“The Wolfman” Trailer
Maybe it’s me today. The “Avatar” trailer didn’t thrill as much as I’d hoped, and neither does “The Wolfman” trailer. Is it me???

Zombieland: “Nut Up or Shut Up
ComingSoon.net scored the first look at the new “Zombieland” poster.
“Nut Up or Shut Up” indeed.
14 Pages of “28 days later”
Newsarama.com is running a 14 page preview of issue one of “28 days later.” If you liked the movie, you’ll probably dig the comic. Check out the preview and see what you think!
“Walking Dead” Live @ AMC
Variety announced today that AMC is…
“close to finalizing one of the richest development deals ever with [Frank] Darabont to write and direct a series adaptation of the Image Comics graphic novel series ‘The Walking Dead,’ penned by Robert Kirkman.
As a reader who has been with the series since issue one, and who still reads it immediately after getting home, you’d be right to say I’m thrilled. This has the potential to be really, really good.
“Crow” Creator Profiled
If you enjoyed “The Crow” comic book series or movie, or you’re a James O’Barr fan, then you might want to check out this excellent profile posted by the fine folks at CBR.com. Heck, you’ll even learn what O’Barr did with all the money he made from “The Crow” movie… and my guess is you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
The Vampire’s Assistant
You know, if someone had asked me about “The Vampire’s Assisstant” before I saw the trailer, I’d have said it’s based on a book geared to teenagers and will probably do well with the younger teenage crowd… and no, I have no desire to read the book or see the movie.
After seeing the trailer, and I still can’t believe I’m about to write this, “The Vampire’s Assisstant” looks kind of interesting and fun. Am I wrong?
“Zombieland” & Tarantino Character Posters
How about a look at a couple of new movie posters? “Zombieland” (which looks like a ton of fun) is above. IMPAwards.com has an amusement park-sized version that you can see by clicking here. They also have a new character poster for Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” that is right here.
“Day One” Over “District 9”
Have you seen this trailer for the new NBC series, “Day One”, which premieres this fall? It makes me want to check out the show.
“Carriers”
I’m a sucker for movies about a small band of folks working to survive against insurmountable odds. This trailer and especially this trailer for “Carriers” makes it look like it will fit the bill.
The Nocturnals Together Again
CBR.com caught up with Dan Brereton and he gives us the lowdown on the Nocturnals collected editions. I dig the Nocturnals, but would really love to see Dan’s work on The Black Terror reprinted in a nice hardcover.
Daybreakers Follow Undead
AICN scored the first look at “Daybreakers” – the Spierig brothers’ follow-up to “Undead”. Quint describes the film by saying it’s a:
futuristic vampire tale starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. It’s about a plague that turns the vast majority of the Earth’s population into vampires. The remaining humans have to be rounded up and farmed as the supply of fresh blood grows smaller and smaller and the demand grows larger and larger. The vampires must figure out a way to replicate the blood or save the human race or they, too, will die out.
Sounds pretty cool. Check out the AICN post here and see the poster in it’s ginormous glory.
Let’s All Go to Zombieland!
Zombieland looks like fun. My kind of fun, anyway.
Dead Zombie Ratings
According to this site, the ZONE should be rated PG-13 due to using the word “dead” 9 times, “zombie” 4 times and “death” once. Well, I do write, on a fairly regular basis, about how great the comic “The Walking Dead” is… and it is about zombies.
I guess if I’d been talking up “Hellboy” I might have gotten an “R” rating?? Oops.
Proof of Viking Zombies
We were just talking about The Walking Dead yesterday and today Newsarama.com posted a preview of the latest issue. And to sweeten the deal, Newsarama also posted previews of the latest issues of Viking [you are reading Viking, aren’t you??] and Proof. Click on over.
Who Will Join the Walking Dead?
The Walking Dead has been one of my favorite comics since it first appeared. Now, 62 issues later, The Walking Dead is still the first one I read each month when I pick up my comics. Although not many members of the original cast have survived the zombie apocalypse, Kirkman hints that more are about to meet the grim reaper in this interview [with potential spoilers] at CBR.com.
