(Edinburgh, the West End of Princes Street in the 1950s; the shops and buses have changed but other than that most of this scene looks the same today.

Its the cinematic collaboration we’ve all been waiting for: Disney’s Goofy working with master of the surreal, the auteur David Lynch.

Losers poster…..

Sunday, February 7, 2010

0 Comments

This recently released movie poster for the new Losers movie does seem to point out one fundamental flaw in transferring comics to movies. No matter how good the movies are, sometimes you just can’t do it as well as the vision of an artist. It’s a great poster, iconic, striking, everything it needs to be. [...]

Tintin shooting finished

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

0 Comments

Peter Jackson reports that the principal shooting on the Tintin movie is completed – however, we shouldn’t get too excited just yet because he adds that it will probably be another couple of years for the effects and the computer animation to be completed. I’d imagine animating Tintin’s famous quiff alone will occupy some digital [...]

Absolutely pitch-perfect for the material, I think, wouldn’t it be cool to see a whole comic done this way? I think the cover for issue #5 (below) is my favourite. Someone show these to [...]

According to The Hollywood Reporter director Bryan Singer is considering a return to Fox for another installment of the X-Men movies, which I’d imagine would be pretty much welcomed by fans. Singer, who made his name with the wonderfully convoluted noir-esque Usual Suspects, delivered the first two X-Men movies which proved successful with fans, critics [...]
