1996... It really does feel like a combination of last year and a life time ago - all at once. Next year AICN turns 15 years old. That's crazy. It is really crazy to think about how long I've been doing AICN, I love it, but it became a lifestyle for me. Hell, it is a lifestyle for a lot of folks. I meet them at events I throw. There was this one redheaded guy, maybe early 20s, that I ran into at COMIC CON that hugged me and told me I gave him his brain. That's crazy.

In 2010, I'm still waiting to make CONTACT WITH THE ALIENS... but I've been wildly nostalgic this year. Why? Well, part of it is a build up to AICN's 15th year. Part of it is that I'm able to see 40 as an impending age that will be related to me. Part of it has to do with taking over FAMOUS MONSTERS online... and still part of it came from my near death experience this year... but coming out of THE MIDDLE MEN - I really really had a nostalgic swing as I thought about that specific time that I forged a life from.

The real birth of the Internet. Sure, the Net had been around long before Al Gore had anything to do with it. And Science and Educators have a history going back online for decades. But the real internet. What the kids do, what I do... That was 1996, when suddenly you could enter your credit card information securely, safely - and gain access to... PORN. MASSIVE FUCKING AMOUNTS OF PORN.

Let's all be honest for a bit here... we spend time watching other people fucking. It's true. And for a very long period of time - the only way to see cool fresh and hot porn was by entering in your credit card information. Or you're parents' credit card info (kids you shouldn't do that). This was long before the days of YouPorn. And oddly enough, I was shocked when I went over to that glorious free porn site - loaded up the shocking real party - where women apparently party with male strippers and openly have sex. Which makes me think Women party crazier than men. But I was trying to investigate this "Girls Night Out" phenomenon because... I like to be educated - when suddenly an ad came up for the Paramount distributed studio film, THE MIDDLE MEN.

Now - I like to think that I've kept my stinky finger on the pulse of porn online, but I do believe this was the first time I was seeing a STUDIO DISTRIBUTED FILM advertising on one of the major FREE PORN delivery sites. Made me wonder if the MPAA was aware. But it seemed wholly appropriate to me. After all - they should be selling the movie that created the online business of not just PORN - but everything.

For those of us that set up foundations and built a space online 15 years ago - it was crazy times. In the first 4 years of this site, I was continually offered tens of millions of dollars to sell my site. Before that - in the earliest of days - I had a guy that was hosting AICN try to force me into illegal activities - and when I refused - he erased half a year of my life. Those were crazy days. Nobody knew anything and everybody knew it all.

THE MIDDLE MEN is a very key point in history - that might seem trivial - until you think about modern society. The main characters in this film were perverted tech nerds that were creating things because they didn't exist yet. That's why I created AICN, it was because I wanted some place like it and at the time, nobody was doing much that appealed to me online. Well, these guys happened to think up FIRST and develop and implement the ability to conduct a secure online credit card transaction, with the notion of getting people to buy porn online. This once incident laid the groundwork to the very real commerce in the realm of surrealistate. They got involved with the Russian MOB, before getting involved with everybody and everyone.

The idea of a film about the guys that wrote the first ONLINE CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION SOFTWARE... sounds terribly boring... but as Fincher's trailers for THE SOCIAL NETWORK have hinted... the online world is anything but boring, because it touches EVERYTHING.

People are killed. The Highest Levels of Government Cooperation. These men seem like grotesque evil characters. I mean. They made it so you could see porn without ever looking anyone in the eye. But by doing that. They made it so we could do all the things we do online. Like... paying our bills, AMAZON, i-TUNES - you start thinking about it. They started that process in the Online world. How has that changed the world?

Then they make a movie about it all.... and the result is something that I'd love to watch as a double feature with BLOW. Some of you may remember that I lost my fool mind for Ted Demme's last cinematic effort - and while that was about the guy that opened up the COKE pipeline into the United States - this, well... this is a story about how the world suddenly needed faster modems - because well, people will pay anonymously for porn. And the filmmakers realized that the story wasn't in all the crazy excess that Giovanni Ribisi and Gabriel Macht were reveling in. No, the story was in the Straight Man's story. The guy with the mid-America family. The guy that didn't want to be involved, but saw the business sense of it all. Who understood how to take the lunacy of these burnt out Rocket Scientist and make it one of the most valuable 'widgets' ever created.

