#DisneyNEWS And also..

 And also, here's some more random tidbits that caught my eyes from that Disney Investors-thingie.

Looks like we're finally getting that Y: The Last Man live action adaptation, in the form of a new series on FX and Hulu:

Great, but I was hoping for a teaser trailer...

And with the announcement of a new Predator film, now under the 20th Century Studios banner, it's time for the Alien franchise with..

"Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth." Oh huh.. not sure I dig this tagline. Is this a prequel/sequel to Alien Resurrection with a devastated Earth? I never liked the idea of the Alien franchise heading to Earth, comics or otherwise... Wait and see..

#MarvelNEWS Marvel's Runaways Teaser (Official) • A Hulu Original

There's a new Marvel MCU show coming up. No, forget Inhumans. (Sorry Black Bolt.)

We're now finally getting a live action show based on Marvel's Runaways! This one was long in development, since there's been rumors since around the first Iron Man! Check it out, it was worth the wait:



It looks pretty faithful to Brian K Vaughan's comic series. And we even get a little nod to the team's resident dino. The show will be launched on Hulu on November 21.

#TV News! Under the Dome sneak peek

Here's an upcoming TV series coming from Steven Spielberg & Stephen King.

"Under the Dome" based on the famous Thriller wrote by King under the same name. Spielberg's trying to come up with another TV series after the disaster that was Terra Nova?

An episodic adaptation of a book? Looks like a new trend picking up. And after the comic book-turned-series Walking Dead, I'm all for more of these over movie adaptations.

The show is developed by writer Brian K. Vaughan - which is good news.

It will air on CBS this summer, here's a quick look at it:

#FanFilm Friday - Y: The Last Man: the fan film

Here's something pretty impressive for this week!


While the actual live movie adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's apocalyptic thriller comic book Y: The Last Man has been in development hell for almost a decade some fans took it in their hands to make their own live adaptation of this classic Vertigo Comics series.

From what I've read, the latest rumors says it might by Louis Leterrier (Transporter, Incredible Hulk) that might make the movie. He seems to prefer if it was a TV series, but the studio is pushing for a movie instead.
Cramming all this epic into a 2 hours story?...mmmh.. I don't like the sound of that, and a movie series could only work if they're successful enough for a big studio. (and making it a big simple blockbuster might lose a lot in translation as well...)

Anyways,
That didn't stop these guys at IGN from trying to adapt the series into this following fanfilm
Here's a synopsis for those of you that might have missed this classic:

"A mysterious plague has wiped out all men on the planet, and women are left to pick up the pieces of society. The only surviving man is Yorick, an amateur escape artist who is the key to the continual survival of the human race. Special Agent 355 is tasked to protect his life at all costs. Luckily, she's really good at her job..."

This might have been produced with no profit but it certainly looks amazing!
Directed and Written by Christian Cardona





Very, very nice!
I loved it!
I could imagine an actual on-going show much in the same vein as The Walking Dead TV series.

Okay, not a real comic book page per-say, but too good to pass off.

CBR Wha...HUH?

 

If you read comics, chances are, you probably know all those "alternate universes" stories, those What if... or Elseworlds books Marvel or DC like to put out from time to time, exploring alternate turn of events, other worlds and whatnots....

Well, here's something similar...yet totally different.

This isn't your classic What ifs, this is...
