Even though the eagerly awaited Tintin movie is still in post-production, and no final footage (or even still photography) has been made available so far, Flemish media were abuzz last week with news that director Steven Spielberg was considering Belgium as the location for its sequel.

The new trailer for Luc Besson’s Adèle Blanc-Sec movie (based on Jacques Tardi’s bandes dessinées) finally shows some sneak peaks at the monsters, the mummies and the madmen. Looks quite promising !

KoldCast TV created this interesting piece of infoporn on the evolution of the impact of superheroes on the movie business (click for a bigger version). Delightful to see that Big Blue is still the symbol par excellence for superheroes, even without DC-controlled indicia…

This has been floating around the interwebs for a few weeks, but due my state of total out-of-touchness, I only became aware of it over the weekend. And so here it is : Adrian Tomine’s cover for the next Eels album, which is expected for January, 2010.

“Everybody should have read the book” – wonderful piece of satire. They even got the accents right.

With rumors on a possible Green Lantern movie seeping down the interwebs, there’s no shortage of fan-made trailers. This one, by Jaron Pitts is by far the most professional one, and, if nothing else, the most promising one in terms of story and faithfulness to the Lantern mythology.
But Pitts isn’t the only one who’s trying his hand at Lantern moviemaking. Check out some other attempts after the click.
