Sales Trailer Dead Of Night

Sales Trailer: Dead Of Night By Russ Fischer/Aug. 17, 2010 7:50 am EST We’ve wondered when we’d see a trailer for the Dylan Dog comic book adaptation Dead of Night, and now that a sales trailer has arrived, it’s easy to see why so little material has been forthcoming. This one looks pretty terrible. Already earning frequent comparisons to Buffy the Vampire Slayer thanks to over-lit scenes, TV-worthy staging and the very Buffy-like makeup, it isn’t too difficult to guess why this one doesn’t yet have distribution....

Screenwriter Hired For Mark Millar S Nemesis

Screenwriter Hired For Mark Millar’s ‘Nemesis’ By Germain Lussier/Feb. 11, 2011 11:30 am EST Movie geeks have a weird relationship with Mark Millar. We simply adore his work: Civil War, The Ultimates, Wanted and obviously Kick Ass, but we get supremely frustrated with his penchant for saying things that seem far-fetched. For example, with one of his latest comic books, Nemesis, Millar was out in force well before the release talking about how Hollywood was chomping at the bit to adapt it....

Votd Touching Vivid Animated Short Crayon Dragon

VOTD: Touching, Vivid Animated Short ‘Crayon Dragon’ By Russ Fischer/May 16, 2012 6:00 am EST CalArts animation student Toniko Pantoja might be a filmmaker to watch. The animator’s second-year project, Crayon Dragon, is a lovely little three-minute piece that has two nicely-realized characters, a wild imagination, and a good sense of depth and space. It could almost be the pitch for a good Nintendo game, but at the same time is full of the spirit of some classic Disney and Don Bluth work....

Could James Cameron Direct Cleopatra Before Avatar 2

Could James Cameron Direct ‘Cleopatra’ Before ‘Avatar 2?’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 14, 2010 2:56 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If Rudin is able to bring Cameron on board, it would make an already A List production an A+ Oscar contender. Sure, Cameron is still getting ready to write Avatar 2, is producing At the Mountains of Madness for Guillermo Del Toro as well as a 3D Fantastic Voyage remake, but when you’re James Cameron, if you want to take a few years and direct a mega budget period Angelina Jolie movie…you can do that....

Die Hard 24 7 And Fantastic Four Reborn

Die Hard 24/7 And Fantastic Four Reborn? By Peter Sciretta/June 8, 2010 10:54 pm EST Goldsman got his start in Hollywood as a screenwriter, and at one point wrote the bad Batman movies (Forever and Batman & Robin).
