Wall art
By Emily Hedrick
Posted: Friday, Jan. 27, 2012
To paint or to paper? For well over 300 years, for owners of bare walls, that has been the question.
Design historians claim that wallpaper has its roots in ancient China, where rice paper was glued onto walls as early as 200 BC. It wasnt until 1675, however, when French engraver Jean-Michel Papillon started making block designs in matching, continuous patterns, that wallpaper as we know it today got its start. This modern version of wallpaper quickly made its way into fashionable salons in England and France, offering an alternative to hand-painted murals, frescoes and woven tapestries for those artistocrats who loved the beauty and romance of patterned walls.
Since those late 17th-century beginnings, wall coverings have evolved drastically, as technology stepped in to create products that include compounds and materials that Papillon never imagined. Though wallpaper is actually a misnomer for whats on the market, most customers still use the term for any surface treatment for a wall that isnt painted.
Wallpaper captivates decorators for its versatility, visual appeal and ability to hide a multitude of flaws on walls worldwide. Wallpaper can make a small space look bigger or a large space take on the proportions of a grand gallery. It can add depth and intensity, make a bold statement or create a subtle background.
Most of all, wallpaper expresses the owners individual style even more elaborately than paint.
The home furnishings industry has changed substantially in the last decade as the economy forced many smaller manufacturers and mom-and-pop retail outlets out of business. By the late 1990s, designers were noticing a trend toward cookie-cutter interiors in neutral tones and a deliberate choice of paint over wallpaper. Additionally, the economy started causing some homeowners to choose lower-cost design solutions such as blinds and paint rather than custom draperies and coordinating wall coverings.
Discriminating homeowners, however, have continued to gravitate toward wallpaper not only for its almost limitless variety and beauty but also for its durability. And now wallpaper is again on the upswing.
Wallpaper, especially if its properly cared for, lasts longer than paint, declares Jenifer Stern, national agent and export manager for Schumacher, a leading manufacturer who caters to the luxury home furnishings market. Our customers perceive that they get a better return on their investment with wallpaper than with paint alone, and its absolutely true.
Our customer doesnt want what everyone else has, which makes product lines like ours so valuable to our market, she says.
Companies like Schumacher, Thibaut and Scalamandre, local designers agree, offer unique designs that appeal to homeowners who aspire to a certain level of comfort and quality in their surroundings. Wallpaper is definitely part of that equation.
A wall without the right covering is like a cake without icing, says Stern.
She says to predict trends in her industry, one only has to look on fashion runways; Whats showing on the runway will translate into home furnishings about a season later. As an example, she mentions hot new wallpaper patterns like Greek keys or trellises, and tone-on-tone prints, all of which came from Gucci clothing shows last year. Color in home décor, especially, she says, tends to follow the fashion industrys lead.
Other current wallpaper trends include:
Nature is working the walls. Prints inspired by the forest floor or leaves, ferns, berries and flowers have never been more chic. Animals not just from the jungle, but from Down Under show up often, too.
Eco-friendly is on the comeback trail. Grasscloth, which was never out, is now back in in a big way. Formerly considered a bargain, grasscloth speaks to sustainability, since its made with natural fibers of jute, reed and arrowroot. Lately it has been updated with metallic threads and prints like plaids and stripes, and it now comes in a variety of colors. These changes are driving the selection of grasscloth into home offices and dining rooms, in addition to the playrooms where it was often relegated in the past.
In addition to the familiar grasscloth, other textured wallpaper in the form of raised patterns, flocking, embossing and embroidery is being used, especially in more contemporary interiors.
Traditional still rocks but maybe with a twist. Classic, comforting wallpaper designs are being used as always, but now perhaps in a nontraditional color. Some industry insiders are predicting trends in the optimistic, saturated and rather primary colors from the late 1960s like greens, yellows, corals, reds, blues and purples, alone or in combination.
Timeless design was never out. Hand-blocked, made-to-order wallpapers with classic patterns from the colonial, Victorian and Art Nouveau eras, often known as document prints because of their historical roots, continue to satisfy the style of homeowners who love the look of reproductions.
Make a bold splash. Wallpaper allows you to have fun without going overboard unless thats your style. Especially in contemporary designs, homeowners are using one, large dominating pattern such as a cluster of giant lily pads on a single wall as a focal point. The effect can be very stylized, masculine and, above all, original.
As if deciding which wallpaper best makes your personal statement isnt difficult enough, you might consider wallpapering the ceiling. Schumachers Stern calls the ceiling the fifth wall and adds that ignoring the ceiling is like wearing a ball gown with tennis shoes.
Murals, often found only in childrens rooms, have grown up: Photographic or painted murals in the form of wallpaper can transport any room to the English countryside, a cityscape, an Oriental garden or the tropics.
And like paint, wallpaper comes in various finishes, like pearlized, matte or high-gloss.
Finally, if you cant find the perfect wallpaper to match those new curtains, consider installing Anaglypta or another brand of textured, uncolored wallpaper made of cotton and paper pulp. Over its various embossed patterns, you can paint the color of your dreams.

How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
hi there,
Im looking for an architect to draw up plans for a small extension. My question is how much can i expect to pay and also will the architect just do the drawings and be done with it ?
Basically i just want to get drawings, get a quotation from a builder and build . Can i do this ?
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
considering 40% of them are expected to be unemployed by march, I reckon you could haggle the price!
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
In my experience they're like solicitors..some will try to charge wildly extortionate fees,others will be looking for a fraction of that for the same job.
Shop around and ask lots of them.
