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,…

Thanks to Fox for this one.

“Where did Ian Fleming end and Bond begin?” This, says Duncan Jones, is the essential question fuelling his upcoming movie, a biography of James Bond’s creator Ian Fleming to be framed as “a period action film.” The basis for the film’s biographical detail will be Andrew Lycett’s boook Ian Fleming, The Man Behind James Bond….
One question asked at the DC panel today at the Kapow comic convention in London, was about DC co-publisher Dan DiDio’s interview with The Advocate. Specifically over the decision not to change any character’s sexual orientation when relaunching the DC Universe. At the time Dan stated they would introduce new LGBT characters rather than switch…
D.V DeVincentis co-write the screenplays for Lay the Favourite, High Fidelity and Grosse Point Blank – which I saw at a preview with Rich on the first ever National Cinema Day in the UK, and how we laughed (the first ever of… two maybe?) I’m quite the fan of those script, so I reckon it…

Warren Ellis has been talking plenty at Kapow, in London today. Lots of questions, lots of answers, lots of laughs, an unlit cigarette and a can or three of Red Bull.

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…
