Uf... to jeste filmično, al ...

Apsolutno je filmično. Džo Hil je povukao na ćaleta. 

He returned the once shunned "Batman" franchise to its rightful place at the top of the superhero film chain, now Deadline Hollywood Daily reports that "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan will try the same with the "Superman" franchise, albeit less involved.

According to the site, the studio plans to essentially reboot the franchise and have enlisted Nolan's help to 'mentor' the film's development and production. Nolan is highly unlikely to direct but would likely take on a major producer role while a more unknown but emerging promising talent to take the director's chair.

Despite being a Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures co-production like 2006's "Superman Returns", the film will NOT be a continuation of that modestly-received feature which suffered budgetary overruns and so-so box-office. The project is still very much in the earliest of developmental stages so its tone and content are as yet unknown.

New York's Vulture blog has learned that Warner Bros. to sign the Hughes brothers (From Hell, Dead Presidents, Menace II Society) to direct a live-action remake of the cult favorite Akira, from a script by Iron Man scribes Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby.

Akira is being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio's company, Appian Way, along with Andrew Lazar, who's also currently producing an adaptation of DC Comics' Jonah Hex for Warners.




In Akira, Katsuhiro Otomo presented a vision of Tokyo destroyed by war, rebuilt, and now ready to explode under the pressure of its internal strife. The movie's clashing biker gangs and heady psychic visions became an early testament to the violent, mature side of anime when the film was brought to North America in 1989.

The anime movie is currently available in North America on Blu-ray via Bandai. The manga, which was started before and finished after the anime, is available through Kodansha. The first volume of that new Kodansha release of the manga is reviewed here.

Sex And Comics On Valentine's Day
Submitted by Rich Johnston on February 14, 2010 – 9:45 am

Wicked Grounds, a coffee shop-cum-sex shop in San Francisco held an erotic comic book convention a couple of weeks ago. And rather a lot of fans of either comic books, sex, or both filled the place till it was rather... engorged.

Attending were the likes of Ted Naifeh (Courtney Crumren), Justin Hall (Glamzonia, the Uncanny Super Tranny), Serena Valentino (Gloom Cookie), Greta Christina (Best Erotic Comics), Tristan Crane (How Loathesome, Comic Book Tattoo), and Storm (Princess Witch Boy).

And they even sold coffee.

This is an unusual event in that it bucks national trends. It used to be the case that sex sold in comics. It's getting less and less true. These days adult comics are not only relegated to their own special, mostly unseen, section of Previews, but there aren't even any print versions of the catalogue any more. Fantagraphics started Eros Comix as a way to fund the continued publication of the likes of The Comics Journal, Love And Rockets, Hate and the like, but now survives mainly on backlist and other publishers' work. Certainly Robert Crumb's Bible sells far more than Wendy Whitbread ever did. And movements by Marvel and DC to move into that kind of titillation have been repeatedly knocked back, with the Marvel naked comics disappearing and Frank Cho put back in his box. Even Avatar, famed for its history publishing soft-core supernatural comics have discovered that Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis and Alan Moore sell better.

The soft core survives amongst its core base however, with the likes of Grimm's Fairy Tales and some of the odder publishers that you mostly only see at conventions. Much of this is down I'm sure to an increased sexualisation in mainstream comic books – there's less of a need to turn to XXXenophile when Emma Frost and Power Girl dress the way they do – in the same way the lad's mag has reduced demand for Penthouse. And Empowered treads that tricky line between irony and unadulterated perversion.

And it's is pure irony that at at time when there are less comic book seizures by the authorities, comic book publishers seem to push the limits less. The release of Dodgem Logic's Astounding Weird Penises mini-comic by Alan Moore was a shock, a throwback to a time of underground comix when this kind of Zap-like material was the norm. That it was so readily available then, but so rare now challenges the assumption that comics are indeed for grown ups.

Of course, there's always the foreign muck to get your hands sticky over, or indeed spunk all over your back, producing reams of Japanese filth that can get you sent down for six months, or French BD erotica, all in semen-proof glossy hardcovers, but, you know, it's all in French though isn't it? It's not quite as comic-shop available. And while there are some gloriously filthy webcomcis, this is one case where the tactile nature, portability and reading-in-bed-with-a-loved-one possibilities of printed comics gives it a true competitive edge. For now.

So we're stuck (sometimes literally) to the small press, self-published titles that can fill a Kinky Comics Con. That there are some well known names there shows how

Are comics for adults now? Or are they only for big adolescents who are happy with Power Girl but would run screaming from anything Milo Manera touches. Apart from his upcoming X-Men comic of course...

