Dirtfish unleashes FROM HELL pics... bloody ones
Harry here with some pics that Dirtfish sent in of a certain RIPPER flick that I can not wait to see. Aren't the pics just lovely... Like the one with the prostitute cut up and bleeding in the London night? Ahhhh, reminds me of that one New York Alley on Saturday night... So much fun.... Thanks goes out to Dirtfish for nabbing these! AHEM! Apparently Dirtfish NABBED them from CHUD without saying so. So folks, drop Nick and crew a note of thanks for getting these images out there!!!

It looks pretty good.
-
The pics aren't much but I'd expect a lot from this movie. I'm surprised this is such an untapped subject in recent Hollywood. Next I want a good Sherlock Holmes movie.
-
I'm going to see this movie just because of her! Actually, I don't think she's that great of an actress... the real reason I'll see this is because it falls into the 'Horror' category, and I can't miss anything genre related. It's also interesting subject matter tackled by two very talented filmmakers who will prove to Hollywood that they can do more than just make urban life movies.
-
A gory murder mystery with dark misery in place of gritty realism? Bring back 'Saucy Jack' the musical.
-
It was so great seeing 'Hannibal' this weekend, especially since I took all of my wussy friends who had been screaming and jumping at every contrived "scare" during 'Valentine' last week. They were actually scared of Hannibal Lector! I personally welcome the shift from teeny bopping slasher to serious unsettling horror films. Why do you think The Exorcist made so much money? 'From Hell' will probably be the same type of movie that is dark and disturbing in it's tone rather than the usual teen fodder. Johnny Depp is great in pretty much everything he does and the Hughes Bros. are extremely talented, so I expect to be blown away this fall!

Dude, what's up with all the violent Harry-mations on the top le
by mr_intimidation
Kinda violent shit going down there. Is Harry trying to tell us something -- or are the people making these animations trying to tell HIM something? Hmmm....
-
Wooo!!! Shake dat ass girl
-
I read on digitalferox.com that Johnny Depp trained hard for this movie and can now bench 135 lbs, which is still pretty weak.
-
When they start promoting "From Hell" - when the director and the leads start hitting the talkshow circuit - how much attention will be paid to the movie's comic book origins? Will they downplay it to keep the movie from being pre-judged as juvenile? Or might this flick, especially if it's any good, actually draw some positive attention to the diversification of comic books? Pipe dream, probably. I guess I just wanna see Alan Moore on "Good Morning America", terrifying everyone with his sunken eyes and beast-man beard. Actually, once you get past his innate scariness, you probably couldn't ask for a more erudite interviewee. But I doubt he'll be part of the promo campaign. Not even sure whether he's given the movie his blessing or not. The script review I read a few months back suggested a good movie, but one *very* removed from the depth of the original work. In particular, I expect the metaphysical stuff will get pretty short shrift, and I'm fearful it'll come across as hokey as a result. It *needs* Moore's meticulous scholarship to work. I'm just praying that the tour of London's pagan architecture makes it in...

These pics are from the latest Wizard magazine. Nice to see the kiddie mag with such gruesome pictures as the last one.

Is Johnny Depp going to do his Sleepy Hollow Sherlock Holmes character? I like the idea of doing a Saucy Jack film better!

These pictures were posted on CHUD two weeks ago. If I send Harry the Jurassic Park 3 info CHUDS been posting, will I be credited for the "scoop"? As for the movie, it looks good but it's still far too early to post judgement dontcha think?

He really does look like those animations, all sloppy and hairy.