The "ride" of this film is a success story about 3 guys that were all headed to the top - but only one of them was prepared for it - and even he didn't quite handle it all right. But damn it is an exciting thing when it happens, when you realize you started something that has grown wildly out of your modest expectations. I've seen that to a degree... but here, you're talking about Richie Rich kinda money. With ties to porn, banking and the federal government. It is fascinating. It is all absolutely believable. And there's lots of premium boobage.

The fact is - this is a very fun story about one of the great Right Place, Right Time stories. And by the end of the movie I couldn't believe that the three main characters were alive. People tend to die in situations that these characters find themselves in. And they're alive. And I'm glad. The guys that monetized internet and porn - deserve to reach old age. Right? Shouldn't they? I think so.

Now - in a film filled with hot chicks, 3 crazy guys... it is filled with cool fave actors like Robert Forster, Kelsey Grammer, Terry Crews, James Caan and Kevin Pollak - oh - and I love this guy, he plays the Russian Mafia "dude" in the film, Rade Sebedzija, you may remember him as the Homeless guy that Bruce Wayne gave his coat to, or a Boris "The Blade" in SNATCH - but you've seen him in a TON OF STUFF. He's one of the go to Russian Character Actors - and he's great here.

Oh - and the soundtrack is outstanding. That helps with a movie that is trying to pass on a beat and a rhythm to the life you're seeing. The three main characters - you may claim to not want to be any of them, but you can't deny how that'd be one helluva story to have lived. About the time Jacinda Barrett's website gets the CIA interested - your brain is gonna go into "HOLY SHIT MODE". I promise. I don't know if any of that is true, but I certainly hope so. If porn is helping keep America safe at night, they should get the proper credit.

This is a very entertaining film. Feels odd coming out in a summer. This is Hard R entertainment about something that was done out of the most base reasons... it helped fund the Russian Mob, but it did a lot of worthwhile things too. I'm sure it did. Fairly positive. This is a great modern American success story.

I find it endlessly fascinating that the software for processing a credit card transaction online wasn't invented by a bank or some credit institution. That it came down to a couple guys trying to sell dirty pics online. That's classic. That's the joke of it all. It is hilarious, epic and apparently it is all true.

If you were online in 1995-1997 - you know it is all true. It is an absurd story of ludicrous success and that's a pretty terrific good time.

roducer Lloyd Levin ("Watchmen," "Hellboy") has scored the film rights to part of Matt Wagner's classic 1980's comicbook series "Mage" reports Variety.

Levin acquired the rights to the fifteen-book collection that makes up "The Hero Discovered" story arc.
A reinterpretation of the Camelot legend, the story follows an alienated young man who learns he has superhuman abilities. With the help of a magic baseball bat, he must stop the evil Umbra Sprite.

The project was previously in development at Spyglass with Zack Snyder attached to direct. Levin and Andrew Cosby will produce and a writer is close to being locked in.

Director D.J. Caruso ("Eagle Eye," "Disturbia") tells MTV News that the film adaptation of the hit sci-fi/horror video game "Dead Space" is still in the early stages.

The game is set in the 26th century in deep space, where an engineer who responds to a distress signal from a mining ship finds the vessel infested with monstrous creatures called Necromorphs. The creatures are human corpses, reanimated by an alien virus.

"We don't have a writer for it yet, but... right before I left we were listening to different writers and taking different pitches. We have to decide on a couple once we get back what we're going to do. We've tried to crack the story a few different ways, so I know when we get back we're going to get into it and I feel like we'll have a screenplay in a few months" says Caruso.

They seem to have an idea of where to go, namely a prequel - "We've got a really good sort of storyline. It's almost a prequel, sort of, to where the game picks up... You have have the whole sort of brainwash-y/Scientology thing and ultimately the Necromorphs. It's interesting to try to get the major studios to understand that this isn't Event Horizon."

Said prequel will probably avoid trying to resemble the animated direct-to-DVD feature "Dead Space: Downfall" which came out around the time of the first game. The game's sequel, "Dead Space 2", is scheduled to hit stores in January.

