Here’s the latest poster for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Last Stand. Although it’s not the greatest poster in the world, I don’t dislike it and I’m always happy to see movie posters with art instead of photoshopped heads.
You can see a much bigger version of The Last Stand poster over at IMPAwards.com.
Today we have Jenn Lee’s first appearance in the Stallone Sketch Gallery. I saw Jenn’s art and that she was taking on headsketch commissions. Jenn thought sketching Sly characters would be fun. Here’s her take on Sly in his role as Freddy Hefflin from Cop Land.
You can see more of Jenn’s art here. – Craig
Ten years ago I wrote a post talking about an awesome new comic series called The Goon. For more than a decade, Eric Powell [who created, writes and draws] The Goon has continued to produce a comic loved by fans of all ages.
So it was no surprise when, four years ago, The Goon was optioned to become a feature film.
About a year later we got to see a couple of production images showing how The Goon movie would look.
Two years ago we were treated to a movie poster for The Goon which was listed as “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You.”
A year ago we got to glimpse test footage from The Goon. Each step of the way, the hope for an actual full length feature length Goon film seemed closer to becoming a reality. Unfortunately, even with David [Se7en] Fincher on board, the financing wasn’t there.
Now thanks to Kickstarter, all that can change. I’m in. Will you join me? The Goon movie… Let’s Kickstart this sucker!
That’s Jim Lee’s art for the variant cover to Django Unchained #1 which is set to drop on December 5th. You can see a slightly larger version as well as Massimo Carnavale’s variant cover to issue #3 over at CBR.com.
I’m really surprised we’re not hearing more about Parker.
Parker is based on the classic crime novels of Richard Stark, and features a cast that includes Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, and Nick Nolte. The trailer looks good and the Parker movie site has gone live.
Let’s spread the word!
Dave Wachter returns with his take on Sly from Expendables 2. I met Dave a few years ago and became an instant fan. I wasn’t the only one to discover Dave’s fantastic sketches! How can you not like a great guy who is a terrific artist? You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
Earlier this morning we looked at 007 From Plainfield New Jersey. Now we have the REAL 007.
It may come as a surprise, but often a movie’s most memorable line/scene is the result of an ad-lib. Paul Young at Screen Rant presents The 32 Greatest Unscripted Movie Scenes.
Have you seen this fun short CGI animation, The Butterfly Effect?
Well done, fellas!
Very cool.
Thanks and a big “Ungawa” to @MikeZeck for the heads-up.
Alexis Ziritt makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Alexis is the co-founder of Fistful Apparel and the indie comics co-op Calavera Comics. When I saw that Alexis was taking sketch card commissions, I decided to get on board for a couple. I asked Alexis to pick two from Jack Carter, John Rambo and Cobra. Alexis liked the theme and decided to do all three.
I am really looking forward to Red Dawn… much more than I thought I would when the remake was announced.
