Universal Covers THE LAST CALL (But Not In The Drinking Sense...)
Merrick here...
Universal has nabbed the Oni press graphic novels THE LAST CALL for producer Barry Josephson (ENCHANTED).
"The Last Call," written and illustrated by Vasilis Lolos, centers on two teens on a joyride who get hit by a train -- an interdimensional soul carrier -- and find themselves on a quest to solve a mystery that will allow them to return to their regular lives. Series debuted last year.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.
In other words, this project involves...SOUL TRAIN!

I get the silver.

I feel light Lightning McQueen when he assumed he won the Piston Cup in cars. "I wouldn't worry about it . . . cuz I didn't do it!"
-
Medals for being stupid cunts, that's what you get. So sad. Anyway, I hear Carson Daly is onboard with this project and he'll be playing one of the teens. All fact.

By declaration by the king of swine, you are hereby vanquished to the royal position of Duke of Baconton. You have shamed all that is piggy. That is all.

... or did I see Rosie Perez in that video?

Sounds like something new for once? Whats the deal hollywood? What did you lose all your rights to Matel product inspired movies?
-
I'm not trying to be an ass, but I always recognize Merrick's writing. Not in a good way.

Everyone should dress like that. What the world needs is more fine pimpery.

T.S.O.P. by M.F.S.B.!!! Groovin in the soul kitchen!!! BTW - that would be The Sound of Philadelphia by Mothers Fathers Sisters Brothers for the Kool Kats.

they'd rather greenlight Watstax 2 - Back 2 da hood, rather than making something original. Once the Marvel fad is over maybe we'll have original content again.

christ, we have had so many rip threads the past few months...how about a grats thread for sulu on his marriage yesterday...oh, and huge grats to oni press for finally getting the recognition from hollywood they justly deserve...those guys put out quality comics

is it true hes gonna be jonah hex? if so...i just got a woody

I don't remember Rosie Perez having that nice an ass, but could be. <p> In other news, reports have poured in of a Mack paradigm shift as minute 2:44 in the video has proven incontravertably that, despite current popular belief, pimpin' is indeed easy.

Just flipped through the preview real quick at Oni Press' website, this Lolos cat has some nice pen art. <br><Br> That's the problem with converting indie comics to film, rarely is there a way to translate the unique art into real world images.
-
That really says it all, I think. Maybe the graphic novel is something special, but a movie? Uh... no.
-
I completely forgot what this post was about after watching that video. Those outfits were snazzy.

That fucker will spend the next 10 years in development hell

You heard it here first.

The brilliant novel that was optioned back in 2000? Too bad. Tim Powers' novels are a freakin' goldmine for some awesome movies, or even miniseries. I mean, the man was mentored by Philip K. Dick! How much longer must he live in relative obscurity? If you haven't read a Tim Powers book, please do yourself a favor and do...you won't be dissapointed!

This bad penchant for meandering fantasy movies based on graphic novels or short stories needs to die a fiery screaming death. This one looks like it will sit in the same development purgatory that's plagued much of Clive Barker and Peter Straub's fantasy literature...a place from which there is clearly no return.
