Hollywood Finally Gets It with Comic Books

Posted on April 2, 2007



BY KEVIN CARR

28dayslateraftermathBack in 2003, I praised the film “28 Days Later” for taking the tired, traditional zombie movie into new territory. Sure, director Danny Boyle has gone on record saying that “28 Days Later” is not a zombie film. And in fact, I agree with him, but in principal, I do not. They may not be the walking dead, but they sure act like zombies.

For me, this was a huge improvement that zombie maven George A. Romero rejects. I found fast-moving zombies fascinating. There’s no doubt that “28 Days Later” left an indelible impact on the horror genre. Now, these more frisky zombies are more prevalent than the lumbering monsters of yesteryear. Simple put, they make great cinema.

The upcoming release of “28 Weeks Later” is something I am looking forward to with great anticipation. To help quench fans’ thirst for more rage stories, Fox Atomic has released the graphic novel “28 Days Later: The Aftermath,” written by Steve Niles with art by Dennis Calero, Diego Olmos and Nat Jones.

Josh Hutcherson Interview

Posted on April 1, 2007



joshhutchersonAn Interview with Josh Hutcherson, star of “Firehouse Dog”

BY KEVIN CARR

Excepts from the interview follow. To hear the entire interview, click here.

7M: TELL US ABOUT FIREHOUSE DOG?
Firehouse Dog is about this dog who is a movie star. He can do all these cool, awesome stunts for these movies. One day, he gets lost doing a stunt, and he comes into my life and starts to cause all these problems, and through the movie we start to build a relationship together.

7M: DID THE DOG STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT?
He did steal the spotlight. Everybody wanted to love and pet the dog. He was great. There were actually four dogs that play the character of Rexxx. And each one of the dog had its own different attributes. One could jump really high, the other could run fast. One could look at marks, and one could speak.

7M: DID YOU DO THE TRICKS?
We had about a two week period before we started shooting where I had time to get used to being around the dogs and the trainers. There were a couple times during the movie that were too wide of a shot and the trainers couldn’t be too close to tell a dog what to do. So I had to tell it to sit or help it stay on a certain mark.