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
In my recent experience they charged €18,000 for basic drawings (ie planning permisison submission) on a 2000 sq foot bungalow.
They do not do structural specifications (big ommisison - an extra cost)
That does not include the 6 basic site inspections.
Project management is entirely separate.
If you find those charges high try a good engineer instead.
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
If you know exactly what you want, and need only drawings, then it is not a job for an architect. There are many people competent in producing drawings of that type, including architectural draughtsmen (and women), surveyors, engineers, and even school teachers of Construction Studies.
You might also need specifications. For a simple job, the specification can be on the sheet with the drawing (sez he, having just received such a drawing by email yesterday).
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
18k is alot of lolly!!
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
in general you get what you pay for, up to a reasonable level.
if you want an architectural masterpiece you will need to pay for the skill of the architect who will create one for you. if you want to build the same extension as the-one-they-have-down-the-road, you dont even need an architect.
however, i would say that even in the current climate, paying a reasonable fee to a good architect should add much more value to your project than the cost of the initial fee
by 'value' i mean both your enjoyment of a well designed living space, and the value of your house if you decide to sell up in the future.
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
to actually answer your question:
an architect can oversee the construction on site as well,
ask for a breakdown of their fees for each stage,
ensure that any extras (i.e. engineer fees) are clearly listed or highlighted
ask for examples of previous work and references,
the RIAI publish the results of a fee survey every couple of years, ask to see the relevant section of this during your meeting
you can book an appointment with a local architect for saturday march 7th for a fee of €75 via the simonopendoor website(fees go to the charity)
this might be a good starting point?

Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
A friend of mine used the Simon project. They engaged the architect for a hour. He gave them some very useful tips and expanded their knowledge about what they could achieve on their site. It was a house extension. They then incorporated those ideas into their plans when getting costings elsewhere. They did not feel under any pressure to use the architect with whom they had connected through the Simon community, (and in fact they didn't use him) but they do believe the "donation" for the consultation was money well spent.
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
The services provided by an Architect break down into 4 areas:
Initial Design:
Meeting the clients, discussing the brief (client's requirements), timescale and budget, carrying out a site inspection and survey, preparing initial design proposals for discussion with the client, advising outline costs and requirement for additional consultants, advising on planning, building regulation, health & safety regulations (as required), agreeing cost, scope of services and fees.
Developed Design:
Developing the client's brief and outline proposals, further disussion with client to agree preferred options / layouts, incorporating relevant planning, building regulations and H&S requirements into proposals, liaising with any appointed consulants, signing off on developed design and costs with client and, if a planning application is required, preparing all relevant documentation - application forms, notices, drawings, outline specification of materials, supporting information - for submission.
Detail Design:
Developing detail design of project including construction details, site works, finishes and fittings (if required), preparing technical & quality specifications, incorporating consultants detailed design, addressing any planning issues (compliance submission, as required), preparing Forms of Tender, advising client on forms of Contract & client requirements, liaising with QS, preparing tender lists and issuing tender documents.
Reporting on Tenders with QS input as required, requesting clarification of rates from tenderers as required, advising clients, arranging contract between client and contractor, visting site to inspect progress and quality of work (as appropriate), modifying drawings to respond to site conditions (as required), issuing payment certs when appropriate and valuing the final account (with QS, as required), listing defects to be made good by contractor and then inspecting same, inspecting work at end of defects liaibility period, issuing final certificate, issuing Opinions on Compliance with Planning & Building Regulations in official format.
Generally the fee for an Architect to carry out all of the above is calculated as a % of the overall cost of the project. Work to existing houses is usually charged slightly higher than for a new-build house - with new-build there is a clean plot of land, with refurb and extension, there is a higher probability of issues arising once the building is opened up and work is underway, requiring architectural input.
Although there are no set guidelines for this - it will be dependant on the size of project and complexity of work - there is a survey on average charges available on the RIAI web-site:
This suggests that the average fee for smaller projects (up to €500k) would be between 8 - 12%.
The RIAI recommends that each of the above stages be calculated as 25% of the overall cost, which would indicate a fee of 50% of the overall project cost to take the project to planning stage - this is indicative and most architects will be more competitive than this (perhaps with the exception of whoever quoted €18k above!)
It is not necessary to hire the architect for the whole process, you can agree the services you want and the architect will quote on that basis - in your case, for the initial and developed design to planning stage. Bear in mind, that if you want to sell your home in the future, that a buyer will want to know that the work has been carried out to the correct standards, so you will probably want Opinions on Compliance as well.
Do you need an architect? Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I have a limited space to extend?
- Do I want the new space(s) to integrate seemlessly with the existing house?
- Is there an existing extension to be taken into account?
- Do I want to maximise the use of existing internal space?
- Do I want to maximise natural light?
If the answer to any of the above is yes, then an architect will probably bring more value to your project. Building is an expensive business and it's worth taking the time to get it right.
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
We were recently quoted 10% of building costs by an architect.
Considering that our house is probably going to cost about 500,000 to build then this works out at 50,000 for drawings.
I don't think so !!
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
a large part of the problem is that people have the impression that an architect just 'does drawings'. if this is your opinion, your architect did a fairly bad job of explaining what they can (and should) bring to your project. the time involved in considering an off-standard design for a dwelling house, including details for every off-standard detail or item, is quite considerable, as is preparing a complete tender package for builders to price from, etc.
the above does not take into account the architects skill and training in designing a house that is a coherent and enjoyable place in which to spend your time.
it is not comparable to the common practice of 'building off the planning drawings'
in your case, i would suspect that an architect designed and supervised house of the size you are considering building will easily be worth at least the value of their fee more than one of the same size in which an architect was not involved.
it should be considered as an investment in the property, just as installing the best heating system or kitchen you can afford is...
shop around, there should be value to be had at the moment in fees as well as everything else.
as a footnote, a percentage fee is based on the ex-vat construction costs of the house, so it would be x% of (500,000 - 13.5%)
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
That quote of 10% of the building cost was just to do the drawings required for planning permission. We had already come up with the concept and design we wanted for the house.
