HORROR, MONSTER, SUPERHERO, APOCALYPSE: MOVIES IN TIMES OF CRISIS

Films usually serve as one of two things: a means of escape or a means of confronting fears and processing trauma. Often the two are not mutually exclusive, and instead work in tandem as a two-step healing process.

QUANTUM OF COMICS

The release of No Time To Die will mark five years since James Bond was last seen on screen, but for fans of a different visual medium, the last five years have been a glorious time to follow Bond’s adventures. Dynamite Entertainment, formed in 2005 to publish comic books licensed from other media, launched an ongoing series as SPeCTRe hit theatres, and under the guidance of Warren Ellis and others, it has flourished ever since, opening up the world of Bond to the unlimited potential of the comic book world...

COLOURING OUTSIDE THE LINES

Despite having only recently turned 53, it’s been 27 years since RICHARD STANLEY completed a narrative film, DUST DEVIL. His career took a turn when he was fired as director from THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU by New Line studio – the string of catastrophes that led to his leaving the project are recounted in the 2015 documentary, LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY’S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU. It was perhaps the most calamitous making-of story in film history, but it did not slow the filmmaker down. After almost three decades spent making documentaries, music videos, and various art projects, RICHARD STANLEY triumphantly returns with a H.P. Lovecraft adaptation starring Nicolas Cage, COLOR OUT OF SPACE. As we sit down, Stanley apologizes for his slight lateness and tells us he has just flown into London. When we ask where he’s come from, he explains he’s arrived from his home in Montségur, a small commune in the mountainous southwest of France…

Web Chat

Right up there as one of the truly great superhero cartoon shows of all time, SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES first aired on FOX Kids in November 1994. It ran for a total of 65 episodes over five seasons and many still revere the series as the definitive Spidey show to this very day. One person who was there for the entirety of that run is the fantastic BOB RICHARDSON - who served as the main driving force behind the show in his position as supervising producer and director. To mark 25 years since the Spider-Man show debuted, we were lucky enough to grab some time with Bob to reflect back on this most beloved of animated offerings and discuss why SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES was so special, how the series was put together, getting to explore so many characters, and just why ol’ Web-head is such an iconic pop culture figure...
