Conan in Motion
This is a pretty cool poster. I wish Conan was closer and looking straight at us with a “you’re next” look on his mug.

THIS is the Red Skull
I’ve always liked Captain America. He’s an iconic super hero. Of course a hero is only as good as the villain that he goes up against. From the looks of things, Cap is going to be able to give The Dark Knight a run for his money. I really dig the look of The Red Skull in the photo above.
I’m starting to have high expectations for the Captain America movie… especially after reading this interview in Entertainment Weekly with director Joe Johnston, because he gets Cap.
- What I like is he’s not a superhero in the true sense of the word. He becomes a superhero but doesn’t have any super powers. He is just the best possible, human specimen.
- The thing that appeals to me is he is everyman… he’s a guy who never gives up.
- Yeah, for Steve Rogers it’s a very personal thing. At one point he says, “I don’t like bullies, I don’t care where they’re from.” He makes a complete physical transformation to a perfect human specimen. But inside he doesn’t change at all.
Brian Stelfreeze: Stallone is Expendable
Brian Stelfreeze. Barney Ross from The Expendables. What else needs to be said? Simply enjoy the genius of Brian Stelfreeze.
Ok. For those new to the show, Brian Stelfreeze is one of the most amazing artists working today. He can do it all… pencil, ink, color, design. I have never seen a bad piece by Brian. Yet, he is one of the most humble, approachable and appreciative artists you’ll ever meet. This is my second piece by Mr. Stelfreeze. [You can see my first here. Both are “cornerstones” of my collection.] I hope it is not my last.
It’s a Whole New Thing
The Thing poster above was created by Fernando Fro Reza as part of an on-going twice a month re-imagining of movie posters at CHUD.com. You can read more about the poster, the artist, how to get a limited edition Thing print [there are two different ones] and more about the re-imagined posters here.
Cat Run?
I don’t know anything about “Cat Run” other than I dig the 60’s movie poster vibe it’s putting off. Even the official “Cat Run” movie site doesn’t give us any additional clues yet. If you’d like to see a big-cat-sized version of the poster you can here at IMPAwards.com.
The Secret Life of Houdini
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Secret Life of Houdini, The Making of America’s First Superhero by William Kalush and Larry Sloman is being developed as an…
…action thriller featuring a character who is part Indiana Jones and part Sherlock Holmes, documenting his rise as a magician along with his covert involvement with the Secret Service.
New Captain America Photos
Slashfilm.com scored seven new photos from “Captain America.” I really hope that the movie lives up to it’s potential.
Dead Island Lives Again?
There’s a good chance that you’ve already seen the trailer to Dead Island. The trailer went viral because it’s so good. It is also pretty gory and very violent. I’ve watched it several times and although it’s a trailer for a game, it’s as good as any recent movie trailer. And wouldn’t you know it? According to JoBlo, Dead Island may soon be on the fast track to the silver screen.
Sly Stallone’s Still the Man
“Sly Stallone‘s still the man for international buyers. IM Global’s $40 million-budgeted Sylvester Stallone action project Headshot attracted heat here at the European Film Market with German giant Constantin taking the hit for local territory rights in a major pre-sale deal.” – that’s a quote from The Hollywood Reporter and you can read the full piece here.
Battle for LA
Here’s the latest poster for the highly anticipated Battle for LA. Although the poster isn’t as cool as I’d hoped, it still adds to my interest in the movie. IMPAwards has LAmongous version that you can see here.
Jesse Munoz Rocks Rocky
Jesse Munoz is back with his riff on Rocky. I discovered Jesse though his DA site and his website. This is my second Stallone piece by Jesse. You can see the first, Rambo, here. I’ll show you the others soon. Until then, why not check out Jesse’s sites?
I Saw the Devil
The only thing creepier than the title, I Saw the Devil, is the poster. [Via IMPAwards.com]
Steve Niles Shines the Spotlight
Steve Niles, best known as the writer who created 30 Days of Night, has started a weekly column at CBR.com called Creator-Owned Spotlight. If you like comics, you should check out what Steve has to say.Sly Stallone Scores a Headshot
- Way back in October of 2008, I posted about a French crime comic called “Headshot” that had been optioned by Warner Bros. “Headshot” was about a hitman and cop who, when their partners are killed, form an uneasy alliance to get revenge on the powers that set them up. At that time, I said that I’d love to see an American edition of the comic and that I’d keep an eye out on the progress of the movie.
- Then in May of 2010, I posted that “Headshot” was being published with an English translation by Dynamite Comics using the title “Bullet to the Head.”
- Today I’m happy to report that “Headshot” is moving forward with Sylvester Stallone playing one of the hitmen and Wayne “Running Scared” Kramer set to direct.
- Here’s how /Film describes “Headshot”… In the film, Stallone’s character “teams with a young NYPD detective in a high-stakes investigation that leads from the dingy back alleys of New Orleans all the way to the power corridors of Washington, D.C. The unlikely duo, brought together by two vicious murders, take on all who stand in their way, and are willing to sacrifice everything to exact revenge.”
- IM Global [the company making “Headshot”] CEO Stuart Ford said… “Headshot is exactly the type of fast-paced, universally themed project that suits our business model. Sylvester Stallone is an international icon and we’re really excited to be in business with him.”
- “Headshot” is set to being filming in May and I couldn’t be happier.
