Invincible: First Trailer Arrives for Superhero Animated Series

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Robert Kirkman’s other monster creator-owned comic series, Invincible, is coming to streaming, and the show might be closer to arriving than we thought. They just dropped a trailer at New York Comic Con’s pandemic stand in, Metaverse. It looks surprisingly faithful to the book, and if Kirkman’s promise at the panel holds, we should be in for some intense superhero action. The trailer has about what you’d expect in it. Mark Grayson, played by The Walking Dead‘s Steven Yuen, is a fairly typical 17 year old, except for the fact that his father (JK Simmons) is the most powerful superhero…

New DVD release, , , , ,
Series 13 may be a long way off yet (the BBC is still hopeful for a late 2021 air date, and hoping for filming to take place before the end of 2020, Covid-19 chaos notwithstanding), but it’s not long until Doctor Who will be back on our screens. As teased at the very end of the series 12 finale, “The Timeless Children,” the next episode will be one-off special “Revolution of the Daleks”, which is due to air over the upcoming festive period.  Released as part of this year’s online New York Comic-Con panel, see below for a couple of first-look images…

PlayStation 5 Will Outsell PS4 In First Fiscal Year, Says Sony

New DVD release, , ,
In an interview with Naver (via Gamesindustry.biz), Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan seemingly made a bold prediction when he stated that Sony believes the PS5 will “sell more in its first fiscal year than [we] sold in the first fiscal year at the time of [the] PS4 launch.” It’s worth reiterating that Ryan’s quote does come via a translation. While the translation appears to be reliable, this would hardly be the first time that even a reliable translation misses some subtlety that changes the meaning of a statement. It’s also been mentioned that it’s possible that Ryan was talking…

Milestone Comics Available Digitally for First Time

New DVD release, , , ,
DC’s Milestone revival kicked off at FanDome earlier this month, with the promise of new and old material returning the beloved characters to comics. And at the second stage of FanDome, they followed through, with the release of Milestone Returns #0, free to read only during the digital convention. Now, they’re fulfilling another stage of that promise: Hardware and Icon are being published digitally for the first time ever.  This week saw the release of Hardware: The Man in the Machine, the first volume of Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan and J.J. Birch’s origin/revenge tale about genius inventor Curt Metcalf, on…

The Teleprompter Interview: Katy Wix ‘My First Screen Crush was King Kong’

New DVD release, , , ,
“Anchors, rigging, shackles,” lists Katy Wix down the phone, “poop deck, wheelhouse, three sheets to the wind…” The comedian and writer has had a productive year. Filming wrapped on Ghosts series two just as UK lockdown began. Since then, she’s finished one book – Delicacy: A Memoir – due out next April, is pitching another, writing a TV show, and thanks to a new-found obsession with Netflix yacht-based reality show Below Deck, has also managed to acquire an enviable grasp of nautical terminology.  Wix is an established UK comic actor, with credits across the board, starting with cult hit Time Trumpet and going mainstream as witless,…

Sony Says Adding New First-Party Games to PlayStation Now Isn’t “Sustainable”

New DVD release, , , , ,
In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan noted that the PlayStation team does not currently intend to offer new game releases as a day one addition to their subscription services. “For us, having a catalogue of games is not something that defines a platform,” says Ryan. “Our pitch, as you’ve heard, is ‘new games, great games.’ We have had this conversation before — we are not going to go down the road of putting new releases titles into a subscription model. These games cost many millions of dollars, well over $100 million, to develop. We just…

Dennis ‘Des’ Nilsen is Far From David Tennant’s First Psychopath Role

New DVD release, , , , ,
David Tennant’s transformation into serial killer Dennis Nilsen for ITV’s Des was unsettlingly convincing. It wasn’t just the physical resemblance, though under that hairstyle and behind those 1980s glasses frames, the similarity was remarkable. It was also the posture, the unwavering eye contact, and the voice; mumbling and unconcerned, listing the terrible details of Nilsen’s crimes as if reciting a recipe instead of multiple brutal murders.  As Nilsen, Tennant pulled off what every actor hopes to in a real-life role – a disappearing trick. He slid clean inside the role, leaving no trace of The Doctor, or Simon from There She Goes, or the demon…

