Pixar photo suggests new dino movie in the works

Posted on by

Last week, there was a lot of speculation over an image of Pixar creators at work.  Behind the sculptor is a very pronounced image of a dinosaur and a boy, which many saw as a clue to the next 3D movie project.  The Pixar blog site offered up a variety of clues, and ultimately came to this conclusion:

These facts point to this having been a research trip for an unannounced upcoming film, almost certainly being directed by (Greg) Dykstra. This would undoubtedly be a short since Dykstra hasn’t directed before at the studio.

On the other hand, with the latest purchase by Disney, perhaps we are seeing early work into that Devil Dinosaur movie Matthew’s always going on about.

Top Cow unveils homage cover variant for Witchblade #128

Following issue #127, things didn’t look too good for Sara Pezzini, and the variant cover to Witchblade #128 might unsettle long term fans.

In this issue of “War of the Witchblades,” both Sara Pezzini and Dani Baptiste are on the ground and it’s uncertain who will rise to reunite and claim the divided Witchblade for herself.  The epic storyline continues to raise the stakes in the battle for the ancient artifact called the Witchblade and promises to dramatically change the landscape of the series by its conclusion.

The regular cover is a take on John Byrne’s Uncanny X-Men #136 by series artist Stjepan Sejic, with the Crisis on Infinite Earths homage cover by Luke Ross.

Knight Rider Retools

Posted on by

NBC is really scrambling to fix its lineup of shows that are not delivering as expected.  First it was the firing of Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander from Heroes, and now it has been announced the studio is going after Knight Rider.  Reports from Hollywood indicate the show is going through a retooling process to bring it back its ’80′s origins.

“It’s a reboot,” “Knight” executive producer/showrunner Gary Scott Thompson said. “We’re moving away from the terrorist-of-the-week formula and closer to the original, making it a show about a man and his car going out and helping more regular people, everymen.”

In the process three of the series reglars — Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Yancey Arias and Bruce Davison — have been given their walking papers.

I’m surprised the execs didn’t come to this conclusion sooner, and why this show is still on the air.  Is anyone watching it and liking it in its current form?

Goodnight Opus

My son loves reading Goodnight Moon, my wife or I will read it to him, and as soon as it is done, he wants to read it again.  It’s a good story, and a classic known by almost everyone who has a child.  Berkeley Breathed paid homage to Margaret Wise Brown’s book on the Humane Society’s website which featured the conclusion to his Opus run.

Some who just saw the image fretted about the flightless bird’s final fate, so Breathed wanted to be especially clear in his e-mail to The Times.

“I assure people in my web note that Opus is in the comforting place that would make me smile when I think of him in the years to come. I can only hope that his fans will smile too. If Opus was cuddling with tropical girls wearing coconuts, I suppose I’d smile too, but tinged with regret that those things just never last after that early giddy stage.”

Goodnight Opus, pleasant dreams of the future.

Legion of Super-Heroes Comes to an End

DC has announced that the current run of the Legion of Super-Heroes will come to an end with issue #50.

“We’re going to bring a close to the Legion of Super-Heroes now,” said DC Senior VP and Executive Editor Dan DiDio. “There’s a lot going on with the characters. I thought that [writer] Jim [Shooter] and [artist] Francis [Manapul] have done a terrific job with the series, and ’50′ seemed like a really nice number to bring this series to a conclusion.”

According to Dan DiDio, the Legion won’t be going away – especially after the events of Legion of Three Worlds – the company is just giving the characters a rest until something definitive can be decided.  But don’t think that Geoff Johns will be taking over the writing duties, Newsarama reports that Johns is just too busy writing every other title in the DC Universe to take on another project.

I’m telling you, something strange is afoot at DC Comics.  First Minx, now LoSH, and I’m betting Jonah Hex, and Blue Beetle are soon to follow.  I can understand low sales causing a title to be canceled, but Legion was ranked in the Top 100 titles for August 2008.

What version of the Legion of Super-Heroes would you like to see resurrected when DC finally decides to reboot the Legion… again?
