Legends of the Knight, a Documentary on the Power of Storytelling (and Batman)

by Susana Polo | 5:49 pm, February 21st, 2013

There’s a familiar face in this documentary, but I just can’t put my finger on it…

Seriously though, I’ll support anything that argues for the power of stories to do good in the world and for people, and not, for example, that comics cause delinquency or video games cause mass murder. You can check out Legends of the Knight‘s Kickstarter campaign right here.

Many weren’t surprised considering the reputation child actors have for troubled lives, but in a recent interview with L.A. Times Hero Complex the now 22-year-old discussed his problem candidly, specifically saying that the role wasn’t to blame for it.

This Is What the Green Goblin in 2002′s Spider-Man Almost Looked Like [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 11:28 am, December 17th, 2011

Before Sam Raimi settled on a shiny protective mask for his Green Goblin (played by Willem Dafoe), he tested out what is admittedly some pretty sick makeup that would have rendered Gobbie as more of a creature than a superhuman madman nemesis for his first Spider-Man movie. And for the first time, we are finally seeing what could have been. This video was released by the effects shop behind the creation, Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (who also recently released a video showing their creature work on The Thing). You can hear Raimi directing the test subject (who does not seem to be Dafoe) in the latter half of the video, trying to see the range of expressions allowed by the prosthetics.

Back when Neil deGrasse-Tyson was a high school student aspiring to follow a career studying the universe, he had the chance to meet Carl Sagan — Carl Sagan — who offered to meet him at Cornell University to show him around his lab.

The Flamboyant New Addition to Teen Titans

by Christopher Holden | 12:32 pm, September 19th, 2011

Reports came from Bleeding Cool yesterday that Brett Booth and Scott Lobdell will be introducing an outwardly gay character in their upcoming re-launch of Teen Titans, as a member of the team. Seen in solicitations under the moniker of the Wall, the character’s name has since been changed to Bunker. His powers are as yet unknown, but given his names and the cover of Teen Titans #3, it appears that they are defensive in nature, with the hero being able to create barriers and other constructs.

Makers of 1986′s Troll to Remake Movie and Call It The Troll: Rise of Harry Potter

by Jamie Frevele | 2:03 pm, August 24th, 2011

You might be surprised to find out that Harry Potter, Boy Wizard, was not the first Harry Potter to have his own Big Hollywood Movie. In fact, way back in 1986, four years before J.K. Rowling conjured up her famous character on a train ride, a low-budget B-movie called Troll was released and featured a young man as the protagonist whose name was Harry Potter. And now that everyone knows the name “Harry Potter,” the makers of Troll are getting ready to remake their movie with the title The Troll: Rise of Harry Potter. And they already have not-Daniel Radcliffe‘s replacement! And a lawyer!
