The trailer led you to believe this movie was just Superbad dressed up in tights. The trailer lied to you.

Transforming Frankenstein’s monster into a tough-as-bolts (sorry, I couldn’t help myself), Philip Marlowe-esque P.I. is what scientists refer to as a damn good idea. In fact, it’s a stroke of brilliance I would be happy to claim as my own, but the credit all goes to Kevin Grievoux, who also happens to be the guy who created the Underworld series.
It was announced today that Universal Studios has snatched up the film rights to Image Comics’ The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft. I have a major soft spot for the work of Lovecraft (mixing horror and genius is a good way to tug at my heartstrings), and wasn’t even aware this comic book existed, so this is big news on all fronts. What’s more, the studio is targeting Ron Howard to direct, which makes for one hell of an interesting combination, even if he’s still in in the maybe column.
Zack Snyder pulls off the impossible, creating one of the finest superhero films ever to hit the silver screen in the process.
Alan Moore’s Watchmen flirted with the animated form not long ago with the digital release of the somewhat poorly realized “motion comic”, which actually happened to be an interesting idea that was tragically marred by the fact they had one dude handle the entirety of the voice-work (and that includes his husky interpretation of all the female characters). I know their heart was in the right place, but if you seriously know so few women that you can’t find even one to do a tiny bit of voice acting for you, then working on a motion comic version of anything should be the least of your concerns.
‘ve never been one to mince words, so I’ll just come right out and say that I thought Brett Ratner thoroughly curb-stomped the dreams of mutant lovers everywhere with the nigh-unbearable X-Men: The Last Stand. Luckily, I have about as much remaining attachment to the X-Men franchise as I do parachute pants, so all that wasted celluloid was hardly something worth getting up in arms about. The same would likely be true for Ratner’s latest foray into comic book-to-film adaptations, but only if there wasn’t something so strangely insulting about someone actually making a Youngblood movie.
Sorry. No data so far.
