Kenneth Branagh Now Directing The Untitled Jack Ryan Reboot

Posted: 28 Mar 2012 06:00 PM PDT

Kenneth Branagh

Ever since scoring the biggest hit of his directing career with last summer's thunderous Marvel Comics spectacular Thor, Kenneth Branagh has gone from being a prestigious filmmaker to an in-demand Hollywood talent. Despite having opted out of the Thor sequel (which is currently on its third attached director, Alan Taylor, and is set for release next year), the actor and director best known for his acclaimed film adaptations of Shakespeare works like Henry V and Hamlet (and for playing Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) has locked up another high-profile gig behind the camera.

Branagh has signed on to direct the still-untitled reboot of the Jack Ryan film franchise for Paramount Pictures, taking over for departing television director Jack Bender (Lost), whose most notable directing career was 1991's Child's Play 3. Chris Pine remains on board the project as the latest actor to portray Tom Clancy's heroic CIA agent and should be ready to begin filming once production on Star Trek 2 wraps. Jack Ryan has previously been portrayed on the screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck [...]

Comics Of Doom: Episode 118: Comics On TV

Posted: 28 Mar 2012 04:12 PM PDT



Hello everybody! You like The Walking Dead don't you? Honestly, it's pretty hard to find anyone these days who doesn't like Robert Kirkman's portrayal of surviving a post-apacolyptic zombie infested world. Whether it be in comics or on the television screen, The Walking Dead has a mighty large audience. So, it's in honor of the recent wrap up of season two of the television show and this week's release of the comic book that we take a look at both the show and the comic and give you all of our thoughts. I hope you like a lot of exposition! [...]

Comic Review: Smoke And Mirrors #1

Posted: 28 Mar 2012 02:17 PM PDT

Smoke And Mirrors #1

Smoke And Mirrors #1
Script by Mike Costa
Art by Ryan Browne
Illusions by Jon Armstrong
Letters by Robbie Robbins
Color Assists by Aaron Daly
Covers by Ryan Browne, Fiona Staples
IDW Publishing
Release Date: March 21, 2012
Cover Price: $3.99

Who needs electricity when you can have magic?! The first few pages of Smoke And Mirrors #1 takes everyday knowledge and turns it upside down. Suddenly, science is pointless and magical charms are all the rage! But is something more sinister going on here? The game is afoot!

We open to see the spokesman for The Trade Circle giving a speech to a visiting class of children. It enables the reader to become quickly oriented into this altered world that exists with magic as its primary power source. The brief explanation jump starts the story and we watch as one of the students, Ethan, rocks the boat, so to speak. Prying too deeply into the business of The Trade Circle, he quickly finds himself in trouble. But it also ignites the spark that all children have, the spark of curiosity [...]

Check Out This ‘Total Recall’ Video Motion Poster

Posted: 28 Mar 2012 01:00 PM PDT

Colin Farrell Total Recall

The marketing campaign for the Len Wiseman-directed redo of Total Recall is finally ramping up with a teaser trailer set to premiere online this Sunday and today's release of a brief but interesting video motion poster.

You can check it out here below. [UPDATE: We've added the vertical version of the motion poster here below as well.]

The image shows a gun-toting Colin Farrell (in the role played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1990 movie) breaking into pieces as the tagline "What Is Real?" fades to become "What Is Recall?", and it all takes place against a futuristic cityscape you've seen before in every other science fiction movie made since Blade Runner. I'm getting a Minority Report vibe from the images and footage released so far, but Wiseman isn't a fraction of the skillful and inventive filmmaker Steven Spielberg is [...]

Comic Review: Angel & Faith #8

Angel & Faith #8

Angel & Faith #8
Executive Producer: Joss Whedon
Script by Christos Gage
Art by Rebekah Isaacs
Colors by Dan Jackson
Letters by Richard Starkings and Comicraft's Jimmy Betancourt
Covers by Steve Morris, Rebekah Isaacs with Dan Jackson
Dark Horse Comics
Release Date: March 28, 2012
Cover Price: $2.99

Geez... miss a couple of months of a comic book series and everything is different. Lots of introspection in this issue leads me to believe I need to go get the missing comics and play catch up. Sure, Faith is still leading the slayers around but she seems to have her hands full at it.

What makes a slayer turn on one of her sisters? It seems guilt does. Though they seemed well matched at first, Faith gains the upper hand and disarms her fellow slayer. A very sensitive Faith gives the other girl some rather helpful advice but allows her to deal with the pain in her own way, though not as she would have her do [...]

Why A ‘Doctor Who’ Spin-Off Won’t Happen

Posted: 28 Mar 2012 10:00 AM PDT

Doctor Who Spin-Off

Whether you like or inexplicably loathe Russell T. Davies, you have to admit that the man expanded the world of Doctor Who, working to fill it with a roster of unforgettable side characters like Rose, Jackie Tyler, River Song, The Doctor Donna, Wilfred Mott, Mickey, Martha Jones, and Captain Jack. Davies didn't just let these characters roam though, he serviced them and made us care and even long for their return appearances.

Doctor Who, in the time of Steven Moffat, has not similarly excelled in this area. Oh sure, the love story of Rory and Amy will be written in the stars and spoken about for the whole of time (or something), and Moffat has more fully realized (for better or worse) River Song, his creation, but they don't seem right for a spin-off and for the most part we only get snippets of other, smaller characters who we would love to get to know more [...]

GoD List Banner

Each and every week "Heel Heat" MK2Fac3 and "No Show" Henchman21 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. They look forward to some more than others, I mean, who doesn't? So, let's take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and we'll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of March 28, 2012. Single issues and trades, they're all here.

My Henchman is on sabbatical this week, so I've decided to go solo. If H21 were here, though, I'm sure he'd ramble on about a variety of comics, but he's not. So, get over it! But enough of all that! I wanted to address to important items that are on my radar this week. Firstly, it's the week after my birthday and none of you got me anything! I'm so incredibly disappointed in each and every one of you. I spend my time giving you something entertaining to read and this is how you repay me!? In the words of the legendary The Iron Sheik, "::expletive deleted::!" Goodness gracious alive, folks! Anyway, on to the next item on the docket, it's Wrestlemania week! Everyone celebrate! YAY! CM Punk is going to beat Chris Jericho and that's a fact, Jack! Oh yeah, this feature is about comics.... Here's this week's The GoD List! [...]
