Lockout: Take No Prisoners
So do you like the poster for Lockout?
It’s not as good as the trailer, but it works well enough.

Coogan’s Trade
Have you heard about Coogan’s Trade?
Coogan’s Trade is based on the crime novel by George V. Higgins. If that’s not enough to get you looking for the line to buy tickets, wait until you get a load of the cast of Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini and Sam Shepard.
What? You want to know more? OK… Pitt plays Coogan, a mob enforcer who is sent to find out and take care of whoever robbed a mob-protected poker game.
What you want to see more? Fine. First Look has some images from the film.
Satisfied? Now let’s get in line for some tickets!
“Fast 6” May Start Filming Soon
According to this report at MTV Movies, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said that filming on “Fast 6” will begin in May in either Germany or the UK. Although it was initially reported that “Fast 6” and “Fast 7” would film back-to-back, Johnson said that’s no longer the plan.
The fact that filming is scheduled to start so soon is exciting news. “Fast 5” was without a doubt the best of the “Fast and the Furious” series and I look forward to seeing “Fast 6”.
Tom Hodges: Barney Ross
This week we have Sly from The Expendables 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.
Arnold & Sly: Shoulder to Shoulder
For years fans hoped to see Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger appear in a movie together. The dream team-up finally occurred in The Expendables. When it was announced that Arnold would be back in a bigger role for The Expendables 2, fans couldn’t believe their luck.
Speaking of luck, what are the odds that both Arnold and Sly would find themselves side by side in a hospital prep room with both going in for shoulder surgery? Not to worry though, once they are healed both Arnold and Sly are set to team once again in The Tomb.
Riddick is in Deep Water
The on-set photos of Vin Diesel as Riddick just keep coming and I, for one, couldn’t be happier.
Lance Sawyer Got Carter
Lance Sawyer makes his third [and hopefully not last] appearance, this time with his take on Sly as Jack Carter from “Get Carter.” 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!

“Riddick”: The Plot Thickens
It feels like it’s Riddick week here at CZ.com. Bleeding Cool posted some interesting news from the latest Riddick press release. In addition to listing recently added cast members, they also posted a plot summary:
- The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
- The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.
Diesel Brings Riddick Back Again
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.
How to “Get the Gringo”
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].
“Riddick” – Vin Diesel Behind-the-Scenes Photo!
Coming Soon scored a shot of Vin Diesel on set and in character as Riddick.
Tom Hodges Goes to Cop Land
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.
The Hunter – No Not THAT Hunter
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 Draws First Blood
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!
