I’ve been waiting a long time for The Dark Knight Rises trailer to finally arrive. Obviously, this is going to be an amazing summer for blockbuster movies, but Christopher Nolan’s epic conclusion is the one I’ve been most anticipating. The Avengers is a close second though. The trailer focuses on Baine’s destruction of Gotham City [...]
At SXSW, Marvel announced a partnership with Aurasma, an augmented reality company that created technology allowing mobile phones to recognize images, symbols and objects rather than bar codes or QR codes and delivering relevant content in real time, including videos, animations, audio or webpages. It sounds like an intriguing clash between comics and the digital [...]
My grandfather had comics stored away, but like most men in his time, his mother threw them away once he joined the military. A man in Dallas was fortunate to find a treasure. When his great aunt died, Michael Rorrer found stacks of comic books that originally belonged to his great uncle, Billy Wright, that [...]
We cover movies based on comics here at PrintReady, and I collected The Amazing Spider-Man comics as a kid, so yes I MUST write up my thoughts concerning the new movie The Amazing Spider-Man by Marc Webb in response to the latest released trailer via YouTube by Sony. What I like so far… First, I’m [...]
As a purveyor of pop-culture, I was as excited as anyone about the release of AMC’s The Walking Dead in the fall of 2010. I’m not much of a comic book guy, however, I’m always hungry for a zombie thrill ride. And this one looked good. I waited for the premier and planned accordingly with plenty of friends, food and adult beverages.
I was checking out random graphic design blogs and I could not help but notice there is a lot of talk about DC Comics newly revised logo. For those of you that don’t know, DC Comics is a company owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment and Time Warner. They are one of, if not the, most [...]
Holy crap, this was a very disappointing film. These days, with a newborn, I’m forced to take advantages of new releases on my Apple TV, and Captain America: The First Avenger was my latest watch and frankly its a dud. Director Joe Johnston screwed this movie up royally. What’s worse is that I wasn’t even [...]
In what was described internally as a cost-cutting move, Marvel Comics laid off 11 employees last week, including three editors, four in production, two in the collections department and two from digital compositing. Only two weeks ago Jim Sokolowski, Marvel’s COO was laid off for similar reasons, and earlier in the summer director of publishing [...]
Big crowds and the growing transition to digital delivery were the big stories coming out of New York Comic Con, held this past weekend at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. Although official figures have not yet been released, in his blog, ReedPop v-p and show organizer Lance Fensterman said the 2011 [...]
Barnes & Noble Inc. is removing from its consumer and college bookstores 100 graphic novels published by Time Warner Inc.’s DC Entertainment unit in a move that underscores the increasing tensions between book publishers and retailers over exclusive content. Barnes & Noble’s move follows the Sept. 29 disclosure by DC Entertainment that it struck an [...]
Bryan Singer’s original opening for the film has hit the web — it’s a deleted scene extra on the Superman Anthology Blu-ray edition. This scene is just plain weird. It chronicles Superman’s trip back to the remains of his home planet of Krypton, and, well, check it out for yourself: 2006′s Superman Returns may be [...]
In the midst of the famous Comic-Con this week, there’s just tons of comic book movies to report on. (image is Henry Cavill, the new Superman) 2010 is expected to become the year for super hero movies including The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man (spidey updates) and The Avengers will battle for 2012′s supremacy. [...]
A while back we discussed how explosive 2011 and 2012 comic book movies would be. Two days after Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part 2 gave us a glimpse of the next Batman movies by Christopher Nolan, Columbia pictures releases a trailer for Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man. I was surprised the writers were contempt on [...]
Sure, this is a little late, but I had to wait until I actually saw the movie. In the end, if you’re an X-Men fan like me, then you’re going to like this movie. Its reminiscent of the original X-Men and X2 rather than Brett Ratner’s dumb-downed X-Men: Last Stand, which isn’t surprising since Bryan [...]
A while back we revealed that a Wonder Woman TV show may be on the way, but Chairman Robert Greenblatt of NBC Entertainment announced that he didn’t greenlight Wonder Woman. Greenblatt was fairly diplomatic about the reboot provided by Warner Bros. TV and David E. Kelley. “I hate to disappoint anybody. I know there are [...]
The story After crossing his father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins), in a fit of youthful pique, Thor is stripped of his powers and is sent through a wormhole, which crash-lands him in the New Mexico desert where he meets a human team of scientists. The review We watched Thor this weekend, and it was pretty darn [...]
The first trailer for Marvel’s Thor has some moments, but I think the newest trailer now available at Apple is looking more promising. Its amazing how recently Oscar awarded Natalie Portman is everywhere these days. Other actors in the movie include Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Hopkins (Odin), Renee Russo (Frigga), Ray Stevenson (Volstagg) and many [...]
Honestly, I haven’t been longing to see the Green Lantern movie. I’m not a fan of Ryan Reynolds, never read the comic (or much else in the DC universe) and the movie looked way over-the-top for my tastes. There are many comic book movies releasing this summer and next, and Green Lantern was one I [...]
