The original film imagined Earth after the polar ice caps had melted and the sea level rose to such heights that the oceans became the surface of the planet.

Obviously this isn’t the first time a…

This morning, auction house PropStore announced the upcoming auction, which will see a portion of proceeds raised from the August-September event going directly to the…
