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…

Exciting Updates For Terminator 5, But Will Schwarzenegger Make Cry Macho First?
Arnold Schwarzenegger is now formally attached to the next Terminator film, and so is director Justin Lin. Everything is lining up nicely for the project, partly due to Lin’s Fast and Furious 5 raking in a whole lot of dollars at the global box office. I really can’t imagine the producers of Terminator 5 will…
Crossing Boarders #6 by Andrew Goletz – Quality Where It Counts
Now, where were we? THEN Thanks to some helpful advice from folks in the industry who have much more experience than I do I had decided to go with a more professional comic book printer and make our first ever comic book effort look like it belonged on the rack with any other major title….
First Trailer For Dead Inside From Pearry Teo
Pearry Reginald Teo is a bonafide cult director, working way outside of the normal spotlight. His films are genre pieces, generally very stylised, and sometimes a little bit shocking. Perhaps the best way to introduce him is with his 2010 showreel. To my eye, he mixes the generic and the personal, sometimes in surprising ways,…
My So-Called Weekend
In half an hour I’m off into the centre of London to appear on BBC Radio Five Live talking about the Royal Wedding (about half five I think). Then I’m back again on Sunday to appear on a panel at 2pm at the BFI Southbank for the London Sci-Fi festival talking about comics, TV and…
Inside Job’s Charles Ferguson To Direct One Of The Julian Assange Films
Of the many Julian Assange and Wikileaks pictures in development, one is being cooked up as a BBC/HBO co-production. The source for this particular film will be a New Yorker article from last summer, Raffi Khatchadourian‘s No Secrets, which you can read in full on their website. The focus of No Secrets is Project B, the…
Full Production Notes For Conan Cut Through The Secrecy
There’s still a lot we don’t know about the new Conan movie. Or, there was, until the press notes squeaked out in a quiet corner of Lionsgate’s website. Every question you might have had about the film is answered there. Except for “Is it any good?”, which will go unanswered for a few months yet….
It’s Good To Have The Immonens As Penpals
This is the postcard that Stuart and Kathyrn Immonen sent to Shlomo Silverberg, a schoolkid who took part in this mail art school activity, sending art as postcards to professional artists, to see what you get back. I think Shlomo kinda scored, don;t you? This is the postcard he sent.
Sean Pertwee Tells Us Five Things About His New Art Gallery
Ben Mortimer writes for Bleeding Cool: Given how busy the man is, appearing in about four or five films every year, it’s a wonder Bleeding Cool hasn’t caught up with Sean Pertwee before. And yet, surprisingly he’s managed to avoid us. Until now. Back in February Pertwee made a somewhat unusual career move for a…
First Trailer For New War Of The Worlds Showcases Stop Motion FX
There’s yet another War of the Worlds coming, and I’m not talking about the secret reason the illuminati just pulled the plug on SETI. This is one more adaptation of HG Wells’ seminal science fiction classic. Amongst the producers on this new production is Stephen Chiodo, stop motion legend and co-director of Killer Klowns From…
Wizard World Announces Los Angeles Comic Con
As Wizard World Anaheim Comic kicks off today (anyone cosplaying as Will and Kate?), the convention norganiser has also announced that in September 24th and 25th they’ll be launching the Los Angeles Comic Con at the Los Angeles Convention Center. And they’re already announcing Michael Deodato Jr as a guest – no news if he’s…
First Trailer For Takashi Miike’s Hara-Kiri
In competition at this years Cannes, and in 3D too, is Takashi Miike‘s do-over of Hara-Kiri,* based upon a 1962 picture by Masaki Kobayashi. The film’s official site has been updated with a brief, but compelling, teaser trailer. This embed comes courtest of Nippon Cinema. It looks, for better or worse, much as you’d expect…
Geek Girl On The Street Reports: Which Direction Will Pan Am Fly?
Candice Dayoan writes for Bleeding Cool; A few months ago, ABC announced that it picked up the pilot for Pan Am, a Mad Men-style television show about the iconic Pan Am Stewardesses of the 60’s. Last month, pictures of the show’s star Christina Ricci with a 60s makeover surfaced, confirming that the project is moving…

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…
