When it comes to gore, there’s nobody quite like Greg Nicotero.
A go-to makeup artist, he’s worked on everything (Kill Bill, The Chronicles of Narnia, Inglourious Basterds) and with everyone (Quinten Tarantino, George Romero, Steven Spielberg). And now, as the head of special make up effects for AMC’s TV adaptation of The Walking …
Here’s hoping that star turns in last year’s Terminator Salvation and Avatar, not to mention this year’s Clash of the Titans, haven’t soured you on Sam Worthington; the Australian actor has just teamed up with comic publisher Radical to create an imprint dedicated to creating new movies for him to star in.

The Norwegian cartoonist Jason specializes in comics that take the premises of high-tension thrillers–zombies, assassins, time travel, bank robberies–and transform them into deadpan, reserved domestic comedies.

There are flawed movie characters. One-dimensional movie characters. Incomprehensible movie characters.
But every once and a while you get a hero so soulless, heartless and expressionless that you can’t help but write him off. A guy you want to punch more than hug, who you heckle in hopes that he fails.
