Dorothy, the Scarecrow and Robocop!?
As Rod Serling said, “Submitted for your approval…” And that quote is fitting since the photo has a Twilight Zone vibe to it.

The “Big Kill” Poster and Trailer are Here!
The Big Kill poster isn’t bad, and the trailer ain’t great, but how often do we get a new western?

Trav Hart Gets Carter and John Wick!
Trav Hart created this piece for me at last year’s HeroesCon. It’s actually my third piece from Trav (so watch for the other two).
Pairing John Wick and Jack Carter seems like a natural.
You can see more of Trav’s art at his site… and here in the coming weeks.
The Lost Scenes from “Rocky”
If you’re a Rocky or Stallone fan, then you probably noticed right away that the scene in the photo above doesn’t appear in the movie. Sadly, although the scene was filmed, it and all of the other Rocky deleted scenes and outtakes were destroyed some time in the 1980s.
Luckily for fans who’d love to see what could have been, The Edit Room Floor features rare and unpublished stills from classic films… and they have coverage of The Lost Scenes from Rocky.

George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” Special 50th Anniversary Event
George Romero’s remastered and restored Night of the Living Dead is returning to life in a theater near you!
To commemorate Night of the Living Dead‘s 50th anniversary, on October 24th and 25th theaters around the country will present special showings of the restored and remastered classic. George Romero oversaw the restoration through a collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art and the George Lucas Family Foundation.
I plan to attend a showing near me. It’ll be the first time seeing NOTLD in a theater and I’m looking forward to the audience experience.

5 Leroy Neiman Rocky Paintings and a Mystery!
Leroy Neiman, the world famous sports artist, made cameo appearances in Rocky 3, 4, 5 and Rocky Balboa. Neiman’s art could also be seen in several of the Rocky movies. The most famous Neiman Rocky art is the painting shown above. You’ll see copies hanging in many sports bars and man caves throughout the world. I own one of the original release prints that my wife surprised me with when I was in college.
The painting above is the second most known Neiman Rocky painting. It appeared at the very end of Rocky III. To the best of my knowledge it was never released as an official Neiman print although there are many knock-offs and other artists’ copies out there.
Neiman created the painting above for Rocky V. My understanding is that it was released as a limited edition print for a fundraiser. The print above was signed by Tommy Morrison.
The Neiman watercolor study above was offered up for auction and hopefully won by a Stallone fan.
And now for the mystery. The very bad image above is of a Neiman Rocky piece that sharp-eyed fans spotted during a vintage Barbara Walters interview with Sly Stallone. The art was/is in Sly Stallone’s personal collection. Here’s the mystery — was the piece ever released as a print or shown anywhere else? Are there any good copies of it around? If anyone knows, please forward the information and I’ll be sure to share it.
