SD Comic-Con ’10: A Note About This Week’s Massive Coverage
As most of you regulars already know, the San Diego Comic-Con is one of the biggest movie events of the year. In fact, it’s so abrasive and overloaded that the front page of Bloody-Disgusting becomes a vomit of news, interviews, images and more. There’s typically so much content that everything gets pushed off the front page exponentially fast, and a ton gets lost from the various sections. We’d like to draw your attention to the Comic-Con 2010 News Box to the right of the screen where you’ll find ALL Comic-Con coverage in one easy location. Another quick fix would be to bookmark this page and reload it throughout the week (Wednesday-Sunday). For those of you who aren’t into the madness, we apologize in advance. Things are about to get insane *sly grin*.
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
