@TeamRedPro's AFRO SAMURAI CHAMPLOO is EVERYTHING Y'ALL!!!!
Afro Samurai Trailer...
in case ya'll were wondering, i had a blast at the SanDiego Comicon, and will be scramblin' to post on all the cool junk i saw, heard about, and/or picked up. that said, i spent an excessive amount'a time standing in line waiting for stuff. Case in Point: i stood in line probably an hour (and they kept marching us around, which really got on my nerves!) waiting to see the trailer for Afro Samurai... AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE!!!in addition to the show's creator, producers, teevee execs (no, afro samurai voice actor, star of the live action adaptation, and executive producer Sam L Jackson was not there... he was in another part of the convention promoting Snakes On A Plane... nah for real!), i got to meet the cat who's composing the score and putting together the soundtrack: The Rza (wu-tang, bobby digital, ring any bells? no? what are you doing here?)!
anyways peep the trailer. then pick up your tounge and wait feverishly with the rest of us... it debuts this winter on SpikeTV, with DVD release scheduled for spring 2007...
incidentally... RZA hinted that he had some interesting plans in mind for the soundtrack... including an appearance by Big Daddy Kane (if you are too young to know who that is, just nod in agreement, and ask your big brother later...)!!!

Samuel L Jackson to Co-write new comic "Cold Space"
Ever since he played Mr. Glass in movies-that-should-be-comics classic Unbreakable, Sam L Jackson has made himself a fanboy go-to guy, effectively spinning the unauthorized likeness rip of Ultimates HNIC Nick Fury into a four color resume for his role as the grizzled man-of-war in the Iron Man franchise, and likely in upcoming Marvel movies like Thor, Avengers and so on. Now he's taking the next logical step...
, Unknown Soldier
) and Jeffrey Spokes (Irredeemable). Of course, Jackson will also 'star' in the book, lending his familiar likeness to the book's resident space-faring tough guy...here's the sales pitch:
From legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson and Emmy nominated writer/producer Eric Calderon, the team that brought you the Emmy-award-winning, best-selling Afro Samurai, comes their next original series — Cold Space!

going from movies to comics will seem illogical and backwards to some, but it's not. Even though comics doesn't generate the money that film does, it doesn't cost what film does either. and there's one thing that comics knows how to cultivate: Fans that will spend money on movies. This is a good look for BOOM! as well, who have managed to get connected to several projects (NOLA, Incredibles, The Muppet Show) with movie/TV properties, talent, or both. What do YOU think?
oh yeah, so here's a brief interview, where Jackson seems to know nothing about his role in Thor! NICE! Sam Jack is so cool that he's clean even when he's clueless!
Afro Samurai..?
i swear, i did not make this up!!! there really is a japanese comic called Afro Samurai! like many comics creators over here(including yours truly), japanese creator Takashi Okazaki had to self-publish.
Apparently, he did a good enough job to gain attention stateside... because his manga will be made into an American cartoon, with a feature film (starring Sam L. Jackson) in the works...
for more info on this, visit his website, or go here...

Sam L Jackson (Afro Samurai, Star Wars prequels, Shaft, Pulp Fiction) and Hayden Christensen (Star Wars prequels, Life As A House) will be starring in a new film called Jumpers next year (based on the 1992 Steven Gould sci-fi novel) about a breed of mutant teleporters ("Jumpers"... get it?) and the sect of hunters who track and kill them ("Paladins"). since the movie website is trash, i'll recommend you to this blog instead for more info on the film.holla!

i been geekin' on this since february (don't believe me? check my previous blogs, cousin!), and i went aaaaall the way to killer cali to peep the news on it at the sanDiego
comicon, where i shook hands with the muthaf!^#$n' Rza... anyways, now the mostly-lame spikeTV is airing the show, (10 o'clock thursdays where i rest... check your local listings kids...). it was my job to make sure you know about such things, and i dropped the ball like terrell owens. my bad. but i come baring gifts, fam'ly! click the pics for a clip apiece on youTube. then start watching it on thursdays before you go to the club... if you see me out, we can talk about it, a'ight?

Wanna Watch The Black Panther Cartoon?
Everybody can stop being mad at the Australians... now we poor Americans can watch the new Black Panther cartoon too, thanks to the miracle of YouTube. The animation is more than a typical motion comic, but don't expect Afro Samurai
. I thought it was pretty dope for what it was. I'll be tuning in... to y'know... YouTube... for anybody who hasn't read Reggie Hudlin's Who Is the Black Panther
trade already, this pretty closely follows the plot of the book. They made some minor changes to the story, adding a couple scenes, for example. I was actually surprised a couple times. I think I'll go back and read it again while we're waiting on the next episode...
so anyways, what did you guys think?

NEW Designs from Sam L Jackson's comic COLD SPACE
). As you can see in this design by series artist Jeremy Rock, Sam L not only co-writes the comic, but also lends his famous face to the series' star and resident profiteering badass Mullberry! "Cold Space is simple because it’s just normal people trying to survive. It’s just the time and place that’s radically different,” Calderon explained in a recent interview. PREVIEW: Sam Jackson's Cold Space
homie Eric Calderon, and they're putting it down pretty good in this space western type joint. Jackson's character doesn't appear much in this preview, but you'll get the point...D. Original
here's the unreleased Afro Samurai pilot, leaked by that dude LeSean Thomas from the safety of his new digs in Seoul, Korea. The original Pilot was produced by MADHOUSE animation studios, and directed by Takeshi Koike (Animatrix: World Record, Dead leaves, Trava Fist Planet) in 2003. eventually, Samuel Jackson got hold of the film and TV rights to it, and as a result Spike TV tapped it for production by GONZO instead. the rest (as they say) is history.holla!
