There’s a great sound track to these movies that add a new level of interest to the whole proceedings. However, there seems to be a lot of mixed reactions over the voice actors, and whether of not these videos are actually any good. Tell us what you think.
Speed Date, the controversial comic strip which appeared in the 2010 edition of Hallowscream, (and gained an equally unpleasant sequel in the recent 2011 issue), is now also a short film. It had its first public screening at this year’s annual Irish Film Institute Horrorthon.
Speed Kills, (the original title was already taken), is adapted from Dirk Van Dom’s original comic strip by Alan Rogers, who also produces, directs and stars as the depraved protagonist, Tucker.
You can show your support and find out about further screenings, and all the other information you’d care to know, on the official Facebook page HERE.
This short film is a fan made adaptation of Ben Templesmith’s werewolf comic published by IDW Welcome to Hoxford. Directed by Julien Mokrani. Written & Artistic Coordination by Samuel Bodin. With Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher & Arben Bajraktaraj. This movie is so well made it’s impossible not to be impressed by it. It’s highly stylized which suits the movie as it’s only 20 minutes long. However, the short length does leave you wanting to see a complete adaptation of the comic.
Alma (2009) is the brainchild of ex-Pixar animator Rodrigo Blass. Alma is Rodrigo Blaas’ first short film as a director. Originally from Spain, Rodrigo Blaas has worked in animation for more than ten years, in Spain and in the United States.
Seizing the possibility of directing his first independent short film, Rodrigo Blaas asked some of the best artists in their field to take part in this independent project: French animator Bolhem Bouchiba, character designer Carlos Grangel and Sergio Pablos, ArtDirector Alfonso Blaas, music composer Mastretta and sound designer Tom Myers.
It’s deliciously creepy and worth watching for any fan of horror.

When we first heard Locke & Key was coming to the small screen there was a huge buzz of excitement in comic geek land. Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s horror story feels almost perfect for an on-screen adaptation. Imagine the dissapointment when, after loads of teasing, industry reports and a full blown pilot episode, Fox decided to drop the project. Don’t worry, they will rot in hell. The full episode was shown at the recent San Diego Comic Con, hopefully it will eventually make its way on to the internet. For now we just have the trailer…
Looks pretty awesome as far as I’m concerned. Maybe it will get picked by another network…we live in hope.
Marvel’s Ghost Rider gets his second movie due for release February 2012. Once again Nicholas Cage is the demon stunt rider with the flaming skull. Check out the trailer below or visit the official site here www.thespiritofvengeance.com
Yet another big screen adaption of a popular comic book hits the cinemas this week. Cowboys & Aliens is a 2006 graphic novel created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and written by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley, with Luciano Lima and Dennis Calero in the art department.
I gotta say, what an absolutely fantastic name and concept. Shame about the tag line on the poster above, terrible.
On paper the signs look promising. It has a great cast including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Sam Rockwell. Iron Man director Jon Favreau has the helm, Ron Howard is producer, and comic creator Rosenberg onboard for input. Have you seen this film? Let us know your thoughts.
Obviously Fridays aren’t really made for high brow discussions on literary classics so for the sake of restoring balance here’s a sexy lady dancing in a Vampirella costume. Enjoy!
