What if you changed just one letter in a movie’s title? Get Smart becomes Bet Smart and you’ve got a very different movie. That was the challenge posted recently to members of Worth1000.com, a talented community of 500,000 digital artists that participate in amazing daily contests. Another recent challenge was Villain Swap. The contests are meant to test the artist’s creativity and skills using graphics software such as PhotoShop and Aviary (Aviary just so happens to sponsor the website).

I thought Suvudu readers might get a kick out of these. Jump to see more of my favorites and links for all the entries from both contests.

Andy Serkis, the actor responsible for bringing the creature Gollum to life in the Peter Jackson directed Lord of the Rings films, will of course be doing so again in the forthcoming movie adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Since catapulting to stardom, Serkis has had a great deal of success, with many roles in movies including King Kong, 13 Going on 30 and The Prestige.

Today, Yahoo UK posted a short article about Serkis and what it means to him to reprise the role that gave nerds free rein all over the world to speak in a weird, creepy voice—undoubtedly driving their loved ones crazy. Serkis has always been accessible, something I admire, and I hope he continues delivering these kinds of interviews as Guillermo del Toro really begins shooting The Hobbit to bring us all back to Middle Earth!

I simply can’t wait for The Hobbit! A movie like The Hobbit will increase the recession I’m feeling in my billfold! I bet there are a few others out there who will admit the same…

And Andy Serkis will be a big reason for that!
