Well, this sure changes things, now doesn’t it? Kudos to the Kartoon12 of DeviantArt. This is some fine clipping. We actually thought for a second we’d woken up in an alternate dimension where Ratchet gave birth to three amazing young girls, who ended up saving Earthsville from the nefarious plots of many Decepticon combiners. Without further adieu…
While it’s not one of our favorite characters, we here at ComicMix know there are plenty of Scooby-Doo fans so as a public service, we offer up the following press release:
BURBANK, CA – March 12, 2010 – Warner Premiere is in production on Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster, an all-new, live-action/CG movie follow-up to 2009’s record-setting Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins, it was announced today by Eva Davis, EVP and General Manager, Warner Premiere. The film commences principal photography on March 15 in various locations around Southern California. The family-targeted feature will premiere on Cartoon Network in fall 2010 and release on DVD through Warner Home Video in early 2011.
Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster continues the Mystery Inc. gang’s adventures from the 2009 hit Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins, which premiered as the most-watched telecast in Cartoon Network history, and set targeted demographic records across the board. This new film will once again feature the familiar cast of characters in their high school years as they continue to develop and sharpen their combined sleuthing skills.
“After more than 40 years, the Scooby-Doo franchise continues to grow stronger as generations of audiences embrace these timeless characters, and that adoration has been clearly reflected in box office, DVD sales and television ratings,” said Davis.. “These new live-action films, with their contemporary approach, bring excitement and thrills to an altogether new era of Scooby-Doo fans.”
Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster finds the Mystery Inc. gang heading toward summer jobs at a country club owned by Daphne’s uncle, only to stumble onto strange happenings around the local lake – including mystical moonstones, creepy characters and a Frog Monster on the loose. There’s mystery afoot and romance in the air that only the fearful foursome-plus-one – Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo – can solve in this Warner Premiere production. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will distribute the film on Blu-ray, DVD, OnDemand and For Download.
Director Brian Levant, producer Brian Gilbert and writers the Altiere Brothers return from their successful turns at the creative helm of Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins. The Atlas Entertainment production also has the live action cast returning intact with Robbie Amell (True Jackson, VP) as Fred, Kate Melton as Daphne, Hayley Kiyoko as Velma and Nick Palatas as Shaggy. Scooby-Doo will appear via computer-generated animation courtesy of Animation Picture Company.
In conjunction with the start of film production, the Scooby-Doo Mystery Movie Sweepstakes launches March 12, 2010 with a Grand Prize package that includes a trip for four to the set of Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster during filming. Fans can go to www.ScoobyDooSweeps.com to enter.
An animated creation from the legendary Hanna-Barbera studios, Scooby-Doo celebrated his 40th anniversary in 2009 and represents one of the longest running, most beloved franchises in cartoon history. Starting with Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! in 1969, the awkward, snack-craving Great Dane and his four unique pals have been solving mysteries through 10 televisions series (spanning nearly 300 episodes, with a new series slated for debut in 2011), seven TV specials/telefilms, 14 made-for-video animated films (with No. 15, Scooby-Doo: Camp Scare, arriving in September 2010), and two live action theatrical features (Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed).
With both Emerald City ComicCon and Megacon going on this weekend, the 2010 convention season is now starting up in earnest.
So we’d like to provide you with this little reminder of convention etiquette from Foamy The Squirrel. Take it away…
According to Appslice and BustedData, it’s estimated that the new iTunes eBookstore (or whatever they end up calling it) will be divided into more than 150
sub-categories. This classification scheme is far more differentiated
than that of the current App Store, which has only 19 sub-categories for games.
And yes, there will be a section just for Comics and Graphic Novels, with at least one subsection for manga. They haven’t suggested if there will be further subdivisions for age appropriateness or other forms of content restriction.
They also haven’t indicated if they’re going to pull purchased books out of your iPad the way Amazon did a while back to copies of 1984, but the iPhone
Developer Program License Agreement does give them the right to do so. And no, you won’t hear about it from anyone else because developers are forbidden from making public comments on the terms of the
agreement.
So for people looking to distribute through these folks, think of it as like dealing with Diamond, except Apple has bigger lawyers. (Oh, and Apple knows what they’re doing with computers.)
Greg Pak, who in comics is best known for Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, has written and directed a short film called “Mister Green” for Futurestates, a new forward-looking online series from San Francisco’s Independent Television Service (ITVS), producers of the Independent Lens series on PBS. Eleven short films take a look at alarming trends and extrapolate out to look at how things may end up in the not-too-distant future.
Here’s “Mister Green”, starring Tim Kang (The Mentalist) and Betty Gilpin– and if you look closely, you can see Greg in there as well:
Was this in front of Alice In Wonderland? If so, I can understand how the film did over $100 million in its opening weekend.
Here’s the official trailer for Tron Legacy:
Interestingly, there seems to be a generation gap for this film, with a lot of fans under the age of 25 unimpressed by the first film– so one wonders how a sequel to a 28 year old film will do. What’s your take on it?
Patron saint and sinner of Munden’s Bar Del Close would have been 76 today.
If you want to read about who Del was and why he was important to comics and comedians, Mike Gold has a great recollection here while reviewing a biography of the man.
If you want to see why he’s the patron saint of Munden’s Bar, read this Munden’s Bar story.
If you want to see people talking about Del, watch Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Stephanie Weir, Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, and Kim ‘Howard’ Johnson…
And if you want to watch his influence, watch The Colbert Report tonight.
Here’s to you, you crazy maniac.
Imagine being asked to portray a character who has been a comics legend for twice as many years as you’ve been around. A pretty big challenge was handed to Justin Hartley who took up the quiver as Green Arrow on SMALLVILLE a few seasons back. Now with a few years in green, Justin shares his feelings on being Oliver Queen and where he is headed in the series. Plus Sarah Jane gets two more seasons while COMMUNITY, 30 ROCK and THE OFFICE all get one more.

If you’re like me, you thought the Oscar ceremony was the pre-game show for the new Iron Man 2 trailer, which premiered during the Jimmy Kimmel show. You can get it off of the Apple trailer site, or you can view it here:
So what do we get this time around?
More Black Widow. More Nick Fury. Justin Hammer. And a version of the Iron Man armor that fits in a suitcase. Hot-cha-cha-cha.
Iron Man 2 opens May 7th.
I know we’ve shared some “funny” versions of your favorite cartoon shows in the past, but folks, today is not about jokes. It’s about roundhouse kicks to the face. It’s about flying fists of justice. It’s about sumo-wrestlers and kids who shout “Too Much!”. It’s about a guy named “Super Ninja” voiced by someone who sounds a bit like Cobra Commander. This morning, ComicMix is proud forced scared to honored to present a cartoon so good, it only needed to be on for 5 episodes.
Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos, the cartoon so good that it caused the Challenge of the Go-Bots to become the Transformers, and He-Man to become Sheera.
