Check out what's happening, this week in geek!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Produce and Star in a Fraggle Rock movie - Wow. As a big Jim Henson fan, I'm amazed this is happening. The company has announced a revival of the classic childrens' show, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Given the nature of the show as a puppet program, how Gordon-Levitt will star is tenuous. My best guess is that he will play the owner of the dog Sprocket, who was a different actor and character in each localization- a perfect chance for the adaptation to take liberty.
A Ninja Turtle has Died in Combat.- If this were any other comic, this would be non-news. Marvel and DC have proven that comic book deaths in their titles mean nothing in the long run. But Ninja Turtles has a history in the comics of treating death seriously- Splinter remained dead for roughly 13 years. For the sake of not spoiling I will not identify who has died, I simply note he will be missed.
'Pixels' Teaser Trailer- Regardless of personal opinion on Adam Sandler's comedy, I'd be remiss not to point out this teaser for 'Pixels'. The film's premise is deliciously nerdy- aliens recover a 'time capsule' sent into space containing examples of Earth entertainment, specifically, arcade games. The aliens misinterpret- and create real live video game characters to conquer Earth. This is an amazing concept that looks to be a very fun film.
The Monster Book of Monsters - A surprise announcement from Sideshow Collectibles this week- a prop-replica of the Monster Book of Monsters from Harry Potter! A very unique choice and one I'm certain will sell well with fans.
This blog is a haven. A little corner of the internet for us. A place where I intend to report on, and celebrate, geek culture. Video games, anime, comic books, action figures- even tokusatsu. Don't be ashamed. Stand proud for your fandoms. For all those little things you love. And let your geek flag fly!
