Fan Expo: Kevin Eastman to bring us another Heavy Metal movie in 2010

August 25, 2008August 27, 2008 Danny X 2 Comments

Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and current owner and editor of Heavy Metal Magazine, is planning on bringing another Heavy Metal Movie to the big screen. The story was broken by Variety Magazine on March 13 2008, but Eastman was kind enough to give us a few more details on the production, including some director talk. The new film will include a series of vignettes, each of which will be done by a different director. Until now, only Eastman, David Fincher, and Blur Studios’ Tim…

Fan Expo: Eddie Olmos & Aaron Douglas talk about the next Battlestar feature film

August 24, 2008July 25, 2009 Danny X Fan Expo, FXC 20083 Comments

Almost live from Fan Expo, Admiral Adama himself is talking about directing the next feature-length Battlestar Galactica film. Olmos describes the project as a “Major motion picture”, although that appears to be a slip of the tongue, as Aaron Douglas later confirmed with rgbFilter’s Alex that the project is in fact a 2-hour television event that will air on the Sci-Fi channel.

Our second day at Fan Expo is in the can. Some features we have to bring you include: One-on-one video interviews with Star Trek Voyager’s Kate Mulgrew, legendary director Wes Craven, cult favourite Henry Winkler, and the 2nd man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin. Legendary comic book artist Brian Bolland (The Killing Joke) sits down in front of the camera to discuss a little bit of everything. He also gave us a little present that we’ll be giving away very soon. More on that later. Tons and tons of insider…

Fan Expo Day 1: Through a Convention Centre, darkly

August 22, 2008July 25, 2009 Danny X Fan Expo, FXC 20080 comment

August 22, 2008 – 11:48 PM: Day 1 of Fan Expo is over, and what a day it was. It all started out with what was easily the finest example of poor planning and organization as we, along with several other members of the press, sat in a little room on hard plastic chairs for 5 straight hours on the promise that our press badges were going to be delivered to us “any minute now”. It absolutely has to be said that, considering its size and importance in the Convention…

Fan Expo: Indie Comic publisher “Fantasy Prone” wants to take you to a whole new world…with dinosaurs

August 22, 2008July 25, 2009 Danny X Fan Expo, Fantasy Prone, FXC 2008, interview7 Comments

In “United Free Worlds”, mankind discovers a new planet in our solar system and decides to colonize it. This is, apparently, a mistake. The book was written by Blake Leibel (Director & Writer, Spaceballs: The Animated Series) and drawn by Jason Raines (Director, Spaceballs: TAS). Fantasy Prone president Lawrence Longo and staff writer Jeff Wood were kind enough to take a couple of minutes to discuss the book with us. Check the video out here. (It’s labeled “rgb Fan Expo B”.) rgbFilter will be giving away prize packs including UFW…

It’s not TV, it’s NIN

August 21, 2008July 25, 2009 Danny X Nine Inch Nails1 Comment

According to the LA Times, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor is in talks to bring his politically charged “Year Zero” to HBO as a 2-season series. The story of Year Zero has so far been released in 2 formats; first, as the 2007 Nine Inch Nails album of the same name, and second, as an Alternate Reality Game consisting of a variety of media and forms of communication that expanded upon the album’s storyline.

“TROPIC THUNDER” just plain stupid fun, but doesn’t live up to the hype.

August 17, 2008August 23, 2008 Danny X 3 Comments

AN RGBFILTER MOVIE REVIEW:Tropic Thunder Written by Ben Stiller & Justin Theroux Directed by Ben Stiller Starring Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, Brandon T. Jackson. If this summer’s lot of superhero hype has left you wanting for some lighter-hearted fare (and you couldn’t get tickets to Pineapple Express), then Tropic Thunder should fit the bill. The movie comes out of the gate swinging with an utterly hilarious cold-opening sequence that manages to introduce us to the mains as well as set the tone for the entire story…

Coolest. Clock. Ever.

August 15, 2008August 23, 2008 Danny X 0 comment

Some dude named Simon Heys has taken all his free time and put it to good use, so you too can now count your free time. Presenting the Word Clock, a free screensaver that works for both PC and MAC. It’s a word based clock that comes in 2 flavours, Block Text (pictured above) and Rotating Dial. I’d say this goes in the running for coolest screensaver ever. The only thing it’s missing is a groovy jazzy tune and some girls going gymnastics in a library, but I can live…

Leaked Fall Series are absolutely totally probably not intentional, maybe.

Fall’s coming. Leaves changing, kids back in school (and sharing your subway commute with you to work every day), weather gets a little brisk…good thing there’s plenty of new stuff on TV to keep you indoors. You may or may not have already seen the promos…I remember sitting through a 2:30 commercial for Life on Mars just for me to say at the end, “meh, the British version was better.” Obviously, the hype machine isn’t working too well on me, and to be honest, with marketing including the line…

More WATCHMEN eye candy from ComicCon

August 12, 2008August 12, 2008 Danny X 2 Comments

Our friends over at SuperHeroHype have posted the high-rez images of the Watchmen posters that were unveiled at ComicCon San Diego last week. Normally I’m no fan of showing too much of a hyped movie, especially one as touchy as Watchmen, because it only serves to build things up in one’s mind and leads to greater disappointment when things don’t pan out as one expects. If it were up to me, my entire marketing campaign would cost 50 bucks…and would consist of nothing more than a couple quick glimpses of…