It was going to be extra for doing up the working drawings and tender package for builders to quote from. There were also extra costs for project management and site inspections etc.
We subsequently got other more reasonable quotes form qualified architects which is not surprising given that 40% of them are now unemployed according to a recent news report I saw. Theres a big difference between 15 and 50 thousand for drawings !!
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
sorry, i misunderstood your post. that quote was certainly from la-la land.
good luck with the project
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
Youre right about la-la land.
The same guy keeps sending us emails trying to persuade us to go with his company. I'm not sure what part of the word "no" he doesn't understand !!
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
Did i just see that you got a quote of 15k for drawings.... surely you must be out of your mind. Theres an Architectural Technician that we used when were were building our extension (practically another house) and he only charged us 3k, he did everything for us and was very pleasant to deal with. I wouldnt give that sort of money to an architect knowing theres hundreds of architectual technicians out there that can do the same job for little or nothing.
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
As mentioned in this thread and others, there is a difference between what an Architectural Technician and an Architect do. They have different training and offer different services.
An Architectural Technician might be more appropriate for a small extension where the client knows what exactly what design they want, and just requires technical drawings.
An Architect could be more appropriate for a house, where more of a design input would be required, as well as technical drawings.
Re: How much for an architect? And will they JUST do drawings?
I am well aware that there is a difference between an Architect and Architectural Technician, the same difference as between a Legal Exec and Solicitor..... I wouldnt like to think someone is being ripped off for drawings that can be done by a technician for much less. We used a guy and he might as well of been an Architect coz he knew so much but sure you learn from your mistakes.

Twitter IPO: Sooner Than You Think
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Twitter has posted a job opening for a financial reporting manager, to help when it goes public. That could be sooner than you think.
According to a job posting on LinkedIn (since taken down), the company is looking for someone to help it prepare monthly reports, quarterly and annual financial statements, as well as the S-1 filing, when the company is ready to go public.
Twitter could not be immediately reached for comment for this story.
In late 2012, I predicted that Twitter would file its documents to go public in 2013, but would actually go public sometime in early 2014. Given the timing of the job posting, it appears that this timeline is still on par.In recent months, Twitter executives, most notably CEO Dick Costolo, have pushed aside the notion that the company is going public soon. At the D11 conference in May, Costolo said it's not an issue "I spend a lot of time thinking about." When Costolo made those comments, everyone in the technology field, myself included, said that was far from believable, given the hype surrounding Twitter. The San Francisco-based social network is reported to have a valuation of close to $10 billion on private markets, and could generate as much as $1 billion in advertising revenue in 2014, according to eMarketer. Despite not being a public company, Twitter seemed to back up those numbers. In mid-2012, Twitter said it "expects to generate at least $1 billion in sales in 2014." By 2015, eMarketer believes that Twitter will generate $1.33 billion in ad revenue, with more than 60% of that coming from mobile. Given the hoopla surrounding Facebook's (FB) IPO, it will be interesting to see whether Twitter commands as much attention as Facebook did. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email.

"I recently got married and wanted to treat myself to stationary with my new name. This product attracted me because I could do both personalization AND include a picture. I used a gorgeous engagement photo as the background and did my name in black font. I read a review where someone didn't like how light or dull the photo appeared, but for me it was perfect. You write your message on the photo - so if it weren't light it would be near impossible to read your message. I have already gotten compliments on the new stationary. I did want to point out that the paper seemed a much higher quality than I am used to for Tiny Prints. (Heaviery pound perhaps?) At any rate, I was very pleased."
"I made these cards to express my joy and gratitude for a special birthday gathering. The cards are easy to design and of great quality. Delivery was very fast also."
"These little cards were just perfect for our thank yous following the birth of our son, The quality and finish, right down to the envelopes was excellent."
"I bought these to use as thank-you cards to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations for my son's baptism. They are both described as the color Aloe, so I took a chance and the colors do match perfectly. I was able to choose the same font on both products which was great. The quality of both the photo and the paper itself were excellent as always."
"Pictures turn out a little small but still very nice. One of the tiny prints designers reviewed this card for me and brightened up the pictures making it a lot better."

A nice topic over at Reddit by MooCube has sparked a discussion of players noticing changes in the game. The topic, which may be over looked on the Reddit forums, may be on the right track that players are noticing changes with in Tyria. Now this may make players start paying more attention to their surroundings and details of anything that was not there before. This is just speculation of course so please don't take this all to heart. It may be over looked details but ArenaNet does like to surprise it's player base. I guess we all will have to wait and see.

Sizing Information
Please Wait - Updating Your Shopping Cart
Galls 6-pocket BDU Pants are the number one choice for the budget-conscious public safety professional who can't afford to compromise on performance. These BDUs combine the comfort of Poly/Cotton Twill with the durability of Ripstop. Galls 6-pocket BDU Pants outperform and outlast their competitors, giving you real value for your money.
