^{"Gross. Cut it out, you guys!!"}

Sadly, we’ll have to wait for the bad taste of Jonah Hex to dissolve from our collective cheek lining before we’ll be able to see Solomon Kane. But  that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the work of Kane writer-director Michael Bassett. Thanks to DVD sales and a strong show overseas, Silent Hill is now getting a go at a sequel (which will be in 3D naturally), and Bassett has been hired to direct.

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will follow a story that stands alone from the original. It traces the plot of the third video game with 17-year old Heather Mason journeying to the nightmare town of Silent Hill to find her missing father, only to discover the gruesome truth about her self. Now,  before you get all uppity about it, you should know that it’s being shot in 3D. Not post-converted. So, you’ll have to come up with some other excuse not to see it when my weirdo friend George asks me to go. (BloodyDisgusting)

Fellow Junkies,

Comic-Con has come and gone, as has Screen Junkies from San Diego.  It was our first ever trip down to Comic-Con and it will not be our last, but we learned a lot.  Mostly, we learned that you have to surrender to the fact that you can’t cover EVERYTHING at Comic-Con.  Here’s everything we DID cover:

AVATAR
Video clips of James Cameron speaking about AVATAR just moments after having unveiled 25-minutes of the film to Hall H @ Comic-Con. 

G4′s ATTACK OF THE SHOW
Video clips and a rundown of Olivia Munn, Kevin Pereira, Blair Butler and the producers’ AOTS presentation.  Includes a clip of Comic-Con’s first ever "Nerd Rave!"

LOST: THE FINAL SEASON
Co-creators Damon Lindelof & Carlton Cuse are joined by a bevy of the hit show’s stars for a presentation of Season 6.  Includes video clips (of course), but does not include major spoilers (of course).

DISTRICT 9 SNEAK/SPOILER-FREE REVIEW
Ace Screen Junkie Spencer Vickers sees a sneak peek of the Neill Blomkamp-directed, Peter Jackson-produced sci-fi violence-fest and promptly writes an open letter to the studio execs that killed HALO to remind them of their own stupidity for having ever committed such stupidity.  As if they didn’t know.

JENNIFER’S BODY
A rundown of the film’s first 15 minutes, and Q&A with Megan Fox, writer Diablo Cody, director Karyn Kusama and producer Jason Reitman.  As Megan Fox says about J’s B, "You better be wearing your sexy shoes!"

SOLOMON KANE
A recap of the Hall H panel about the Michael J. Bassett-directed, James Purefoy-starring film adaptation of CONAN-creator Robert E. Howard‘s badass demon slayer.  Well received at Comic-Con, and a potential sleeper hit when the film opens later this year.  Give it up for sword & sorcery flicks!

EXTRACT
Video clips and commentary about Mike Judge‘s latest, including a video of Jason Bateman passing out on Mila Kunis (not a bad place to land).

THE CLEVELAND SHOW
Interviews with cast members and video of "The Family Guy" spinoff’s panel in Hall H, with creator Seth MacFarlane.

And that’s all she wrote.  We’ll see you next year, Comic-Con, and we’ll be loaded for bear when we do. 

So send us out, Oscar-nominated writer/director Frank Darabont!

Director: Michael J. Bassett

Cast: James Purefoy, Pete Postlethwaite, Mackenzie Crook, Max von Sydow

Synopsis: The movie tells the origins of Solomon Kane and is hoped to be the first of a trilogy of movies. When the story opens Kane is a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth fighting in Africa, but after an encounter with a demon, The Reaper, he realizes he must seek redemption or have his soul damned to Hell. He returns to England and lives a life of peace, converting to puritanism, but soon the doings of an evil sorcerer upset his plans and he must take up arms again.
