3D Smurfs movie gets 2010 release date
For whatever reason, Major Spoilers gets a huge number of vistors from search engines looking for Peyo’s Smurf news. Well web surfers, here’s another morsel for you – the 3D Smurfs movie will be hitting theaters on December 17, 2010. It’s just in time for the holidays, and while I’m not sure the movie will be highly successful in the United States of America, in Europe is should come on like gangbusters.
Another bit of news that I found interesting is the film is now a CGI live action movie – so expect to see 3D Smurfs running all over live action sets. Who should play Gargamel? Personally, I’m going for Alan Rickman, although the rumors have John Worfin Lithgow in the film.
Farscape Sells Out in Five Days
Knowing it would be a hot property, Boom! Studios released its first issue of Farscape just in time to fill the holiday stocking of long time fans. Even with two major holidays going on, the first issue by Rockne O’Bannon and Keith R.A. DeCandido sold out in just a week.
“We are tracking the unfilled re-orders carefully at the moment. But a second printing looks like it may just happen,” said Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher.
The series, picks up where the television mini-series The Peacekeeper Wars left off, so those who are looking to get their Farscape continuity fix on, Boom! looks to have the answer. And while we won’t find out until next month how many copies of this issue sold, any sellout title is reason for celebrating.
More Justice League Unlimited Figures for 2009
Man, I wish these had been ready for the holidays of this year. Instead, I’m going to have to wait until 2009 to send my Major Spoilers Minions to the toy stores looking for these awesome figures. Take the jump for the three packs, and the Justice League Unlimited Fan Collection figures.
Bruce the Spruce, Kid Friendly
Here’s an all ages title coming your way this holiday season from Image Comics’ Silverline imprint. Bruce: The Little Blue Spruce is by Kristen Koerner and Jim Valentino that tells the story of a little tree that is looking for a home. It’s the feel good book for the holidays!
“One of my unattained career goals was to do a children’s book and when Kris brought BRUCE: THE LITTLE BLUE SPRUCE to me, I instantly knew this would be it,” said Valentino. “Not only did I love the gentle message of accepting the differences in ourselves and others but the challenge of drawing a story where the principal character was a tree was too much to pass up!”
Bruce: The Little Blue Spruce arrives November 5 and will sell for $9.99.