Galls 6-pocket BDU Pants are made to mil-spec MIL-T-44047E standards with 65/35% Poly/Cotton Ripstop fabric. Six traditional BDU pockets for your essential gear. Hidden buttons on back pockets for gear retention. Button fly eliminates zipper failure during dynamic operations. Reinforced knees and seat for long-lasting durability. Galls 6-pocket BDU Pants feature adjustable waist tabs for better fit and comfort. Drawstring bottom for blousing into your duty boots to keep a neat and professional appearance.
Specify regular (to 6') or tall (6'+) length when ordering a M, L, or XL pant.
Excellent pants, length is average and material appears to be above average, pants runs a little snug.
I'd give it a better review, however, it's button down fly without extra buttons 2 buttons popped off after 1st washing. Good thing the buttons were in the washer.
Pants would get 5 stars if they had a zipper and extra buttons. get one size extra than what you need
The pants are very durable except the buttons they didn't last very long. I lost 3 of them in less than 3 months.
These pants are great. Plenty of room to move, durable, surprisingly lightweight and breathable. I would recommend these to anyone.
These pants are for the first time buyer. Within two hours of wear Two butons fell off ,snakes were found throughout the BDU. The color faded after first wash. You get what you pay for, good for first time buyer. steer clear if regular buyer . I Bought a pair of 511 TDU great pants, 511 are my main pant . These will sit in the drawer.
Simply put- these are the best value out there if you're looking for a great BDU.
I ordered this pants on the 5th of Feb and got them faster then I thought I would have gotten then (4 day turnaround from order to delivery) Very durable and fits better then some of the high dollar BDU's (5.11 and TruSpecs) I have purchased which tore within a month of having them. Very durable material and does not seem to be cheaply made.
I am a firefighter and in security, I have 2 pairs of these pants. I have worn them as class b pants in uniform as well as casual. They have lasted years of wear and tear. Over all a great pant.
These pants faded very quickly, and by the 5th wash looked pretty light (using cold wash with dark detergent). They are a comfortable pant, but fit big. If I was to order these again I would order a medium instead of a large for a 36" waist. I just ordered a pair of 5.11 to compare.
I own 2 of these. Great To travel on airlines to have everything handy without overweight carry-on bag. One pair has been on African photo safari: dust, thorns, washed in river, and other abuse without showing visible wear. Other pair worn in Central American rain forests. Buttons may be slow but easier than zippers to repair away from civilization. Love these pants!
Pants are comfortable and durable. Color seems to last better than the 511's. Please, Please change to a zippered fly. Button Fly is tough handle at 0300. This is the only area that keeps the pant from 5 stars
Had to return these pants when it first of all took forever to get them and then they didn't fit me, NOT EVEN CLOSE! I'm size 32-32 and ordered m reg and I am a tall guy. They were too big on my brother who is 34-34. Not happy at all and had to reorder a sm reg and still have not got them.
I have had a pair of these pants for almost a year and i am very impresses. Sizing is correct, construction is solid, no buttons have fallen off, and the pants are very comfortable. A very good choice.
Some of the best pants I own. Extremely comfortable, padding really makes a difference in the knees, haven't faded, keeps the shirt tucked in and looking sharp. CAUTION: Buy a size larger than normal, sizes run small! I wear a 34, mistake to buy the 31-35 size. Went with the LG for a better fit. Great Professional look and feel!
Security is my line of work.Every time I switch to a different BDU pant,I always come back to TR077.TR077's don't fade out till about 6 months of wash/wear of same pair of pants.Very little shrinkage if any.Tough & hold up to rugged use.
these pants are very very comfortable..im buying another pair soon
I read the reviews and was a bit skeptic about the size. I did as suggested and ordered one size larger, perfect fit. They did not shrink in the wash. I will be ordering more very soon.
Great fit; seems durable and good value for the money. But, get rid of the button-fly and provide a zipper! When I first tried them on, I fumbled forever trying to get the buttons buttoned, then realized this will never do, as I need to get these pants on in a hurry! My seamstress is now trying to convert them to a heavy-duty zipper.
Within the first 2 hours that I wore them I got a rip in them. I was doing a 3 point pin and as my knee went down they ripped. Other than that they are very comfortable.
I've only been wearing these for about 2 months, but I can definately tell they are made well. The sizes they list do seem to be a little off though. Like other reviewers mentioned, if you're on the border between two sizes, then go with the next size up.
These are the best BDU pants I have ever had. I bought a pair about 6 months ago and they have been great still using them. they are in perfect shape. So I bought another pair. Cant go wrong with these pants.
Personally I think these BDU's are not a good choice, I purchased 3 pairs, and on my first day of duty wearing them, i dropped to one knee and the seam at the crotch split. Personally, for this price, I feel the pants should at the bare minimum withstand a simple drop to one knee position change.
These are the most comfortable pants I've gotten. Size seems true to listing. Working at a recent car crash and then later at a building fire, I found these pants durable and comfy throughout. I have gotten many compliments already. I'll be ordering a few more soon.
These are the best pants I have ever had and it is the only one i use now.
Solid pants, hold up well under all conditions. Sizes do run a tad small, if you're on the border, go up a size. Pockets are secure, but the waist tabs don't hold that great if you're a big guy like me. Still, best bang for the buck that I've found!
These are by far the best BDU trousers that I've come across on the civilian market. I traded my woodland for navy blue a few years back and now work a ramp for a major US airline. The trousers held up remarkably to constant abuse. They'd bake with me in the summer, get blasted by wind in the fall, covered in deicing fluid in winters and dry quickly after springtime showers. After a million or so washes they still hold their color. The only time I've ever had to patch them was the front pocket where I carry my keys. I doubt that I'll ever buy anyone else's BDUs ever again!
