Seasons’ greetings! It’s Christmas Day, and even though I’m not really here because this is an automated post and I’m most likely pissed as a fart by now, I’d like to wish you all the very best for Christmas. Have a drink for me. I’ll certainly be having one for you.
This is the second part [...]

Mark Millar interview! Part 1: Kick-Ass movie special!
Luckily this interview with Mark Millar was not conducted during last weekend’s marathon bevvy session when the Scottish-based members of his MillarWorld website hit a boozer in Airdrie, because the pish we ended up talking was quite something to behold. Guinness will do that to you. No, this wee blether with Coatbridge’s finest exponent of [...]

Angelina Jolie, James McAvoy, Mark Millar, the sequel to Wanted and a cracking pair of tits
The Sun’s Page 3 (not work safe) is a particularly British institution that may be lost on foreign readers to the blog, but I like to take a wee peek at it every day for reasons that will become clear if you click that link.
Anyways, turns out none other than Mark Millar was on Page [...]

Box office sensation! Everyone Wanted to see Angelina Jolie over the weekend!
Great news for fans of comic book movies after the adaptation of indie hit Wanted starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy set the box office alight over the weekend with an estimated $51,118,000. Even better news for the title’s writer (and the movie’s producer) Mark Millar, who is celebrating by going to the seaside. In [...]

Well, I was meant to be at the UK premiere of Wanted tonight…
But I had to work late at the office. Fuck.
I’ve been looking forward to it for weeks too. Tuesday is the deadline for the weekly paper I work on, and being chief reporter I can’t leave until it’s done. We tore through a power of work this morning and then we actually had two power [...]

Mark Millar Wanted interview!
If you’re any kind of film and/or comic geek then you’ll know the big news this week is that Wanted hits cinema screens on Friday.
It’s adapted from the six-part, record-breaking series of the same name by writer Mark Millar and artist JG Jones, and in a summer that’s already seen the release of Iron Man [...]

New viral site for Mark Millar’s Wanted film!
I’ve blogged before about how Mark Millar is a dab hand at using viral techniques to punt his work, and now the film based on his comic Wanted has launched a viral site.
It’s called Fraternity of Weavers and I believe it’s just gone live in the past week. The opening screen is pretty innoccuous but [...]

Bozhe Moi! Feast your eyes on two cracking new Wanted trailers…in Russian!
Thanks to all those Chris Claremont X-Men comics that I read in my youth, the only words in Russian that I know are “Bozhe Moi!”
I’ve no idea what Colossus, the X-Men’s resident Russkie, was actually saying, but I spluttered it out myself after seeing two spankingly good Russian trailers for Wanted. Some of the images [...]

Two hot burds (and a Scotsman) on comic book movie posters!
This week saw the release of two new posters for upcoming comic book adaptations, Wanted and The Spirit.
I can understand why Angelina Jolie is the main draw on the poster for Wanted, she’s the big name and will put more bums on seats.
However, it’s got me wondering how big her role as The Fox is. [...]
