It was pretty weird seeing Neil LaBute [Nick’s interview from 2003] at Comic Con. I got the impression that he felt just as weird being there. He showed up to talk about his Wicker Man remake, and to show the first few minutes of the movie, which does a twist on the old “guy getting … Continue reading
This weekend at the San Diego Comic Con the members of Broken Lizard revealed to Suicide Girls’ Dan Epstein that their next movie won’t be a Broken Lizard movie. But it’ll have Broken Lizard in it. Called The Babymaker, the film will be directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and be produced by Broken Lizard, and it … Continue reading
***Update from Nick*** Here’s Zach Braff’s take on the issue from his official site: "I know the obvious question that follows, and the answer is: I don’t know yet. There are many things up in the air. Most important to me is directing my adaptation of "Open Hearts," which I had planned to shoot next … Continue reading
The bad news is that you’re going to have to wait longer to bask in the glory that is Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain, the best movie of this year, hands down. The good news is that the film has been moved from a wasteland October release date to a prime November 22 – the movie … Continue reading
Edgar Wright came fresh from finishing principal photography on Hot Fuzz in rainy England to Comic Con in sunny San Diego. The Hot Fuzz footage he and Nick Frost presented to the crowd on Sunday was hilarious – this isn’t “Shaun and Ed join the police,” and Simon Pegg’s supercop character seems especially delightful. They … Continue reading
Longtime CHUD readers will know that when we have screenings they’re usually in the South. That’s because CHUD’s technically based out of Atlanta (although this being the internet physical location doesn’t mean a whole bunch). But when the opportunity arises to have a CHUD screening here in New York City, I jump at it. Especially … Continue reading
When I did my one on one with Jon Favreau at this year’s Comic Con, the room had the Iron Man teaser poster you see above. I don’t think you can take too much from that poster – the movie doesn’t even really have a completed script yet, let alone a finished Iron Man design … Continue reading
Another year, another Comic Con. Well, a second year, a second Comic Con. This was only year two for me when it comes to San Diego, but that didn’t stop it from feeling weird that Nick opted out this time. I don’t know how outlets with only one reporter cover this thing – there were … Continue reading
I think Bryan Singer was very brave to come to Comic Con this year. Superman Returns is probably not going to get to 200 million dollars at the box office, let alone make back its production budget, and the fan response to the film has been mixed. Add to that the fact that the Comic … Continue reading
The State is still one of my favorite sketch comedy shows of all time, and it’s been frustrating that the show has never been on DVD. Today Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant came to Comic Con to talk about their new film, the ping pong/karate comedy Balls of Fury, and in an interview before their … Continue reading
