Linkorama Monday 26th July

Comic Con Coverage, Pirates, Cloverfield, And More!

I must apologise for the lack of a Linkorama on the Friday just gone...I tried to write something up, but I couldn't find anything that was particularly interesting to write about. Of course, that decision may come back and bite me, so I'll just let you know that Zack Snyder has got the rights to do the script to Frank Miller's 300 Prequel "Xerxes" and that Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Doll House) is down to direct Marvel's The Avengers. Apart from that, nothing much interesting.

Comic Con Coverage



Rather than post thousands of links myself (I know, that's the point of this blog entry, but still), I'll link you to the Comic Con coverage by JoBlo.

In this coverage, you'll find everything that was revealed at SDCC this year, and everything that they've been able to sneak out. I have to say, The Walking Dead looks fantastic.

I recognised every scene from the first issue, recreated perfectly in film. I wish I could have gone to Comic Con...

Godzilla Reboot



Coming Soon have managed to find themselves a copy of the Godzilla image released at this years Comic Con. If you're wondering what the odd little image is in the corner, it's something that caused a webcam at the Legendary Pictures booth to show a small animation of Godzilla's "Atomic Breath."

Pirates Of The Caribbean 4



I'm looking forward to this for a couple of reasons.

1. Zombies...there are Zombies. I like Zombies.

2. Just Jack. The first trilogy is over, no more having to put up with Keria Knightley or Orlando Bloom. I also like that.

But I also heard that Russel Brand is playing Jack's brother...which I'm not so happy about. We'll have to wasit and see what the balance is for this film...

Cloverfield 2

Just a little snippet for this one, but it would appear that Cloverfield 2 is most definitely on the books. TotalFilm have reported Matt Reeves as saying:

“Cloverfield 2 is on hold for now. J.J is very involved with Super 8, and I've been doing Let Me In, so we have shelved it until we can get the team from the first back together."


Which all sounds good. I'll keep you updated on all things Cloverfield as they come my way.


That's all for today folks, come back tomorrow for more!

  1. Oh Boy! am I also glad that KK and Orlando are gone!!!! woohoo!!!!
    Not sure about Russle Brand- not the best actor in the world- I think they may have gone for looks maybe???? as in- he looks like he might be his brother so we'll save on the makeup :)

  2. A fourth installment? Well that pretty much eliminates the trilogy, as much as I enjoyed the films I'm comparatively positive that this only indicates a lack of creativity on the behalf of the creators, especially as they are resorting to capitalising on a trilogy which had it's ''final'' movie a few years ago.

  3. Actually they always planned on continuing the series. The first trilogy was it's own story.

    The new series is a new storyline, focusing on Captain Jack and his hunt for the fountain of youth (which he started at the end of the third film).
