Joe Cornish to Direct RUST

The story centers on a boy with a jetpack named Jet Jones who crashes into a family farm in the American heartland after being chased by a decommissioned war robot. The eldest son of the family that owns the farm not only has to work to keep the farm alive during the war, but now must deal with the mysterious jetpack boy whose past secrets may or may not be the key to the family’s survival. Hit the jump for more.

News of Cornish’s involvement with Rust comes via Deadline, but it’s unclear where Rust fits into his schedule. He recently signed on to write and direct an adaptation of Neil Stephenson’s bestselling novel Snow Crash, but a timetable for that highly anticipated project is unknown. In addition to Attack the Block, Cornish co-wrote Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin with Edgar Wright and Stephen Moffat, and he’s also been working on the script for Marvel’s Ant-Man with Wright for quite some time. Hopefully we hear word regarding which film Cornish plans to tackle next soon, but regardless I’m eager to see his sophomore effort.

Alex Proyas to Adapt Mike Mingola and Christopher Golden’s JOE GOLEM AND THE DROWNING CITY

Alex Proyas (Knowing) is set to adapt the graphic novel Joe Golem and the Drowning City by Hellboy creator Mike Mingola and Christopher Golden. Per Deadline, the “supernatural-steampunk illustrated novel follows an orphaned teenage girl, an aging magician, a lunatic scientist, a Victorian occult detective, and the stalwart sidekick, Joe Golem—a man whose strange dreams hint of a history he has forgotten–as they struggle for the fate of an alternate 1970s lower Manhattan. In this vision, lower Manhattan sank into the water during a catastrophic earthquake in 1925, leaving those unwilling or unable to abandon it to make a new life in streets turned to canals.” I never in a million years would have guessed that this story came from the mind of Mike Mingola.

The last time Mingola’s work landed on screen, we got Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, but Proyas is no Guillermo Del Toro. The Australian director plans to shoot Joe Golem in his native land, but Deadline doesn’t mention if Proyas plans to make this his next movie. He’s also attached to direct The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag and Gods of Egypt. Hit the jump for a synopsis of Mingola and Golden’s novel.

Here’s the synopsis for Mike Mingola and Christopher Golden’s Joe Golem and the Drowning City:


In 1925, earthquakes and a rising sea level left Lower Manhattan submerged under more than thirty feet of water, so that its residents began to call it the Drowning City. Those unwilling to abandon their homes created a new life on streets turned to canals and in buildings whose first three stories were underwater. Fifty years have passed since then, and the Drowning City is full of scavengers and water rats, poor people trying to eke out an existence, and those too proud or stubborn to be defeated by circumstance.

Among them are fourteen-year-old Molly McHugh and her friend and employer, Felix Orlov. Once upon a time Orlov the Conjuror was a celebrated stage magician, but now he is an old man, a psychic medium, contacting the spirits of the departed for the grieving loved ones left behind. When a seance goes horribly wrong, Felix Orlov is abducted by strange men wearing gas masks and rubber suits, and Molly soon finds herself on the run.

Her flight will lead her into the company of a mysterious man, and his stalwart sidekick, Joe Golem, whose own past is a mystery to him, but who walks his own dreams as a man of stone and clay, brought to life for the sole purpose of hunting witches.

Sad Trombone: 'John Carter' Fans Use Booth At Comic-Con To Collect Signatures For A Sequel | The Playlist

There is a booth at ‪#SDCC‬ asking for signatures for a petition to have a John Carter sequel," someone in San Diego tweeted today. And we almost couldn't believe it, so we did some digging, and yep, according to related site John Carter Two, they are indeed at Comic-Con, sharing a table where they are not only making sure to keep hope alive, but doing some giveaways for "John Carter"-related gear as well. In essence, they are marketing the movie long after Disney has given up, and you would hope the studio is paying attention, if only to throw them swag for their trouble.

Godzilla Trailer Screens At Comic-Con | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

godzilla-comic-con-poster.jpg


The trailer started with some footage of huge urban devastation, and then as we saw more and more shots of buildings smashed to pieces, we catch a glimpse of train, apparently trampled by a giant foot and then a building with a huge hole through the middle.

As though Godzilla had walked right through it.

And then, a curving shot finds Godzilla’s some kaiju’s body, apparently dead on the ground – arms revealed as Oppenheimer talks about Vishna’s many arms. Cut to a logo and the famous Godzilla roar as we know and love it, timed just perfectly to Oppenheimer’s speech.

And then we were back to a shot of Godzilla, alive. The trailer tracked up his back and came to head level, just in time for him to turn around, show his face, his slightly snub snouted face, and roar again.

It’s an astonishing creature design, very grounded.

The trailer was then repeated to audience excitement just about off the charts.

So many sorry interpretations and dubbing of Godzilla films have appear in the U.S (not that I am hating those early dubs have made a fan), but when I heard that the Oppenheimer speech was mentioned in that preview and people shook, well, because previous American adaptations were too hesitant to mentioned we nuked them and gave them that fear that nuclear monstrosities were going to rise from the sea...



Yeah, I am looking forward to it.

The first bomb might have ended the war (enough evidence suggest the Japanese wanted to surrender before that)

The Second was showing off...

A real true guilt ridden perspective of Godzilla instead of the typical white washed American washed version? Count me in!
