Go Behind The Scenes With A New ‘Solomon Kane’ Featurette

Posted on January 29, 2010

solomon-kaneThe story of Solomon Kane is quite epic, full of demons and monsters, the actual journey of the film getting to domestic theaters seems to be even more interesting. The film has yet to be picked up by an American distributor, which means it could be some time before we ever get to see Michael Bassett’s film in theaters, if at all.

The film follows closely to the original books by Conan and Krull creator Robert E. Howard, while taking some impressive liberties with CG work and effects. The story follows the titular Kane, a priest who sells his soul to the devil tries to redeem his soul by fighting the henchmen of Hell.

Starring Rome’s James Purefoy, with MIchael Bassett adapting the screenplay and taking the helm, the film looks to be making quite a lot of noise in the critics’ circles.

Still no word on when we’ll get to see the entire film, but in the meantime, we’ve been bringing you plenty of clips for you to feast upon. Check out an all-new behind the scenes feature after the jump.

Author J.D. Salinger Dies At 91

Posted on January 28, 2010

JD_SalingerA sad day for the literary world today as the writer of famed novel Catcher In The Rye, J.D. Salinger, has passed away at the age of 91. Salinger was known as a devoutly private author, refusing interviews and turning down offers of further publishing.

It was widely known that Salinger refused to let his most famous novel be turned into a film, as he hated “Hollywood phonies” more than anything else. According to his publicist, Salinger’s health was excellent until the turn of the new year, when it suddenly declined and the author suffered from a broken hip.

Many people will remember Salinger for his novel and recluse lifestyle, but fans of comics and movies will always remember the work of his son, Matt Salinger. It’s little known, but Matt Salinger was the actor who portrayed Captain America in the original 1990 film.

Check out a clip below, and our prayers go out to Matt along with the rest of the Salinger family.

The Pull List Comic Reviews: ‘Atom and Hawkman’, ‘Fantastic Four’, ‘Green Lantern’ and More!

Posted on January 28, 2010

The siege of Asgard continues, Indigo becomes the new choice of color and Captain America “officially” returns in this latest edition of The Pull List Comic Reviews! Due to time constraints and unforeseen delays, this week’s column is abbreviated. As always, WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD.

PULL OF THE WEEK:

atom-&-hawkman-46-coverAtom & Hawkman #46
DC Comics – $2.99 US
Writer: Geoff Johns
Artist: Ryan Sook
Score: 9/10

Ray Palmer, known better as the Atom, has been knocked down more than most during his career as a costumed crime-fighter, but he always manages to pick himself up. Not surprisingly, that compassion of his has earned him an Indigo ring, and with the dead seemingly winning the war, Ray has figured out a way to swing the battle to the good guys; even if the good guys aren’t all necessarily “good” to begin with.

I would never have thought that, of all the Blackest Night-themed “continuation” issues, this would be the best of the bunch (so far), but with Geoff Johns at the helm, I should have known better. Johns uses a This Is Your Life presentation of Ray Palmer’s history as a canvas to show just how much the character brings to the table, and in doing so, the writer sets the stage for what could be the turning point in war against Nekron.

Artist Ryan Sook simply crushed this issue. Everything in this issue was pitch-perfect, from Ray’s past to the horrific present – every panel led to the next without skipping a beat. Instead, the body of work in this issue touched on varying types of visual storytelling that not only worked incredibly well, but also showed the artist’s vast range of skills.

Wrap all this up and throw in the aforementioned revelation of the Indigo rings, and you’re left with a can’t-miss issue that’s also the Pull of the Week.
