In my review for the first and original Snowpiercer graphic novel I wondered what had happened to the movie. There’s progress against the horde of delays. Slashfilm reports that the international rollout has started but the US date is still to be set. Why? According to Harvey Weinstein “Midwesterners” are too stupid to understand the […]
Chilling: A review of Snow Piercer
Back in January I shared some pictures, concept art and music from a Joon-ho Bong film called Snowpiercer. It looked incredible, based on a French graphic novel and starting the likes of Chris Evans, John Hurt and Tilda Swinton. The film is reviewing well at IMDB which also suggests the US release is still to […]
Captain America: The Winter Soldier UK trailer
Got to hand it to Marvel; this trailer seems to have all the things. It has action. It has character development and interaction. It’s got twisty plot. It also has Nick Fury, Falcon, Black Widow, Captain America and The Winter Soldier. What do you think? Does the trailer suggest a balanced but active film or is […]
Snowpiercer pictures, concept art and music
Snowpiercer is a forthcoming sci-fi film based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige. It’ll be directed by Bong Joon-ho and it’ll be his first English language film but he did the screenplay for The Host and his cast is incredible. There’s Chris Evans, Song Kang-ho, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, Ewen Bremner, Alison […]
Commentary on Rob Liefeld’s comic art style – or just freaky
Rob Liefeld has become something of a controversial comic book artist. There’s frequent debate on how female superheroes are drawn and that’s a good thing. One of the things to keep in mind while debating how some artists draw female figures is to consider how they draw male figures. Rob Liefeld draws male superheroes with […]
Hulk stars in the 4th Avengers trailer
This is a two minute plus trailer for The Avengers. What’s rare about this trailer is that it doesn’t just feature Hulk but it’s got the Hulk in some pretty impressive scenes. I had thought, without spoilers, Black Widow’s tactic might have been to get the Hulk to chase her and then run in the […]
How good is The Avengers trailer?
It’s out. It’s out. I’m this excited – and it’s only the trailer. What are your first impressions? I like that we don’t see too much fighting. I suspect Iron Man will get a host of good lines. Loki’s clearly up to mischief. If Joss Whedon has a mega-hit with this… what does that mean […]
Captain America: The First Avenger trailer
We’ve had clips and sneaky stills smuggled from teasers for the Captain America: The First Avenger movie for a while now. We’ve not had a full trailer. Until now. Got to say; the computer wizard who “de-buffs” Chris Evans is very good at their job. I wonder how much of the movie will focus on […]
Sneak peak: Hugo Weaving as The Red Skull in Captain America
There was a sneak peek trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger during the Super Bowl. In it, we got to see a second or so of Hugo Weaving as The Red Skull. The keen eye of Buzzfeed caught and shared that image. Here it is. So what of the actual trailer itself? Surely someone […]
