Even if Peter Jackson decides that he does want to direct the two Hobbit movies after all – And Neil Blomkamp is still in the running after all, apparently – there may be an additional problem in finally starting to shoot the damn thing: The question of who will pay for it.
Deadline Hollywood’s Mike Fleming is now reporting that the …
When it hit theaters months ago, Hot Tub Time Machine made audiences believe that a Jacuzzi filled with a contraband Russian energy drink could send people back in time. Our Steve Snyder was “meh” on the flick but it’s out on DVD today, if you want to see if you disagree with him. The mechanics of chronal displacement in HTTM may …
On this day in 1920, special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen was born. From his early start in movies (He directed his first animated movie when only 22 years old) to being responsible for the still impressive effects in movies like Jason and the Argonauts, The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and the original (and still the best) Clash Of The …

J.H. Williams III is one of the most interesting artists working in superhero comics right now–a supremely thoughtful designer who uses variations of style as an expressive tool roughly as often as other cartoonists use panel borders. He made his name with Chase and his collaboration with Alan Moore on Promethea, drew the spectacular …
Every week we take some time to select some comics that we can’t wait to pick up. Here are five of those comics right here. Be sure to check back on Thursday for the Panel of the Week and Friday for the Comic Book Club.
Turf #2
I can’t even remember when Turf #1 came out. It’s been a while. In 1920’s New York a pack of vampires are …
Today marks the release of a brand new episode of Red Light Properties, Dan Goldman’s psychedelic horror webcomic serialized on Tor.com. Mixing the supernatural realm with an all-too-familiar world of marriage breakdowns, financial meltdowns and everyday horrors, the strip is more impressive work from the man behind Shooting War and 08: …
Our brethren at Entertainment Weekly have it on good authority that former Doomsday/Crashdown and current Starkiller has signed on to play a blood sucking vampire in Syfy’s US remake of the UK hit Being Human.

Warner Bros. has just released its first official trailer for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, which of course, will be split into two parts released on November 19th, 2010 and July 15th, 2011. So far the only thought running through my head is, “Epic.”

Of all the new superpowered television shows headed for small screens …
Was it just me, or was there something very old-fashioned about Saturday’s (American – Yes, I know you’ve seen the season finale, British people and those who download things from websites that we pretend don’t exist) Doctor Who? Romps with historical figures, invisible monsters and lessons about the permanence of time – It was just like …