Mislm na tebe svaki dan. Vidi, Pilgrim izlazi desetog u Sjevernoj Americi i nadam se dan ili dva kasnije na PAL teritorijima, u koje mi spadamo. Ja ne mogu da kupim američku igru preko svog lažnog USA naloga jer PSN neće prihvatiti moju kreditnu karticu kao autentično američku tako da ću je kupiti preko UK naloga (za koji mogu da kupim funte na prilično bizaran način). Problem je što se ja vraćam tek osamnaestog sa mora. Tako da računaj da se igramo tamo negde oko dvadesetog ako igra do tada izađe za PAL teritorije.
It's a date!
Naravno, ja sam spreman da snosim bar deo troškova (ako ne i celu cifru!) jer ti to ipak kupuješ zbog mene, a Pilgrim stripa se gnušaš. Doduše, to onda povlači sa sobom i moje česte posete tvojoj rezidenciji, jer meni treba dosta vremena da "savladam" igru.

A za Skota Pilgrima nema potrebe da snosiš išta (za snošaje ćemo već da se dogovorimo), kupio bih ga ja i inače jer privjui izgledaju primamljivo. Čak nisam kupio Wolf of the Battlefield da bi mi ostalo dovoljno para u walletu kad se vratim da uzmem Skota Pilgrima - to je dokaz da me igra dženjuinli zanima.

U.S. attends Hiroshima bombing ceremony for first time

QuoteJapan marked the 65th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Friday with the United States represented at the ceremony for the first time.

A peace bell tolled at 8:15 a.m., the time the bomb was dropped by the U.S. B-29 warplane Enola Gay on August 6, 1945, as tens of thousands of elderly survivors, children and dignitaries held a minute of silence under the burning summer sun.

"Clearly, the urgency of nuclear weapons abolition is permeating our global conscience," Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba said in a speech followed by the release of white doves.

The Hiroshima bomb, nicknamed "Little Boy," released a mix of shockwaves, heat rays and radiation, killing thousands instantly.

By the end of 1945, the death toll had risen to some 140,000 out of an estimated population of 350,000. Thousands more died of illness and injuries later.

Three days after the Hiroshima attack, on August 9, 1945, the United States dropped a second nuclear bomb on the city of Nagasaki in southern Japan. Japan surrendered six days later, ending the military aggression that brought it into World War Two.

The United States, recently involved in a row with Tokyo over the relocation of a U.S. air base on the southern Japan island of Okinawa, sent a representative to the ceremony for the first time, reflecting President Barack Obama's push to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

"For the sake of future generations, we must continue to work together to realise a world without nuclear weapons," U.S. Ambassador John Roos said in a statement.

Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year in part for his vision of a nuclear-free world, signed a strategic arms agreement with Russia in April that commits the former Cold War foes to cut deployed nuclear warheads by about 30 percent.

"We see new leadership from the most powerful nations," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the ceremony, the first time a U.N. leader has attended. "We must keep up this momentum."

Japanese media reports have said a panel of expert advisers will soon urge Japan to loosen its ban on allowing nuclear weapons into the country, as the government plans a defence review by the end of the year.

But Prime Minister Naoto Kan said on Friday that Japan would stick to its self-imposed ban on the possession, production and import of nuclear arms.

Some conservative politicians, wary of giant neighbour China's growing military might, have called for a debate on Japan having its own nuclear weapons, although there is little support among the broader public.

"We want nuclear disarmament, and if the United States takes the lead other countries may follow its steps," said Tomiko Matsumoto, a 78-year-old atomic bomb survivor.

"First I hated them (the United States), but that hatred has disappeared. Now I want to see a peaceful world."

After deadly clashes, Thai opposition regroups

QuoteOn a stage in a muddy soccer field in Thailand's rural heartlands, an opposition leader declared to thousands he would bring back toppled premier Thaksin Shinawatra from exile if his party is voted back into power. Skip related content
That vow by Puea Thai Party's Chalerm Ubumrung signals trouble ahead in a polarising political crisis that turned deadly on the streets of Bangkok in April and May as thousands of "red shirt" supporters of the deposed Thaksin clashed with troops.