I read some of the reviews so I was a little worried when shrinkage was mentioned but I tried them on first then washed one pair to see if they shrunk and they didn't. I think they are GREAT and ordering 2 more pair right now!
Great pants, fit well but they fade after just one wash.
Comfort is a must for BDUs. Not too warm on hot days, and not to cool for those cold days.
These pants are very comfortable and withstand daily patrol wear and tear. The only issue is that they do tend to shrink. I wear a size 34 and intially purchased the size medium. They shrunk and got a little tight in the waist and crotch areas. After wearing the size large, I was much happier! All in all, a great product worth every penny!
Make sure if you are on the line of two sizes to go with the bigger size. I promise. Other than that nice pants.
My BDU pants fit fine. Better quality than most brands.
These are good pants for any kind of duty work. The only problem is that the waist tabs wear out quickly with frequent use.
I am a female paramedic and I love the fit of these BDU's. I love the reinforced seat and knees. I love the pocket placement and the buttons instead of velcro. My only dream is for a vertical instrument pocket and glove pocket.
These pants are the best thing you can buy for this much money. There is just nothing that beats the quality and durability of Galls products.
Great pair of pants, sturdily built. The only troulbe I've had is the sizes run a little small, a medium only goes to about 33, instead of 35, but overall great BDU'S!
I have worn these for years, flexible, buttons are great, pockets are sized well.
Galls BDU's are much better quality than other brands that sell for around the same price.
The pants run a bit small. The medium 31-35 really only goes to 34 waist which is my slck /trouser size for all other brands. They fit me too tight in waist and the next larger size is for someone much bigger than me. This is a common size 33-35 for many men, there should be a size in between. Three sizes fits all doesn't work.
The 31-35 pants is really only equivalent to a 34 waist alternate pair of BDU pants. If you are on the border, you need to go to the larger size (not so good for the ego - lol)
Very durable, high-quality, comfortable BDUs. Galls holds up longer and keeps color better than other brands. An excellent value for the price! Well worth the extra $$ for rip-stop construction -- they'll outlast the others!
My pair had 2 or 3 problems, seams not stopped were they should be and lots of snakes, the little pieces of material that hang off the clothing.

Director David O. Russell has talked about his upcoming adaptation of video game
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
, calling it a movie mainly about family.
"This idea really turns me on that there's a family that's a force to be reckoned with in the world of international art and antiquity," he tells 24 Frames . "[ A family ] that deals with heads of state and heads of museums and metes out justice.
"We'll have the family dynamic, which we've done in a couple of movies now. And then you take that and put it on the bigger, more muscular stage of an international action picture, but also put all the character stuff in it. That's a really cool idea to me."
Sounds to us like Russell is just as interested in story and character interplay as he is dusting numerous bad guys.
Which certainly chimes with what we've already heard regarding the movie's plot, with the director reportedly attempting to rope Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci in as co-stars for Mark Wahlberg's titular hero.
Could Russell make the first decent video game movie for decades? He definitely seems to be making a bold go at it…

BMW i3 review
The BMW i3 makes a great city car - it's relaxing to drive and there's nothing else like it on the road
BMW is best known for its high-performance petrol and diesel cars, but now the brand is embracing eco-friendly battery-powered models. Its bold i3 is the first in what promises to be an extensive line-up of zero-emissions vehicles, and it's packed with hi-tech materials and cutting-edge engineering. Yet with a punchy 168bhp motor and traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, it should be as good to drive as any other BMW.
There are four distinctive themes to choose from – Standard, £1,000 Loft, £1,500 Lodge and £2,000 Suite – all with bright and stylish seat and carpet trims, many made from sustainable materials. It is also available with an optional range-extending motorcycle engine that keeps the batteries topped up.
Without the range extender the BMW i3's range stands at anywhere between about 80 miles and 125 miles depending on how you drive; with the range-extender those numbers could double.
The BMW i3 is about the same size as a Ford Fiesta but it feels higher and larger inside. Compared to many electric cars, like the Renault ZOE or Vauxhall Ampera, it's also very lightweight thanks to its carbon fibre and aluminium construction – in fact, it's about 300kg lighter than a Nissan LEAF.
Our choice: BMW i3 Range-Extender
You'd struggle to mistake the adventurously styled i3 for anything else. Taking its cues from the BMW Coupe Concept that debuted at the 2012 Los Angeles show, it looks like it's driven straight off a designer's drawing board.
The i3's tall and narrow proportions are more MPV than family hatchback, but in all other respects it sits in a class all of its own. The heavily sculpted body panels are made from lightweight plastic, with a gloss black finish for the bonnet and glass tailgate. Elsewhere you'll spot the distinctive plunging window line, swept-back headlamps and eye-catching blue trim for the fared-in grille and lower sills. Huge 19-inch alloys add the final flourish.
Happily, the cutting-edge design continues when you climb aboard. With neat rear-hinged doors and no B-pillar, access to the BMW is easy – although you have to step over the wide sill. Once inside you'll be treated to a neatly packaged and imaginatively designed layout that's easy to use and beautifully finished.
Climb into the high-set driver's seat and you're confronted by a pair of TFT screens – one ahead of the driver and one that appears to 'float' above the centre of the dashboard. These display everything from speed to sat-nav information and can be controlled via BMW's trademark iDrive controller.
There are four distinctive interior finishes to choose from – standard, £1,000 Loft, £1,500 Lodge and £2,000 Suite – and all get bright and colourful seat and carpet trims, with many made from sustainable materials.
