‘Wanted’ director Timur Bekmambetov produces ‘Black Lightning’ movie – see the trailer now!

‘Wanted’ director Timur Bekmambetov produces ‘Black Lightning’ movie – see the trailer now!

All right, so Black Lightning is the translation of the movie title Черная молния from Russian.

And it probably won’t have that name when it gets released in the United States, as it has as much to do with the DC Comics character created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden as Mr. Miyagi’s protege has to do with the Legion of Super-Heroes. (Hmm. Maybe not the best example there.)

But it’s still a great deal of fun. Take a look:

Now, if you actually want to see more work from Black Lightning’s creators, we’re happy to show you the latest chapter of The Original Johnson by Trevor Von Eeden here on ComicMix just up today (the print edition is available for pre-order now in the Diamond catalog, hint hint) and you can visit Tony’s web site for great reviews and commentary.

#SDCC: James Cameron presents ‘Avatar’

#SDCC: James Cameron presents ‘Avatar’

In the grand hall denoted only as “H”, swarms of Comic-Con goers were given a treat of global proportions. 24 minutes of James Cameron’s upcoming Avatar was screened for those on hand. Of course all recording devices were banned from use, but that didn’t keep bloggers away from their terminals as soon as the panel was finished. Here’s the low down of what we know was shown:

Jake Sully (being played by Sam Worthington) is shown entering a military briefing, confined to a wheelchair. We’re reassured by a gruff officer that it’s his job to keep them all alive… but (dun-dun-dunnnnnn) he assures the soliders in the room, including Jake, that he won’t be successful.

From here, we move quickly to a lab where we meet Jake’s ‘Avatar’, an artificial/alien body that will be piloted by Jake after his DNA is combined (via the Avatar program, natch) with the Na’vi alien race. We meet Dr. Grace Augustine (played by sci-fi fan favorite, Sigourney Weaver),  who helps load Jake into the Avatar machine, after a bit of playful banter.

Cue the special effects. We enter Oz, err, Pandora.

Transformer Title Fights: Tag Team Main Event!

Transformer Title Fights: Tag Team Main Event!

Transformers… more than meets the eye. This, we know. But what happens when the mighty all-spark malfunctions and sends the Michael Bay Monstrosities to wage war against the Autobots and Decepticons of our shared youth? Only you, the cosmically-conscious Comic Mix commenters can conclude! Now cast your votes!

The Main Event: Team Optimus versus Team Megatron!

So, for the past week or so, you fine folks out there have debated and argued in admiration for your favorite G1 Transformers or for the Michael Bay Monsters. But when it came down to this author simply could not make the leader of the Autobots fight himself. And Megatron? Puh-leaze… if given the chance, he’d team up with himself for the opportunity to decimate his red rival. So, without further adieu… let’s let the energon fly!

In the Blue and Red Corner, we have our fearless leaders! They are the semi’s of superiority! They are the bots with the brains and the brawn! They are the holders of the Matrix! It’s Team Optimus Prime! The Generation 1 Blocky Bot comes packed to the gills with firepower. From his trusty sidearm, to his tractor-trailer packed with a powerful turret, Optimus Prime of the G1 Autobots is ready to rumble! Tag teaming with his movie counterpoint, comes his partner, the beefy Semi-cab with a fancy flaming paint job! The movie Optimus is very similar to his G1 counterpart. While he lacks G1’s fancy Energon axe, he does come with an articulated mouth. So, he’s got that going for him, right?

On the other side of the ring comes a team of pure malevolence. G1 Megatron was always a dastardly foe, who turned into a potent hand gun. Sure, his handgun form was miniscule in comparison to his normal robot size, but then again, G1 Transformers had no problem changing size at will. Packed with his own arm cannon as well an energon mace… the Silver Centurion of Sinister Spite is certain to cause his fair share of slaughter. And who better to wield him in gun mode then… himself! The movie Megatron this time around is a bombastic tank, after he frees himself from the briney deep he was left in, thanks to plucky Sam Witwicky.

It’s the battle you’ve been waiting for. So folks… who takes the crown? Optimus Squared may have the soul, but Mega-Megatron is gonna be pretty pissed. It’s a big battlefield out there. I expect the ensuring war to destroy plenty of buildings… but not come near Megan Fox and her pouty lips. Please vote below for your favorite team, and remember…

The future is built on dreams. Hang on to them. And then make sure you voted for your favorite Witwicky, Devastator, Bumblebee, and Soundwave!

‘Star Blazers’ redone right

‘Star Blazers’ redone right

  • News
  • June 19, 2009

I have no idea where this came from, exactly– Michael Pinto, the world’s biggest Star Blazers fan, tells me that it came from a Pachinko game, and he says it’s better than the film trailer that they made. So look at this as a high water mark that the filmmakers have to meet.

Preview: ‘V’ 2.0

Preview: ‘V’ 2.0

Like we haven’t had enough science fiction shows from the 80’s remade lately… here’s the trailer from ABC’s upfronts for V:

Yes, that’s Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost and Morena Baccarin from Firefly with the butch haircut.

Interestingly, some people are finding current political metaphor in it, such as David Sirota in Salon:

Am I crazy or does this preview make the show seem like a
not-so-subtle fringe-right-wing criticism of Obama and Obama followers?

In questioning Obama’s citizenship and heritage, conservatives
have always portrayed Obama as an alien visitor. They’ve also
constantly implied that behind Obama’s friendly veneer are sinister
motives – and they seem to believe that while most of the public are
gullible fools believing in Obama as a savior, they and their tea-party
protestors see the “real truth” of those motives.

Now, didn’t I basically just describe that preview?

And James Poniewozik from Time:

Remake of the classic alien-invasion miniseries plays in the trailer,
weirdly, like an allegory of the Obama election: aliens come to Earth,
promise “hope” and “change” (words actually used), inspire cult-like
devotion, but have creepy intent and are secretly lizards. Maybe I’m
reading too much into it. But it has potential to be Glenn Beck’s new
favorite show.

The original metaphor was the Aliens were based on the Nazis. Now it’s Obama? Terrific.