Where has the actual honest, I'm all right jack, intelligent sex comic gone? Lost Girls is the most prominent recent example of that, and that was started in the nineties – although I must recommed the three volume set for sharded bedroom reading. Are faux-orgies in Batwoman comics and superhero fight scenes traced from Hustler all all we're left with?

Sex comics can explore narrative possibilities that the lens-based passivity of traditional pornography almost always fails to. And while films have used CGI to match the imagination of superhero comic books from the sixties, pornography budgets just don't have the scope  what porn comics can achieve. Every porn comic can be a "big budget" number and all you need is a pen, some paper and a filthy mind.

If someone can find a way to push past the embarrassment, artistic and distribution factors, there might still be a fair chunk of cash on Wicked Grounds' coffee table waiting to be picked up.

Svašta se da videti na wikipediji. Na primer, danas sam posve slučajno otišao na stranicu meni dragog porno glumca Tonija Ribasa i evo šta između ostalog tamo piše:

QuoteIn 2010, he was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame.[2] A popular style of films is to put marbles up mens bums he has created a league table, and so far the winner is Duncan Proctor with 57 marbles.

Djimon Hounsou and Kevin Bacon will team on the action thriller "Elephant White" for Millennium Films says Reuters.

Hounsou will play a mercenary. Bacon is an old acquaintance of his with shifting allegiances.

Prachya Pinkaew ("Chocolate," "Ong-Bak") makes his English-language directorial debut on the film which Kevin Bernhardt penned.

Shooting kicks off March 8th in Thailand.

Baš da vidimo... Moja žena voli Kevina Bejkona pa će ovo biti prvi Pinkaewov film koga će pristati da gleda zajedno sa mnom.

Hm, videćemo šta će ovo da bude. Kast je odličan. Djimon ima martial arts chops a mislim da bi po sinopsisu i naša ljubimica mogla dobiti ulogu. Plus Bacon. Ono čega se plašim je to što će film neumitno morati da ima nekakvu priču, a tu je Pinkaew najtanji. Prosto njemu ne ide od ruke vođenje priče, razdvajanje važnog od nevažnog i sl. S druge strane, imajući u vidu ko su producenti, Pinkaew će imati priliku da dokaže kako se snalazi u uslovima totalnog producentskog lopovluka što je valjda apsolvirao na Tajlandu...

Da, Pinkaew nije neki nadahnuti storyteller, mada ume da priča na jedan basnoliki način. Ali ne verujem da će mu ta vrsta pripovedanja biti tolerisana ovde...

In April, movie and comic book fans will get a chance to see director Sylvain (Stomp the Yard) White's take on the Vertigo Comics series The Losers, which promises to be fairly faithful to the comics by Andy Diggle and Jock about a team of rogue espionage agents.

Quite some time before he became attached to do that, White's name was attached to an adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novel Ronin to be produced by Warner Bros. and the producers behind 300. "Ronin" was Miller's earliest work published by DC Comics in 1983, a few years before "The Dark Knight Returns," the story of a Japanese ronin from feudal times reincarnated in a futuristic New York.

Earlier today, when ComingSoon.net/SuperHeroHype spoke with White, we wondered if he might get back to that now that he's wrapping things up on The Losers. "Yeah absolutely," he responded. "That's something I had to let go of for a period of time while I was directing 'The Losers' but I'm back here in Los Angeles and as I'm finishing post-production on 'The Losers,' I will be diving back into the development of 'Ronin.' I'm just working along with the studio executives developing the story elements and they're attaching a writer in the spring to do a new pass on it."

"It's a very complex graphic novel and it needs very careful attention," he continued, "Of course to make a movie of that scale, you need a lot of money to pay it justice, especially with the incredible visuals that Frank Miller has in it, but at the same time, in order to get a lot of money to make the movie, it has to have enough commercial appeal, so I'm trying to balance those two things together to make the movie accessible but still smart and throw with all the great ideas and grand ideas that it has. Conceptually, it's such an amazing property, so I think it's strong appeal in that sense, and even for people, I think visually in the trailer, people will be gravitating towards that kind of subject matter and that kind of character, it's amazing."

"I'm taking my time with it," he said. "If I'm able to stay on it and develop it the way I want, I just want it to be done right. I don't want to rush it or anything like that. I want the right writer on it and it to be done carefully. So that is one of the projects I have in development."