Hundreds of red shirts have been detained under emergency rule since the unrest that killed 91 people, mostly protesters, and wounded nearly 2,000. Several opposition websites, radio stations and a TV broadcaster were shut. Red-shirt bank accounts have been frozen. Protest leaders face terrorism charges.

Emergency rule has helped to restore order in Bangkok and many areas. But in the rice-growing farmlands of Si Sa Ket bordering Cambodia and other provinces where the decree has been lifted, Thailand's political opposition is regrouping.

The fiery rhetoric at the recent campaign stop in Si Sa Ket, 600 km (370 miles) northeast of Bangkok, illustrates how issues that exploded into violence in May remain at the heart of Thailand's anti-government movement -- from charges of class warfare to reverence of populist multimillionaire Thaksin.

They also demonstrate how the anti-government movement is shifting from street-protest tactics to election campaigning, while retaining, at least in the heartlands, one of their most controversial goals: the return of the twice-elected Thaksin.

"If you want everyone to be treated the same way under the eye of the law, vote Puea Thai! If you want to see democracy and equality, vote Puea Thai! If you want Thaksin back, vote Puea Thai!," Chalerm told cheering supporters.

CONTENTIOUS ELECTIONS

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has said elections could be held early next year if the political situation is stable. His Democrat Party hopes heavy government spending and economic stimulus packages will lift its popularity.

"If we win back power through yet another election, what are they going to do? What trick do they have in the hat this time?" Chalerm told Reuters on the sideline of the campaign.

He was referring to a coup that ousted twice-elected Thaksin in 2006 and several court rulings which toppled two prime ministers and disbanded two parties allied with him, paving the way for Abhisit's rise in 2008 with tacit military backing.

Puea Thai said it is confident it could win back at least 255 in the 480-seat lower house, enough to form a single-party government. But analysts say the election is likely to be contentious and winning a landslide would be difficult.

"While people's voting pattern won't change, horse-trading of parliamentarians will be key in determining who forms the government," said Karn Yuenyong, an analyst at the independent Siam Intelligence Unit..

A 32-seat Bhumjai Thai Party, allied with the government, is poised to win 50-60 seats in the next poll after defections from several parties. It campaigns on a royalist platform, accusing Thaksin of harbouring a republican agenda, a taboo in Thailand.

But convincing the rural voters to reject Thaksin's allies won't be easy.

Puea Thai is campaigning on Thaksin's populist platforms such cheap loans and universal healthcare. The ruling Democrats have adopted similar measures but the opposition can win by tapping public discontent about the status quo in the power structure.

That sums up their main selling point: the rehabilitation of the controversial and divisive Thaksin and the promise to end what the red shirt protesters view as "double standards" in law enforcement and the dominance of the ruling elite in politics.

"I will vote for them no matter what, because they will bring back Thaksin," said Metha Panchaisi, a 55-year-old rice farmer, who attended the rally.

"I want to see how they will discard our votes this time. Another coup? Another court ruling? What now?."

Laurence Fishburne's Daughter: I've Always Wanted to Be a Porn Star

Laurence Fishburne's daughter is speaking out about her controversial decision to enter the entertainment industry by becoming a porn star.

"Being in an adult film is not a big deal to me," Montana Fishburne, 18, tells PEOPLE. "It's something I always wanted to do. I have always been comfortable in my body and with my sexuality."

And no, she's not hoping her adult film, which will be released by Vivid Entertainment on Aug. 10, will spawn a mainstream acting career. "I am not in porn to get into acting. I am in porn because I wanted to be in porn," she says bluntly.

The daughter of the CSI star, an Academy Award nominated actor, said she didn't seek her parents' approval before signing on for the film.

"I had already filmed it by the time they knew so I didn't give them a chance to talk me out of it," says Montana, who moved out of her father's house last year upon turning 18, "so I could pursue what I want to do without being constrained by them."

Her father is understandably devastated, she confesses.

"I hear through relatives that he's upset but I haven't talked to him directly for him to tell me his feelings," she admits, saying that when she did break the news, he reacted with stunned silence.

