Face front for “True Believers”

True Believers

Tonight at 7 PM at the The Lee Strassberg Theatre, 115 E 15th St. in New York City, there will be a staged reading of True Believers, a new play by Thom Dunn, directed by Matthew A.J. Gregory.

True Believers tells the epic tale of star crossed lovers, aspiring comic book artists, women in refrigerators, psychotic fanboys, and girls who dress like Princess Leia as their lives intertwine over a weekend at a comic book convention.

Admission is free, which is more than you can say about most comic conventions nowadays. If you’re in town, give it a shot.

Monday Mix-Up: The Simpsons Family, guy!

What? I mean… what??? Has somebody gotten the scheduling screwed up on Sunday night on Fox?

I don’t know the next time April Fool’s Day falls on a Sunday, but if both The Simpsons and Family Guy are still on the air (I’ll bet they will be) I think this would be a great switch.

Sunday Cinema: Wonder Woman fan video making the rounds

http://comicmix.com//wp-content/uploads/2013/03/wonder-woman-nina-bergman-1a3.jpg

Jesse V. Johnson, the director behind Anchor Bay‘s The Package and the recently announced Kill ‘Em All, John (both vehicles for former wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin) used $3500 and a bunch of favors to make a fan film to demonstrate his chops beyond direct-to-video action fare. He cast Danish singer Nina Bergman as Wonder Woman and got Peter Stormare and Sons Of Anarchy‘s Timothy V. Murphy to play oily Nazis. The resulting video, produced by Hugh Daly and Faz Brahimi and aided by Johnson’s Station 3 manager and producing partner Kailey Marsh, can be seen here…
