Wolverine Comic Con Footage/Trailer
The most surprising thing about this “Wolverine” footage (it’s not really a trailer, it’s too long for that) shown at Comic Con isn’t that it’s so good you’re surprised how good it looks, but that they’re still calling this thing “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. I always thought it was kind of a clunky title when they [...]

The last time we heard about Benderspink’s plans to bringing the indie comic book “Last Blood” to the big screen, it was April 1st of this year, and I think most people thought it was an April Fools joke. Sure sounded funky, but no, it’s actually the real thing. It took them a while, but [...]

So you weren’t completely sold on the Punisher and his second coming when we showed you the first “Punisher: War Zone” trailer, huh? Well join the club. Not a whole lot of people were sold, although I thought it was pretty groovy myself, but hey, what do I know, I’m typing this while in my [...]

So Comingsoon is currently floating this rumor that John Barrowman, star of the BBC’s Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood, was just asked at Comic Con if it was true that he was currently up for the role in Marvel’s mega movie, “The First Avenger: Captain America”, playing, of course, Captain America. Barrowman (who is Scottish, but [...]

Sure, every critic in the world seems to have hated the second half of Peter Berg’s “Hancock”, but blame that on the script instead of my main man Petey. I still think this guy has got great potential behind him, and I’m looking forward to his “Dune” remake like a fat kid looks forward to [...]

Check it out, comic book geeks of the ’90s — your hero, Rob Liefeld, lives! Okay, so maybe you had good taste in comic books and wasn’t a big fan of Rob Liefeld, but for the rest of you (me included, I must grudgingly admit), ol Robbie’s insanely repetitive drawing of big-breasted superhero chicks and [...]

Wow. I never thought I’d see the day when a Hollywood trade like The Hollywood Reporter, usually known for their shorthand description of pretty much everything (even when there’s no call for it, natch), describes a movie using words like “a hot, holy warrior”. And here I thought words like “hot” were reserved exclusively for [...]

Well ain’t this cute. Over a month and change after the boys at Bloody-Disgusting broke the news that Everett De Roche will write the screenplay for, and Battlestar Galactica vet Michael Rhymer will direct Top Cow’s comic book movie “Witchblade”, Variety has finally gotten around to confirming Rhymer as director. It deserves mentioning that Variety [...]

Just what we need: zombies as weapons used against the enemies. Yeah, that’ll work out real well, not-very-bright U.S. Military. Sheesh, this thing sounds like it should be a Sci Fi Channel Original Movie. Now all they need is Coolio to play the part of a badass military commando who has to go behind enemy [...]

Here’s one of those peripheral things about big-budget filmmaking that you gotta love: someone commissioned this artwork of Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter in pin-up pose for the movie, probably for a pretty penny. It shows up for a second in the movie’s trailer, but will apparently make a longer appearance in the actual movie, [...]

Okay, so $155.3 million is about $45 million less than my grand prediction of $200 million or more, but it’s still a lot. It easily makes “The Dark Knight” the biggest opener in 2008, easily beating out “Iron Man’s” $100 million and change debut. The weekend tally was also good enough to surpass the $151.1 [...]
