Seems Steven Spielberg understands that Tintin is more popular outside the United States, and has decided to release it internationally a month and a half earlier than the U.S. release. Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures Entertainment unveiled plans to release the motion capture pic Stateside on Dec. 23, 2011. But in an unusual move, film will launch internationally in late October and early November 2011, with Sony Pictures Releasing Intl. handling Continental Europe, Eastern Europe, Latin America and India, and Paramount distributing the film in Asia, Australia, the U.K. and all other English-speaking territories. I totally agree with this move,…

JOE: The Rise of Cobra.  The series claims to give readers an exclusive peek at what to expect in costume design and plot twists. “G.I. JOE was an essential part of my childhood. I saw COBRA agents around every schoolyard corner,” said Andy Schmidt in a prepared statement, IDW’s G.I. JOE editor. “It is an honor to be part of an intensely fun and uniquely relevant group of characters. As a lifelong G.I. JOE…

Could there really be a Buffy the Vampire Slayer coming ot the big screen?  If you are wetting yourself over that thought, it will probably sober you up to know that Joss Whedon wil not be involved in the project.  It sounds really weird not having Whedon involved in anything Buffy, after all, he was the writer of the first Buffy movie that featured the yummy Christy Swanson (not to be confused with Swanson’s pot pies, which are also quite yummy, but in a different way). While Whedon is the person most associated with “Buffy,” Kuzui and her Kuzui Enterprises…

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is another in the big summer movie extravaganza, and it opens July 17, 2009. Buffy the Vampire Slayer has done really well in comic book form, and even though we won’t see Harry Potter comics in the near future, I do wonder how many comic book readers are fans of the Harry Potter books?  How many of the Major Spoiler Legion are going to see the Half Blood Prince?

For all of us who are not on the grant morrison band wagon, this upcoming documentary might clear some things up. For the rest of you who already know every minuscule part of grant’s life, this will probably not be new to you.  Of course there’s always the chance the documentary won’t agree with your world view of the comic book creator, in which case you’ll probably insult the intelligence of the film makers. Sequart and Respect! Films are prodcuing a documentary about legendary comic book writer Grant Morrison. Morrison has written virtually every major comic book franchise, from Batman…