"I hope it's not hurting him. It wasn't done to hurt him," she says. "But I think it will take time and talking through the issues. Eventually, I hope he will be proud of me."

A rep for Laurence Fishburne declined to comment.

Okay, it's late, it's two am here in Old London Town, and the Mark Millar big news, currently queued up at a much greater regarded website, has not yet gone up. So it's time to take a punt. After all this is meant to be a rumour and gossip site isn't it? Okay. (BC's scoop has now been confirmed. See update below)

I'm told that the announcement is definitely Nemesis being optioned and a director to be named.

The name most mentioned to me tonight by some very good sources in a far sunnier timezone to my own, is that it is Tony Scott, director of movies such as Top Gun and Beverley Hills Cop II, is to direct the movie based on his comic book with Steve McNiven, Nemesis, currently on its second issue.

Tony Scott, younger brother of Ridley Scott is also known for directing Crimson Tide , The Last Boy Scout, True Romance,  Enemy of the State, Man on Fire and Déjà Vu.

Previously, Millar has worked with directors relatively new to Hollywood, or outside the usual system. If they've got Tony Scott then that's someone decidedly old school and respectable, known for both over-the-top action sequences, strong character scenes and blatant homoeroticism.

Sounds pretty much perfect for Nemesis to me!

For those not totally au fait, Nemesis is a Marvel-published  creator-owned comic by Scottish writer Mark Millar and Canadian artist Steve McNiven. Relatively new, Nemesis tells the story of a Batman-alike bad guy and crime lord who intends to take down the country's best known policeman in as an entertaining and calculatingly planned fashion as he can.

Previous films based on Millar's comics include Wanted and Kick Ass, and the DVD animations Ultimate Avengers. The pair created the Marvel series Civil War a few years ago, which represents a high point in sales for recent superhero comic books.

I contacted Harris Miller, attorney to both Steve McNiven and Mark Millar, but he refused to comment on this story. Good thing too.

UPDATE: TOLDJ...I mean RESPECTFULLY, WE INFORMED YOU OF THIS EVENT AT AN EARLIER JUNCTURE. Deadline New York has just confirmed that Tony Scott is attached as director to Nemesis for Fox. Scott Free is set to produce, according to Deadline.

UPDATE 2: Mark Millar posts more about this on Millarworld:

    Bryan Hitch and I would reference Tony on a weekly basis when we were doing The Ultimates. Our dream was an Ultimates movie with Scott directing because he can do the character work and the intensity, but also handle scale and action like practically no other. The idea of a him helming a superhero movie had us giddy and here he is directing the one Steve McNiven and I created

Oscar winner Christoph Waltz is reportedly in talks to play The Lizard, the supposed antagonist of the upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot for Sony Pictures reports The Playlist.

In the comics, Curt Connors is a Florida surgeon who lost an arm during a stint in the army. Returning to civilian life as a research technologist, he tried to re-grow his amputated arm using an experiment in reptilian limb regeneration. The procedure worked but eventually turned him into The Lizard.

Waltz's "Inglourious Basterds" co-star Michael Fassbender was previously sought for the role, but he opted instead to play Magneto in "X-Men: First Class" for Fox.

Andrew Garfield is so far the only confirmed cast member in the Marc Webb-directed production.

It's generally known that after "The Avengers", Marvel Studios is looking into making smaller-budgeted films based around their second and third-tier characters.

Talking with MTV News, Marvel's Kevin Feige was asked about what titles could be developed for films post-"Avengers" aside from the already announced "Runaways" adaptation.

"I think what Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction have done with 'Iron Fist' lately is exciting. I think 'Black Panther' and Wakanda has some amazing potential to be a feature film. 'Doctor Strange,' as you've mentioned. There are some obscure titles, too, like 'Guardians of the Galaxy.' I think they've been revamped recently in a fun way in the book" says Feige.

Asked if Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) would get his own film, Feige says "I think the answer is yes... I think S.H.I.E.L.D. could be it's own franchise. I think, frankly, 'The Avengers' is going to be told from that point of view more so than any of the other films at that point, so we're going to get an inside look [at how S.H.I.E.L.D.] operates."

