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…

VIDEO: Jason Winer Talks To Bleeding Cool About Arthur
Yet another whistlestop junket interview, this time catching ahold of Arthur‘s director Jason Winer for a few short minutes. This is his feature debut, after some years of work in TV, including the lauded Modern Family. You’ll pretty quickly realise that he’s also an actor. He has that certain ease and bounciness. I did ask…
Good Friday Runaround – Royals And Royalties
EmploymentWatch: Bobbie Chase talks about joining DC Comics. Respectfully, etc etc. KirbyWatch: Mark Buckingham and Steve Leialoha work up a familiar looking splash page for the third superhero chapter of Fables. ExhibitWatch: An exhibition of the French comics adaptation of Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck, is on display at the National Steinbeck Center…
VIDEO: Greta Gerwig Speaks To Bleeding Cool
Greta Gerwig is the female romantic lead in Arthur. I sat down with her this week, for an astonishingly brief period of time, to talk about the film, and how it fits into her catalogue of work. Arthur is out today in the UK, and has been playing in the US for a couple of…
Red Band Trailer For Pizza Delivery Boys Vs. Bank Robbers Comedy, 30 Minutes Or Less
Ruben Fleischer’s follow up to Zombieland is 30 Minutes or Less, a comedy crime film with Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari. It might also have a cameo from Taylor Lautner in it.* None of this is really making me desperate to see it. Thankfully, this Red Band trailer holds together well, shows Eisenberg…
Thursday Trending Topics: Rake At The Gates Of The DCU
He’s conned his way out of a deal with the devil, but nothing could keep him out of the DCU forever, it would seem. And speaking of last second reprieves, I’ve got to cut this short and hasten back to work on this week’s FreakAngels before I have to do some fast talking of my…
Tom Cruise Teaming With The Brilliant Dan Fogelman
The latest pitch by superb screenwriter Dan Fogelman has just been sold to Warner Bros. for a seven figure sum. The film, which has yet to even have its screenplay completed, will tell the story of a disgraced politician, down on his uppers and headed home to try and sort his life out. It sounds…
A New Green Lantern Trailer Focuses On The Space Stuff, Tomar-Re Talks
Here comes the first Green Lantern footage to feature a talking Tomar-Re.* This new Green Lantern trailer (an extended TV spot?) throws the spotlight onto the cosmic side of the story quite surely, and has me wondering just how much of the film will be set on Earth, and how much of it was filmed…
UPDATED: Jeremy Renner To Star In New Bourne Film
So, forget everything I originally posted (actually, it’s still at the bottom of this story, if you want to read it) and tune in to the new truth. Universal are wrapping up a contract for Jeremy Renner to star in Tony Gilroy‘s The Bourne Legacy as the new lead spy. According to the prior report –…
An Intriguing Description Of The Prometheus Aliens Appears
There’s no secrecy any more, I’m afraid. Everything gets spilled on the internet sooner or later, more often sooner. And how do I feel about this? I’m not entirely sure about the subtleties of the argument. But if I come across something that excites me, or makes me happy that I know it, or just…
John Constantine To Return To The DC Universe
I don’t know where. I don’t know when. I don’t know how. But I am reliably informed from a certain Brazilian in the know that John Constantine will be appearing as a major character in upcoming DC Universe titles, post Flashpoint. Created in the then-DC Universe title Swamp Thing, by John Totleben, Steve Bissette and…
Artists! The American Library Association Wants You!
The American Library Association, the world’s largest library conference, is doing something new for their national conference from June 24th to the 27th in New Orleans. They’re hosting an Artists Alley. Usually reserved for the comic convention, this involves a series of tables, each with an artist showing their work, sketching, signing, talking, networking, taking…
At Last! The Trailer For The Almighty Thor
We were needlessly excitable whenever discussing this Marvel-leeching Mockbuster during its production – why stop now? So a drumroll please for our first look at The Almighty Thor, in hammer-clashing, uzi-toting action. “Loki!” should have been “Lokiiiiiiiiiii!”, but anyway. The film will premiere on the SyFy channel in the US on May 7, then make its way…

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…