Since White has been getting artist Jock involved with The Losers, we wondered whether he had any similar plans to collaborate or get notes from Frank Miller for Ronin. "We have been in contact," he said. "The producers, which is Gianni Nunnari and Hollywood Gang, have been very collaborative and obviously have worked with because they did 300, so the link is there. We
re just sort of at an early stage where we're trying to structure the story and balance. It's a whole process to get it right. Some people rush and do it quickly and you end up with bad adaptations, which happens all the time. If they give me the time to do it, I will take it to do it right. There have been drafts that were ready to go supposedly but I want to take my time to make sure that it's just good. The fanbase out there for this particularly iconic graphic (novel) is scrutinizing the project and I also don't want to let them down."

Ovaj Tekken... mislim da možemo da se složimo da je to katastrofa u najavi.

A ovaj Losers... Ni tu se ne nadam mnogo dobrom. Ali možda je to zato što ne znam ko je Silvijan Vajt.

The $320,000 European Propaganda Comic That Actually Looks Quite Good

A hardback glossy comic book for a dollar? Sounds like a bargain right?

Not if you're the Taxpayer's Alliance in the UK. And are complaining about the 400,000 print run for a new graphic novella created by the European Union and distributed free to individuals and schools across the continent. The bill naturally picked up by the taxpayer.

Hidden Disaster is a new BD album created by Erik Bongers,

The graphic novel follows the adventures of the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO) as it struggles to secure funding for the fictional state of Borduvia, which has been devastated by an earthquake.

Written and drawn by famed comic book creator Erik Bongers, Hidden Disaster tells the story of the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office, as it gets involved with the fictitious European country Borduvia, hit by an earthquake and suffering a humanitarian crisis.

The book sees protagonisst Zana and Max, heroicazlly following official procedure for maximum efficiency in order to deal with the problem, both on the ground and in the Brussels offices, negotiating with bnoth government and rebel groups over aid. Which leads to gripping exchanges such as
Tesjang: So are there many people from the European Commission here?

Zana: No the aid is channelled through organisations like UNICEF or Oxfam. When the Commission finances them, they become what we call our 'implementing partners'.

And mission updates such as;
The Commissioner has already approved three million euros in fast track aid... She sees no problem in having a follow-up funding decision ... provided the needs are clearly identified.

There's also romantic opportunity as Zana encounters rugged misogynist photographer Dave Clancey on their trip to a rebel camp, Dave asking "What's a European woman doing in a place like this?" Naturally Zana shows him - but waits until the aid is flowing before she begins the inevitable romantic liason...

The involvement in the group in Boruvia is very different to Haiti of course, where the EU have a billion dollars in aid but didn't actually visit the country and allowed the US to take control of the aid response.

The success of ECHO in Borduvia is in stark contrast to criticism levelled at the EU over its handling of the earthquake in Haiti to which it pledged £535 million. Baroness Ashton, the European Union's foreign minister, was widely criticised for failing to visit Haiti and allowing the US to take command of the international aid response. In the fictional world the Americans don't even get a look in. The book has been printed in English, French, German, Italian and Dutch and with Polish and Spanish translations expected.

And, predictably, the TaxPayers' Alliance kick off, chief executive Matthew Elliott saying "It is deeply immoral to use taxpayers' money to promote the EU to children" without realising that the priciple audience for BD albums in Europe is adults.

He continues;

"This is pure political propaganda aimed at kids, which is a classic tactic of corrupt and unaccountable regimes down the ages. The EU seems to think it can buy itself popularity, but instead it simply makes itself look more out of touch and wasteful."

Indian actress Freida Pinto ("Slumdog Millionaire") Has joined the cast of the Greek mythology epic "War of the Gods" for Relativity Media and Universal Pictures reports Variety.

"The Tudors" star Henry Cavill plays Theseus, a young warrior who leads both men and the Olympian gods in a battle to defeat the Titans, the long-imprisoned former deities who plan to use demons to restore their power.

Pinto plays Phaedra, an oracle priestess who joins Theseus' quest. Tarsem Singh helms the project described as a "hardcore action film done in Renaissance painting style" with modern touches.

Jason Keller penned the script's most recent draft while Gianni Nunnar, Mark Canton and Ryan Kavanaugh will produce. Shooting kicks off in April.

"Batman Begins" and "Blade" scribe David Goyer has been hired to pen "The Man of Steel", the new Superman film at Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures reports Latino Review.

