Apple’s Hit Drama 'Silo' to Make San Diego Comic-Con Debut

Apple TV+ announced that “Silo,” its globally acclaimed and hit world-building drama based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy, will make its San Diego Comic-Con debut on Saturday July 27, 2024 for a panel and conversation around what fans can look forward to in the highly anticipated second season of “Silo” featuring star and executive producer Rebecca Ferguson, star Common, creator and showrunner Graham Yost and executive producer Hugh Howey, plus surprise special guests. The panel will be moderated by Adam Savage (Editor-in-Chief, Tested.com). 

“Silo” is the story of the last ten thousand people on earth, their mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic and deadly world outside. However, no one knows when or why the silo was built and any who try to find out face fatal consequences. Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer, who seeks answers about a loved one's murder and tumbles onto a mystery that goes far deeper than she could have ever imagined, leading her to discover that if the lies don't kill you, the truth will. 

Fans can catch up on the first season, now streaming globally on Apple TV+.

Following its global premiere in May 2023, “Silo” was quickly hailed as a “riveting and equally star-studded,” “must-watch” series and “simply transcendent sci-fi TV.” In addition to quickly reaching Certified Fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes, season one landed acclaim for its "rich and compelling” world-building elements, as well as the “incredible” performance by Ferguson, who “brings an understated gravitas” to the lead role.

Silo” is produced for Apple TV+ by Apple Studios based on the novels by Hugh Howey. The series is executive produced by Yost, Michael Dinner, Nina Jack, Joanna Thapa, Ferguson, Academy Award nominee Morten Tyldum (“Defending Jacob,” “The Imitation Game”), Howey, Fred Golan, Rémi Aubuchon, and AMC Studios.

Master Replica's The Matrix The Nebuchadnezzar Die-Cast


To celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Matrix, Master Replicas are releasing an incredibly detailed, 11.8” long, die-cast model of Morpheus’s ship The Nebuchadnezzar. When The Matrix was released in 1999, the Wachowskis changed cinema forever. Sci-fi had never been cooler. The original movie played with huge ideas as Morpheus and his allies freed Neo from his mundane reality and introduced him to the truth: a world where the machines have subjugated humanity. 

The Nebuchadnezzar, which was designed by concept artist George Hull, was at the heart of the story. The Neb was a rusting hovercraft that used EM pulses to protect itself from the machines, as Morpheus and his crew managed to stay one step ahead of the robotic Sentinels. 

This impressive die-cast model has been digitally sculpted before being cast in zinc alloy and ABS, and painted by hand. It has been officially licensed by Warner Bros. and is a true collector’s item.