The above person's comment about whether Elfman would do the score got me curious, so I went and looked. Not Elfman, but instead Trevor Jones. Nearly as good, as far as I'm concerned. I hope it sounds like his score to Hideaway. (horrible movie, but the 20 min of score on the CD is incredible...) Definately a composer who deserves more high-profile assignments.
-
Some 'scoop'. Three week old pics
from Wizard magazine passed off as
a scoop on AICN. But they do look good, and Alan Moore is a
great writer. I'd certainly bet
my last dollar HE could write
movies for Hollywood that have
intelligence and the capacity to
hold an audience's interest. Unlike most movies today that can
do neither. Can't wait for this
flick. Snoogans. -
I don't care if I haven't seen these pix before. These people tell me that they've been posted elsewhere before, so Harry must suck. I don't care if this site is reliable as a news source. My petty nature cannot overlook these tiny oversights.
-
They also appeared in the latest Wizard magazine (with either Superman & Krypton or the Fantastic Four on the cover) a few weeks ago.

...she will have a good shot at the role of Marjorie Cameron, a woman possessed by the Whore of Babalon, in my upcoming film MR. CROWLEY'S AMERICAN DREAM...if I can't get Fairuza Balk, whom I'm convinced IS possessed by Miss Cameron. I should contact the Hughes Brothers Mom, who interviewed me for a job once but didn't hire me because she needed someone who spoke Spanish but was a nice lady and very helpful anyway. Maybe she could make the twins let me use some of their sets for the English parts and leftover filmstock. Then, they could get the script (script?) to Heather, because let's face it, a helluva more of you guys would pay to see a Heather Graham movie than a Fairuza Balk movie even though Fairuza is actually better for THIS part. Anybody know Anthony Hopkins (if I can't get him for Crowley, I'm not doing it) and Brad Pitt (for Jack Parsons) and Ewen McGregor (for L. Ron Hubbard)?
-
Alan Moore doesn't do T.V. appearances. But wouldn't you love to see him facing off with Katie Couric?

harry be more original. no one wants to see this. well........yes we do.......but only cuz yr gettin decapitated.

Yeah, The Current Cartoon's Not So Bad Because It's From THE ADJ
by buzz maverik
...bugged me. I'm a wuss, I know, but I like Harry. I didn't really enjoy seeing Harry, well known as a good guy, get decapitated. I know, why don't you do these cartoons featuring studio heads, agents, bad actors and makers of bad films instead? Then we'd all be happy.

by smugbug
so, new big news here. Actually the article these pics accompany, is pretty good. Contains good info on the filming of this movie. I am looking forward to this flick.

With... umm... OOH.. EH... Denis Leary as the Comedian... em.. hmm... Ed Norton as Veidt... uh... Winona Ryder as Silk Specter... Nic Cage as Captain Metropolis... hold on, hold on... dammit... OOH! Will Macy as Nite Owl... no, too many "Mystery Men" comparisons... dammit... James Caan? No... Alan Cumming? Yes! Wait! Alan Cumming as Capt. Metropolis, Nic Cage as Nite Owl... NO... Nic Cage as Veidt, Norton as Nite Owl, Bruce Campbell as Rorschach, and Michael Clarke Duncan as the Voice of a CGI Dr. Manhattan, THERE! The perfect cast. Sned all checks to the aboce email address. Than you, and g'night everybody! This has been A Moment on the Casting Couch w/User ID Indeed! "You can be in 'Sliver II: The Slivering'!"
-
"Sned", I understand, is not a word.

