Well I must have done something right. Cryptozoic sent me the Locke & Key card game today. And I opened it. And filmed myself doing it too. Welcome to the new Locke & Key unboxing event…
Why The Hell Isn’t There A My Little Pony Comic Book?
Aaron and Mike of A Comic Show want to help fix what’s wrong with the comics industry, they swear they’ll start a regular bombastic op/ed column here on Bleeding Cool. But first, they feel they must follow their hearts (hooves), and use their connections to get a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic made!…
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…
The First Page Of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Revealed At Angoulême
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…

Norwegian Actress Cast As “Hardcore Killing Machine” In Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool: Keeping up with movie news is a constant uphill battle, especially if you run a movie news website like this one. Every day, you’re scouring the Internet and trying to find something newsworthy to write about. If it’s a scoop, even better. Sometimes sources providing that scoop can be…

Dwayne McDuffie was intending to appear at the launch of the Reggiesworld.com website tonight from Reginald Hudlin at the Golden Apple comic store in LA, alongside McDuffie’s creative partner Denys Cowan, Mike Benson, Adam Glass, Ziggy Marley, Rashida Jones and more. The event is still going ahead from 6pm PT, but at 8pm they will…
So Where Did MMXI Come From Anyway?
Okay, so the big new X-Men event thing (not to be confused with the current X-Men Age Of X thing) is to be MMXI – Year Of The X-Men, It may well be this that leads into these Cyclops’ X-Men and Wolverine’s X-Men rumours I’d been hearing. But why use the Latin? Well, to quote…
First Image Of Ben Affleck And Rachel McAdams In Terrence Malick’s Untitled Romance
This isn’t what Terrence Malick is supposed to do – having one film deep into production before the previous one has even been released. He’s supposed to sit at the back of a deep, dark archive someplace, ruminating carefully on what his next picture might be. For years. Or maybe that’s some other guy with…
Steve Carell Returning To Drama In Dogs Of Babel
Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool: Steve Carell is an everyman and not one time have I met somebody who didn’t like him. He’s a person who can make you laugh one minute and shed a tear the next, as evidenced by his roles in Little Miss Sunshine, Dan in Real Life, The 40 Year…
Second Source Code Trailer Gets Its Polygons On
Still looking, good, I think. This second trailer for Duncan Jones’ Source Code is shorter than the first, and takes a slightly different tack in trying to relate a relatively complex plot premise. It also gives away some of the more showy FX stuff. That’s a great cast. Trailer via Moviefone.
Oscar The Grouch Predicts The Oscars
I love this guy, even though his voice seems to have “broken” since the last time I saw him and he’s not quite as grouchy as I recalled. Guy Lodge and Kris Tapley, eat your hearts out. The image at the head of this post is available as a T-shirt. I want one.
Preview: Moriarty #1 by Daniel Corey and Anthony Diecidue
Moriarty is a new ongoing title from Image Comics, by Daniel Corey and Anthony Diecidue, to be published in May. Now that Sherlock Holmes is in public domain, he can basically be stripmind for all he’s worth, and so we get a Moriarty series, to accompany Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood’s Baker Street Irregular comics….
Robert Downey Jr.’s Stunt Double, Glenn Foster, On Due Date And The Avengers
As Due Date approaches it’s UK release on DVD and Blu-ray, I was put in touch with Glenn Foster, Robert Downey Jr.’s regular stunt double. We talked about stunt work and doubling Robert in general, about the requirements for Due Date, and also about The Avengers, Glenn’s next project. Here, then, are Five Things that…
Twenty-Five Years Of Zelda In One Image
I do like Zelda. One of the reasons I’m planning on picking up the Nintendo 3DS is to play Ocarina Of Time in three dimensions. But I was a late starter, I came to the franchise with the N64 and have been playing since. It is my favourite game of all time, and I have…
Wednesday Comics Review: Turf 4 And Crossed: Psychopath 1
Turf has certainly been a long time coming. Onto issue 4, from Jonathan Ross and Tommy Lee Edwards, this will at least give CLiNT something to run in their next issue. We start with a song, juxtaposed with scenes of sex and death, we end with an attempt to turn the tide on the events…

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…