A high-set driving position, large glass area and direct controls help the i3 take crowded city streets in its stride, while the powerful electric motor's instant response allows you to make the most of any gaps in the traffic.
Press the start button and you hear a chime rather than the sound of a starter motor. Turn the column-mounted gear selector to Drive and the i3 pulls away with a whirr from the electric motor and a gentle rumble from the tyres.
When battery capacity drops below 20 per cent, the range-extender model's two-cylinder bike engine fires up. While it drones rather noisily from the outside, it's well isolated inside. As it only tops up the battery, the engine stays at constant revs, only increasing rpm under hard acceleration.
Thanks to the electric motor's instant torque, acceleration is rapid, and it manages a 0-60mph time of 7.2 seconds – 3.2 seconds quicker than the Toyota Prius Plug-in hybrid.
Head down a twisting back road and the i3 quickly gets out of its depth. The steering is quick and well weighted, allowing you to place the car with confidence, and there's more grip than you'd expect from the thin tyres. But hit a mid-corner bump and the tall i3 quickly loses its composure, as the suspension struggles to contain any wayward body movements.
It never feels like the car's going to lose control, but it's enough to encourage you to slow down and take it easy. Do this, and the BMW turns into a relaxed and refined cruiser. The suspension soaks up the worst bumps, wind noise is kept in check and the electric powerplant emits only a distant hum, even on the motorway.
There's an array of drive settings in the BMW. You can choose from Comfort, ECO PRO and ECO PRO+ – the latter disables the air-con and limits the top speed to 55mph with the promise of a 25 per cent increase in range.
Lift off the throttle, and the i3 slows quickly as the drivetrain recoups energy back to the battery. Drive like this, and you'll barely need to use the brakes, and will be assisting the range at the same time. But you can press the pedal slightly to slow more gradually.
BMW is new to electric car technology, but you can guarantee it's worked hard to make the i3 as reliable as its internal combustion-engined models. Even so, in a bid to reassure buyers, the brand provides an eight-year and 100,000-mile warranty for the lithium-ion battery pack, while the rest of the car is covered by a standard three-year guarantee.
The combination of a strong carbon fibre- reinforced plastic structure, six airbags and standard stability control means the i3 has some decent safety credentials. However, the bluff front end cost it points in Euro NCAP's pedestrian assessments – resulting in a disappointing four-star score.
You can add a number of hi-tech safety options, though, such as the £790 Driving Assistant Plus. This clever kit brings adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert and Traffic Jam Assist, which will accelerate, steer and brake the car at speeds up to 24mph. A pedestrian warning noise generator is £85.
Clever packaging means the i3 is quite roomy. The boot has a high floor, thanks to the running gear underneath, but the 50:50 split seats fold flat. When in place, they're easily accessed via rear-hinged back doors, while the thin front seats also fold forward to boost access.
The BMW isn't quite a full five-seater – there's only two seats in the rear – and nor is it quite a five-door car. The back doors are just small rear-opening coach doors but at least the fact there's no B-pillar in the middle makes it very easy to get in and out.
The i3's boot sits quite high up but it's nice and flat, so you can easily slide things in. There's 260 litres of space with all the seats in place and 1,100 litres with them folded down.
In the nose, you get a shallow tray for the tyre repair kit, but the cord to open it is hidden behind a panel in the passenger footwell. There's lots of space for driver and passenger, neat cup-holders, armrest storage and cargo nets, while the glovebox has a top- opening lid. One criticism we do have is with the slightly dim headlights.
Running Costs
The BMW i3's economy will depend greatly on the driving you do. Keep the battery topped up and stick to the city, and the 80-mile range means you're never likely to hear the engine fire up. We got through a fully charged battery and a tank of fuel with an economy figure of 118mpg.
An overnight charge should cost no more than a couple of pounds, while the i3 is currently exempt from road fund licence, Benefit-in-Kind company car tax and the London congestion charge.
There's a choice of Comfort, EcoPro and EcoPro+ drive modes, and the latter two are designed to save energy, with EcoPro+ going as far as switching off the climate control and limiting speed to 56mph to maximise range.
Unfortunately, the i3 REx isn't suited to longer journeys. The engine is limited by the tiny nine-litre fuel tank, and only adds another 80 miles of range. And if you go on a long trip using the petrol engine alone, you'll have to fill up every 70 miles or so. With the battery exhausted and on engine power alone, the i3 can barely manage 36mpg in the real world.
As with the Vauxhall and Toyota, the price is high even with the Government's £5,000 Plug-in Car Grant, and 34 per cent residuals aren't great, but company car tax is super-low. BMW also offers fixed-price servicing, plus access to conventional models if you need to make longer journeys.

Oh for gods sake! Climb out the Bavarians rear end will you!!
How on earth can a car with only 4 seats and a tiny tiny boot be 4 stars on practicality! A car that needs charging less than every 100 miles. Yet the Volvo reviewed in the link above gets only 3 stars. You have no consistency to your reviews.
On looks: Almost every comment on YOUR pages about this car say the same thing, ugly as sin yet you give it 4 and a bit stars. Seriously, how much do they pay towards the running of your magazine or have you just taken delivery of a new BMW with a very large discount? It has to be one of those because there isnt a cat in hell's chance its more than a 2 in the looks department.
I'm sure it will be cheap to run even after that high selling price and as most BMW's do, it will handle well and probably ride alright once the run flats are removed but you have clearly over inflated the marks to get it higher on your list.
This is at best a 3 star car over all.
"This is at best a 3 star car over all."