Michael Schwarz On Radical, Full Clip

    *

By Garth Franklin Tuesday August 10th 2010 12:51AM

If there's one thing I don't really cover at the annual San Diego Comic Con, it's comics oddly enough. With so many film and television-related panels going on these days, the launch of comic titles or labels themselves often get lost in the milieu of sound bites from a geek-exalted filmmaker or visiting major celeb who let slip quotes about their next project whilst helping the studio pimp out their current one.

The main reason though is that Dark Horizons is a film, and to a lesser extent a TV, DVD & Blu-ray site. Video games, technology, comics or fandom in general doesn't fall under my purview unless there is a film-related component. This year however one such opportunity presented itself - Radical Studios.

Back in early July it was announced that Sam Worthington, the hunky Aussie thesp who has become an international household name faster than you can say iPad, had formed the production company Full Clip Productions with his fellow Australian cohorts Michael and John Schwarz. The trio had also signed a deal with LA-based Radical to team on comic/film related projects.

What was interesting though about the deal was that it wasn't about just straight up adaptations of existing titles from the growing Radical Publishing library. Rather the aim was to discover and cultivate properties they were all excited about and develop them into whatever form suits it best be it comics, one-off graphic novels, etc. and eventually films in certain cases.

More importantly though the guys seemed very adamant about getting good quality stories and original properties developed properly and not as a vehicle for any future film/series/game spin-offs. Their mission statement is to make Full Clip & Radical a place for good ideas rather than vanity projects, and with the deal they have in place they have the time to develop properties in a natural way that will help them flourish to their full potential.

At the time of the announcement there was a small press conference at the Radical offices in early July where all three talked about their general plans for the label to select genre press. Sadly I was still in Sydney at the time and missed the opportunity to participate. A little over a week later though I hit the ground in Los Angeles and San Diego, and on the second full day of Comic Con I was offered the opportunity for a one-on-one with Michael Schwarz.

Navigating your way through the 130,000 strong crowd of the convention center is as hard as it sounds. Walking down your average laneway, I passed by a Stan Lee impersonator on the left, and the real Stan Lee and his entourage on the right. After brushing past various people who really shouldn't be wearing spandex, and a male model in a "Tron Legacy" bodysuit giving me a downright unsettling stare that would've gotten Jeffrey Dahmer aroused, I arrived at the surprisingly spacious Radical booth.

A quick chat with Radical's marketing director led me to Schwarz himself. Relaxed and affable, the fellow Australian was making his second sojourn to Comic Con after his first trip last year lead to him meeting contacts, such as film producer Barry Levine, which played a big part in forming Full Clip. Of the trio, Michael is the one with the greatest knowledge of comics and admits he was the one that got Sam into comics in the first place, a field the "Avatar" actor has become much more familiar with since that introduction.

It all began with "The Last Days of American Crime", an existing Radical title that Schwarz found at last year's Comic Con and began to develop into a film adaptation with both Radical and Levine. During development, Schwarz pitched to Levine an original title he and his brother came up with a few years beforehand called "Damaged" and Levine suggested an 'imprint deal' which would allow the Schwarz's to create up to three titles a year that Radical would pick up and publish. Soon after, Full Clip was born.

"'Damaged' is the one moving ahead fastest" says Schwarz. The first title in their deal, the six-issue series "Damaged" follows two cops, one of whom becomes a vigilante. There's also themes of redemption, brotherhood, paternal family drama, etc. all set in a "violent, noir-style world". "Stray Bullets" creator David Lapham is helping write the comic, and the first issue is currently scheduled for release next February.

"Patriots" is the second title which was created by Worthington himself and is still in early stages. Currently seeking writers, Schwarz admits one of his favourite authors had just signed onto the title though he couldn't reveal who just yet. He describes the story as "massive in scope, deals with big big questions and issues".

A stand-alone graphic novel, "Patriots" posits the idea that one of the world's continents must be sacrificed for the rest to survive and how people deal with that decision. Upon hearing the concept I immediately say that it'll always be us (Australia) that'll get the chop which Schwarz laughs at.

Asked about Worthington's involvement in the process, he says Sam is "very very heavily involved.. he doesn't know how not to get involved". He adds that Sam's fingerprints are all over "Damaged" just as he and his brother are heavily involved in "Patriots", "I think he felt a bit left out with 'Damaged' so we had to let him get involved" says an amused Schwarz.

