Awesome Walking Dead Pumpkins
What do you get when you combine the scariest show on tv with a Halloween tradition? Why, some really rad Walking Dead pumpkins, of course.
Thanks and an extra zombie kill to Reddit for the original post.
Wolverine Teaser is a Work of Art
Here’s a teaser poster for Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman. I like the it! Very minimalistic. It has the feel of a Japanese print which ties right in with the fact that Wolverine will be set in Japan [since the movie is an adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic Wolverine mini-series.]
Plus the poster uses real art. As in a drawing, not a giant Photoshopped photograph. Sure, I realize that Photoshop is a tool and it takes a real artist to make it sing, but still… how often do we see art ala Drew Struzan, or Bob Peak, or Frank Frazetta on a modern movie poster? Not often enough.
Celebrate 30 Years with AC Comics
On Sunday, November 18, 2012, my buddy Steve is putting on a Comic and Toy Show [his 11th]. It’ll run from 10am to 5pm at the Holiday Inn on A1A in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The theme of the con is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of AC Comics. Bill Black the founder of AC Comics will be there. So will a ton of other folks who have worked for AC Comics over the years. Myself included. Hopefully John Beatty will make it. He should since he got his start in professional comics with Bill Black!
I have no doubt that this is going to be a fun show. How could it not be with the AC gang coming in for a reunion? If you’re able to make it, you should plan on being there too.
Jenn Lee is Expendable
Today we have Jenn Lee’s third (but hopefully not last) appearance in the Stallone Sketch Gallery. I saw Jenn’s art and that she was taking on headsketch commissions. Jenn thought sketching Sly characters would be fun. Here’s her take on Sly in his role as Barney Ross from The Expendables.
You can see more of Jenn’s art here. – Craig
Top 50 Horror Movies of All Time
FIlm.com posted their choices for the Top 50 Horror Movies of All Time. Like with most any “best of” list there are things to quibble about…
- — are Jaws and The Sixth Sense really horror movies?
- — how could they not include Them! or the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers or the Dawn of the Dead remake?
Even with the quibbles, it’s not a bad list.
A Good Day to Die Hard Quinella
A Good Day to Die Hard. I dig the new poster and new trailer. Unless the movie jumps the rails in a way I can’t imagine, I’m gonna dig A Good Day to Die Hard as well.
“LA Noir” is Coming to TNT
LA Noir is an original series from TNT that has a lot of potential. Frank [The Walking Dead; Shawshank Redemption; The Mist] Darabont not only serves as Executive Producer, but also wrote and directed the pilot.
Jon (The Walking Dead) Bernthal headlines as ex-marine/LA cop, Joe Teague in an era of mobsters and corrupt cops. LA Noir is based on John Buntin’s book of the same name. Coming Soon has more info about the series.
Arnold Toughest Member of Lollipop Guild
That’s the first shot of Arnold Schwarzenegger in character for the crime-action-drama, Ten, that’s now in production. According to ComingSoon:
- The film follows an elite DEA task force that deals with the world’s deadliest drug cartels. Specializing in complex mobile operations, the team executes a tactical raid on a cartel safe house. What looks to be a typical raid turns out to be an elaborate theft operation, pre-planned by the DEA squad. After hiding millions in stolen cash, the team believes their secret is safe – until someone begins assassinating them one by one.
Arnold looks to be in fine form and he’s still got that Terminator-stare, but if you ask me, that Lollipop-Guild haircut has got to go.
International “Killing Them Softly” Trailer
Sometimes a movie looks/sounds good from the moment you first hear about it. Then as posters and teaser trailers start appearing, it just keeps looking better and better.
Killing Them Softly is one of those films. This international Killing Them Softly trailer is the best yet.
Things are About to Heat Up for Hellboy
It’s been seven years since Mike Mignola wrote and drew an issue of Hellboy. That’s about to change when Hellboy in Hell debuts in December.
If that’s not enough to get you to pre-order your copy, then check out this article from CBR,com about we (and Hellboy) can expect.
Mike Hammer Making a Comeback!
Earlier this week, Deadline.com posted that Warner Bros. had picked up the rights to Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer. Although it hasn’t been decided whether Hammer will be turned loose in a modern day setting or the film will be a period piece, I think that either way we’re in for a potentially fun movie.
The real question is, who to play Mike Hammer? If they’re not going with an unknown, then I’d suggest Karl Urban. I’ll be interested to see who others (especially Chris Mills) would have step into the role. Your thoughts?
Oh, and while we’re making suggestions, might I suggest that Armand Assante’s outing as Mike Hammer in I, the Jury be brought out on dvd?
Bring Back Mike Zeck!
Recently CBR.com posted Six by 6: Six Creators Who Could Make a Big Impact with a Comeback. Number one on the list, was my buddy, Mike Zeck.
I think Mike would have a big impact if he came back to draw any graphic novel or mini-series. (Might I suggest a cold war, Nick Fury tale?) However, if you want something that would have a guaranteed HUGE impact, then get Mike back to do a prestige graphic novel featuring Captain America or The Punisher. Invite John Beatty to ink Mike’s pencils and Marvel could catch lightning in a bottle.
Perhaps if a top name writer created a story that’s a homage to the “Wild Bunch,” Mike would get the itch to come back. I doubt it, but it doesn’t hurt to dream.
By the way, eagle-eyed readers can spot Mike’s in-joke about Sylvester Stallone being my favorite actor.
