Awwwww… Jim Lee finished the most recent issue of Justice League #5 just before his new child was born, and while his wife Carla was rather heavily pregnant. He’s written that the new arrival held out until he’d finished his deadline, which was appreciated by all, I’m sure. But what tribute could Jim Lee make…
We know from the publicity that DC Vertigo are publishing graphic novel adaptaions of the Millenium Trilogy, with Denise Mina and Leonardo Manco adapting the first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo into two parts. And in April they’ll be publishing a free teaser of the first graphic novel. But Bleeding Cool (alone it…
Recently, Bleeding Cool ran an article on how Marvel were looking to get certain creators out of their exclusive deals with Marvel, in an attempt to save money. And how Ariel Olivetti may have been a good example, locked into a two year excluisve deal with Marvel but suddenly appearing on the rejigged Men Of…
Toy News International ran these scans of images of DC toys and statues for 2012. But did they miss the headline story? Or is it a case of one side of DC not knowing what the other is doing? Because in May 2012, as part of the New 52 Cover Girls Of The DC Universe,…
From Sucker Punch footage… And from Andy Diggle and Leinil Yu’s Silent Dragon… In Swipe File we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you are…
“It used to be that the comics industry would say blacks didn’t read comics. False! Then they would say a black character cannot be profitable. False! Then they’d claim that a black products created by blacks cannot be profitable. False! They even claim there is no black age of comics. False!” -Turtel Onli, The Black…
How curious. Peter Berg has cast Rihanna in his sci-fi adaptation of the Battleship boardgame. She joins the previously announced Alexander Skarsgaard, Taylor Kitsch and boatloads – literally – of alien invaders. Variety note that the current script revisions are by Brian Koppellman and David Levien, writers of Rounders, Ocean’s 12 and The Girlfriend Experience,…
This comes from the screen at Comic-Con. I neither recorded the video nor took the screen capture. Instead, I simply saw it at Ace Showbiz and decided Why The Heck Not. So here he is, The First Avenger having a bit of a costume test. Chris Evans has stressed in interviews that the outfit evolves…
G4 have today issued a press release announcing a whole slate of Warren Ellis-shepherded animations that will air on their channel from next year. I’ll cut and paste the details below but first, the trailer for one of them, an Iron Man series with animation by Madhouse Studios. So here we go: Overseen by Ellis….
Nick Cave has taken on the task of rewriting Stephen Norrington’s screenplay for a remake of The Crow, the Alex Proyas and Brandon Lee adaptation of James O’Barr’s undead avenger comic book. I hope this is a page-one rewrite because the idea of Cave polishing something by another writer… somehow sits oddly with me. I…
A little ahead of schedule, the Sucker Punch teaser that was premiered at Comic-Con has rocked up on the Apple Trailers website. Here’s a YouTube version: There’s a little section near the start where several shots last only a few frames each. I’ve captured them for you, and here they are below – followed by…
Did you know there were only seven actors in The Goonies? Me either, but that’s what this press release says. Look: Cast commentary with Director and all seven actors The Making of the Goonies documentary Cyndi Lauper music video “The Goonies ‘R Good Enough” Outtakes Includes new board game, original movie storyboard reproductions, 1985 souvenir…
Animator Victor Ens has posted videos of some of his fine, fine work on Sylvain Chomet’s The Illusionist. These pretty much speak for themselves. Gorgeous. And here’s some of his “workings out”, from his blog:
Zach Braff may have his hands full re-writing and directing and wrangling wild thing Cameron Diaz in Swingles this autumn (or winter), but just like you and the good folks at Timeout NY, we here at Bleeding Cool want to know about his next masterpi… erm, film. Sadly, Mr Braff likes to keep his cards…
This poster should need no introduction, but there’s a spoiler-studded one at Wikipedia anyway. That’s your new Spider-Man there, on the left. Never Let Me Go will be Mark Romanek’s first feature film since One Hour Photo. If that’s not enough to have sold you a ticket already, here’s the beautiful trailer that was launched…
We’ve just learned from Anne over at Thompson on Hollywood that Julie Taymor’s latest film, a version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, has been tapped to close the 67th outing of the Venice Film Festival. Check out these pics. Taymor sure has an eye. We are mightily impressed by Dame Helen who’s rocking the suit big…
Below you’ll see a photo of a poster, hanging on a bus shelter. It was taken by Little Bleeder Ian, who wondered: I don’t know if this is genuine viral marketing or just a bunch of students. You can see a #believeinsherlock hashtag on the bottom right hand corner. I went to Twitter and searched…
The above is a commission by Frank Miller, recreating the splash page from The Dark Knight, below, for one Felix Lu. Such a detailed commission from Miller, it would be quite a rarity these days and rather expensive. Albeit not quite as expensive as buying the original art, recently selling for almost half a million…
Here’s an orderly and dependable plot blurb for The Amazing Spider-Man, as issued by Sony and piling up across the net (and in my inbox) like wildfire right now. There may not be any bombshells in here, but the strands come together pretty clearly. You know – like a web. The Amazing Spider-Man is the…
The last time I remember reading a Legend Of Zelda comic was back in the nineties, from Valiant Comics before they decided to move into superheroes. There’s were also a few manga books tied into specific game releases but no US licenced comics for quite some time. This could change if Joe Madueira gets his…
He’s done gangbusters for DC Comics, taking C-list character Animal Man, whose return to the DC Universe from DC Vertigo had been lacklustre at best, and turned him into a surprise critical and commercial hit as part of the DC New 52. So it’s only natural that DC might tap him for any other bright…
I would assume that the success of The Lord of the Rings and the huge interest in The Hobbit, not to mention the extraordinary, eight-film success of the Harry Potter series, would encourage Warner Bros. to look seriously into all of their similar options, but the studio has not to move ahead with a long-developing…
