Nicolas Winding Refn announces ‘The Neon Demon.’ Let’s do this.
Ryan Gosling’s cinematic Best Friend is getting ready to begin filming his next jam. It’s a female-led horror flick called The Neon Demon. Don’t worry, Nicky. I got the tagline for this shit. “From Neon Noir to the NEON DEMON comes the new film from Ryan Gosling’s Cinematic Best Friend!!!” I’m pretty much a genius marketer.
Wacom dropping free digital anthology feat: Doyle, Farinas, Milonogiannis, and more
Pretty fucking killer. That artistic tablet company place, Wacom, is dropping a free digital anthology. Usually I’m all like “Free?!” and then I don’t get excited because I only feel validated when I spend my hard earned Imperial credits. But fuck. Wacom has stacked the deck with some filthy talent on this giveaway.
Brian Wood taking over ‘Spawn’ with 250th issue with Jonboy Meyers on art.
I haven’t enjoyed (or more specifically, read) Spawn for like…half a lifetime. Literally. I’m thirty-one. I fucking worshipped it when I was probably fifteen. But man. When I loved that comic, I fucking *loved* it. Same goes for Sam and Twitch when Bendis was penning it. But yeah. Like. Half a life has passed and the question has been, “what could ever get me to read the title again?” I’ve found the answer. Brian Wood.
Rumor: Fox is developing ‘X-Men’ live-action TV show
I’m there. I’m there. I’m comic book-adaptation’d out. (Of course I’m exempting the Marvel Studios shit from this fatigue. Because: fanboy.) I mean Fox is developing an X-Men TV show and I can’t seem to give a fuck.
‘Fantastic Four’ comic ending; totally not out of corporate vindictiveness
A summer rumor has become an autumn fact. Fantastic Four is getting cancelled, taking the First Family out of the Marvel Universe. The rumor had it that Marvel was doing so in order to malign Fox, who owns the movie rights over them. And while I imagine The Foursome will return (conveniently after the movie push is over), this is forty-four shades of fucking dumb.
Mondo dropping collectible vinyl of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1’
Man! I don’t have a fucking record player! Which I know totally cuts me down like three-thousand points in some people’s eyes. SORRY BRO, I’M CYBERNETIC. I LISTEN TO MY DEATH METAL THROUGH A ZUNE I HAVE HAD IMPLANTED IN THE UPPER CORNERS OF MY ANUS. CO-ANUS-IAL CABLE. Oh God I hate myself. What the fuck am I even saying? Uh — right.
Anyways. Mondo is continuing to release dope-ass collectible comic book vinyls, this time with an Awesome Mix.
Hit the jump for the glorious artwork + details.
‘Jupiter Ascending’ Trailer: I’ve Always Loved Dogs
So like. Jupiter Ascending. It can’t be conventionally good, can it? (Whatever the fuck that means.) But something tells me that the goddamn insane hodgepodge of science-fiction visuals, Wachowskian action, and Channing Tatum with a tail is going to sell me on this movie. Somehow. Somehow!
Crazy Aquaman rumor for ‘Batman v. Superman’
Let’s talk Batman v. Superman rumors! Yeah why the fuck not! It’s Monday night! I’m sitting in shorts, my Padmé Amidala baby doll, and my comfy crocs. Ain’t got nowhere to go. Ain’t got nothing better to do. The latest rumor involves newly christened OL Babe Khal Drogo (ever since the great booth flyby of 2014) and his role as Aquaman.
‘Final Fantasy XV’ TGS Gameplay Demo: The Behemoth Cometh
The first five or so minutes of this “gameplay demo” is pretty fucking boring. But then a wild behemoth appears and you get to see FFXV‘s battle system in action. Which I’m diggin’.
No Sh*t Rumor: Obi-Wan getting standalone ‘Star Wars’ flick
In what is apparently a *rumor*, but what strikes me as *no fucking shit*, there’s murmurings that Obi-Wan is getting his own standalone movie. Like, this is obvious, right?
