The upcoming Warner Premiere and DC Entertainment release of The Dark Knight Returns has been a long time coming, though I believe you heard about it here first. Frank Miller and Klaus Janson’s comic has been divided into two films for this adaptation, the first of which will be released later this year, the second…

Joseph Glass writes for Bleeding Cool; So, this Sunday just gone, a question was asked at Kapow Comic Con in London; a convention that aims to be as big as the US conventions, but over in sunny old Blighty (though I did notice the sun pretty much eluded us this year). It’s a good show,…
At Kapow in London, during the Avengers Vs X-Men panel with Kieron Gillen, CB Cebulski and Joe Quesada, they showed off some upcoming Avengers Vs X-Men pages… one of which seems to show a certain Professor X returning for issue 6… We also got a teaser that Illyana and Black Widow will star in an…

How I Ended This Summer director Alexei Popogrebsky is prepping his next feature, and he has ambitions to do something new and unusual with it, playing with the more dynamic and extreme possibilities of 3D.
According to news out of the EFM in Berlin, Lost Rooms will be about:
a girl who has an ability to see hidden depth where everyone else sees flatness.
To get some idea of Popogrebsky might do with that, you’ll want to see his short film Bloodrop.
This YouTube version can be watched in both 2D and, if you have the right kit, in 3D. There is an option to watch it with the coloured anaglyphic glasses, but that apparently hasn’t been optimised, so there will be a few glitches. With a new, modern 3D monitor or TV, however, it should look great.
It’s already quite captivating in 2D, certainly as these “optical illusion” pieces go.
Screen Daily are reporting tonight that Paul Bettany is negotiating to star in Lost Rooms, and “other prominent European and US names are expected to join the cast and crew.”
Well, we hear it all the time, even from filmmakers that support 3D, that stereography should be somehow interwoven into the narrative, not just used stylistically, as is permitted with colour, sound, camera movement or so on. It seems that 3D is at the very heart of Popogrebsky’s concept, so he should escape that particular critical bear trap.
If Popogrebsky he pulls off the kind of high-concept flash we see in Bloodrop, but wed to a feature film narrative, I bet he gets offered every tent pole and franchise sequel going.
Yesterday, Fox News decided to suggest that because DC have plans to reintroduce one of their iconic characters to the New 52 as a gay man, that meant that Superman might be gay. Today, the closest (and I originally mispelt that as “closet”) thing the UK has to Fox News, the Daily Mail does the…
What would you do if you met a visitor from another time? Michael Moran finds out when he sees a movie sequel that’s at least a decade overdue. Has time been kind to Earth’s shadowy guardians?
“One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June” That’s the comment DC’s Senior VP Publicity Courtney Simmons gave to ABC News from Burbank when asked for comment on the story we ran yesterday, that DC were to reintroduce a preexisting character into the New DCU,…
Thanks to Fox for this one. Honchos at Superman’s comic book home, DC Comics, said this weekend that one of their most identifiable (but as of yet unnamed) straight characters will soon be coming out of the closet, according to a report. No, and I was there. Dan DiDio, DC Comics co-publisher said that a…
It seems an age since C2E2. But an interview conducted by CBR with Dan Slott at the show has only just gone online. In which Slott stated that Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso has been contacting other creators on other Marvel books to ensure they reflect… whatever change is coming with Amazing Spider-Man #700 towards the…
