Eastwood is Carnahan’s Gemini Man

Posted on by

A couple of months ago we took a look at Joe [Narc] Carnahan’s sizzle reel giving his pitch for a proposed Daredevil movie reboot.  Today we get a look at one Carnahan’s video pitches from several years ago.  It’s for Gemini Man — about an over-the-hill hitman forced to do battle with a younger clone of himself. [Looper, anyone?]

Thanks and an extra “Go ahead and make my day” Eastwood impression to ComingSoon for the original post.


Who Knows? Matt Wagner Knows!

Matt Wagner has signed on to write The Shadow: Year One for Dynamite Comics.  Although The Shadow has been around for the better part of a century appearing in pulps, comics, and movies, his origin has been sketchy at best.  Wagner who is a fan of the character plans to change that. 

  • “THE SHADOW has long been one of my absolute favorite established characters and I’m thrilled to finally get the chance to contribute to his continuing adventures,” says Matt Wagner.  ”I’m getting to help define The Shadow’s mysterious origins in a Year One story arc!  For all his published history in both the pulps and comics, as well as his radio adventures, there’s surprisingly no depiction of his very first adventures as the dark-clad Master of Men.  This series will explore the events that first drew Kent Allard/Lamont Cranston back to the States, how he began to assemble his vast network of agents and how he first adopted the famous black hat and cloak as his alter-ego’s disguise-secrets that, up until now…only The Shadow knew!” 

Thanks and a tip of our not-so-famous black hat to ComicsBeat.com for the original post.


“The Goon” Movie… Let’s Kickstart This Sucker!

Posted on by

Ten years ago I wrote a post talking about an awesome new comic series called The Goon.  For more than a decade,  Eric Powell [who created, writes and draws] The Goon has continued to produce a comic loved by fans of all ages.

So it was no surprise when, four years ago, The Goon was optioned to become a feature film. 

About a year later we got to see a couple of production images showing how The Goon movie would look. 

Two years ago we were treated to a movie poster for The Goon which was listed as “Coming Soon to a Theater Near You.” 

A year ago we got to glimpse test footage from The Goon.   Each step of the way, the hope for an actual full length feature length Goon film seemed closer to becoming a reality.  Unfortunately, even with David [Se7en] Fincher on board, the financing wasn’t there.

Now thanks to Kickstarter, all that can change.  I’m in.  Will you join me?  The Goon movie… Let’s Kickstart this sucker!
