“Mythbusters” and “White Rabbit Project” alums Tory Belleci and Kari Byron have paid tribute to their former colleague Grant Imahara, who died unexpectedly on July 13. Read their tributes below.
Tory Belleci
I met Grant Imahara back in 1997 when I stepped through the doors of the Ilm model shop. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. Then this young kid, at least that’s what I thought, with a bounce in his step, wearing thick glasses and a lab coat walked up, smiled and in a chipper voice said,”Hello!” and I immediately felt at ease. That was Grant, always welcoming, always helpful and always ready to solve a problem. We worked on a lot of projects at Lucas Films, but building models for Star Wars in our minds was the Holy Grail. We had made it. We’d achieved our lifelong geek dream. Little did we know that...

Discovery has lined-up two days of “Mythbusters” episodes to air across two networks in tribute to host Grant Imahara, who died earlier this week of a brain aneurysm at the age of 49.
Imahara was part of the “Mythbusters” team for nearly 10 years, working alongside lead hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman and his Build Team cohorts Kari Byron and Tori Belleci. They put popular myths to the test using science and engineering. The episodes airing on Discovery and Science Channel this Friday and Saturday will feature some of Imahara’s favorite “Mythbusters” moments, the network said.
Discovery will also re-air Imahara’s turn as host of “Killer Robots: Robo Games 2011,” which documented the International Robogames Competition, as well as an episode of his Netflix series “White Rabbit Project,” which he co-hosted with Byron and Belleci.

MythBusters star Grant Imahara unexpectedly died on Monday, with sources indicating that he suffered a sudden brain aneurysm while at home. The news understandably shocked and dismayed fans of his work, which goes way beyond what we saw on Mythbusters. In addition to his work there (and on related show White Rabbit Project), he was a trained engineer and roboticist, working for Ilm on animatronics for major movies, with his projects featuring in The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (where he was responsible for R2-D2).
But despite being a key part of some of the biggest movies of all time, it was his work on the Discovery Channel hit MythBusters for which he came to be known to the public at large. Imahara debuted in the third season and remained a part...

Labor has attacked the federal government for five and a half years of inaction over screen sector reforms while the Australian Greens have advocated a suite of measures to support the industry.
The Greens urged the government to impose a local content quota of at least 10 per cent on streaming services, harmonise the Producer Offset at 40 per cent and raise the Location Offset to 30 per cent.
The removal of the 65-hour cap for the Producer Offset, closing the New Zealand content ‘loophole,’ maintaining the existing content quota system and establishing terms of trade between broadcasters and producers were among the Greens’ proposals – all policies advocated by Screen Producers Australia.
Labor Senators accused the government of failing to articulate an agenda or vision for the Australian screen and music sectors and of cutting funding for public broadcasting by about $500 million.

2016-12-01T11:14:28-08:00'Mythbusters' Team Returns in 'White Rabbit Project'
The decision to get rid of some of the most beloved members of the Mythbusters cast during the series' final season arguably sealed the fate of the struggling show. Fans who haven't yet forgiven the series for that move are getting some measure of relief with the release this month of White Rabbit Project on Netflix. The series reunites Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara, and they'll be doing a lot of the same things they used to do on Mythbusters.
In White Rabbit Project, the trio will participate in segments that use experiments, tests, and construction projects to illustrate topics such as prison breaks, weaponry, and sensational crimes. Those topics will sound familiar to Mythbusters fans, since they're the kinds of topics that the trio investigated on that show, too.

1. “Trollhunters” Season 1 (available December 23)
Why Should I Watch It? Two big reasons: First, the director of “Pan’s Labyrinth,” Guillermo del Toro, created “Trollhunters,” an animated event series about a teenager who discovers a mystical amulet that unveils a secret civilization of trolls beneath his hometown. If the Oscar nominee himself isn’t enough, there’s another creative force — in addition to the impressive voice cast of Kelsey Grammer, Ron Perlman and Charlie Saxton — to pay attention to: Said teenager is voiced by Anton Yelchin, in what’s being billed his final role. After debuting two episodes at New York Comic-Con in October, del Toro said he never even discussed replacing Yelchin. “We didn’t go into a meeting,” del Toro said. “We didn’t have a conference. […] He was a great guy to work with, he was proud of what he did, we were proud of what he did.

No disrespect to Kari Byron, Tory Belleci, and Grant Imahara with my title, I just couldn't think of a way to say, "Adam and Jamie aren't in this," in the title! While their role was less substantial than the main hosts in Mythbusters, it looks like they have what it takes to take the lead in their new Netflix exclusive series! White Rabbit Project looks to be Mythbusters 2.0 with crazier experiments, better camera quality, and possibly a bigger budget?
The trailer does a really good job at making you think this is more of the same, while also looking better than the original series! Watch it below and binge the whole series on Netflix December 9th!
