Although season one of The Walking Dead doesn’t premiere until Halloween night, AMC has announced that a second season, with a full 13 episodes, will begin shooting in February. You can read more about the renewal at CBR.com and where you can also see a larger version of the comic teaser poster.
Quint over at AICN has a nice little interview with Eric Powell, creator of the cult classic comic (and hopefully soon to be in full production animated film) The Goon. With David “Se7en” Fincher, Paul Giamonti and Clancy Brown already on board, this project should kill. And with The Goon, that exactly what I mean (especially if you’re a zombie).
The official trailer for The Walking Dead hit today. Man, it looks as good as I hoped. I can not wait until the series premiere on Halloween night!
This trailer for The Vanishing on 7th Avenue feels like a version of something that could have appeared on the original Twilight Zone. That alone is reason enough to check it out.
My guess is that several regular ZONERS (especially Bill Black and Chris Mills) will end up with the recently announced Art of Hammer book. It’ll feature the poster art from the Hammer horror films. It’s currently on sale for less than twenty buck which is a pretty scary deal.
Want to see the trailer to the 30 Days of Night sequel Dark Days? If so, then you’ve come to the right place.
Harry Knowles at AICN recently announced that AICN is going to present and run the Famous Monsters of Filmland.com website. This is especially exciting news because Harry has a passion for horror films. He also has a huge fan base that he can attract to the site.
I love horror/monster movies and when I was a kid Famous Monsters of Filmland was always a fun read. But up until Harry’s announcement, I wasn’t even aware that there was a Famous Monsters website.
In other monster news, /Film posted a report that Tim Burton is developing a 3D film called Monsterpocalypse. Tim Burton and the title alone make it worth a look.
Harry at AICN posted this wicked Drew Struzan poster for AMC’s adaptation of The Walking Dead series. Harry has a ZOMBIELAND-sized version that could truly be your wallpaper and you can see it here.
This Walking Dead motion comic is the coolest thing on the internet right now. Oh, and you might also want to check out a new (and much larger version) of The Walking Dead character poster below!
If you’re a fan of Eric Powell’s The Goon (or even if you’re not) you’ll want to check out this trailer of what we can expect when a big screen adaptation hits. And keep in mind that when The Goon hits, he hits HARD.
MTV News scored a cool behind-the-scenes look at AMC TV’s The Walking Dead. Thanks to the good folks at CBR.com, the clip can be seen here.
Three years ago it was announced that Johnny Depp had signed on to play Barnabus Collins in a big screen adaptation of the 60’s cult hit tv show, Dark Shadows. I’m happy to report that things are looking good for a January 2011 filming start with Tim Burton at the helm.
This trailer for Predators does exactly what a good trailer should. It makes me want to see the movie.
Today while I was checking out Bookgasm.com, I came across a review of Blood Oath by Christopher Farnsworth. I’d never heard of the book or author before, but the tag line intrigued me:
The Ultimate Secret. The Ultimate Agent. The President’s Vampire.
So I read a little further and was told…
Christopher Farnsworth’s book is an amalgam of the HELLBOY comic and the men’s adventure series THE DESTROYER.
The book sounded interesting and then I came across this trailer that made me want to learn a bit more. So I went to the Amazon page and saw that it had 36 customer reviews with an overall 4 1/2 star rating and with no rating lower than a 3 [and only 4 of those]! I’m putting Blood Oath on my To Be Bought List… or perhaps even my Father’s Day Request List [Hint! Hint! to my sons].
