I loved the Jetsons! Apparently Kanye West does too according to MTV. But alas I don’t have Kanye’s cred so I won’t be involved in a live action Jetsons movie…but West might.
NME reports that the rapper is meeting with film executives to work on the project. Producer Denise Di Novi confirmed that the rapper did reach out to them and added,
“We heard that we knew we were working on The Jetsons. He reached out and said he’s a huge Jetsons fan. There are a lot of Jetsons fanatics out there, especially people that are into either futuristic science or design, ” the producer went to add , “He was interested in creatively brainstorming what we were doing with the movie and what ideas he might have. It was a really friendly, preliminary conversation.”

If you enjoy Ed Brubaker’s super hero work on Captain America, Daredevil, X-Men, Catwoman but never tried his crime noir (Criminal: The Sinners, Lawless, and more collections) take a shot with Fatale #1 new in stores this week. Brubaker teams with Sean Phillips for this new series that takes the duo into strange new territory.
A funeral, a mysterious vamp that would make might make Hitchcock and Hammett blush, cult symbols, a Nazi flashback and some very gruesome killings are elements in this potent mix of crime noir and supernatural horror.
This is an old Hollywood flavored mystery with stakes that aren’t just a matter of life and death but it could mean salvation. There’s a dark magic in this book and I’m hooked.

I think would buy a comic with art by Jim Lee even if he’s drawing a whiteout snowstorm. Jim Lee’s return to a monthly comic is one of the biggest reasons I’m buying the new Justice League title.
Jim Lee’s art drew me in…Geoff Johns dynamic storytelling will keep on board when Lee moves to covers only. This happened before when Lee was recruited to Batman with Jeph Loeb for the year-long Hush storyline. I became hooked on Loeb’s writing and followed him to the Superman/Batman title and my comic book budget was blown. History is repeating itself.
Justice League #7 will mean a new arc and a new interior artist. Gene Ha takes over while Lee continues providing covers. Johns and Ha talked exclusively with Comic Book Resources about building the new team and the new enemies.

“I’ll say this: the big point of the story was introducing the new character dynamics between the main members of the Justice League, so I got to have a lot of fun with how they react to each other and things like that. But the other part of this story is setting up the new villain universe. There’s a lot of really subtle stuff going on there. I’ll just say that I’m not doing the next issue of the book, but oh man — I really wish I was. Something fantastic is being set up for that,” Ha said.
My first time seeing Gene Ha’s work was on The Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix. This was a story in which Scott and Jean were transported into Cable’s future to raise the young mutant who would lead the future rebellion against Apocalypse.
If you’d never experienced Jim Lee’s work on Hush here’s a link.

The latest James Bond film is under production. Daniel Craig returns in Skyfall in November.The search is on for the artist to perform theme song. When I first heard this I immediately thought “this is such a James Bond song.”
“Love is Found” is by the one and only Sade is from the Ultimate Collection. When I was lucky enough to finally see Sade in concert last year I was convinced this would made an excellent Bond theme song. Producers will opt for a brand new composition but I humbly submit this song as an inspiration.
Producers of Star Trek 2 have added a new actor in a lead role but will be hero or villain?
Deadline is reporting that producers have hired Benedict Cumberbatch. The British actor is currently on the big screen in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and War Horse. He will playing the dragon Smaug (via motion capture) and the voice of the Necromancer in The Hobbit. He was Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock on BBC.
Benicio Del Toro turned down the villain role. Edgar Ramirez and Jordi Molla was under consideration. Del Toro’s casting immediately generated rumors he would be playing Khan Noonien Singh. I was hoping for a return of the Klingons in the sequel.
I agree with Collider that this casting is a curveball – especially if it is for the main villain role. When I see Cumberbatch – I think Romulan or Andorian.
