While we’re on the subject of upcoming video games, here’s a trailer for the highly anticipated Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Well, highly anticipated by a lot of nerds… of which I am one of. So shove it.
Technically a sequel to the films, the game stars Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray reprising their roles as Spengler, Stantz, Zeddmore and Venkman. The game plot is pretty straightforward:
With Manhattain newly overrun by ghosts and other supernatural creatures, it’s up to you to take on the role of a new recruit joining the original, famous Ghostbusters team. Equipped with a variety of unique weapons and gadgets, you will hunt, fight and capture a wide range of uncanny phantasms and demons in an all-new, funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague.
Activision is releasing the game this October for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PC, Wii and Nintendo DS.
“Werewolf Women of the SS is back! This time it’s back as a comic book series! The wacky exploits of Commandant Hess, Lt. Boorman, Von Strasser Eva and Gretchen Krupp, Fu Manchu and even Hiltler will be coming you way. Everything you ever wanted to know about Project Pure Wolf but were afraid to ask!”
To me this makes the most sence for this project. I’m kind of excited to see who Zombie brings to the table to make this happen. My guess is that he’ll have artist David Hartman illustrate it.
This guy obviously doesn’t know what forces he’s toying with. Destroying the newest fetish of the Cult of Apple is asking for doom. Watch as he bravely throws the new iPhone G3 into a blender and pulverizes it, producing a thick black smoke which obviously is the very essence of the Cult of Apple’s god Steve Jobs.
Here’s a little sneak peek into the next Futurama movie, Bender’s Game, which is set to be released late this year. Filled with nerdtastic Dungeons & Dragons references and various scifi puns, Bender’s Game tells the tale of how the Planet Express crew gets trapped in a fantasy world while in search for fuel.
“Everything is set into motion based on the high price of fuel, which is dark matter,” head writer and executive producer David X. Cohen told Wired.com in June. “Our crew tries to get to the heart of the problem…. Of course, strange events unfold.”
As if this day can’t get any better, what with the big announcement about Metropolis and all, we now hear that our favorite comic book ever, The Goon by Eric Powell, has been optioned to be made into a move by none other that director David Fincher (Zodiac and Fight Club)! And it gets better. Academy-Award nominated Blur Studio will be developing the film!
If you are unfamiliar with The Goon, a masterpiece of zombies and slapstick Lovecraftian humor set in some old-timey world, I highly suggest you walk into your local comicbook store and demand it. You’ll thank us for it.
Move over Ash, I have a new chainsaw wielding, zombie killing hero - CHAINSAW MAID!
Chainsaw Maid is the bloody claymation short about a maid, a chainsaw and zombies. What more do you really need to know? The film was created by Japanese amateur animator takena, who has a whole line of, as he calls it, “brutal clay animation!” you should check out.
Somehow I think Ray Harryhausen is giggling in the shadows.
Rob Zombie’s faux trailer Werewolf Women of The S.S., featured in the movie Grindhouse, is coming to a comic store near you.