Really? And this is based on your driving experience of the car, is it?
It is so gopping in appearance as to suggest the reviewer who gave it over four stars is so visually impaired that he or she should hand in their driving licence immediately! Sorry to be so blunt but this thing really is appalling to behold.
lol, you mad bro?!
"BMW reckons that an overnight charge should only cost you a couple of quid"
So with the charging losses that makes it around a 8-10kwhr battery.
Lies, damn lies.....
If EV's re so amazing why are they still being subsidised to the tune of £5k by the taxpayer, here is an idea if you want to be a tree hugger or want to appear to be one, buy your own car and dont expect me to contribute
I'll be kind and label the BMW's styling "complex."
As for battery performance, the whole technology is still in beta, so it'll take a few more years of evolution before electric cars become mainstream.
Nearest to an oil challenger so far is the svelte Tesla, which I'd be happy to have in my driveway anytime.
Its an ugly milkfloat
Do the brake lights illuminate when this regeneration system operates, then? Sounds quite dangerous if one could drive around town without using the brakes at all!
Don't need to drive it. Fact is it flies in public opinion of all comments on the looks and practicality of it. Doesn't take a genius to work out that 260 litres of boot space is not practical also to have to charge the car up every 100 miles is also not practical is it? Do you need to drive it to read comments that say it looks like a dogs dinner? No. Did I not say it will probably be nice to drive but having driven plenty of BMW's and knowing this comes with economy run flat tyres like the efficient dynamics models it will ride horrible, don't need to drive it to know that is a common trait of all modern BMW's. Also don't need to drive it to know that it brings nothing new. Again all done by the magic of reading.
God sometimes I wish I didn't have my own opinions like some of the people on here.
If the people who buy this really care about the environment they wouldn't be buying a car at all! Its just to justify their own self of well-being and to make them feel like they are helping while making precisly no differene
Yes it does light up, if the pedal is lifted so much that the breaking effect is to be considered equal to normal breaking (at the given speed). And if you lift the pedal completely, it will generate more than 50kW (that's 70 hp !) of breaking power, which is fed directly back to the batteries - it's just ingenious !!
The technology is not that wonderful, others have been doing regenerative braking (not 'breaking') for years. The back of it looks like an Autobianchi Y10 from the 1985. The whole, just looks a mess. When did the committee that 'designed' it meet, from 2300 to 2305 hrs in the local pub. Once?
Wonky side windows at different levels between front & rear side windows never, ever works (apart from the Mk III Ford Cortina). Styling is disastrous, but I would love to drive one.
The other issue is safety for cyclists & pedestrians. These near-silent electric cars are lethal around town - I was almost run over by a Toyota Prius when on my bike in London - just didn't hear the thing as it came up behind me & overtook. Luckily I saw it just in time. The Govt urgently need to legislate so that some kind of noise generator is fitted to the front of all electric cars, so people can hear them coming.
AUDI A2 DID THIS 14 YEARS AGO! they are still better build quality now
Typical look of a concept car. Actually a very ugly concept car. Not enough range and infotainment is very dated. Definitely NOT for that price tag.
4 out of 5 star? really?
Wow...is that a British outdated outting that I am sensing against a new brave German product? Especially from that Andy guy? The I3 is a great new thing in the automotive world, whereas it sells well or not. You don't like the looks? Come on, that is personal and it may become a looker to you sooner than you expect. Don't jump the gun, give it sometime. Loads of carbon fibre, aluminium frame, smooth ride, roomy, range extender, come on! Don't be so vicious...
Well done BMW!
I find it different but appealing....
Great review. I'm excited about the i3. But to me the range extender isn't worth the decrease in acceleration, so I will be ordering mine without it.
During the month since my last posting on this topic, the vehicle has failed to make the maximum rating in the Euro NCAP test, despite costing £30,000 to buy. This from a manufacturer who does not have a single vehicle in the "top ten" of the 2013 J.D. Power user satisfaction survey. If this does not bring about a dose of reality to potential customers , what will?
Ssangyong must be gutted - this vehicle, in one fell swoop, has knocked both the Odious Rodius and Actyon off their Ugliest Cars in The World pedestals. It looks like a classic cut and shut job, but using five cars instead of the more normal two!! BMW's arrogance knows no bounds - I hope they get their comeuppance on this one.
@shaun Thanks for your part in the purchase of my Leaf even though I'm not a tree hugger maybe you should consider one to take advantage instead moaning.
@Andy and why do you assume people only buy electrics because of the environment?
@Paul Scott...Actually the all electrics do have a warning system, and I think the Govt should require all bike's to have a constant warning system for pedestrians!
Fair comment! Apparently in China, people attach a playing card on the bicycle fork, so that it makes a clicking noise on the spokes, so pedestrians can hear bikes coming. We should adopt something similar here too.
What other reason is there? Not drive-ability or fun value. They are inconvenient and un-practical. Most people would need a 2nd car as well as one of these.
Your comment proves you have no experience driving an EV for they have more drive-ability than ICE vehicles. My 55 years experience of virtually every engine type offered along with owning my first EV I can categorically say your wrong. Yes they are limited in range but used within that limit make far more sense than using a conventional car. In the 3 yr's when these cars came online some 130,000 + have been sold.
@shaun The tax payer subsidise's everything from the national health (UK), to road repairs, motorway system NASA, the military, etc. etc.
does that mean you want to opt out of society?
