Sneak Peek: ‘Push’
Summit Entertainment has gotten tremendous publicity for its successful release of Twilight, based on Stephenie Meyer’s novel. The studio may prove they are not just a one-trick pony when they release Push on February 6, 2009. The movie has been garnering good buzz since it was previewed at Comic-Con International followed by a well-received trailer in October. A prequel, setting up the world of Push has been published by WildStorm, with script by Entertainment Weekly’s Marc Bernardin and Adam Freeman with art by Bruno Redondo and covers by Mario Alberti. The third of six issues will be in store December 24.
Written by David Bourla (Larceny), the film has been directed by Paul McGuigan (Lucky Number Slevin). The cast includes Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Dakota Fanning (The Secret Life of Bees), Camilla Belle (When a Stranger Calls) and Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond).
Push involves psychic espionage with agents trained to do different things including:
Movers – Can simply move objects.
Pushers – Can push thoughts into the minds of other people making them believe they’re real.
Watchers – Can see into the future.
Bleeders – Emit a high pitch noise that can disable or even kill people.
Sniffers – Can see a history of anything they smell.
Shifters – Can change the shape of objects around them for a short time.
Wipers – Can wipe the memory of those around them.
Shadows – Can clock themselves in a shadow, almost as if they’re invisible.
Stichers – Can heal others.
Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard) replaces Tim Story (Fantastic Four) as director on the Warner Bros. adaptation of Vertigo’s Losers.
A black man could be elected president today. But he would not necessarily be the first depicted in the media. After all, we’ve already seen black presidents such as Morgan Freeman in Deep Impact but even he was beaten to the Oval Office in 1976 by New York Governor Timothy Pettigrew.
Nate Powell hits upon some pretty heavy subject matter in his latest graphic novel Swallow Me Whole, now out frolm Top Shelf. We’re talking childhood schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, family breakdown, animal telepathy, and misguided love, just to name a few. The Indiana-based cartoonist traverses the familiar territory of teen angst and all the growing pains associated with it in his new work, but without the formulaic melodrama that so often saturates the topic. When he isn’t tackling the troubling madness of adolescence as an author and artist, Powell splits his time operating DIY punk label Harlan Records and works with adults with developmental disabilities.

, we have been told time and time again that this power would basically screw us over. I mean, in that novel, the main character found himself permanently invisible, went insane and then became a maddened killer before he was put down like a dog in the street. This idea of how much it would suck to be permanently unseen has been told time and time again, including the 1950s [[[Invisible Man]]] television series and the Chevy Chase adaptation of
