Steve Niles & 28 Days… What a Treat!

Longtime ZONErs know that I really dug “28 Days Later.” The sequel, “28 Weeks Later” will be out next year. I can’t wait.

Now there is word of a graphic novel [written by Steve Niles!] called 28 Days Later: The Aftermath. It will serve as a bridge between the original movie and the sequel.

Want to know more… click HERE!

Oh yeah, trick or treat!!

Halloween Fun

Okay, okay.

I heard you knockin’.

You’re a day early, but HERE you go. Have fun!

If Being Funny is Wrong…

I’ve got to admit that until last weekend, I wasn’t aware of Borat. Then I saw a clip and was hooked. This guy is so wrong, but so funny. So is that wrong?

Almost Time for Tampa

If all goes according to our plan, in two weekends [November 12th to be exact], I will join my buddies, “Big” John Beatty, John “Star Wars” Higashi, and “The James” Howell for our tri-annual trip to Tim Gordon’s Tampa Comic Book and Toy Show. That’s Tim pictured above. He’s the guy not wearing a mask.

The show is always a blast. If you’re a long-time ZONE reader, then you’ve heard me speak about the show many times before. If you’re new to these parts, then click HERE and you’ll get a preview of the fun.

Hope to see some of you at the show. I’ll be the guy looking for Stallone sketches!

Two of "300"

Here’s the second part of the “300″ interview from yesterday. Today the interview concludes with Zack Snyder [co-writer and director] and the movie’s producers.

"Smokin’ Aces" and Frank Miller

I loved “Narc” and was excited to hear that Joe Carnahan was coming back with a new movie called “Smokin’ Aces.” I must admit that when I first saw the trailer a couple of months ago, I wasn’t knocked out. I went back and watched it again tonight, and I’m definitely on board now. I wonder how I’ll feel after I see the movie.

On another note, there’ s nice little interview HERE with Frank Miller who talks about “300,” “Sin City 2″ and “The Spirit.”


Jack is Back in January!

The sixth season of “24″ doesn’t start until January, but FOX has released a trailer which you can see by clicking HERE.

Although last season will be hard to top, season six just may do it!

Every Zombie has its Day

Everybody, well, almost everybody here at the ZONE loves a good zombie movie. If you hurry, you should be able to see a sneak peak at the “Day of the Dead” trailer. Just click HERE.

Root for the Bad Guy… Again

“Payback” is one of my favorite Mel Gibson films. Based on the novel by Richard Stark, it’s a worthy adaptation of a crime classic. The story behind the making of the movie is almost as interesting.

Screenwriter, Brian Helgeland, hot of the success of “LA Confidential” wanted to direct. Pairing him with Mel Gibson on “Payback” seemed a natural. Things went well until late into filming when either Gibson, the studio or both decided that Gibson’s character needed to be more likeable and the film needed more action.

Helgeland disagreed. Guess who won out?

Yep, Gibson and the studio. So Mel went behind the camera and filmed some additional scenes and the tone of the movie changed.

As I said, “Payback” is one of my favorite Mel Gibson movies… but I always thought it would be cool to see Brian Helgeland’s vision. Perhaps, it too, would be one of my favorites.

According to Harry at Ain’t It Cool News, we’ll soon find out! “Payback: Straight Up - The Director’s Cut” is comming out in a few months. And unlike some “director’s cuts” where a few minutes of footage [that wasn't good enough to make the original release!] is added, this is going to be a complete overhaul. It will be Helgeland’s vision .

And I can’t wait to see it!

300 Goes Live

The official “300″ site has gone live! Man, I can not wait for this movie!