I loved From Hell the comic, and I've got the big phone-book-sized graphic novel, and I cherished it. But it's a damn big bite to take. I love Alan Moore's style but he's so damn literate and wordy and mysterious and foreign (i.e. British) sometimes that I can't make it too far in one sitting -- it's exhausting. And I have an ongoing love-hate relationship with the enigmatic scritchy-scratchy Eddie Campbell art. For a much more satisfying, bite-sized look at the Whitechapel case, check out Rick Geary's treatment in his Treasury of Victorian Murder series. It'll slay you! P.S. Johnny Depp is close to infallible, and Heather Graham is both intoxicatingly foxy AND a good actress. When she opens her mouth in a movie she sounds genuine to me, like she's actually speaking, not reciting. And then, there's the titties.
-
....alright already! the pics are in wizard! STOP FILLING THE TALKBACK WITH THE SAME DAMN THING! If you'd read the actual things before diving headfirst in to bitch and whine, you wouldn't all seem like such dummies... I lost count how many of you posted that the pics are in Wizard, please read the other posts before you say anything! Right, I'm off to post this exact same post thirty seven times.
-
I'm lying about the 37 times. BTW THE PICS WERE IN WIZARD... or something...I dunno...CHUD... Harry's an asshole...whatever... will someone please post something different???????? Personally, I think this site is fun. Who gives a shit who's first with the scoop, don't take it all so seriously!!!!!!
-
But what I really want to see is the W-brothers wrap up the Matrix sequels ASAP and get their asses moving on V for Vendetta!!
-
Well, shit. I just wanted to see one of those perky interviewers start off, "So, I hear comics aren't just for kids anymore!" Alan Moore begins to growl. "So, with the movie out, does this mean back issues will be *worth* something?" Moore's beard bristles with barely-contained fury. "Now did you have anything to do with that 'Death of Superman' story that made headlines a few years back?" Moore bites Katie Couric's head off. C'mon, wouldn't that be worth letting Moore's scraggly, dope-smokin', quasi-mystical ass stateside for a few days? I think it would.

by buzz maverik
So, Sleazy, Buzz Jr. will easily be able to convince Sleazy Jr. to drop the case. Everybody knows I invented Aleister Crowley and the Crowley Bunch (who go around solving mysteries and playing music). Also, Cormorant, I think that instead of biting Katie Couric, Moore would just invoke a fourth dimensional being that he's talked about in interviews. You gotta watch Al and his invocations though. With all the substance abuse, he tends to for get the banishment part of the rituals and fourth dimensional beings, like fish and houseguests, start to stink after...okay, all three stink to high Heaven to begin with.

The Cast of My WATCHMEN movie (which Quixote is writing alone;se
by buzz maverik
Thanks to Talkbacker Comedian for Dennis Farina as the Comedian; Kevin Klein as the Nite Owl; Val Kilmer as Dr. Manhattan; Tom Selleck as Ozymandius (think about it, aging pretty boy hero. The mainstreamers'll never see it coming); Rene Russo as The Silk Spectre; and HURM John Malkovitch as Rorshach. Probably a lot of people have thought of some of these. Somebody give me and Quixote the money (so we can hire Sleazy back) and buy the rights for us.

Basically, meat. His pristine body will be preserved in a biochamber that funnels nutrients into his bloodstream while electronically stimulating his muscles for maximum development. Upon his eighteenth birthday, my brain will be surgically transplanted into this body, thereby cheating death and allowing my superior intellect live on. I will then reap the benefit of the wisdom of age and years worth of 'Watchmen: the movie' residuals, while being possessed with a youthful body. With this combination, I shall be unstoppable, and shall harvest enough power to make the world grovel at my feet. Unless I should only happen to have a daughter, in which case I'll probably just hang around, play with my tits and get dressed and undressed with the curtains open.
-
Farina is the Comedian. I especially like Kline as Nite Owl, and Kilmer would be a decent enough Manhattan, since I've never seen the man express a single emotion in his entire career. Redford would make a better Ozymandias though, 'cept the coverup on all those spots he has on his face would drive our make-up budget through the roof.
-
There was a humble tint of sarcasm in the bulk of my casting suggestions. I suppose I should've gone with my other, less-subtle sarcastic list that includes Tom Green as The Comedian, Rob Schneider as Nite Owl, Haley Joel Osment as Silk Specter, Wilson the Volleyball as Capt. Metropolis, the guy from "Jackass" as Roschach, and Val Kilmer as Dr. Manhattan. I also suggest that the part of the killer midget be played by Alan Moore himself, shortened through magical computer gnomes at WETA, forcing the audience to stare helplessly as Moore's endlessly creepy eyes burn through their souls and make their popcorn fry and Pepsi BOIL!! Mwa ha ha! The Brain would be proud of me. This has been Return of the Couch w/User ID Indeed! By and by, everyone knows deep in their hearts that The Perfect Watchmen would be Harrison Ford as Nite Owl, Madeleine Stowe as Silk Specter, Brad Pitt as Roschach (which would be more or less reprising his role in "12 Monkeys", which tells you how damned good he'd be), Rob Patrick hopped up on novocaine as Capt. Metropolis, a buff Alessandro Nivola as Comedian (or, quite possibly, Denis Leary... he'd be pretty good as I think about it), and of course whoever the hey ho you guys want as Manhattan. We all know in the end one of those blue guys off the Pentium commercials will win the role! They're so mysterious...

