John Rozum recently talked about his problems as writer of Static Shock, citing that he was hardly writing the book, the actual work being split between artist Scott McDaniel and editor Harvey Richards, which is why he chose to walk off the book with issue 4, not wanting his name to be associated with work…
The Darkness #100 is on its way… And this is the first you’ll have seen of the Todd McFarlane (above), the Michael Golden (below) and the Marc Silvestri retailer incentive (further below). 48 pages for $4.99 US, it’s out the last day of February. But since the Darkness II game comes out today, it seems…
It was the recent ICV2 interview with Marvel Senior Vice President-Sales David Gabriel that did it. Answering a questionnaire with no followups, he managed to dodge some questions by answering different ones, and throw some googlies at the opposing team. But he’s hardly alone in this, DC’s Executive VP-Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood…
Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…

The shooting on David MacKenzie‘s musical festival rom-com In the Park was completed in just five days with almost all of it filmed in the midst of the actual T in the Park music festival as it went on in Glasgow this past weekend. Very impressive turn around.
Deadline and IMDB report that the rather superb Luke Treadaway is starring in the picture, but don’t offer any more details of the principal cast. Amazingly, though, Deadline have The Rev. Al Green down for an important little role:
[T]he lead singer of an indie Scottish band… finds himself handcuffed to the vocalist of a big US rock outfit. The Reverend Al Green handcuffs them together. Love and happiness indeed. At one point, they have to perform in each other’s sets live on stage. Of course they get together in the end.
Treadaway is apparently the “indie singer,” but he’s looking quite rock-ready in this image:
That comes from the film’s fairly under-the-radar production blog. There’s not a huge amount of plot information on there, but one scene will apparently see “some of our characters crash a live stage to make an appeal to the crowd, before being hustled away by security.” If you find any more, then let me know.
Don’t assume the woman you see above is the “vocalist of the big US rock outfit” even if the way they’re standing seems like handcuffs could be in play. Instead, the following two pictures identify our other lead.
She’s one of those tip-of-my-tongue faces (so to speak). I’ll update when I remember or am told her name.
UPDATE 1: And now I have been reminded. It’s Natalia Tena, actress, Harry Potter‘s Nymphadora Tonks and member of real-life “gypsy power-pop band with strong Soul and Ska influences,” Molotov Jukebox.
In the movie, it’s looking like she’s the leader in an all-girl-group called The Dirty Pinks.
I could go on posting pictures all day, but I won’t. Go check out some others yourself if you haven’t had enough yet.
The production also has a Twitter feed, though I’d imagine updates will slow down a little now filming has wrapped. All the same, hats off to Sigma Films for making fine use of social media technology.
Already I’ve got a better feeling about this than Le Donk, and most definitely more so than 9 Songs.
UPDATE 2: There’s now a music video preview of the film, which will show you Luke Treadaway performing with The Make, his band in the movie. You’ll also get to hear his American accent…
My lord, he’s convincing. Of course the last time I saw him play a member of a band, it was one of my favourite films of that year
We’ve finally been given a look at Loki’s forces in the new, extended trailer for The Avengers, as premiered online just after a cut-down version graced the Superbowl.

Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well. Related Posts:Spider-Man’s New Costume Gets…
When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
