Public Enemies - What Did You Think?
Planet Disney has posted some new character photos from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, which appear to be scanned from a magazine. I have cleaned up the images a bunch, and included the cleaner versions after the jump. The photos include Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and Mia Wasikowska as Alice with The White Rabbit. No characters that we haven’t see previously, but each photo gives us a better look at the make-up and wardrobe of Burton’s Wonderland. Thanks to /Film reader Jason for the tip.

Michael Dougherty (X2, Superman Returns) announced at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors that WildStorm Comics would be releasing a graphic novel adaptation of Trick ‘R Treat on October 7th. Dougherty tells /Film:
I grew up on old horror comics, and they were a huge inspiration for Trick ‘r Treat, so it’s been great working with DC and WildStorm to keep the anthology genre alive while also giving people a sneak peek at some of the twisted fun they’ll see in the movie.
Written by Marc Andreyko (Manhunter, Torso), featuring art by Mike Huddleston (Man-Bat, Gen 13), Grant Bond, Christopher Gugliotti (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Fiona Staples (North 40), and a cover designed by Breehn Burns. We have an EXCLUSIVE first look at the cover (above) and first five pages (avaialble after the jump), art by Fiona Staples.
First Look: Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans
Posted on Friday, June 5th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Update #2: Warner Bros has provided us with high resolution copies of the photos that appeared in Entertainment Weekly and Empire Magazine.
Warner Bros has released the first two production photo from Louis Leterrier’s remake of Clash of the Titans. The two stills feature Sam Worthington as Perseus, “the mortal son of Zeus who was born a god but raised as a man.” Worthington was the best part of Terminator Salvation, and I have high hopes for him in Avatar. Check out both of the photos after the jump. As always, click to enlarge.
Die Hard: Year One — John McClane Prequel Developed as a Comic Book Series
Posted on Thursday, May 28th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
What if I told you that a prequel to Die Hard was being developed? Before you freak, let me explain: 20th Century Fox is not developing a Die Hard prequel… Die Hard: Year One will be released in comic book form by BOOM! Studios. More information and first issue comic book covers after the jump.
I really need to invest in a good scanner because I saw these pictures in Total Film before the weekend and have spent until now scouring the internet for them. What’s up, page pirates? Not got a subscription?
The first image, as seen above, is a piece of concept art for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. As it is doubtful that the dimensionalisation was done by anybody working on the film and instead probably knocked out by a promotions or design company purists might want to just filter this down to clean 2D by looking at it through anaglyphic specs with one eye closed.
After the break is the second image, a still from Pixar’s Up. Again, the 3D effect in evidence is of dubious provenance but, hey, if you’ve got a pair of those crummy old red-blue glasses to hand, you deserve a bit of fun.

Gremlins director Joe Dante tells Bloody Disgusting that while a third Gremlins movie or remake might happen someday, he won’t be involved.
Our First Look at The World of Avatar and It Looks… Quite Like Aliens
Posted on Saturday, April 25th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
Somebody else to also pick up a copy of the latest Empire magazine has scanned perhaps the most interesting image from the entire publication and, via the magic of photoshop, given us an absolutely incredible look into not the set, but the actual world of James Cameron’s Avatar.
As well as showing you the image, I’ll also have to explain to you just how come we’re getting to see it.
Those of you who stepped out and snapped up the 20th Anniversary issue of Empire will already have seen the latest - and indeed, greatest - images from Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. For those of you no lucky enough to live ‘over here’, the good news is that some industrious souls have scanned those pages and posted them online.
After the break, a look at a couple of these images - but, really, do seriously consider shelling out for the actual magazine. For one thing, there’s so much in there, and only a certain amount of it is going to ever roll up online.

A new photo has surfaced showing Eli Roth and Brad Pitt in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. Roth plays Sgt.

New Trading Cards Reveal The Aliens of Star Trek
Posted on Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Paramount Pictures has released a batch of trading cards for Star Trek, which reveal some cool unseen sequences and characters. Most notable is Diora Baird as the Orion slave girl. You’ve seen her before kissing Kirk in the trailers, but this is the first time we get a real good look at the character. Other images include Old Spock (Leonard Nimoy) coming face to face with Young Spock (Zachary Quinto), and Scotty’s weird alien sidekick friend. Check those two photos out after the jump.
First Look: DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your Dragon
Posted on Wednesday, March 25th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Animatoons has the first official promotional image for DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your Dragon. The image also gives us our first real plot synopsis:
“Meet Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, heir of the Viking chiefdom, but a boy with one very big problem: a hero he is not. “How to Train Your Dragon’ is the riotous story of Hiccup’s quest to hunt down the fiercest dragon, bring it into submission, and—hopefully—pass his initiation. Instead, he ends up with the smallest, most ornery dragon—it’s even toothless! Thus begins the hijinx of the world’s most lovable, unlikely hero and a most reluctant “beast.” Packed with energetic drawings and plenty of action, this boisterous tale is just right for fantasy fans or anyone with a spirit of adventure. Based on the book by Cressida Cowell.”
Directed by Chris Sanders, and featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, the film is scheduled to hit theaters on March 26th 2010.
