Don Winslow’s Savages
I really enjoyed Savages by Don Winslow. Of course what crime fiction loving fan didn’t?
Naturally, I’m looking forward to the movie adaptation starring Aaron Johnson, Taylor Kitsch, Blake Lively, John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Salma Hyeck, and Benicio Del Toro. Savages opens July 6th and although the full length trailer doesn’t break until tomorrow, MTV has the teaser for the trailer here.
If you’re already on board or think Savages is something you’d really dig, then you’ll probably be interested in Don Winslow’s prequel called The Kings of Cool. It hits the streets on June 19th.
What Jimmy Stewart Really Saw in “Rear Window”
This is so cool. Jeff Desom edited footage from Alfred Hitchcock’s classic, Rear Window, so we have a time-lapse video of Jimmy Stewart’s view of the courtyard to show us exactly what was going on in that building across the way.
Thanks and a wave of a broken leg to MetaFilter for the link.
Full-Length “Total Recall” Trailer Up
The full-length trailer to Total Recall is up and looks awesome. If the movie lives up to the trailer, we’re in for an amazing ride.
Samuel L. Jackson is The Samaritan
As cool as the retro-looking poster for The Samaritan is, I like the trailer even better. Samuel L. Jackson as a newly released ex-con under pressure from his parole officer to “not even jaywalk” and his ex-partner’s [who Jackson killed} son’s gang forcing him back into the life… yeah, I’m in.
Shawn Surface Brings The Law
Today we have Sly as Judge Dredd by Shawn Surface. Shawn is an all-around nice guy and his art should be getting more attention. This is the first of three pieces that I recently picked up from Shawn. The other two will be posted in the coming weeks. Until then, why not check out his site and give him some love?
Sly in “A Fistful of Dollars” and More ; )
Empire has an area devoted to movie poster mash-ups. In the Sylvester Stallone section there are several very clever posters. Here are three of my favorites. – Craig

“Dark Shadows” Character Posters
While my anticipation for Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows has cooled a bit, I still like his Barnabas character poster.
Wolverine or 2 Bat Men
I saw Wolverine first and then the 2 Bat Men. Pretty clever drawing, eh?
And a tip o’ the cowl to Geek World Order.
Teaser for Total Recall Trailer
Here’s the teaser for the trailer of the Colin Farrell remake of Total Recall?
The Iceman: Scarier Than Fiction
If the movie The Iceman is half as riveting as listening to the real Iceman, Richard Kuklinski, then we’re in for a very scary movie.
Kuklinski was the 6 foot 5 inch, three hundred pound hitman, who claimed to have killed over 100 men between 1948 and 1986. Kuklinski was finally convicted of five murders in 1988 and sentenced to consecutive life sentences. In 2003, Kuklinski pled guilty of the murder of NYPD detective Peter Calabro.
Kuklinski, once incarcerated was never one to shy away from talking about his killings. His matter of fact discussions of brutal and sadistic killings was chilling and without remorse. Kuklinski died in prison on March 5, 2006. He had been scheduled to testify that Sammy Gravano had ordered the hit on Detective Calabro. After Kuklinski died, the case against Sammy Gravano was dropped.
If you’d like to see an iceberg-sized version of The Iceman poster, you can, thanks to IMPAwards.
Mike Torrance Scores a Victory
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd scores a “Victory” with his take on Sly as Captain Richard Hatch from one of Sly’s most under-rated movies.
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
Edmondson & Klein: Dancer
That’s a very clever image [cover?] to promote Nathon Edmondson and Nic Klein’s new series Dancer.
Vanity Fair has a Sit-Down with The Sopranos
If you were a fan of The Sopranos, and who wasn’t – fans and critics alike loved the show – (112 Emmy nominations and 21 wins in its 6 season run), then you’ll probably enjoy the excellent April 2012 Vanity Fair interview with all of the shows major players.
