If this article were written in the mid-1990s, it would have a holo-foil die-cut cover and a variant by Stephen Platt. But this is 2006 and there’s far more profit to be made in feature films, so here’s sort of a "state of the union" regarding Marvel’s slate.

Marvel’s shiniest hero (well, the one who doesn’t surf) has a new director. Jon Favreau will begin construction on the red and gold armor for Marvel’s Iron Man movie.

It’s been ages since I heard about a remake of the cheesy 80s creature feature whose acronym title has provided considerable mileage for this site, but it sounds like the Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers are clawing to the surface once again. iFMagazine chatted up schlock helmer Tim Cox, whose directing credits include a couple of surprisingly fun … Continue reading
Actor Karl Urban has already handled orcs, space mutants, the last Furyan and some nasty occultists (someone else out there must’ve seen The Irrefutable Truth About Demons), and now he’s slicing up a whole bunch of Vikings. The twist? He is a Viking. In Pathfinder, Urban plays a young Viking lad left behind during one … Continue reading
Momentum happens. We’ve added a nice chunk of new crew and cast members, details of which shall be trickling out soon. We’ve also made some headway with financing this little sucker to shoot in the late summer in Atlanta. What I did want to share was the fact that we’ve cast our three female leads, … Continue reading
