RED 2 is In the Works. REDDER, Maybe? ORANGE Would Be Next on the Spectrum… Hmm.

As announced by Summit Entertainment yesterday, Erich and Jon Hoeber, the writers behind the screenplay of RED, are at work scripting a second installment of the story.  No word yet on what the sequel will entail, plot-wise, but anyone who saw the first movie will be aware that it sets up for a sequel.

A sequel that has John Malkovich in drag.

The Punk Justice League of America

Warren EllisRemake/Remodel forum challenge happens weekly, and so as responsible people we try to only feature the ones that are totally super make-you-squeal awesome, because otherwise we would post from it every week.

This most recent challenge was to imagine what it would look like if the manager of the Sex Pistols got the rights to the Justice League in 1977 and made a movie of them. We bet you can already guess whether the entries fit our criteria.

(Below lies the occasional nipple, of both male and female varieties. Just so you know.)

Alan Moore Is Intimidating

“I was just thinking about the day Jim Lee and Scott Dunbier took me and Bryan Hitch and a few other people out to dinner in London in order to explain to us that DC were buying Wildstorm. What they were really worried about was how Alan Moore was going to take it. I spoke to Alan a couple of days later. “I’m affecting a cane, these days,” he said, “and when I got out of the taxi I took to meet them at the train station, they saw me emerging from a black car with what looked like a cudgel in my fist and went very pale.’

I still wish I’d thought of that, as occasionally I have to walk with a cane and chose not to take it to London with me because the leg was behaving itself.”

Warren Ellis, and he’s actually talking about the end of Wildstorm, from here he goes on to make some (more) interesting points, which you can read after the jump.

Vertigo to Publish Canceled Comic Hellblazer: Shoot

Vertigo announced today that they are beginning a new series called Vertigo Resurrected, which they will use to showcase some of their impressive archive of “horror, crime, war, western, fantasy, urban memoir, science fiction or reality based” stories; resurrecting, if you will, some of their greatest “rarely seen tales.”  First off the bat is a story that actually can’t be resurrected, because it was never published in the first place: Hellblazer: Shoot, written by Warren Ellis.
