Riley Keough, Granddaughter Of Elvis Presley, Seeks Role In New ‘Mad Max’

Posted: 11 Aug 2010 07:26 PM PDT

Up and coming actress Riley Keough is currently in talks to grab a role in Mad Max: Fury Road, the upcoming fourth title in the franchise. Keough is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and granddaughter of beloved King of Rock, Elvis Presley.

The original three films -- Mad Max, The Road Warrior, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome -- all starred Mel Gibson as a man whose family were brutally murdered at the hands of a biker gang in a dystopian and eventually post-apocalyptic future where anarchy reigns. After gaining his revenge for the tragedy, Max goes into a deep, dark place, but eventually resurfaces as a warrior ready to protect the innocent and fight the evolving evils of the depressing world.

This new film in the franchise was rumored for a while before being confirmed. George Miller, director of each of the previous three titles, will be returning to direct this new adventure, though after many whispers about whether Gibson would return or not it was decided that he would not. [...]

A new United States poster for Gareth Edwards' upcoming independent creature movie, Monsters, has been released online.

The movie tells the story of a journalist who needs to find his boss's daughter and bring her home, which requires navigation through a quarantined zone in Central America where alien creatures crash-landed within a NASA probe six years prior and have evolved into incredible and dangerous beings that both the American and Mexican military forces struggle to find a way to contain.

Comic Review: Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World #4

Posted: 11 Aug 2010 10:33 AM PDT

Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World #4
Written by Robert Jordan
Script by Chuck Dixon
Art by Chase Conley
Colors by Nicolas Chapuis
Letters by Bill Tortolini
Published by Dynamite Entertainment
Price $3.99
Release date: August 11, 2010

We may be only a few months away from a new Wheel of Time book, but if you're like me, you're always looking for an excuse to re-read the earlier books in the series. Dynamite Entertainment has been giving us just that excuse with their translation of the first book in the series, The Eye of the World, into comic form. Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time: The Eye of the World #4 continues the story, with this issue covering chapter 7 of the original novel.

Now, I'm not what you would call the biggest fan of adapted works, but this one has been very decent so far. One thing you can say for it is that it is a direct adaptation that doesn't stray from the source material. All of the dialogue is straight out of the book, and the plot follows along without any surprises. Chuck Dixon has done his job to translate the book from the written page to the comic. Dixon is able to make the story flow on the page, without making it feel too dry or wordy. Having read the source material so many times, I almost wish there was at least some differences, nothing major, but a nice side plot or something would be okay [...]
