Akira Director(s) Set, and More!

Howdy ya’ll. Seems I left the ole’ computer on, whilst I was doing my dishes… and wouldn’t you know it? While I was elbow deep in last night’s meatloaf pan, a smattering of windows were sitting on my desktop, collecting dust. Dust be damned! Being that I’m the generous sort, how about I share em’ all with you:

• The Anime Classic Akira got a fine pair of directors!

• Pirates be damned! Johnny Depp has signed on to play Tonto, in the new Lone Ranger flick.
• Lionsgate films announced a new contest, create your own superhero and win a cameo in Kick-Ass 2

• The next Spider-Man film thwips into theatres, in 3D!
• Who Plays With Tiny Watchmen? Wiz-kids hopes you want to.
• Want to follow the Winter Olympics like a nerd? Yup, there’s an app for that.

• Emo-Superheroes are sad, but cheer me up.

Thanks goes out to ICv2, Superherohype, iO9, and the comic-nerd-geek-bloggosphere for the assist!
