Noon is the new North Pole. A sun-drenched city in a world 250 years in the future, desolated by nuclear mining, which set off a 50-year-long earthquake, and a volcanic eruption large enough to halt the Earth’s rotation. This awesome 10-minute short shows a brutal world ravaged by corruption and greed, and looking like a cross between District 9 and Judge Dredd, it’s well worth a watch.
Noon was written and directed by Kasra Farahani, who has worked and directed the art on many a great film, including working with the likes of JJ Abrams, Spielberg, Michael Mann and James Cameron. It’s the third scene in a completed screenplay, that’s looking for funding to get the rest of it made.
I really hope he manages it, because the world and characters he’s been able to develop in just 10 minutes of video is miles better than 1,000 Transformer romps. A gritty, realistic, fully-enveloping premise — this film has to get made. [Noon via io9]

Looks promising.
Is it just me, or those guards the Combine Overwatch?
Yeah, totally! I’ve been racking my brains, trying to remember why they looked so familiar.
Oh come on! You gotta give me credit for that one. I said it two comments up.
