For your patrons that enjoy crime stories might be getting a show for them. ICv2 is reporting that Vertigo’s, 100 Bullets, by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso is being produced by Warner Bros.

One of the movies I have been eagerly awaiting comes out this weekend. Of course that is DC Comics’ Green Lantern. I’m sure all of your patrons will know this, but it can give you some talking points if you only have a passing knowledge of comic books. Watch the feature below thanks to YahooMovies.
ICv2’s site is reporting that Warner Bros. has optioned Craig Brewer to write and direct a trilogy of movies based on Edgar Rice Burrough’s Tarzan. Hollywood has tried this property in the past and each adaption just hasn’t hit with fans. If this comes to fruition hopefully it will do better.

ICv2 is reporting that Warner Bros. is stating that Batman: Dark Knight Rises has begun principal photography. The article also mentions that this film will be filmed using cameras for IMAX theaters, will the filming be for the whole movie though? If it is then it will be the first movie to be filmed completely with IMAX equipment, but it doesn’t sound like this will happen yet. Planned release date is currently for July 20, 2012.
ICv2 is reporting that Ron Edwards is currently attached as the writer for a possible adaptation of Kazu Kibuishi’s Amulet movie.

Backlash over Superman renouncing his citizenship has already started. With some people planning on boycotting anything DC Comics right know.

Akira is facing the same question that arose with the cast of The Last Airbender. Akira is being looked at for a live action movie from Hollywood. At this time Warner Bros. is wanting the location of the story changed from Tokyo to New York. By doing this they are also recasting the movie with Anglo actors, instead of casting actors with an Asian background. The question is why does Hollywood feel the need to change the ethnicity in a story to make a movie? Even with the location changed to New York, we are the United States where all ethnic backgrounds are to be blurred. Check out the full story at ICv2’s site linked below.