I have done about only 5k in a Leaf thank you and I can categorically say they are boring, slow and handle poorly and has put me off having one for a long time. Most of my mileage is around Cumbria and on those roads it is terrible, slow to pick up and can not handle the bends in an elegant manor. I generally do over 50k a year in my car, if I used an EV it would also push my over night costs up by a few hundred percent equalling a negative loss for me thats not even to think of all the work time i would loose charging the cars when I have to do a 350 mile round trip.
I would place a fair size bet that from those 130k sold a good chunk is simply to get around congestion charging and tax, not because they want EV.
@Andy, Little confused how you have done 5000 miles in a Leaf, you mean you actually purchased/leased one! Its blatantly obvious your 50k plus needs are not compatible with EV owner-ship so why the long test? Your previous environmental comment and opinion of others seems to me to be your main agenda. The congestion charge is London based the sale figure I quoted is not for the UK. If you want "fun" and range try a Tesla model S but then you won't like the price.
Just to add to the above.. EV owners pay the same taxes as you do so are just being smart and taking advantage of this incentive.
Its one of our company cars that we had on trial to see if it was possible to replace our diesel's and as a confirmed petrol head in the office they thought it would be 'funny' to give it me. I had it for a month so 5k was easy if not drainnig on both me and the cell's. I had to completely reorganise the way I worked meaning more time away for my family just to make sure I could do the journeys required.
My biggest problem with EV's is that they are nothing more than PR vehicles, yes the motor dev that goes in to them will be useful for years to come but in about 10 years time they will be completely replaced by Hydrogen and rightly so. I digress anyway, it helps a company 'look green' that is all and yes I would like to try a tesla (think even the most stubborn gas monkeys would too) but only as a 2nd car and like you say the price wouldnt allow it for anyone but the elite.
Saying they are PR cars may be true to some situations but if the present generation do nothing more than get people to look at their actual needs and alter their thinking then that's a positive. If we have a hydrogen future the present EV will play a big part as the Hydrogen fuel cell will still be driving an electric platform with batteries. Todays EVs will evolve a bit like early computers morphing into smartphones or wearable technology they still use the basics but are otherwise unrecognisable in performance.
Everything in this world evolves and finally after 116 yrs we are witnessing a change in our mode of transport which I embrace and consider myself lucky to see and experience.
If its not for you fair enough but for those Trashing early tech just because they do not embrace change it could delay/halt development and we stagnate.
Oh I agree with regards the drive train, even said so much above this comment. But the batteries will not be as a bigger worry as what they are now. Yes the battery tech may migrate to other sectors, phones, alarm etc but as the car would be capable of refuelling 'conventionally' so to speak the packs need only be a fraction of what they are now thus rendering a lot of what is happening now pointless in automotion at least and firms like BMW, Nissan, Toyota should be focusing much more on hydrogen than battery power.
I am fully fledged geek, the world of new tech is something I embrace, jump on and mount like there is no tomorrow! but EV's are neither new or innovative. I believe it was the 60/70's when the first EV's were actually produced?!
What if battery tech evolves to provide adequate range and quick recharge? Would hydrogen still be attractive with having to crack it , store it and via fuel cell turn it into electrons?
We can never say how things will evolve so don't be hasty in condemning the present early versions. Electrics were around at the dawn of motoring but were displaced by Fords model T flooding the market, and a virtually non-existent electricity network.
I predict they will set new trends with this weird style. Look at how the Nissan Juke has sold.
Yes it would. Hydrogen fuel cells have many more uses than just an EV. For example a fuel cell can be used to run a camp site if you set up, or a caravan or even a home in the event of power cuts something an EV couldn't do (well it could but you wouldn't be able to drive away after). They could assist when bringing aid to war and famine torn countries as they are incredibly portable again something a plug in car could never do.
There was a good reason they were replaced too, they just cant do the job and for the all rounder most people need they are still a long long way off, in fact very little progress has been made when you think about it.
Shame they don't make one that's similar in size and performance to the Ampera - I'm sure that would make more sense and attract more buyers.
Why is the i3 an UGLY car?
Well, the different coloured body panels don't help things for a start. They are reminiscent of a car belonging to an owner that doesn't really care what the car looks like, as long as it functions ok. Any door from the scrappy will do.
The front bumper looks awful. Overly fussy around the fog? lights and its "styling" gives the appearance of the car having two different fronts vying for the same space.
The worst part though, is the window-door-line.
A straight line from the door-mirror to boot would have been better. If curves are to be used, perhaps 3 at the most. Not are frigging step as though the ruler slipped and someones thumb got in the way. Its overly fussy for no reason; a bit like a scribble.
Nothing like it, looks like a fiat ugly nose wotsit???
Having seen one in the flesh the other day it didn't look as ugly as the one at the top of this article -- probably because it was mostly black. It did still have those baby-blue nostrils though, and they did look odd under the BMW badge. I suppose its styling is 'frivolous' done by serious designers who would puzzle over the meaning of the word.

One of the benefits of saturating the American people with scandal is that folks eventually stop paying attention. That's certainly the case with Plamegate, which is still being investigated despite the president's best efforts to the contrary and a public that has generally moved on.
George W. Bush, at the urging of his attorney general, has claimed executive privilege over documents that could reveal the extent to which Dick Cheney was involved in the outing of the CIA agent.
AP via Google:
President Bush has asserted executive privilege to prevent Attorney General Michael Mukasey from having to comply with a House panel subpoena for material on the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
A House committee chairman, meanwhile, held off on a contempt citation of Mukasey—who had requested the privilege claim—but only as a courtesy to lawmakers not present.
Among the documents sought by House Oversight Chairman Henry Waxman are FBI interviews of Vice President Dick Cheney.
