Lrm had the opportunity this past weekend to sit in on a Walking Dead Zombie Panel at Charlotte Comicon. We got to listen Amber Dawn Fox, Joey Rodriguez, Matt Bolick, Jeremy Ambler, Mike Mundy, Addy Miller, Chris Harrelson, Veronica Wagner, Kent Wagner, and Melissa Cowan discuss their individual experiences on being on the show. They discussed with the crowd what it was like to be on set throughout the different seasons along with the amount of make-up it would take to put on. We also got to hear how all of them would be clueless on what would happen in the scene until shooting. Check out the photos below from the panel discussion.

Comics and graphic novels have a proud tradition of gleeful sci-fi insanity. It's been there from the absurd Batman adventures of the 1950s, through to the over-the-top British dystopias of the 1980s, and it's alive and well in Ballistic. This graphic novel is the latest release from indie publisher Black Mask Studios, drawn by superstar comics artist Darick Robertson (best known for his work on Transmetropolitan, Happy!, and The Boys) and written by relative newcomer Adam Egypt Mortimer. It hits stands tomorrow. The plot is ... difficult to describe, but follows the adventures of a guy named Butch and his best friend Gun (a foulmouthed living gun). According to the official description, the duo "attempt to elevate Butch from air conditioner repairman to master criminal in the twisted, post-eco-apocalyptic Repo City State, a reclaimed trash island built entirely from DNA-based, living technology with bad attitudes." Simple enough! We're proud to...

I can count on one hand the number of sequels Icelandic movies have gotten. In the 80s, a comedy series got two, and in the late 90s, an 80s comedy got one, and I think that's it. In the last few years Icelandic films have struggled to find an audience, so a sequel to a recent film would be unthinkable to most. But the low budget sleeper hit City State wove a story so dense that they needed a second one to continue with it.On the 17th of October City State 2: Brave Men's Blood will have its premier and the people behind it have let loose an action packed trailer to entice us.In order to take down a major criminal organization, the ambitious head of...

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill reunite in 22 Jump Street, bringing their bromantical form of humor to the mainstream. But while the dynamic duo dances and finishes each other’s sentences, we can’t take our eyes off of the shaggy blonde frat brother with a laser for an arm. It’s time to say hello to Wyatt Russell, son of famous couple Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, who makes his big break in the upcoming sequel (in theaters June 13).
The 27-year-old plays a charismatic college quarterback Zook, a student at Metropolitan City State University who quickly bonds with an undercover C. Tates. It’s a great role in what’s likely to be a massive movie, with the potential to open further doors. Despite having numerous family connections in show business — Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson are his half-siblings — Wyatt’s lived much of his life out...

Funnier, cleverer, wittier, and snarkier than the first film. It is nonstop self-deprecation that doles out well-deserved smacks to about 817 Hollywood things that desperately deserve it. I’m “biast” (pro): loved the first film…
I’m “biast” (con): …but wasn’t expecting to love the sequel
I have seen the source material (and I love it)
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
I am like Charlie Brown contemplating before me Lucy with the football, and wondering once again if I will let myself be suckered in… again.
And I did.
See, I loved the late 80-early 90s TV show 21 Jump Street. And I hate Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill with the power of a thousand dying brown dwarf stars (so, you know, not that much, but still). Also too: Hollywood please stop it with the reboots and the remakes and the updos and whatever and start telling some new stories.

Icelandic director Olaf De Fleur returns to the scene of the crime with City State 2, the sequel to the surprise Icelandic hit which is currently slated to be remade in the Us by James Mangold. The first was a compelling bit of crime fiction, a realistic take on police corruption and organized crime, with this latest effort picking up right where the first left off. And while there may be no subtitles included on this second teaser that doesn't seem to matter very much because, as our resident Icelander puts it, it's 'all dramatic and shit'. He is correct and it's hard to argue with that logic. Check it out below....

Last month I attended the annual CinemaCon expo in Las Vegas, and during the Sony presentation I got to watch an exclusive new trailer for Phil Lord and Chris Miller's 22 Jump Street. I did my best to recap all of the best moments in the footage in the write-up I put together after the screening, but when it comes to comedy sometimes you just have to see it for yourself. Fortunately, the studio has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming sequel that features many of the best moments I saw in Vegas. Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, 22 Jump Street picks up right after the events of the first movie and finds partners Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) stepping up their detective game and heading off to do an undercover mission at the local college (which is bizarrely called Metropolitan City State). The duo...

Are Channing & Jonah’s characters going to college this time around? Get the latest scoop on the ’21 Jump Street’ sequel!
The boys are back! Channing Tatum, 33, and Jonah Hill, 29, were spotted filming the sequel to their hit comedy 21 Jump Street – appropriately titled 22 Jump Street, making it the Ocean’s Eleven of stoner comedies — on the film’s Louisiana set this weekend. This photo, taken Oct. 12, shows a uniform-clad Channing driving a giant football helmet, with his co-star riding shotgun.
By the looks of Channing’s jersey, which reads Metro City State, it looks like the former undercover high school students are heading to college in the sequel.
The sequel, which comes out some time in 2014, also features the return of Ice Cube as Captain Dickinson.

Sheltered #1
Writer: Ed Brisson
Artist: Johnnie Christmas
Colorist: Shari Chankhamma
Publisher: Image Comics
Price: $3
This was a book that took me by surprise. Image has a lot of titles out there, most of them quality. I’m a fan. But I’m also perpetually cynical about their approach to remaining relevant by launching new titles with rapid-fire frequency. Yet they’ve kept an impressive ratio of hits to misses and, despite being much hyped, Sheltered knocks it out of the park.

