The Bullet to the Head trailer has finally arrived. Directed by Walter Hill and starring Sly Stallone, Bullet to the Head is the big screen adaptation of the French crime graphic novel of the same name.
We’ve been following the progress of this film since it was first announced in 2008. Having Bullet to the Head make it to the big screen with Sly in the lead is too cool. Hopefully the film will be as well.
Joe Carnahan, [the writer/director known for Narc, Smokin’ Aces and The Grey] put together a short video to give a feel for what he’d do if given an opportunity to bring Daredevil to the big screen. The video combines clips from several movies, with art from Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli’s run on Daredevil as well as some sweet Curtis Mayfield music thrown in to add a bit of spice.
Man, I’d love to see what Carnahan could do with the right cast and budget. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like this will happen.
Thanks and a tip o’ Matt Murdock’s shades to CBR.com.
Batman Maybe is without a doubt my favorite music video right now.
Want to see a very cool, very well made, stop-motion Batman movie short? If so, here’s Batman: Dark Knightfall.
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he brought Jack Carter with him – both of them. Mike surprised me with this clever take on “Get Carter” at Heroes Con. Mike outdid himself with this one!
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd (and if you’ve never checked out Mike’s site, you ought to if only to see his Walking Dead cards!) and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
I’m a big Evan Bryce fan. I’ve been following his work for a several years and we’ve become friends via the internet. Evan recently posted that he was taking on commissions, so if you collect sketches, why not check out his art. If you’re already a fan, now is the time to put in an order for a sketch or three.
The new Red Dawn trailer looks pretty good, don’t ya think?
Although I haven’t watched it in years, I was a fan of the original Red Dawn. Released in 1984, Red Dawn starred Patrick Swayxze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, and Jennifer Grey before they had reached the height of their fame,
Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O’Neal, William Smith, Powers Boothe and Frank McRae also had roles and gave the movie the gravitas it would have otherwise lacked.
If the new Red Dawn looks half-way interesting, I think I’ll check it out. If not, then it’s time to fire up the original.
On February 9, 2012, we posted that Tony Moore, the original artist of the hit comic book series The Walking Dead had sued long-time [former?] friend, Robert Kirkman. Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, claiming that he [Moore} was in truth the co-creator of the series.
A few days later Kirkman’s response was in the news.
At the time I had hope that Moore and Kirkman would be able to come to a mutually satisfactory solution soon. Unfortunately, that wasn’t to be. CBR.com has posted the complaint that Moore has now filed in federal court to be named co-author of The Walking Dead; Brit and Battle Pope.
I hate the reality of this situation.
I’m a huge Bob Peak fan. Back in the day, I also enjoyed watching Carter Country. So when I came across this Bob Peak TV Guide cover painting, how could I not post it?
If you’re a fan of Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, and who isn’t, then you might want to check out Eddie Deezen’s profile of the film.
Thanks and a ladle of hot soup to Neatorama.
I like this new poster for Looper, If you do as well, and would like to see one so big it could run from the past to the future, you can right here, thanks to the fine folks at ComingSoon.
The new trailer for the crime thriller Killing Them Softly is perfect. I can not wait to see this movie.
Killing Them Softly is based on a George V. Higgins crime novel and set in New Orleans, and follows professional criminal, Jackie Cogan as he investigates the robbery of a high stakes, mob-protected, poker game. It stars Brad Pitt, Ray Luotta, James Gandolfini and Sam Sheppard and opens October 7th.
I’ll save you a seat.
I don’t know what prompted the idea of this “Last Supper” Expendables 2 banner, but I sure dig it. Check it out at full size to enjoy the details. – Craig
