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…

Tony Scott Going Under With Narco Sub
The thriller Narco Sub was written as a spec script by hot-and-trotting action specialist, David Guggenheim. It was snapped up by Fox over the Thanksgiving weekend, and they’ve already attached Tony Scott as director. Apparently producer Simon Kinberg specifically targeted Scott – which is flattering for him, and alarming for me. Variety say the film…
Miyazaki’s Next Film “Realistic” And Not A Relaxing Watch
Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki has decided his next film won’t be “the sort of work that everyone in the audience can relax and watch.” Quotes from Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki were published this weekend on the Japanese site Hollywood Channel, and translated by the Anime News Network. Rather interestingly, Suzuki said that Miyazaki had predicted…
Duncan Jones On The Connections Between Moon And Mute And… An Unnamed Third Film
A couple of weeks back, Duncan Jones and his producing partner Stuart Fenegan hosted two special screenings of Moon at The New Beverly in LA. On one night, Sam Rockwell joined them, and the video cameras were switched on. I’ve just watched a video of the whole Q&A with thanks to Man Made Movies, the…
Neil Jordan’s Vampire Film Gets Daniel Mays, Sam Riley, Irish Money And A Start Date
Shooting will start next week on Byzantium, Interview With The Vampire director Neil Jordan‘s return to the bloodsucker genre. The Irish Film Board have today announced that they’ll be providing the film with some funds, charging it up to shoot on location around Dublin and Wicklow. I’ve reported on the film before: Jane Eyre and…
VIDEO: A Clip From The Diary Of Anne Frankenstein
The horror comedy anthology Chillerama is a mixed bag – such is the nature of anthologies. The best installment, I think, is Adam Green’s remarkable The Diary of Anne Frankenstein. I’ve seen it four times now and have been more taken with it every time. In this clip you’ll see Adolf Hitler discover the diary…
New Quad And One Sheet For John Carter
Disney have released new quad and one sheet posters for John Carter, and they seem truer in spirit to the illustrations you’d find on the cover of such old pulp novels. I like these a great deal. If the improvement between the old trailer and Wednesday’s new trailer is as great as between old and…
Is Paul Tobin The Most Widely Read Superhero Writer Today?
He writes the Marvel Adventures books for Marvel, their no. 1 subscription titles, that get republished all across Europe and South America on newsstands. He wrote one of the Golden Grahams Justice League comics with a 3.5 million print run. He writes stacks of Marvel custom comics sold with toys, and for commercial promotions that…
Speculator Corner: Bottoming Out On The DCU New 52
When DC took the reins of the top slot on the sales charts for the first time in years due to the launch of the New 52, they also took over the back issue market, with sellouts across the board causing a massive rise in prices across the line. How are those prices holding up…
Allie Haze As Rogue, Evan Stone As Sabretooth And Tommy Gunn In X-Men XXX Porn Parodies
Next month, Vivid Video is set to film two new porn productions to follow up Batman XXX, Spider-Man XXX and Superman XXX… two new films in continuity with each other, X-Men XXX: A Porn Parody and Wolverine XXX: A Porn Parody. The studio has built a reputation in creating pitch perfect porn parodies that could…
Lying In The Gutters – 28th November 2011
A rather wonderful sketch by John Byrne. It’s been a week of sales, spoilers and swipe files, with some more Granito-like action to come later. But this is what Americans were reading while stuffing themselves, watching sports and arguing with everyone. We’re happy to have been an occasional release for some of you… Top Twenty…
First Clip From The New Absolutely Fabulous
This clip from one of the Christmas Absolutely Fabulouses (Fabulice?) is less than a minute long and includes both an iPad and a reference to Twitter. Do you think it will be like that all the way through? Thanks to a Little Bleeder with the codename of Bubbles for the heads up. I ran more…
Jonathan Demme To Make Enzo Avitabile Concert Film
Jonathan Demme heard a track by Neopolitan musician Enzo Avitabile on the radio and liked it so much, he arranged a meeting. The result, reports Variety, will be a documentary on the musician, probably called Enzo and containing performance footage. Here is Enzo’s Salvamm o’ Munn, which is probably his most popular track: Seeing as…

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…