Goyer apparently has "an idea that actually takes the movies back to the John Byrne incarnation. Modern. Believable. FUN!". This incarnation would have no link to "Superman Returns", so Brandon Routh will not star and Bryan Singer won't direct.

Their source even went into detail about what to expect content-wise - "I can tell you that Goyer's story involves Luthor and Brainiac. It is NOT an origin and assumes audiences already know about Lois, Clark, Jimmy and Perry. I know the Daily Planet is struggling due to the internet. And I know it sets up a huge Kryptonian mythology."

The source also indicates that "Wanted" and "Kick Ass" author Mark Millar's comments about 'almost' getting a new trilogy pitch of his considered are "bullsh*t... he was never even discussed to write it."

The hiring of Goyer is not a big surprise after the news a few weeks back that "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" director Chris Nolan had been brought onboard to produce and oversee a restart of the Superman franchise. Goyer and Nolan co-wrote 'Begins' and Goyer scored a story credit on 'Knight' which Chris and his brother Jonah Nolan co-penned.

When Goyer announced a few weeks ago that he was leaving the day-to-day showrunning of "FlashForward" to concentrate on script work, many jumped on the idea that the work in question was a third Nolan-directed Batman. Instead it's likely that film will follow the 'Knight' formula with Goyer and Nolan planning the story and the Nolan brothers going off to write the script while Goyer works on this and/or other projects.

The 'John Byrne incarnation' of Superman mentioned above refers to acclaimed author/comic writer Byrne's reboot of the character in the comics in 1986 in a six-part mini-series entitled, funnily enough, 'The Man of Steel'. Byrne took the character back to basics by significantly reducing Superman's powers. In this incarnation his foster parents are still alive, Clark Kent himself is more of an extrovert, there is no Fortress of Solitude and people are unaware of Superman having an alter-ego (thus aren't suspicious of Kent).

Da, Byrneov post-crisis Man of Steel ima mnogo smisla u pogledu filmovanja (samo da ne preteraju sa frizurom koja je u ono vreme umela da bude prilično skandalozna) jer su mu redukovane moći davale više potencijala za zanimljive zaplete.

No, ovo Millarovo me je iznenadilo, šta bi sa njegovim tvrdnjama da je bleklistovan kod DC-ja (a time i, valjda kod Warnera) posle pravljenja sranja u The Authority???

Millar kaže:

Awesome for Goyer. He's a brilliant writer and a mate of mine so feel this could not be in better hands.

But I must stress that the "inside info" on my relationship to the movie is nonsense. I've said on record that WB had direct and serious talks with Vaughn and Vaughn was only doing it if we did it together. This didn't work out and we're doing something else, but the notion that it's fiction is insane. I can say on record that Vaughn had meetings with them about our ideas over a year ago.

I can't stand these massive declarations coming from "unknown sources". I've always liked Latino Review so this is quite uncool.

Andrew Koenig, who played the Joker in the above fan film "Batman: Dead End" as well as the son of Star Trek's Walter "Chekov" Koenig, was found dead in a marsh in Vancouver late Wednesday night, as an apparent suicide. Andrew was apparently extremely depressed prior to this. "If you are one of those people who can't handle it any more, know people are out there who really care before you make that final decision," Walter Koenig told the Telegraph afterwards. "Talk to somebody."

Pripremam se da overi RAGING PHOENIX. Jesi li ga ti gledao?

Evo mog osvrta na Raging Phoenix:

Warner Bros. Pictures is in negotiations with Japanese company Taito to score the film rights to 80's video game classic "Space Invaders" says The Los Angeles Times.

The game itself, which first came out in 1978 and is essentially the first 'shooter' video game ever invented, followed the basic premise of a ship destroying increasingly fast alien invaders before they touch the ground. A feature film will have to expand considerably on that leaving the filmmaker a lot of leeway to tell whatever story they want.

Mark Gordon, Jason Blum and Guymon Casady will produce. The film joins other classic video games turned films currently in development including "Asteroids" at Universal and "Missile Command" at Fox.

Um... ali zar nije Taito u vlasništvu Square-Enix??? Mislim, retoričko pitanje, naravno da jeste. Square-Enix su adresa na koju se treba obratiti za potrebe ove licence, a oni su zajebani igrači.

Ne uspevam da dokučim zašto bi neko ekranizovao SPACE INVADERS...

Pa, već su ekranizovali Super Mario Bros., tako da, zbog kompletnosti.
