I haven't really had the computer on much these last few days so, as a result, I haven't been blogging much either. So, in tried and true tradition, here are some links to bits on the internet that I thought were intersting to keep the posting drought from lasting any longer...
Fresh off of WENN: Garner and Affleck Plan Daredevil 2. Nuff Said.
David Cronenberg talks about his new film A History of Violoence which is loosely based on the Graphic Novel of the same name. I found it particularly interesting that Cronenberg didn't even know there was a Graphic Novel until some time after he signed on to do the project. I know he wasn't the first guy on the scene with this one, and that he was just involved with working with the screenwriter, but it still seems...funny.
I link to this bit from Embassy Online because any opportunity to bring attention to Joe Sacco is one wirth taking, but the piece itself is poorly written and not that interesting. Really, it's just a profile and then a mention of his new books title. Still, the moral of the story is: "Buy War's End: Profiles From Bosnia 1995-96!"
Top Cow has a free 22-page preview of The Covenant at their website. It's written by Aron Coleite and drawn by Tone Rodriguez. Haven't checked it out beyond a quick skim, but it's free comics so I figured I'd mention it here.
Simon Pegg of Shaun of the Dead and Spaced fame is lending his voice to an animated character. The UK magazine Chortle gives this brief note on the project and includes a link to the Norwegian film about a drug-addicted circus elephant called, Free Jimmy.
Gary Cole articles seem to be en vogue with the premiere of Harvey Birdman season 3. This one is a goofy interview with The Houston Chronicle which made me giggle with the Daredevil comment which won it a spot on the list.
Gorillaz have a new video for their song "D.A.R.E." posted at their website. Check it out here.
Comic book prequels are becoming all the rage and The Fog remake will be no exception. DHC have put together an original GN that will "expand the film’s story and features interior art by Todd Herman and a special cover by acclaimed comic book artist Mike Mignola." Carpenter is gung-ho for the book, or he could just be shilling for book because he wants to make some extra cash off of the film and its tie-ins. We may naver know.
It took me almost as long to post this link as it did for anyone outside the comic book industry to notice that DHC made comic books out of BMW's The Hire series of short films. Auto Week makes mention of the books here and if you haven't seen the films go here right now! I mean it.
That's it for today. I'll try and come back on later and post something more substantial if I can.
