Another film based on a graphic novel!!!!! Yes Hollywood really does seem to have run out of ideas. However this may not be so bad as the adap in question is of the surprisingly impressive Y: The Last Man. The series follows Yorick a would be escape artist and his pet monkey Ampersand who are the only two unaffected male entities on earth. All others have been wiped out by a strange virus, this includes babies, animals and even foetus'. A world ruled by women and you are the only man!!! sounds great. Not if they follow the plot lines from the books it isn't. So far the only news is that Shia LaBoeuf will play Yorick...

Oh, chemist, eh? Do we get to blow something up, then..?
There was a screening in the US of Watchmen - the whole film apparantley. And I found this trailer from Comic-Con. It's got some other stuff.
Not that it really matters, people who have seen it say there's no squid dude at the end and loads of speed ramping. Slo-mo is cool, but too much and it starts to feel like double spacing an essay to make it look longer.

Who will watch the Watchmen...
Ok, here it is. Probably the most anticipated comic-book to film adaptation in recent memory. Its based on the Eisner award winning, Alan Moore scripted, Dave Gibbons illustrated cult graphic novel Watchmen. Probably my all-time favourite comic book ever, alongside Alan Moore's V For Vendetta and Phil Hester and Mike Huddleston's The Coffin. If you haven't read Watchmen I strongly suggest you buy a copy now and read it before the films release, its utter genius (not a word I use lightly). Anyway, Zack Snyder (of 300 fame) is directing this one and they have just released the first trailer. I have to say that it looks fantastic but whether they will do justice to the source material remains to be seen. Watch it here in glorious HD.

Robert Downey Jr, Cowboys & Aliens...
Just saw this article over at the Hollywood Reporter. Looks like our friend Robert Downey Jr has got a taste for graphic novel adaptations. This one looks pretty cool. It's Cowboys & Aliens. 'Av a butchers.
