Fox now has a commitment to Joe Hill‘s Locke & Key comic series. It is reported that Josh Friedman, of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fame, will be responsible for this television adaptation. The series, as described by IDW‘s website,
“tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them…. and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all…”
Warner Brothers Television is looking to adapt Neil Gaiman’s ‘Sandman’ series for Television according to an exclusive report from The Hollywood Reporter’s HeatVision blog. Warner is in the process of acquiring the rights from DC Entertainment and is looking to “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke to helm the project. Gaiman’s “The Sandman” has been seen previous attempts to jump from the page to live action, including a possible movie adaption. DC had previously been in talks with HBO to adapt the series to TV. HeatVision also reports that Gaiman isn’t involved in the project at this early stage, but that could be subject to change.
“The Sandman” is described as the “New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman’s transcendent series SANDMAN is often hailed as the definitive Vertigo title and one of the finest achievements in graphic storytelling. Gaiman created an unforgettable tale of the forces that exist beyond life and death by weaving ancient mythology, folklore and fairy tales with his own distinct narrative vision.”
Between this and Death’s entrance into the main DC Universe, it’s finally time for me to jump into Gaiman’s award winning Vertigo series. What do you think of this? Sound off in our comments below!
According to Ain’t It Cool News, Kick-Ass 2 is officially greenlit. The official word is said to come from none other than Mark Millar himself. Apparently, Mr. Millar was on Radio 5 in the UK when he let out the good news. This, he said, was due to the smashing success of DVD sales for the first title.
Matthew Vaughn, the director of Kick-Ass, is currently working on X-Men: First Class. So, we probably won’t see this film until 2012-ish. This is all assuming the same director and crew will be working on the sequel, which is highly likely, yet not official. Stay tuned.
It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen a DC Animated cartoon series that focused on a teen group of superheroes. Teen Titans ended four years and has been in syndication, but this fall will see the launch of a Young Justice cartoon series, and teen heroes will once again be in the spotlight. Since the announcement of the series, there have been a substantial amount of new details on what and who we’ll see in the show. Hit the jump for the full story!
The Walking Dead hasn’t begun it’s first season and already AMC has picked the series up for a season 2. What is that you say? This isn’t new news?
Well, the people over at Fangoria.com have their fingers on the pulse… of… the zombies? That’s not right. They have their ears to the ground and have come up with news from a source that says they will begin shooting in February. No word on when season 2 will air.
This comes as fantastic news to people who are anticipating even the first episode of the series, which will debut this Halloween.
UPDATED:
Eric Goldman from IGN just tweeted that AMC has contacted IGN to say that The Walking Dead has NOT been renewed for a second second. More on this as it develops.
While we’ll have to wait till much later in the year to see the full version, the first Teaser Trailer for the animated “Atomic Robo” movie was released over the weekend. The short trailer is animated by The Fictory and looks beautiful while offering quick looks at the world and characters of ‘Last Stop’. We’ve embedded the trailer for you below.
Marvel Studios is picking the ball up on the Iron Fist project by hiring screenwriter Rich Wilkes. Wilkes is best known for the first XXX film starring Vin Diesel.
Iron Fist has been around since 1974 and was created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane. The story’s main character, Daniel Rand, is a martial arts expert with the power of the Iron Fist, which he earned by defeating a dragon known as Shou-Lao. After winning the battle, he plunged his hands into the heart of the beast, thereby being granted with the abilities of the Iron Fist.
Iron Fist has been in movie limbo since 2000, when actor Ray Park was set to star as the films lead role. It’s good to see that the acquisition of Marvel by Disney didn’t destroy the prospects of the film. Much like Runaways and Ant-Man, Iron First looks to be distributed by Disney.
AMC has your first look at at the full length trailer for the TV adaption of Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead”. The show will premiere on Halloween at 10 PM EST and will be a 90 minute long episode. I had the chance to check out the trailer at Comic-Con and was very impressed. Check it out below!!
