“The Goon” Movie… Let’s Kickstart This Sucker!
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!
The Wake is Coming in 2013
It was just announced that writer, Scott [Batman] Snyder is teaming up with artist, Sean [Punk Rock Jesus] Murphy for The Wake which Snyder describes as a…
“…big, twisted, sprawling science fiction and horror epic, all of which begins with a single, terrifying discovery at the bottom of the ocean.
Count me in.

J. O’Barr is Skinning the Wolves
J. O’Barr is writing and doing the art layouts [with finishes by Jim Terry] for a new Crow three issue mini-series called Skinning the Wolves. Set in a concentration camp in the darkest hours of World War II, the story…
- investigates a world where the dark harbinger of vengeance is dispatched in response to one of history’s greatest atrocities and the ultimate evil that perpetrated it.
I’ve been a J. O’Barr fan since the original Crow mini-series debuted back in the pages of Caliber Presents. Although I bought almost every Crow mini-series that followed it, something was always missing. Usually it was J. O’Barr. I’m glad to see he’s back with story and layouts and will give it a shot!

Kirkman & Moore Settle Suit!
Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore have amicably settled their suit over The Walking Dead. In a joint statement sent to CBR.com it was announced that…
- “Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore are pleased to jointly announce that they have reached an amicable agreement in their respective lawsuits and all parties have settled the entire matter to everyone’s mutual satisfaction. Neither side will be discussing any details but will instead happily and productively spend their time focused on their own work and move on in their lives.”
Excellent news. Truly excellent.
Stallone to Helm Hunter
Bloody Disgusting has reported that…
- Stallone and Lionsgate have inked up a deal to fast track Hunter for 2014 release date. Stallone is set to star, write and direct, which will be filmed in 3-D.
I really hope this pans out. Hunter was written by James Byron Huggins specifically with Sly in mind. It’s an awesome book that will translate into a very cool movie.
- “A beast is loose somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a squad of elite military guards. And the raging creature is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation. It is a job Hunter cannot turn down, but he soon discovers that his prey is terror incarnate, a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments. It has man’s cunning, a predator’s savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages.”
Let’s hope everything lines up and Hunter gets made with Stallone at the helm.
Fight the Dead. Fear the Living.
Now this is a nice poster. I guess it should be though, since it’s the official poster for AMC’s The Walking Dead (Season Three).
“Fight the Dead. Fear the Living.”
Indeed. And while we’re at it, you might want to check out these new promo pics and trailer for The Walking Dead‘s new season over at CBR.com.

Moore Takes Kirkman to Federal Court
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.
The Future of The Walking Dead
The fine folks at Shock Till You Drop recently caught up with Robert Kirkman and executive producer David Alpert to find out what we should expect in the new season of The Walking Dead. Here’s a tidbit:
“The biggest thing I have to say is that, as the storytelling picked up at the end of season two, and the speed of events happening — well, we’re increasing it. Season three is going to be non-stop, in your face, intense. This is the point in the show that I’ve been excited about giving the audience since season one.”

6 Classic Twilight Zone Episodes for the 4th!
There’s a Twilight Zone marathon going on over at the Syfy channel. There are a lot worse ways to spend a lazy 4th of July than watching Rod Serling’s presentations of some of the best sci-fi and horror ever shown on television.

8:00 “Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?” – On a dark, snowy night, two deputies respond to a call about a crashed spaceship. Tracks lead to a remote dinner where seven bus passengers and the diner’s owner are waiting out the storm. The funny thing is there were only supposed to be six passengers on the bus and strange things are starting to happen at the dinner. Coincidence or is there an alien among them?
8:30 “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” – It’s just getting dark when a strange sound and flashing lights in the sky bring neighbors out of their houses. A child suggests it’s aliens from a flying saucer. The adults laugh it off until strange things begin to happen and their paranoia increases. Soon they are looking at each other — could aliens already be here?
9:00 “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” – A man, with a fear of flying and recently recovered from a nervous breakdown, is having a hard time making it through a stormy, late night flight. Then he sees a monster on the wing trying to damage the plane’s engine…
9:30 “Time Enough At Last” – When a meek book lover finds himself the sole survivor of a nuclear holocaust, he takes joy in that he will at last have time enough to read… or will he?
10:00 “To Serve Man” – Aliens come to earth promising peace and shared technology. They seem to be making good on their promise to turn earth into a paradise, yet some doubts linger…
