Het Centrale Comic-topic! part 3 (of 8)

Ah, een nieuw topic

Die Wolverine/Darkness gaat over de ontmoeting van Wolverine met de opa van Darkness en een tijdje daarna de huidige Darkness. En een kroeg....en drank.....

Er komt een verfilming van Wanted. Hoera, zou ik denken.
Helaas, als ik onderstaande opsomming mag geloven is het verhaal dus behoorlijk aangepast. In de comic is die gast, Wesley Gibson, namelijk ook gewoon een villain (want alle helden zijn al dood), en moordt, verkracht en jat er op los. En pas op het einde besluit hij toch nog er wat aan te doen.

Plot Summary: Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel series and helmed by the stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov--creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the "Night Watch" series--"Wanted" tells the story of one invisible drone's transformation into a dark avenger. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a superhero for a new millennium: Wesley Gibson.

25-year-old account manager Wes (James McAvoy) was the most pathetic, cube-dwelling hypochondriac the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend cheated on him daily and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this weakling would never amount to anything. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die a slow, clock-punching death.

Until he became Wanted.

After the murder of a father he never knew, Wes discovers powers beyond his dreams. He becomes the latest recruit in the Fraternity--a secret society of assassins--and develops lightning-quick reflexes with superhuman agility. Wes soon learns his league of henchmen has but one mission: carry out the death orders of the mythological Fates, weavers of every man's lifeline.

With wickedly brilliant tutors, he morphs into a killing machine and starts erasing one bad guy after another. But as Wes grows into the mantle passed down by his father...he discovers his clan members are not exactly the enforcers of justice they claim to be. Just as he gets everything he ever Wanted, Wesley Gibson will learn that with the ability to deliver death comes an even more difficult power...controlling your own life.

ja, die is erg gaaf. Mits je van over the top grof geweld houdt.

Wanted? van welke firma is dat?

Hulk is Back!

Wanted was van Top Cow, maar staat los van het normale Top Cow universum.


en Hulk komt binnenkort wel terug ja. Planet Hulk loopt nu nog, en dat is stiekem toch best gaaf.

Ik vindt planet hulk ook wel zeker tof.. lekker gewoon die hulk.. eindelijk veel actie en geen gezwets echt cool.. in de laatste hulk zat ook een special.. kwam dr. Richards erachter dat de hulk vrienden had nu istie erg bang dat die vrienden de hulk terug willen halen

Wanted ziet er vet uit. Kwam ook nog Chosen tegen, ziet er ook wel redelijk uit, en FM's Robocop

For years, fans have been saying that if Garth Ennis and Steve Dillion’s Preacher were to come to any screen, only HBO could do it justice.

Apparently, DC, Vertigo, Ennis, Dillion and whatever gods watch over Time Warner agree.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Preacher will launch on HBO as a series, adapted by Mark Steven Johnson (Ghost Rider, Daredevil) and directed by Howard Deutch. Johnson and Deutch will executive produce along with Michael De Luca, George Agusto, Chris Bender and JC Spink.

From HR:

Preacher, which ran from 1995-2000, told the story of a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon. Given immense powers, the preacher teamed with an old girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and set out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.

The series was created by Irish-born writer Garth Ennis and British artist Steve Dillon, who will serve as co-executive producers. Ken F. Levin, who reps the duo, also will serve as co-exec producer.

The series -- which developed a rabid fan base -- was known for tackling religious and political issues, its dark and violent sense of humor and its observations of American culture. It also was one of the series that helped define Vertigo, the adult-oriented line of comics from DC Comics.

There have been several attempts to bring the comic to the screen, whether big or small, but nothing stuck. A movie version, to have been produced by Kevin Smith's View Askew, among others, got to the casting stage, with James Marsden attached for the title role and a reported budget of $25 million.

The project reunites Johnson with Deutch; Johnson wrote "Grumpier Old Men," which Deutch directed. Deutch's directing credits include TV's "Gleason," the pilot for "Melrose Place" and the 1986 film "Pretty in Pink." He is repped by ICM.

Johnson is repped by CAA.

Though the series ended in 2000, after 66 issues, Preacher has consistently been one of DC/Vertigo's best-selling trade collections through both the comic and bookstore market, with each of the nine volumes seeing multiple printings. Like many other Vertigo properties, Ennis and Dillion have a creator participation deal with Preacher, which allows them to continually receive a portion of the revenue generated by the trades and other rights to the property.

While no start date was given, or cast announced, the bar has obviously been set very high for the adaptation of the property, given the reputation of HBO's original series. Given the content of Preacher and the buttons a loyal adaptation of the comic series will push, the network is clearly looking at one of its most controversial series to date.

ultimate spider-man kom na een vaag redelijk ongeloofwaardig plot toch nog tot een behoorlijke climax . . .

hmn, een Preacher serie in rechts-concervatief Amerika? lijkt me niet zo een slim plan tenzij het verhaal flink gecensureerd (lees:verkracht) wordt. nog steeds een van mijn favorite series.

mwah, op HBO is veel mogelijk. Heel veel.

cover van deeltje 102, nu verkrijgbaar..

ben benieuwd naar de scetches van The Dark Tower !

o ja, ze zijn bezig met een filmversie van 30 Days Of Night. Ben benieuwd, want de normale comic is best leuk, en vrij recht toe recht aan om te zetten naar film, denk ik zo. Gewoon een simpele vampierenfilm, eigenlijk.

gek dat niemand zoiets nog niet gedaan had, vampiers boven de poolcirkel, in de winter. Ja, dan kunnen ze de hele dag vreten.
