John Rozum recently talked about his problems as writer of Static Shock, citing that he was hardly writing the book, the actual work being split between artist Scott McDaniel and editor Harvey Richards, which is why he chose to walk off the book with issue 4, not wanting his name to be associated with work…
The Darkness #100 is on its way… And this is the first you’ll have seen of the Todd McFarlane (above), the Michael Golden (below) and the Marc Silvestri retailer incentive (further below). 48 pages for $4.99 US, it’s out the last day of February. But since the Darkness II game comes out today, it seems…
It was the recent ICV2 interview with Marvel Senior Vice President-Sales David Gabriel that did it. Answering a questionnaire with no followups, he managed to dodge some questions by answering different ones, and throw some googlies at the opposing team. But he’s hardly alone in this, DC’s Executive VP-Sales, Marketing and Business Development John Rood…
Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…
If you never got to ride the original Disneyland Star Wars attraction, Star Tours before it was ripped out and replaced, this is probably as good a simulation as you’ll be seeing any time soon. Because you’ll be taking the ride at home, everything has been recreated in CG, and not just the on-screen action….
The forever prolific and recently creatively reinvigorated Takashi Miike is being sought to direct House of the Damned 3D, a Louisiana-set horror film with what sounds like a “body count” set-up. Here’s the plot blurb: Five friends band together to save the historic part of their town and inadvertently become targets of a serial killer…
Pretty much as premiered last night at Sony’s The Untold Story special events, here’s the first full trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. This time there’s Lizard, there’s more back story and there’s a good sense of the “new” Peter Parker. I say “pretty much” because those of usat the events got to see it in…
You have to give Lucasfilm credit, there’s no shying away from the controversial, fanbaiting elements of The Phantom Menace in this new trailer for the 3D version.
Phil McNally is the head honcho of Dreamworks’ stereoscopic works, bringing his knowledge, passion and intelligence to bear on their 3D works. He’s a real flag waver for the notion of stereo filmmaking, but he’s also very balanced and well reasoned in his discussions of the format. He’s one of my movie maker heroes. You…
In order to win a pair of tickets, read and follow these instructions: To celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D which arrives in cinemas February 9th, we are giving away two pairs of tickets to an exclusive advance screening on Wednesday the 8th February. The screening will take place…
You may recall the Mexican Top Cat movie that I wrote about a few times last year. I’ve been waiting to see if a DVD with English subtitles would miraculously appear so that I might import a copy, but it seems like I can stop the hunt and relax. Vertigo Films have snapped up Top…
I’ve heard a lot of misinformed claptrap spouted about 3D films, but this takes the biscuit. Nick Nolte has, for no good reason I can discern, been asked about 3D, and has shared his belief that it is dangerous, both physically and psychologically. Yes, Nick Nolte. The actor. Here are the quotes from WENN, as…
Below, a video from last night’s screening of Hugo at the Regal in Union Square, New York. There’s an awful lot of laughter on the soundtrack… at first. But first, some context from the clip’s uploader: Dear Mr Scorcese [sic].This is what they did to your movie last night. This is how a couple of…
This week I found myself at a screening of some footage from the forthcoming re-release of Titanic in 3D, along with a Q&A with producer Jon Landau. Titanic is just one of ‘those’ films – nearly everyone has seen it and nearly everyone has cried at it at least once, even if they won’t admit…
Last night, I ran an amusing Finding Nemo video in Rushes, a promo for the upcoming 3D re-release that aired on Ellen. Seeing as there’s a new, official trailer for the film, I thought I’d run them both together for you. Because a 2D trailer for a 3D re-release of an old film just isn’t…
It’s time for Peter Jackson and his Hobbit crew to hit the road for some location shooting. This latest production vlog reveals just how big an operation this will entail, and how many resources are required to take movies of this scale into the field. You’ll also get a look at the new and improved…
We’ve finally been given a look at Loki’s forces in the new, extended trailer for The Avengers, as premiered online just after a cut-down version graced the Superbowl. Here are four screen grabs from the single shot in which they appear with any degree of clarity: So it’s not the Skrull or the Kree –…
Here’s the new TV spot for The Avengers as premiered during the Superbowl – just, longer now. And that’s a good thing. For those of you who watched the Superbowl just to see this commercial, tell me: was it worth it?
In yesterday’s webchat (referred to earlier), Alan Moore revealed that the next League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen project to follow the conclusion of Century this summer, is to be called Nemo: Heart Of Ice, and that forty of the forty-eight pages involved have been written so far… and that we’ll see it before the end of…
(Welcome Facebook people… please tell us who has linked to us, because we’re gettng massive traffc and we’d like to say thanks. And you can see more Bleeding Cool Doctor Who coverage here.) The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will tomorrow be playing The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, described in their schedule as: A musical celebration with…
Is it Spider-Man? Or has Iron Man just got a fancy new paint job? This is the costume he’ll be wearing in the upcoming Ends Of The Earth storyline, as the machinations of Doctor Octopus and the Sinister Six are made clear. There’s webbing design on the lining as well.
When reporting early rumours about Before Watchmen, almost every name I was given turned out to be true – Darwyn Cooke, Brian Azzarello, JMS, Amanda Conner, JG Jones, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Adam Hughes and John Higgins. There was another name that I dismissed as it was denied directly – that of Kevin Smith. His…
