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…
Phonogram: The Singles Club, the second volume of the series from Image, by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, has now hit digital. The first issue is free, downloadable on ComiXology, but we also took this opprtunity to make it available free on Bleeding Cool as well, below. Open publication – Free publishing – More bleedingcool…
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…
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…
It looks like the actual, real Prometheus trailer has leaked – as opposed to been bootlegged, which it was, a handful of times, in terrible quality. But now it looks good. I’m sure it will look even better when Apple open up their HD streams later. I’ll update when they do. UPDATE: They did. Now…
For the couple of minutes you spend watching the first trailer for The Hobbit, you might feel like a long, long wait is over… …shortly afterwards, you may remember that a long, long wait still lies ahead as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is almost a year away. And the second film in the series,…
The rules are a little confusing, and certainly aren’t explained, but Roger Ebert has drawn up a list of his 20 favourite films of the year, plus one special mention. I’ve not seen seven of these, am utterly perplexed by the inclusion of another, but – as always with these things – find it a…
We’re still two and a half months out from the release of John Carter, but the publicity materials are coming pretty thick and fast. In that spirit, I present not one new TV commercial for the film, but two. They run back to back in this player. I’m actually a little confused as to what…
This image is of on Sofia Boutella, a star of Streetdance 2, the sequel to Stretdance 3D – boy, those titles are really going to mess with the spreadsheets of anally retentive, order-sorting DVD collectors. Ahem. Here’s a sort of behind the scenes featurette on the film. There’s a lot of interesting things to say…
The first official poster for Timur Bekmambetov and Seth Grahame-Smith‘s Abraham Lincoln – Vampire Hunter uses lenticular tech to show two distinct images. This means, when you see it hanging in cinemas, you’ll see one of two images depending on which angle you look at it from. Here’s the first: Here’s the second: And here’s…
Watching this first teaser, you’ll maybe recognise more plot elements of Jack and the Beanstalk than of your actual Jack the Giant Killer folktale, but above all else, the film is looking like a modern adventure movie. And I think director Bryan Singer has more than shown his aptitude with those, so I’m looking forward…
Welcome to Masters of Cinema Monthly and Seasons Greetings! Masters of Cinema have recently posted their own Seasons Greetings message here with the image above of Hitchcock peeking out from behind a turkey. Most likely an image chosen simply because it’s a good one but it does actually tie into something I’ve been speculating about since Masters of…
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…
Just as DC Comics is turning the headlines purple with the news at Kapow that a previously established character would be rebooted as a gay person, so Marvel Comics announced they have their own headlines in mind. Tune into ABC at 11a/10a E/C tomorrow as the hosts of ABC’s The View exclusively reveal a major…
