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…
Jens Altmann reports for Bleeding Cool: Question: Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way first: are you a comic book reader? Nicholas Hoult: I’ve read a couple of them before starting work on this (film). But since then I’ve read a lot, a little bit of X-Men and Avengers and things like that,…
Later on, we’ll bring you our full and candid chat with Greg Mottola about the making of his new film, Paul. In the meantime, here’s an excerpt of interest in which Mottola explains how Seth Rogen performed the role of Paul, and the quiet, unglamorous, but crucial role that Joe Lo Truglio also played in…
Starting this Thursday, January 20th, London’s Barbican Cinema will be presenting a “Directorspective”, focusing on the films of Andrei Konchalovsky. If you look at his resume and have only heard of Tango & Cash, then you’ve got him all wrong… In order to promote this program, Mr. Konchalovsky agreed to speak to me on the…
Since I joined Bleeding Cool in the summer of this year, we’ve been lucky enough to get a series of good, film-related interviews. Here are some of the best bits, with links back to the interviews in full. A few of these (Inception, Gulliver’s Travels, Love and Other Drugs) are from press conferences we attended,…
It’s just a couple of days until The Last Exorcism, one of my favourite films of the year, is released on UK DVD and Blu-ray and I’m looking forward to checking it out again on Blu. I’ve been lucky this week enough to have a good chat with the film’s producer, Eli Roth, and get…
This interview, not to put too fine a point on it, was one of the most satisfying I’ve ever taken part in, simply because Michael Apted is thoughtful, articulate and interesting. Here’s what I asked him about: The difficulty of visualising fantastical things from novels of this kind. The modern visual language of the set-pieces…
In order to promote the DVD and Blu-ray release of The A-Team in the UK this week, I got to sit down with Sharlto Copley and have a chat about that film, and his other projects. In the video below I ask about: What shape The A-Team was in when he came on board What…
Marc Guggenheim has a credit list that many envy. For TV he’s written for The Practice, Law & Order, CSI: Miami and Brothers & Sisters. He co-created Eli Stone and is currently the producer and writer for ABC’s No Ordinary Family. But twenty years ago, he was a Marvel intern. His comics writing credits since…
Beginning a series of semi-regular chats with Image publisher Eric Stephenson. You got a question, email it in or add it to the comments… Rich: A number of people criticised me for being terribly harsh on you last time, for being an Image hater, for being one-sided, for being unprofessional in my questioning. Did you…
Continued from Part One: Talking With Gods began, as you mentioned at C2E2 this past spring, as an interview for the back of Our Sentence is Up. You could easily have made this into a book-length interview with Morrison; why do it as a film? Filmmaking is my main realm of expertise, and it seemed…
Lady Death is returning at Avatar. Creator Brian Pulido and co-writer Mike Wolfer talk to Avatar’s Keith Davidsen. Warning… it’s a little bit pluggy. Keith: It’s 2010, we’re now well into the new millennium, and Boundless Comics is poised to bring back the beloved LADY DEATH comic book series. What’s the new, fresh take on…
Keith Davidsen used to work for Diamond Comic Distributors. He used to write Poison Elves. Now he works for Avatar Press as the publishers rep to retailers. He also gets to hag with Avatar creator Mike Wolfer an awful lot. And talk about zombies. Bleeding Cool pulled back the drawstring and let it go… Keith:…
It’s been a long time coming. But Invincible’s Ryan Otterly’s much-awaited Sea Bear & Grizzly Shark oneshot is coming out soon from Image. Plenty of, well, this kind of thing. Shark-on-bear action in a variety of locations. With a lot of collateral damage along the way…
What was I thinking? Image Comics recently published the fourth Pop Gun anthology volume, featuring a diverse group of comic creators telling a very diverse set of short stories. From acts of piracy sailing the seas of mathematical higher cogniscence, to a tale of alpha dominance of monsters, hunters, dogs and monkeys or a sea…
The tweeting of Neil Gaiman to Amanda Palmer and vice versa is generally one of those very life affirming aspects that justifies the existence of the internet in its entirety. But yesterday we all learnt of one of the dangers inherent within this modern delight. Getting Kevin Smith involved. Amanda Palmer: @neilhimself will you please…
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…