Icelandic filmmaker Olaf de Fleur and Summit entertainment just sealed the deal to make the sci-fi action flick Revoc.
Warm Bodies’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are attached as producers. There are few details on the film, but Summit is describing it as “being in the vein of District 9 and Moon and is a post-alien invasion thriller.”
Olaf de Fleur made a name for himself (and what a name it is) in his home country with the crime drama City State. Back in October, it was rumored that director James Mangold would be helming the Us remake of the film. Watch the trailer for de Fleur’s City State. No reindeer sweaters!

The year’s almost over, but Summit was able to make another deal. The studio has acquired the rights to an original sci-fi pitch by Olaf de Fleur titled Revoc.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but THR describes the story as something “in the vein of District 9 and Moon and is a post-alien invasion thriller.”
De Fleur is best known for directing and co-writing 2011′s Icelandic thriller City State, about an immigrant who vows to avenge his unborn child after getting attacked by a crime syndicate.
David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville are attached to produce the film.
There are a lot of sci-fi films coming next year, including After Earth, with Will and Jaden Smith, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim, the adaptation of Ender’s Game and Tom Cruise’s Oblivion. Revoc probably won’t make it in time for a 2013 release (depending on...

A new science-fiction story is on the horizon and this one hails all the way from the Nordic nation of Iceland. Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, who has become well known in his home country for his action thriller Borgríki (known here in the U.S. as City State) has sold a pitch to Summit Entertainment for a new sci-fi action movie called Revoc. The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news about the acquisition, but just about all details about the plot are being kept under wraps at this time. The only thing that's known about the story is that it is in the same vein as Neill Blomkamp's District 9 and Duncan Jones' Moon and is "a post-alien invasion." Given those comparisons it sounds as though the movie is going to be a lower-budget affair and be a bit more character based than standard blockbusters. David Hoberman and...

It was over eight months ago, a simpler time, when James Mangold (next year’s The Wolverine, 3:10 to Yuma) was announced to helm City State, an English-language take on Olaf de Fleur Johannesson‘s hit Icelandic crime thriller. Work on the aforementioned comic book movie, while seemingly protracted, has been occupying time on the old schedule in the time since — i.e., this other film’s been a quiet prospect in all this time since — but, with that gearing up to shoot next month, City State now has some breathing room.
Variety reports that John Zinman and Patrick Massett (TV’s Friday Night Lights, Tomb Raider) will help give the film its American treatment, having been hired to scribe a story of colliding lives in the criminal underworld; the original, one of those hyper-link sort of deals, centered on “four people whose lives intersect when a foreign crime syndicate...

Outside of the highly anticipated Rust & Bone from helmer Jacques Audiard, Celluloid Dreams is much more immersed in the market aspect of Cannes this year. Headed by Hengameh Panahi, Celluloid Dreams brings to some noteworthy Cannes this year, but outside of that doesn’t have anything to front. The Rambler, The Side Effect are noteworthy projects worth keeping tabs on, while Dormant Beauty starring the just Isabelle Huppert who is on some Cannes auteur bucket list drive and Dan Algrant’s debut Greetings from Tim Buckley (see pic above) should be top tier items drawing plenty of buyer interest.

Icelandic director Olaf De Fleur caused quite a stir back in October when word dropped that 3:10 To Yuma director James Mangold had signed on to direct a Us remake of his action drama City State. It was a surprising move for a film that had just premiered in its native Iceland with the only English language material available online being a minute long teaser. It's not until now - a solid two months into the film's very successful Icelandic release - that the full trailer has arrived online in English friendly form.Set in modern day Iceland, an immigrant vows revenge after losing his unborn child in an attack by a crime syndicate, thereby binding his fate with a troubled policewoman, her corrupt police commander,...

Word came back in June that the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, entitled The Wolverine, had finally found its director in James Mangold, director of such films as 3:10 To Yuma, Walk The Line, and Girl, Interrupted.
Mangold has now lined up his follow-up to The Wolverine, Deadline report, attaching himself to a remake of this year’s Iceland crime thriller, City State.
The original is directed and co-written by Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, and,
“is set in the Icelandic underworld and deals with four people whose lives intersect when a foreign mafia decides to take control of the Icelandic drug market.

James Mangold, the super talented master of all trades director behind Cop Land, Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma and Knight & Day had been expected to be shooting Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine right now, but with the actor lured into the bumped up Les Miserables adaptation delaying the X-Men prequel by at least six months, the helmer is now looking to for a new project to fill his time.
Deadline reports that Mangold has struck a deal to direct the Indie film City State, a remake of Iceland director Olaf de Fleur Johannesson‘s converging narratives drug trade thriller that hasn’t even opened in his own country yet. Presumably Mangold has actually seen the film for himself but who knows.

While his most anticipated film is still waiting in the starting blocks to get shooting (that would be The Wolverine), James Mangold is already looking ahead to future projects, lining up a remake of crime thriller City State. The original version itself still hasn’t hit cinemas in its native Iceland, but that’s how quickly remake fever is spreading these days. Written and directed by Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, City State is set in the country’s underworld and finds a foreign crime gang trying to take control of the local drug market. Among the characters involved are a dodgy police captain who falls for a prostitute, an aging crime boss with a dicky ticker looking to retire alive, a female police officer who goes on a vengeful spree when she’s attacked by thugs and a mechanic looking to avenge the death of his unborn child.It seems...

James Mangold may be setting up "The Wolverine," but he's still got time to read scripts and contemplate his next project. He's steering clear of comic books, but not of remakes, as his next film will be a redo of Iceland's "City State.""City State" is an Icelandic thriller written and directed by Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, and I don't believe it's even been released there yet. There's only a teaser online, and a release date of 2011. But hey, let's remake it in America! It sounds like a fairly epic how-can-this-be-contained-in-2-hours story.
