2010 Fantasy Movie Preview

by revgeorge on February 7, 2010

Over at The Torch Online Heather Hogan has put together a nice preview of upcoming fantasy films in 2010.  Quite a few films coming out this year, including some big ones.  Ms. Hogan has previewed 15 films, the most notable, in my opinion, being Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, and last but not least, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.

Check out all the previews, since there’s also quite a few others of interest to people who regularly read this blog.  Oh yeah, there’s also some movie with sparkly vampires coming out this year too. :)

They’re Adapting Your Favorite Book or Comic!!

by revgeorge on December 15, 2009

Found this article on The Torch Online.  I post it for two reasons:  One, it’s a nice, thoughtful article on a topic we’ve discussed much here regarding adapting books or comics for the big screen, and Two, it mentions specific books/comics we’ve talked about much here, namely The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the Watchmen.  Plus, our very own Matthew/Korg is mentioned.  See if you can find where! ;)

Feel free to share your thoughts on the article here.  Enjoy!

Deathly Hallows Poster!

by Travis Prinzi on December 9, 2009

Just got a note from Sue Upton that this poster is not a “real” movie poster from Warner Brothers. Apparently, it showed up and was debunked a few YEARS ago. Just goes to show how out of touch I am with the latest in pretend movie posters.

Scary Harry? Frightening Moments in Potter Films

by Travis Prinzi 10.19.2009
