It may not feel like it sometimes, but believe me: This is a great time to be a moviegoer. Harvey Weinstein is at the height of his powers, Titanic is finally coming out in murky 3-D, head-exploding propaganda is No. 1 at the box-office, and we've got a superhero flick to look forward to virtually every week from May to August. What more could you want from the film industry? What's that? Strippers vs. werewolves, you say? Sure — that can be arranged.
To wit, today's extraordinary news from THR: Well Go, the indie distributor that brought you such trenchant fare as Mutant Girls Squad and The Greatest American Snuff Film, has struck a deal for North American rights to an actual movie called Strippers vs. Werewolves. It is what it sounds like and will no doubt present a fine counterpoint this summer to Steven Soderbergh's male-stripper opus Magic Mike. Earth needs a balance, folks.
Fine — strippers and werewolves and $300 budgets aren't your thing. You're more of a dinosaurs vs. aliens kind of person. Great! Guess what?
Move over cowboys, its dinosaurs that are going to battle aliens now. Following its launch announcement last May, Liquid Comics will release graphic novel Dinosaurs Vs. Aliens this summer based on an original story by Men In Black director Barry Sonnenfeld who worked closely on the project with comic book creator Grant Morrison (Batman, 18 Days, The Invisibles).
Morrison is writing both the graphic novel and the film screenplay for Sonnenfeld to direct while artwork for Dinosaurs Vs. Aliens is being done by Liquid Comics
