New Conan The Barbarian Trailer

Conan The Barbarian returns to theaters this August and here is the brand new full trailer for the film.

The Crow Remake Has A Director

I understand that Hollywood is on a  remake/reboot trend but for humainty's sake let some things alone.   The original 1994 The Crow starring Brandon Lee is to this day, still one of the best comic book adaptions on screen.  Just as John Woo's The Killer doesn't need a remake, neither does The Crow.  The project had seemingly died when director Stephen Norrington dropped off but apparently not as a new director has been named.   Relativity Media have officially announced that 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will direct the remake/reboot.  Relativity released this statement: “Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is an incredibly talented and imaginative filmmaker,” says Executive Producer Tucker Tooley, "We are thrilled to have him at the helm and are excited to work with both Pressman and Apaches on what we all believe will be a compelling and innovative reimagining of The Crow.”  
     "The original Crow was groundbreaking cinema," adds prodcuer Edward R. Pressman, "Its gothic visual and musical ideas influenced a generation and cinema itself. With Juan Carlos, we have every confidence that his new Crow will have a similar impact on the contemporary audience."
      If the film does get made, I will go see it, but let's hope it's worth its celluloid and does justice to the franchise.  Brandon Lee did a phenomenal job as Eric Draven and the film is his legacy due to his untimely death.  The Crow is due in theaters in 2012.

The Titans Wrath is Coming

Liam Neeson confirmed in an interview that the sequel to Clash Of The Titans will be called Wrath Of The Titans.  Liam Neeson will reprise his role as Zeus. He said that the script for this mythological adventure is still being worked on, although they will start shooting next March:

"I've only read half of the script and there is still some work being done - they're on script 10 - but I think it's going to be some kick-ass stuff and a very human story to it. We will start next March. I'm very much looking forward to it. It's a whole revamping, you know."

Sam Worthington is returning as Perseus and Wrath Of The Titans is expected to hit theaters in 2012.

Comicpalooza Update

Have you heard about the latest guests added to Comicpalooza!  The convention will be held May 27, 28, and 29, 2011 at the George R Brown convention Center in Houston, Texas and the lineup continues to get better.  Here are the latest additions!  Don't forget you can also find the most up to date Comicpalooza guest lists at the official site comicpalooza.com!

Linnea Quigley

Linnea is best known for her role as “Trash” in the film The Return of the Living Dead. She has also starred in dozens of other horror films including Nightmare Sisters, Creepozoids, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Night of the Demons (the 1988 original and the 2010 remake), and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. Quigley is the author of two books about her career as a B-movie actress, The Linnea Quigley Bio and Chainsaw Book and I’m Screaming as Fast as I Can, as well as the horror pictorial book Skin.

Joe Jusko

In the field of fantasy illustration, Joe Jusko is at the top of the heap. Over the years, he’s worked for most every leading comic book publisher, producing hundreds of comics and cover images, as well as art for trading cards, calendars, T-shirts, toy packaging, paperback book covers and posters. After apprenticing with the legendary Howard Chaykin, Jusko began creating cover art for the fantasy magazine Heavy Metal before beginning a long run at Marvel Comics. While he’s illustrated most major comics super heroes, he’s probably best known for producing what are considered definitive interpretations of the characters of author Edgar Rice Burroughs as well as his personal favorite, Vampirella.

Bruce Cordell

Bruce enjoyed six years of biotech research while pursuing his biology degree, and for three years after achieving it. But realms of the fantastic were never far from him. Bruce’s freelance game design for various online multiuser text games ultimately landed him a design position at TSR. However instead of coding online multiuser D&D games, he found himself designing traditional roleplaying adventures and supplements, which is work he’s enjoyed ever since.

Also just a reminder: Corresponding with Comicpalooza's 2011 theme, "Year of the Zombie" the convention has partnered with Zombie Walk Houston. This year's zombie walk will take place October 23, 2010, and will benefit Tilman Troops, a Houston based charity that provides support and assistance to our troops overseas.

The first annual Zombie Walk Houston in 2008 was attended by 100+zombies and 237 meals were created through non-perishable donations for the Houston Food Bank. In 2009, the event tripled in size, as 300 people showed up. Comicpalooza and Zombie Walk Houston look to make the 2010 event the most successful one yet.
