Watch The First Chapter Of The ‘Course Of The Force’ Webseries, And Learn About The Amazing Event!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Nerdist Industries has just launched the first chapter in a hilarious new webseries promoting this year’s Course of the Force. The six-part series follows Matt Mira, a man tasked with the nigh-impossible duty of recovering the stolen Course of the Force Lightsaber.

The series looks to be an absolute riot, but it’s also very important. The webseries exists to spread the word about Course of the Force, an amazing partnership between Lucasfilm, Nerdist Industries, and Octagon, that hosts an olympic-style lightsaber relay in the days leading up to San Diego Comic Con.

The 2013 Course of the Force event will take place from July 9th to 16th, and span the distance between Skywalker Ranch and SDCC. Anyone can participate in the event, and proceeds help support the incredible work of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Registration to the event is $150, and includes a customized Hasbro lightsaber, a Course of the Force swag bag, and of course entry into the experience of a lifetime.

It sounds like everyone involved is doing some amazing work, and the 2013 Course of the Force relay is already well on its way to eclipsing last year’s impressive event. Watch the first chapter of the series below, and head here for more information on the relay. Even if you can’t make it, spread the word, these guys deserve it!

Ron Perlman Is Back As ‘Hellboy’

by Shawn Madden

So, I spotted this story and thought it’d be something really cool to share with you all. This is a really touching story involving Ron Perlman himself once again dressing up as Hellboy to make a young boys wish come true. Zachary is six, and is currently being treated for leukemia and Ron went above and beyond to make this wish a reality.

In the past three weeks, Spectral Motion has been honored to host two wonderful Make-A-Wish children, Caleb and Zachary. Zachary loved his visit for two very special reasons. It was Zachary’s wish to meet Hellboy and also to become Hellboy. When the Make-A-Wish Foundation contacted Spectral Motion with this request, Mike thought it would be fantastic to have Ron Perlman reprise his role for the day. Ron loved the idea and donned the makeup once more (with the assistance of Lufeng Qu and Eden Elizalde) and also ordered a Hellboy sized meal of burgers, shakes, and fries for Zachary and his family and the entire Spectral crew to enjoy. Later in the day, Zachary was transformed into Hellboy with the assistance of makeup artists Lufeng Qu and Neil Winn. Both of the Make-A-Wish days were a complete thrill for the families of the children, as well as for the crew at Spectral Motion!
