Dan Panosian “Gets Carter”
Dan Panosian gifted me with this Jack Carter drawing at the recent FX Show. Dan is a Stallone fan and decided on “Get Carter” with no prompting from me. I love Dan’s work, so to get a piece from him was a thrill. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
Check out more of Dan’s art here and here. Plan to spend some time, because everything he draws is worth a look!
“The Road” Trailer… A Different Road
This trailer for The Road makes it clear that there’s been changes made from Cormac McCarthy’s award-winning novel of the same name… but, boy, does the movie still look worthy!
Ron Salas’ “Expendable”
This is my fourth Stallone sketch by Ron Salas. Obviously I’m a huge fan of his work. Of course when he does pieces like his take on Sly from “The Expendables” who wouldn’t be? You can check out more of Ron’s art here.
Marshall Rogers’ Bruce Lee
Time for another dip into the ZONE vault. This time we come up with the front piece to “The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #26” published by Marvel and cover-dated July 1976. Ah, that was a great time. My senior year in high school had yet to start… ah, but I digress.
The front piece is a tribute to the legendary Bruce Lee as drawn by Marshall Rogers.
“Give ‘Em Hell Malone”
I first heard about “Give ‘Em Hell Malone” back in January. I was surprised then that more people weren’t talking it up since it stars Thomas Jane and Ving Rhames in what looks to be a very hip, on-point genre movie.
I’m diggin’ everyrhing about “Give ‘Em Hell Malone” – from the way cool styized poster above [as well as these others] to the latest trailer which premiered at Cannes. I am ready to see this bad boy in a theater NOW.
“The Mercury Men”
If you’re a fan of “The Twilight Zone,” “The Outer Limits,” sci-fi, drive-in movies, or cliffhangers then you really should check out “The Mercury Men.” I love the feel of this. Of course I’m in to “The Twilight Zone,” “The Outer Limits,” sci-fi, drive-in movies…
Roth is What Pitt is.
IMPAwards scored the first look at another “Inglorious Basterds” poster. I’m really diggin’ these character posters. Let’s hope the Tarantino film is as enjoyable. See it in it’s full glory here.
CultRetro Goes Live
That’s me lookin’ shocked. You would be too if a giant woman was about to stomp you. Don’t worry, you’ll understand in a second.
My buddy, Wild Bill Black, has put together a very hip website called CultRetro to showcase his movies. In addition to the 75 or so dvd movies that he has available for immediate purchase, there are also downloadable films, video production blogs and more. If you’re into vampires, monsters, horror hosts, rocket men, detectives, giant women, and, well you get the idea, then check out CultRetro.
If you’re still not convinced, then check out this extended trailer. Not only will you get a better feel for what CultRetro is all about, but you also understand why I was about to get stomped.
Brad Pitt is a – Watch Your Mouth!
This is a much smaller, cropped version of the new “Inglorious Basterds” poster that AICN has posted here. I like it!
Going to “District 9”
This trailer for District 9 is just creepy enough to make me think this could be a very cool monster movie.
Willis and Donner May Be Red
Congrats to Cully Hamner and Warren Ellis. It looks like the movie adaptation of their comic mini-series “Red” has taken a huge leap forward. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Bruce Willis is in talks to star in the production and to make the potential movie even sweeter, Richard Donner is on the short list of directors.
Man, I would love it if Willis and Donner make the flick.
“Curse of the Werewolf” Werewolf
Here’s another gem from the ZONE vault. I dug it then… and I digs it now. This is a spot illustration created by Doug Hazlewood back in 1977. It’s of course a drawing of Oliver Reed from “Curse of the Werewolf.” What, you didn’t recognize ole Oliver under all that make-up?
Growing up I always thought that the wolfman was one of the coolest of all monsters and that the “Curse of the Werewolf” werewolf was the version of the wolfman that I liked best… and I still do!
Gene Gonzales: Lords of Flatbush
The extremely talented, extremely nice, Gene Gonzales created his take on Sly from “The Lords of Flatbush” at the recent FX show. Big John Beatty had requested that he have a table near Gene and it was a great move. Gene is funny, knowledgeable and really nice. [Did you hear that somewhere before?]
Although many artists said the FX show wasn’t as busy as they’d hoped, Gene was constantly signing autographs and sketching for fans. At one point Gene even surprised me by singing the promotional song for “Lords of Flatbush.” That sealed the deal — I asked him if he would draw Sly as Stanley and Gene came through with flying colors.
You can see more of Gene’s work at his blog where he posts art DAILY! Gene is also available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
Thanks again Gene!
Clowns vs SWAT
Do you have two minutes and 19 seconds to spare? If so you can check out this really cool [and really short] film by Adam Berg. One of the things that make it worth checking out is that NOTHING moves but the camera.
I guess in an effort to make full disclosure I should tell you that the film is also a commercial for the Phillips Carousel which is a new really widescreen tv [as in wider than other widescreen sets]. But don’t worry about the commercial — the set is never shown or mentioned and the movie really has a neat twist… if you’re paying attention!
Enjoy!
