Jay Potts Takes On Jack Carter

Jay Potts, the creator of the very hip blaxplotation web comic World of Hurt, worked up a Jack Carter sketch for me. Yeah, he definitely caught the tough guy image that Jack Carter projected!

Before you click over to Jay’s web comic, be advised that World of Hurt is suggested for MATURE READERS due to violence, profanity and a bunch of other stuff that can be found in the best blaxplotation movies.

Heroes Con 2010, Part I

It’s hard to believe that HEROES CON 2010 was three weeks ago.  Usually within the week following HEROES, I post my con report and photos.  Of course, most years, the con is held later in the year and so when I return home I still have at least a week of vacation left.  This year HEROES was held earlier in the month and I didn’t have the luxury of vacation when I returned home.

Enough with the excuses.  In an effort to get my con report and photos up before next year’s HEROES CON, I will post three pictures a day along with some comments.

That’s Chris DiBari.  He’s worked on some pretty neat comics including adaptations of The Warriors and The Crazies (especially cool since Chris is a big movie buff).  Currently Chris is working on the very well received western comic Pale HorseChris is also a Stallone fan and he did a cool take on Sly from Nighthawks which I will post in the near future.

That’s Jay Potts, the creator of the very hip blaxplotation web comic World of Hurt.  As you can see from the photo above, Jay rocked a Jack Carter sketch for me.  I’ll post a scan soon.

Lurking Under Life

If you’re a regular ZONE reader, then you probably know that my buddy, Bill Black, is not only a comic publisher, but also makes low-budget horror and super hero movies.  The digital age has allowed more and more folks to make and market films.

I was recently contacted by Steve Kasansza, a regular reader of my StalloneZone site.  Steve and some of his buddies made a horror film called Lurking Under Life.  You can check out the trailer here and their website here.  If you like what you see you can get an autographed dvd copy of the film and a whole lot more.  This looks like a pretty good first film and I look forward to seeing the whole movie!

Predators: 74 Shots

Film Filia scored 74 new photos from Predators.  I’ve been looking forward to this sequel.  My guess is that a lot of the folks that thought that Adrien Brody wouldn’t be convincing as a tough guy able to go toe-to-toe with a predator will change their opinion after seeing the still above and the other 73 here.

Original Cast Movie Posters

Wildammo.com came up with a cool idea.  They created movie posters featuring the celebrities that were originally scheduled to appear in the starring roles.  So we have Stallone and Schwarzenegger in Face Off, Will Smith in the Matrix and many others.  It’s a great idea and really well executed.  You can see all of the posters by clicking here.
