The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Trailer is Here with a bit of Controversy

How about this trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

It didn’t take long for some fans to start complaining about Brad Pitt’s character getting the best of Bruce Lee.  My thoughts: If it is rehearsal for a film, then, “Ok”.  Maybe Lee’s character is scripted to lose.  But if the scene is supposed to be a real fight, then, “No way.”

Then again, that’s not really Bruce Lee, so why the worry? Once Upon a Time in Hollywood isn’t a documentary, and with a title that begins with Once Upon a Time we shouldn’t expect one.

At any rate, here’s the trailer.

Frank Miller’s Daredevil Covers

What we have today is a gallery of Frank Miller’s Daredevil covers courtesy of PencilInk.  Man, that was a glorious run of well-written, well drawn stories.  Miller of course did the writing and pencils and Klaus Janson provided the inks.

If you click over to PencilInk you can click on each cover to see a larger version as well as a summary of the issue.

“Going to the Chapel” New Crime Mini-Series Preview!

Going to the Chapel is a new four issue mini-series written by David Pepose, with art by Gavin Guidry, colors by Liz Kramer, and letters by Ariana Maher.  Pepose describes the series as…

…Die Hard meets Kill Bill meets 3000 Miles to Graceland.

If that’s not enough to get you interested, then perhaps Syfywire’s coverage with more of Pepose’s discussion of the series, character sheets by Maan House (who also created the cover above) plus preview pages by Gavin Guidry.

Josh Greathouse’s Art Book!

Joshua Greathouse has a new art book featuring covers, sketches, paintings and a preview of his next series Unprofessional coming out.  Enlightenment is now on Kickstarter.

If you click over to give it a look, you’ll get a glimpse of the Get Carter piece that Greathouse did for me.  I’d think that for many readers of this site, the Stallone art would be enough to support Josh’s Kickstarter.  ; )

Fan-Made Trailer Turns “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” into a Drama!

Morgan Cooper is the writer, director and cinematographer for the fan-made trailer Bel-Air.  As you’ll see pretty quickly, Bel-Air is a serious re-telling of The Fresh of Bel-Air.

Kudos to Cooper for turning a comedy concept into what could be a very interesting serious drama while keeping in the funny bits (the Carlton Dance, “born and raised,” Jazzy Jeff, etc.)
