Apocalypse

Okay, answer this one. What has a giant asteroid on a collision course with Earth, a 300-foot tall woman, mind-bending drugs and all-out gun battle? If you said Apocalypse, CA, the upcoming film with a December 13 DVD release date, then you are absolutely right! (And probably a bit psychic…how could you know that?)

This is the end. Beautiful friend. This is the end. My only friend, the end. Of our elaborate plans, the end. Of everything that stands, the end. No safety or surprise, the end. I'll never look into your eyes ... again. No, it's not really the end for the house the bunny built, but damnit, we love that song! Anyway ...

In his expansive career Tony Todd has accomplished many a milestone. This latest bit of news comes as without question one of the finest feathers in his cap. That's right, kids! The man himself is getting set to conjure up some fear in a brand new way!

"Logic hasn't exactly been this week's selling point," declares one of the characters at the end of the trailer for Apocalypse, CA. Yeah, I can see where he's coming from. This looks to be an offbeat indie film that mixes asteroid Armageddon, another attack of a 50-foot woman, and a bunch of twenty-somethings with screwed up personal relationships.

Last House on the Left remake director Dennis Iliadis accomplished the impossible in my eyes. He took one of my favorite genre films, albeit one with some very rough edges, and fashioned a wholly satisfying (and grimy) remake that stands as a worthy companion piece to the original. Wondering what Iliadis is fixing his sights on next? Keep reading!

It's been several months since we've gotten an update from filmmaker Sonny Fernandez regarding his apocalyptic epic The Last Battleground, but the word came down today that the flick is now available on DVD from Amazon.

The whole time I watched Legion, pretty much the only thing I could think about was how great Trembles' MPP of the flick was going to be. The film is rife with some awesomely cheesy lines that are just begging for the Trembles treatment, and this week he delivers the goods.

On Tuesday, February 2nd, Viz Media's new series Biomega will debut. The sci-fi/horror epic is both written and illustrated by Tsutomu Nihei.

If you were one of the many people who saw Scott Stewart's Legion over the weekend (and there must have been a lot of you since the film came in second in the box office rankings with an estimated $18.2 million), then you'll no doubt be interested in the following message we received from The Foywonder:

Back in March Paramount execs indicated they wanted to "fast track" their comic-book-to-film adaptation of Damn Nation, and now some nine months later the project finally has a writing team: Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz.

Microbudget filmmaker Sonny Fernandez has been keeping us all posted about the progress on his apocalyptic epic The Last Battleground, a film that appears very low on budget but very high in ambition. Now he's sharing the final trailer for his magnum opus.

Just in case there aren't enough book-to-screen adaptations for us to keep track of already, news of another came today: Damn Nation, which was published by Dark Horse Comics in 2005. It was written by Andrew Cosby with artwork by Jason Shawn Alexander.