Taskmaster Series 10: First Trailer Pokes Fun at Channel 4 Dropping Show Years Ago

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Like that guy who didn’t sign The Beatles and those publishers who turned down the first Harry Potter book, Channel 4 must have spent some portion of the last five years kicking itself. A little kick every time Taskmaster – the comedy show it developed but then let go – was nominated for a Bafta, another little kick every time the show set a ratings record for its home on digital channel Dave, and yet another kick every time the show received a giddy press write-up. Kick no more, Channel 4. Taskmaster is once again yours. After airing nine series…

New DVD release, , ,
One of the most eagerly-anticipated movies of 2020 — despite even the raging coronavirus pandemic — has been Dune, director Denis Villeneuve’s epic adaptation of the classic 1965 science fiction novel by Frank Herbert. We’ve seen images from Villeneuve’s film (the first of hopefully two that will encompass the entire book), but now the first official trailer has arrived and it seems almost certain that the director of Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival has created another cinematic sci-fi masterpiece. Watch it here! Herbert’s original book has influenced generations of sci-fi writers and untold numbers of films and TV shows —…

The Teleprompter Interview: Andy Nyman ‘The First Poster I Ever Had On My Wall Was Joanna Lumley’

New DVD release, , , , , ,
 “It’s a classic ghost story with one of the best filmed jumps ever,” sums up Andy Nyman of Herbert Wise’s 1989 TV movie of The Woman in Black, “It properly delivers, and it properly delivers in a fantastically old fashioned way. It’s a proper ghost story at Christmas.” He’s not wrong. Now restored and released on Blu-ray with a load of new extras, the movie is still incredibly effective. Nyman has recorded a new commentary for the film along with fellow horror experts Kim Newman and Mark Gatiss. Nyman has a personal connection to the film too – it was…

Raised By Wolves Debuts First Full Trailer

New DVD release, , , ,
The first teaser for HBO Max’s Ridley Scott-directed sci-fi series Raised By Wolves was nothing if not enigmatic. The nearly two-minute first look revealed the stunning visuals of Scott and creator Aaron Guzikowski’s concept. There were cities on fire, androids blowing stuff up, and a parable of the Three Little Pigs. It was awesome. But was it awesome because it was so enigmatic? The teaser didn’t have to shoulder the burden of revealing the plot to viewers or giving a sense of how all these cool concepts and visuals would meld into a coherent series. Now a second trailer has…

While DC Fandome hasn’t officially kicked off yet, the hype machine is in full effect. One of the key panels on the schedule for the first day of the DC Universe-spanning event will focus on Black Adam, the long in-development movie starring Dwayne Johnson as the notorious Shazam villain. Black Adam is the story of a man from ancient times who is granted the power of six mythological heroes and gods: the stamina of Shu, the swiftness of Heru, the strength of Amon, the wisdom of Zehuti, the power of Aton, and the courage of Mehen. What’s that spell? That’s…

The Crown Season 4: November Release Date and First Teaser

New DVD release, , , , ,
‘Something as important as the monarchy simply cannot be allowed to fail’ says Queen Elizabeth II in the first teaser for The Crown season four. Very good, ma’am. That must have been Netflix’s argument to series creator Peter Morgan when he shrunk plans for a total of six seasons down to five, before being persuaded to return to the original number. Something as important and investment-heavy as The Crown also simply cannot be allowed to fail. HRH’s words gain additional weight in the teaser from being delivered in voiceover as she rides out on horseback in full ceremonial garb, complete…

How The First X-Men Movie Changed The Superhero Genre

New DVD release, , , ,
Back in the late 1990s, things didn’t look so hot for superhero movies. Warner Bros. Pictures crashed its Batman franchise into the ground with 1997’s disastrous Batman and Robin and showed no signs of resurrecting either that or any of its other DC comics heroes. Meanwhile, with the one bright exception of 1998’s Blade, not a single Marvel Comics character had made it to the big screen in a meaningful way. All that changed, however, in 2000, when 20th Century Fox released X-Men. Based on one of Marvel’s most enduring properties, the Bryan Singer-directed film introduced the concept of mutants…
