The latest executive produced film by Meltdown Comics Lifers Guillermo del Toro (El Mero, Mero.), and Don Murphy (ANGRY FILM) gets the heavy Sci-Fi lineage poster treatment. Following in that heritage is the second SPLICE poster found around the webbers. We all at Meltdown can not wait to see this film. The idea is fresh and the creature, with the clean design is poised to become a Monster Fan Favorite. Plus the Writer/Director Vincenzo Natali is a good guy to boot.
Best wishes to all the parties involved!
SPLICE hits theaters June 4, 2010.
Meet DERN, SPLICE “It Girl”
Image of the precocious little creature from SPLICE found at AICN. Maybe we should make a Statue or Toy of it… A figure would display great next to the Mechano Baby Head from Toy Story, Talking Tina, Pumpkin Head, the Cenobites or Mars Attack Spy Girl!
NEXT IMAGES ARE NSFW. Continue reading »
Dan Clowes’ Wilson In Stock! *First 100 copies get a free Wilson poster
Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption. Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family – a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire.
Buy your copy of WILSON plus “The Christian Astronauts Newspaper Strip” or any of the great titles in D. CLOWES back catalog at Meltdown Comics then catch DAN C. LIVE! signing at “Chapters” or “Book Soup” or “Sky Light” or “B&N” or some other book store this Summer in support of WILSON.
