Jim Lee’s Hidden Tribute To Carla
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…

Orson Welles’ Unfinished Final Film Is Again Headed Towards Completion
The legal shackles that have kept Orson Welles last movie off the silver screen, could be about to come undone. The Other Side of the Wind was, as became typical for Welles, constructed in a piecemeal fashion over several years. Shooting started in the late 60s, and then in 1976 Welles said that the film…
Are The Wachowskis Planning Two More Matrix Films? In 3D? Nope
My friend Martin has never seen the third Matrix film, but he did once ask if it was “more boring than the second one.” When I told him it was, he expressed extreme disbelief. Nothing, he said, could be more boring than The Matrix Reloaded unless the filmmakers were specifically trying.* I dedicate this story…
Daily Mail Wrong About Kick-Ass 2 (In Different Way To Kick-Ass 1)
I yesterday ran a report that quoted The Daily Mail, which is a dicey business at the best of times. Here’s what I said: In a fully unnecessary and narrow-minded article on the subject Jane Goldman’s home life in the Mail today there came the following two references to Kick-Ass 2: She has now written two…

New Blue Velvet Blu-Ray To Include Long Lost Deleted Scenes, New Sound Mix
Let’s start by agreeing that Blue Velvet is the best American film of the ’80s and we can get on with this.* David Lynch has revealed that long-lost scenes deleted from the final edit of Blue Velvet have, against the odds, turned up and will now be restored and included on an upcoming Blu-ray release…

New Sherlock Viral? Or Something Geekier?
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…
Frank Miller Redraws The Dark Knight
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…
The Amazing Spider-Man Is Tidied Up A Little By An Official Blurb
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…
Joe Madureira Wants To Draw A Zelda Comic Series
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…
The Robins – A New Comic From Jeff Lemire?
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…
Warner Bros. Nix ElfQuest Movie, Pin Blame On The Hobbit
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…
