Just when you think they're out of Top Cow properties, another one gets optioned. We have Witchblade , Magdalena , and Fathom all cooking in pre-production. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Top Cow is re-teaming with Platinum Studios and Threshold Entertainment to give Aphrodite IX her turn. Th...

When the guy who programs the Midnight Madness slate at the Toronto Film Festival gets excited about a new event, you can bet that it's going to be something pretty geek-tastic. So last night I got an email from Mr. Colin Geddes and here's what he was so psyched about: They gave writer / director / ...

As you probably already know by now, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World tells the story of a 23-year-old Canadian slacker (Michael Cera) who must battle and defeat Ramona Flower’s (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) seven evil ex-boyfriends to win her heart. In director Edgar Wright’s latest photoblog, w...

Rick Marshall was right -- thanks to the major studios toning it down for NYCC, we're getting a lot of nice updates on the "smaller" comic book films from the con. Remember X-Men: First Class?

A helpful commenter on Cinematical has pointed out a recent interview PiQ magazine did with Edgar Wright.

I'll Be Back! Batman stud Christian Bale has inked a deal to put him in the lofty shoes of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bale will star in 3 new Terminator movies as We dig Bale. He's a stud.
