“It’s a bit of a departure. It’s definitely more of a very character based crime movie. I don’t know what’s going on with it right now, but the premise is that this guy was the most [badass] gangster of all time in Las Vegas, and he’s left the life and created this whole new world. His wife died but he’s raising his kid. He’s living in the middle of nowhere and he’s this very religious, trying to live a straight life guy. His daughter is now going to school at UCLA and she disappears, and he goes looking for her. The trail leads to Vegas and he has to go get her, and the entire city kind of comes down on top of him.“
IMPAwrds.com scored a look at two posters for “Killshot” which stars Diane Lane, Mickey Rourke and is based on Elmore Leonard’s best selling novel. The posters are okay — but I’m expecting the movie to be a lot better.
If you took my advice and picked up a copy of Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse, then you’ll probably enjoy this interview with its author, Victor Gischler. If you haven’t read the book yet, then check out the interview and maybe you’ll want to.
Warner Bros., in a very smart marketing ploy, has posted six new character posters for “Watchmen” on six different sites.
Slashfilm.com is on a roll. They have posted much larger versions of the “Star Trek” character posters above here.

DreadCentral.com scored the first look at the poster for George Romero’s latest zombie-fest titled “… of the Dead.” I kind of like the title considering that we’ve had “Night of the Living Dead,” “Dawn of the Dead,” “Day of the Dead,” “Land of the Dead,” “Diary of the Dead” and even a return to some of the earlier titles. Yeah, “… Of the Dead” works just fine.
A sequel to 30 Days of Night is gearing up with Ghost House Pictures. While this is good news, the really good news is that Steve Niles, who co-created the graphic novel [with artist Ben Templesmith] and co-wrote the first film is back on board. You can read more about the project here.
Most ZONErs will want to check out the current issue [11.07.08] of Entertainment Weekly [which is on newstands now]. Not only does it cover 54 films that will be coming out this fall, but there is also extended coverage of Daniel Craig in “Quantum of Solace” as well as an eight page profile of Mickey Rourke. Any of these features is worth the price of admission, but all three together is a bargain.
We first heard about Ed Brubaker’s “Angel of Death” back in July. CBR.com has a set report plus photos [like the one above with Zoe Bell and Ed Brubaker between takes]. You can check it out here.
Knowing many ZONErs are fans of the zombie genre, I just had to link to the interactive movie called The Outbreak. Not only is it surprisingly well done, but there is a way to actually survive. It took me more than a couple of tries, but I enjoyed the time spent playing If you decide to give it a go, be advised that there is profanity and gore. It is a zombie movie after all.
