Attack the Block with Nick Frost is out in the UK, and will hopefully be coming around here soon. While you are waiting, check out a track Basement Jax made for it, a very tasty number. In fact, they did the entire soundtrack, and a number of the songs can be listened to at that site.
Finally the time is here: Thor hits screens everywhere this weekend! We have one more direct release after this, Captain America: The First Avenger, in our build up to the actual Avenger movie itself. Also out this week in limited release is I’m Not Jesus Mommy, a human cloning project who’s one viable fetus was based on DNA taken from the Shroud of Turin.
The trailer for Immortals gives a taste of what this ancient Greek fantasy adventure will be like, of a time when Micky Rourke was out to kill all humanity and the gods.
No one is admitting anything as of this writing, but it looks like a wonderfully done Fan made trailer for TRON 3. While I wouldn’t mind not having to wait 30 years for the next release in the franchise, I suspect this isn’t it. It would be nice, though.
Update: The video has been removed, but for a few brief days it was a wonderfully creative Fan built tribute to the series. Every time a conclusion like this is reached, I visualize a behind-the-scenes battle between the Marketing Department (who understand how well the free publicity and good will generated by the fan support something like this will bring them will increase their bottom line) and the Legal Department (who only seem to understand they are not justifying their paycheck if they are not taking legal action against someone) going on. A word to the wise for upper management; don’t you want to support the team improving your bottom line, rather than their own income?
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night is based on the popular Italian comic book series and stars Brandon Routh, who seems to be specializing in these kind of things (Superman Returns, Scott Pilgrim). Dylan is a supernatural detective fighting monsters in the swamps of Louisiana, and yes, they switched the local from London to New Orleans when they made the film transition. This is another project from Platinum Studios, who are also involved with Cowboys and Aliens, due out in July. There is word that Thor will be showing up in a very few theaters, in advance of it’s wide area release next week. And one more worth noting, also in limited release; The Speed of Thought is the story of a telepath who has been raised in a NSA foster home.
But silly fun, and it is from Marvel…
