I think that Vin Diesel may be as excited about bringing Riddick back to the big screen as we are to have him back. This is the third photo that Diesel has recently posted on his Facebook page. You can see all three there.
If you’re planning to see Mel Gibson’s next actioner Get the Gringo when it’s released then you’re going to have to live in driving distance of Austin, Texas [or one of ten other cities] or be a DIRECTV subscriber. You see, Mel has decided to roll the dice and see how the video on demand market treats him [and his production company].
Coming Soon scored a shot of Vin Diesel on set and in character as Riddick.
This week we have Sly from Cop Land by Tom Hodges. I discovered Tom’s art through his DA site. I saw that Tom was going to be drawing live on UStream so I commissioned several sketches which will be posted in the coming weeks. Tom still draws regularly on UStream and it’s always a blast watching him sketch and interacting with the crowd.
This is the trailer for The Hunter starring Willem Dafoe! It looks interesting, but not as cool as the poster. [And I’m still hoping for a big-screen version of The Hunter by James Byron Huggins starring Sly Stallone.]
Lance Sawyer makes his second appearance, this time with his riff on Sly as John Rambo from “First Blood.” I’ve been a fan of Lance’s art for a while. Recently I had a chance to purchase a few sketches from him and I could not be happier in how they turned out!
If you’d like to see more of Lance’s art, you can right here.
That’s Vin Diesel on the set and in character as Riddick. I have a lot of hope that his next outing as one of our favorite anti-heroes will be on par with his introduction in Pitch Black. (Although I have to admit if it’s at least as good as Chronicles of Riddick, I’ll still be happy.)
I love movies. Classics like “Drive” starring James Dean, Eva Marie Saint, Clark Gable and Spencer Tracy, or Fritz Lang’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” or Bruce Lee in “The Matrix” or Blake Lewis’ “The Hangover” with Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Jack Lemmon and that classic Muhammad Ali cameo!
What? Really? You haven’t seen them? You can if you check out Peter Stults‘ Movies from an Alternate Universe.
I’m looking forward to seeing Rampart and not just because of this very well designed poster.
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back from “Paradise Alley” and he brought Sly as Cosmo Carboni with him! I think Mike did an excellent job of capturing Sly from one of his most under-rated movies.
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
Here are two new photos, and the first to feature Yu Nan for The Expendables 2!
Entertainment Weekly scored a first look at Johnny [Barnabus Collins] Depp and Michelle [Elizabeth Collins] Pfieffer in Tim Burton’s big screen update of the cult-classic tv series, Dark Shadows.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that AMC is developing a new tv series based on the critically-acclaimed movie “Goodfellas.” Nicholas Pileggi, who wrote the novel [and co-wrote the screenplay along with director Martin Scorsese] is on board as an executive producer.
If AMC’s “Goodfellas” lives up to expectations, then they’ll have another hit on their hands. I’m ready to set my DVR now!
From time to time I talk about drive-in movies. Get Mean would have definitely been a drive-in movie and I would have enjoyed seeing it at one. Cowboys, Vikings, and a hidden treasure. What more could a kid ask for?
A tip of the cowboy hat or horned helmet to Bill Crider.
