As for creating comics, I actually wrote a script the other day — first script I’ve written in a few months — for Hellblazer , funnily enough…but yes, you’re quite right — Watchmen is keeping me pretty busy. But…it does make a change, being on the side that gets to say what it likes or doesn’t like about a piece of artwork, rather than being the guy who’s submitting the artwork and waiting for the feedb

Here’s just click the following website some of my quick thoughts on who and what’s been nominated: I’m glad to see so many nominations for my favorite show Lost , racking up nine in total (nice to see Josh Holloway finally get recognition for his acting). I’m delighted to see Sam Rockwell get recognition for his fantastic performance in Moon (I was really annoyed that he didn’t get nominated for an Osc

Even with the amount of stuff del Toro has on his plate, he still finds the time to do interviews to let us eager fans in on what’s he’s up to and how far he is along with the stuff he has upcoming. In an interview with Wired , del Toro talked about various different things including his movies up until this point, his upcoming mammoth-project The Hobbit and other future works, and the nature of future storytell

As the release date for the much-anticipated Watchmen movie draws near, the marketing machine behind the film is starting to turn its gears, hoping to lure those moviegoers not familiar with Alan Moore’s groundbreaking graphic novel into theaters next Spr

Visually, Zack Snyder did a fantastic job with Watchmen . The incredible attention to detail in everything from the background sets to the props and costumes is really something to see. Of course one aspect of the film I could have stood to see a bit less of was Dr. Manhattan’s penis. The logic of the story was that eventually he becomes so detached from human norms that he doesn’t see the point of wearing any clothing. However I’m pretty sure I don’t recall Mr. Happy being so prevalent in the book. Here we’ve got full body shots all over the place and frankly, it was a bit distracting (I’ll never look at Blue Man Group quite the same way aga

Alan doesn’t have a problem with me doing that…when I was doing my Watching the Watchmen book, I did ask him a few questions…he didn’t have a problem with that. But at a later stage, he said to me during one of our phone conversations…that he didn’t want to have any further conversations with me about Watchm

As far as any future project, there’s just one particular thing that Alan has mentioned publicly, so I’m free to mention it. Alan and his friend Steve Moore (no relation) are going to do… I think it’s called “The Boys’ Book of Magick” or “Everybody’s Book of Magick,” …As you know, Alan has been very interested in magick (with a “k”) for a long while and he wants to do a primer that kind of brings magick out of the fusty, gothic area that it’s traditionally inhabited and make it something that’s a bit more light and a bit more accessible to modern readers. Some time ago, I agreed to do some illustrations for that…what they will be, I’m not sure, but I’m really looking forward to collaborating with Alan and Steve on that at some point in the fut

Not only does he have the task of adapting The Hobbit – the prequel to the mega-success that was the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but he’s making two movies out of it. Most likely they will be shot simultaneously (as all of the Lord of the Rings movies were), but it’s still an extra bit of weight on his should

“I originally wrote a very long outline for a TV series I wanted to do called ‘The Strain.’ And then the network president at Fox said to me, ‘We do want something with vampires-but could you make it a comedy?’ Obviously, I responded, ‘No thank you’ and ‘Can I have my outline bac

This is NOT really a superhero movie in the sense that we’ve come to know the genre. It’s not X-Men or Spider-Man – it’s not even The Dark Knight … it’s really more of a murder mystery with a bit of superhero action thrown in for fla

Keeping in line with all of the rest of the major awards, films like Avatar , The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds have snagged a high amount of noms, with a couple of fan-favorites like District 9 and Star Trek also being inclu

The nominees have been announced for the fourth annual Scream Awards, held every year by Spike TV . The decisively more “fan-friendly” award ceremony (compared to the Oscars) honors films from the sci-fi, fantasy, horror and comic-book genres of movies, TV shows and comic books. The awards are described as, “the first and only global event of its kind,” to honor those gen

I also really didn’t think that Matthew Goode was the best choice for Veidt/Ozymandias. He seemed too frail of build to me, and this became much more of an issue in the final scenes in the film where he displayed what seemed to be superhuman strength in a film where the only super-powered being is supposed to be Dr. Manhattan. This also came up in the early scene where the Comedian is fighting for his life – he punches through what looks like solid brick, and while it might look cool, it didn’t seem to make se
