf movie to come . when the subject is being filmed—human beings standing on collapsing walls of water , after all ! —is so inherently riveting , perhaps little other technique is needed . ”
by that point , the tentative art of surfing filmography was nearly a decade old .
“presumably the oldest surfing footage was shot in 1897 or 1898 by burton holmes , a professional travel writer and lecturer , ” desoto brown , a historian and archivist at the bishop museum in honolulu , told me in an email . “however—and this is typical of old films—the footage is not known to exist anymore , so nobody can see what was shot .
there are records of other lost surfing films . the pathé brothers , a pair of french filmmakers , gathered nearly two hours of footage for “surfing , le sport national des illes hawaii , ” which has long since disappeared , according to engle’s book . it’s remarkable that bonine’s footage survived—it predated the first book about surfing , which is itself exceedingly rare—but perhaps more astonishing that it’s still so accessible today . the overwhelming majority of the movies made in the united states between 1912 and 1929—some 70 percent of them—are lost to history , the library of congress found in a 2014 study . the short clip is in the film collection of the library of congress . and you can watch it on youtube . but the film is accessible in the abstract , as well .
in this era of livestreams and nearly - real - time surf cams , if you go online and tune into waikiki’s gentlest surfbreaks —queens or canoes , where bonine took his film—you may well see the same thing bonine did : sky meeting ocean , a fresh set rolling in , and a human figure standing there on the water before diving into the froth of a distant wave .
