Can Cap rescue Sega from the not quite stellar superhero game doldrums? Well, I think it can, but I guess it’s up to you guys and gals with the wallets to decide. Here’s a look at a cool CG movie from the upcoming game. Remember kids, “When he’s led to a fight and a duel is due, then the red and the white and the blue will come through…”
While I haven't been to a Broadway show in decades, you can't go twenty minutes or so here in NYC without hearing or reading some more awful news about the show's numerous problems. Forget my own opinions about bringing such a risky project to life at such a huge expense during tough economic times and the hugely inflated but highly creative egos behind the show's development. I'm more concerned about stopping this overblown train wreck before there's a death on stage or off. Given the history accidents in some preview performances and the fact that this is a live show of such length and scope with never-before seen wire effects taking place every night means it's only a matter of when and how a fatal incident occurs.
However, I think there's a way to “save” the show and possibly recoup some of the production costs while turning an actual profit… eventually.
Hey! The folks at 2D-X have scored an EXCLUSIVE interview with Dan Gilvezan who voiced Spider-Man in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends back in the 80’s. He talks about his work in Activision’s upcoming Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, a bit of Transformers, and the craft of voice acting. Head on over and check it out as it’s quite a fun read (don’t forget to get back here at some point!).
I was taking a few days off for some personal stuff, but given all the “Hulk Smash!” *rage* I’ve seen and heard about this, I’m back today for this one post. I’ll resume regular updates on Wednesday.
First of all, folks: Disney more likely than not isn’t going to interfere in any MAJOR print successes Marvel is currently having. Why mess with censoring any part of the publishing arm that’s financially successful (and lose massive sales in the process)? If things get to that point, the sales figures will show and Disney will have to let Marvel continue to create the books their way. Unless of course, this is some sort of cosmic justice at work toward Marvel’s mistreatment of Jack Kirby and other artists in the “distant” past many of today’s comics fans have little to no idea about. Update: although given some of the artwork I’ve been seeing online since the announcement, a lot of folks are probably giving Disney some ideas the artists who drew up these pieces might regret…