The third title they're working on is an illustrated novel by Jeannie Schwarz described as very "Coraline"-esque and more kid-friendly, something his nephews can read. They're also acquiring other properties but can't really reveal which ones presently as the deals aren't locked down yet. Despite Sam's involvement on the comics front, he won't necessarily be involved in the film spin-offs or adaptations that come from these properties.

Asked if there were any famed comic writers he'd love to get onboard on titles, Schwarz cites Garth Ennis, Grant Morrison and Joshua Dysart amongst his favorite authors and hopes to some day get to work with them. For now though their current titles are keeping them quite occupied.

Outside of their Full Clip deal, Radical Studios itself is pushing hard and fast with other film related comic adaptations including Sam Raimi's "Earp: Saints for Sinners", Joseph Kosinski's "Oblivion", "Shrapnel", Infinitum Nihil's "Calber", Darren Lynn Bousman's "Abattoir" and Imagine Entertainment's "Legends" all in active development.

Krljić

Gospodin Jovan Grbić iz Ciriha se javio i drugi put da nam zahvali za podatke o svom i poreklu dvojice svojih prijatelja, Desnice i Ćulibrka, i uzgred zamolio za objašnjenje još jednog prezimena - Krljić. Nedavno ga je, kad je bio u Srbiji, u Pančevu, porodični prijatelj Milo Krljić, kome se pohvalio da je preko "Vesti" dobio odgovor o svom poreklu, zamolio da i za njega zatraži objašnjenje njegovog prezimena i korena.
Gospodin Krljić je rođen 1935. godine u selu Lipa kod Bihaća, a slavi Đurđevdan.
Oni su jedna od familija koji slave Đurđevdan sa sastava Like, Dalmacije i Bosne - koji su se često preseljavali čas na jednu, čas na drugu stranu, zavisno od istorijskih okolnosti ili sezonskih stočarskih kretanja. Milan Karanović za njih kaže da pripadaju užoj grupi familija Mihailović-Pepić-Stojić, koja ima ukupno pet prezimena - pored nabrojanih, to su i Krljići, Zmijanci i Gajići-Dragorajci i Skulari, a kojih je u Pounju posle Prvog svetskog rata bilo u ukupno 53 domaćinstva, od kojih Krljići 17 u tri naselja.
Inače, ove porodice su odavno međusobno razrođene, jer je izbledelo predanje o njihovom zajedničkom poreklu.
Krljića ima naseljenih u Ćoralićima u blizini Cazina, slave Đurđevdan. Predak im je, kao "dovodac" došao s majkom udovom iz Lipe, sa Tromeđe, pre bune 1875. godine.
Milan Radeka, u "Karlovačkom vladičanstvu", beleži Krliće sa slavama Đurđevdan i Aranđelovdan, što znači da ih je bilo u Lici, Baniji, Kordunu, Kapelskom i Gatskom.
U "Plemenskom rječniku ličko-krbavske županije", Krlići su, početkom 20. veka, popisani kao žitelji sela Vrela, na Zrmanji.
U "Leksiku prezimena SR Hrvatske", po podacima posle plovine prošlog veka i pre ratova na prostoru bivše SFRJ, Krljića je bilo samo u Donjem Rajiću, kod Novske, a Krlića u nizu mesta - Vrbovljani (Nova Gradiška), Daruvar, Mlaka (Novska), Nadvrelo (Gračac), Nova Gradiška, Novo Selo (Ludbreg), Osojnik (Dubrovnik), Pakrac, Slavonska Požega, Stare Plavnice (Bjelovar) i Šljivovac (Vrginmost). U Zagrebu je bila jedna porodica Krličbegović, verovatno od familije onih poislamljenih Krlića iz turske tvrđave Pećin-grada, kod Cazina.
Prezime su, verovatno, pre dobili po turskoj reči krlič, odnosno krluč, za vrstu mača ili sablje, nego po krlju ili krlji, izrazu za gomilu drva. U "Rečniku turcizama" stoji da od reči krlič potiče i gore navedeno prezime Krličbegović.
