This Warner Bros Batman production has Koichi Yamadera as Batman and Wataru Takagi as The Joker. It’ll be in the cinema next year. That’s to say it’ll be in cinemas in Japan next year. The rest of us may just have to hope for the best. If you’re curious Warner Japan have an official microsite […]
Black Butler live action coming to UK; latest trailer
I watched a chunk of the Black Butler anime before giving up. I wasn’t the target demographic. The live action is very different. It’s set in the future. There’s a different sort of the anime-esq gender role tensions. Sebastian is still one hell of a butler. He’s looking after a young noble who has had […]
Dragonriders of Pern could head to the big screen
Fancy another Harry Potter style blockbuster series? The Chronicles of Narnia didn’t quite do it. Even The Hobbit series is getting mixed reviews.

D&D film already in license hell
On Wednesday we had news that Warner Bros had the rights and script for a D&D film and by Friday it had hit problems. Here’s a problem: Hasbro weren’t involved and maintain they own all the D&D licensing rights. Make sense, right? The counter argument, the one used by Warners, is that Courtney Solomon, who […]

Guardians of Middle-earth trailer
Imagine Middle Earth as a the setting for running battles. That’s not entirely out of character with Tolkien’s setting because there have been very many battles between the forces of good and evil. That said it’s a little strange to see Sauron running around on the battlefield (even, yes, if he did capture Dol Guldur […]