Goddamn that sucked. As to From Hell, I'm still concerned about the movie being a whodunit instead of a whydunit. Even so, if it gets some non comic readers to check out the soure material(as well as the rest of Alan Moore's work,) than this can't help but be a good thing.
-
That's my final answer for the Watchmen. I recommend Dan Hedaya as Nixon and Mr. Winkle as Mr. Freeze. Moment!
-
Who cares about the animations. Harry could post his ass and I don't care. I'm not here to see that. ( No offence Harry, I'm sure you have a nice ass;^) ) The point is these are images for, From Hell. A movie based on Alan Moore's comic! A movie that looks kick'n! A movie you should be thankful that Harry posted. But, no, you can't just be satisfied! Ungrateful, I say. Well, I'm not one of you people. I just wanna say, Harry... Thank you! I am now even more stoked! Now if only some one could help me get rid of these leperchans that keep asking me to kill my dog..
-
The debates continues with every AICN update. I personally couldn't care less about the source material; that's not to disparage the work because it seems to be held in very high regard. What I do know is that the screenplay is one of the BEST of its kind I've ever come across. It succeeds beautifully on numerous levels. I have a feeling that only the graphic novel's hard-core devotees will be complaining once this one hits theaters in the fall.
-
That's why I'm the perfect director for a WATCHMEN feature. I'll piss off the mainstream audience who come in expecting to see something like THE X-MEN and I'll piss off the geek audience who come in expecting to see a page by page adaption. I boil the story down to the essentials: a G. Gordon Liddy type superhero called The Comedian is murdered in his apartment by an unseen, but ass-kicking assailant. Being a superhero is against the law, but that doesn't bother right-wing weirdo Rorshach who is out to find the killer. Rorshach and Dr. Manhattan are put out of action. Nite Owl and Silk Spectre put Rorshach and Dr. M back in action. The killer is found and his plot exposed. Along the way, with flashbacks, montages, animation, mock interviews like Comedian,The said, mock newscasts, etc. we get the rich texture of the comic. I spend the rest of my life hanging out with Peter Bogdonavitch, Elaine May and Michael Cimino bitching about the Phillistines who make and watch movies.

...should play the grown up Amanda Wurlitzer in THE BEAR CHILL. It's about a group of 30somethings who reunite when Engelberg, the catcher from their childhood Little League team, dies during experimental lyposuction. It takes the whole team to be pallbearers. They spend the weekend at the late Coach Buttermaker's trailer house reliving old times, re-bonding, feuding, and sharing secrets. It turns out they're all in love with Amanda, who is dating Bears' arch enemy, Joey Turner, former pitcher for the North Valley League champs the Yankees.
-
Two hours is a bit too short for From Hell, Not only is it a Phone Book sized tome, Alan Moore's work is, as usual, extremely visually dense. At best this is going to be an okay film with only a passing nod towards the book. At worst it will, Dune-like, be something utterly, utterly different (and not nearly as good) As far as I'm concerned, nothing of Alan Moore's is suitable for adaption, And if those fanboy wankers the Wachowskis are allowed ANYWHERE near V for Vendetta, I will personally kill them. It's eminently unsuited to their cinema-jizz, wish-fulfilment tripe.
