Huggy Wuggy has been called up by Hollywood.
Beating out several competitive offers, Legendary has closed an aggressive deal with Mob Entertainment to develop and produce a live-action feature adaptation of Poppy Playtime, a horror video game featuring the toy-turned-monster.
Legendary will develop and produce along with Mob Entertainment and Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Susan Montford, who recently finished filming horror movie Faces of Death for the company.
Featuring shades of Willy Wonka, Toy Story and Gremlins, the first person video game sees the player acting as a former employee of a faded toy brand who, thanks to a cryptic letter, is drawn back to an abandoned facility only to quickly discover it has become home to a host of toys, including Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, and CatNap, that have taken on a life of their own. Players have to decipher clues, solve puzzles and use gadgets to...

Force Nomad have been tasked with providing humanitarian (and all other species) support to refugees fleeing a civil war which has broken out on the Planet Harkon. Looking forward to a easy mission of peacekeeping and order, Nomad are surprised to find smugglers hiding among the refugees who have no problem with using the fleeing natives as cover. It only takes one itchy trigger finger to turn a peaceful mission into a chaotic war zone of galactic proportions.
As I take my second tentative step into the Alien Legion series, I am once again thrown in head first to an explosive issue of space combat, a plethora of alien races and a whole bunch of alien phrases which make my brains turn into a soft putty in my head. If there is one comic...

As a civil war breaks out on one of the rim worlds in the galaxy, hundreds of refugees flee the system, seeking asylum in safer areas. However, it is up to Force Nomad, a team of specialists, to determine which of these hundreds of ships are actually weapon less, peaceful asylum seekers, trying to escape from the horrors of war, and which are the types with a more aggressive agenda, trying to use the war to their advantage.
I have never heard of the Alien Legion comics before so this is my first foray into this space faring, science fiction comic’s universe. Alien Legion: Uncivil War #1 is written by Chuck Dixon & Carl Potts and at first glance you can’t help but draw comparisons with the soon to be on the big screen team,...

Titan Comics have announced the launch of Alien Legion: Uncivil War a brand-new series which brings together the creative giants behind the legendary original Alien Legion stories: Chuck Dixon (Punisher War Journal, Savage Sword of Conan, Batman and the Outsiders) and Carl Potts (The Punisher, The Incredible Hulk) with fantastic art by Larry Stroman (Wolverine, The Punisher).
In a galaxy savaged by strife, torn by civil war, boiling with spilt blood, Alien Legion is a cosmic military force doing its damnedest to keep the peace by being always ready for war.
At the tip of the Legion’s multi-species spear is Force Nomad – the worst of the worst fashioned on the white-hot forge of battle into the best of the best. Now the squad’s grizzled veterans are on what should be a boring milk run; shepherding refugees fleeing a civil war ripping apart their system. Could be a...

HeyUGuys is normally a website devoted to film and all that goes along with film. I’m going to switch gears here for a moment and talk about books. Last fall I did an interview with screenwriter Derek Haas (Wanted, 3:10 to Yuma) regarding a short story from his website PopcornFiction.com that was picked up by Jerry Bruckheimer. In the course of that interview, Derek made mention that he was writing the third story in a series of books and that his second novel was on the verge of release. So I did what any book lover would do. I got them, read them and then interviewed Derek again.
His first novel, The Silver Bear, is focused on a gun for hire that goes by the name of Columbus. The story , narrated by Columbus, follows him on one of his not so routine missions. Crisscrossing between his past and his present,...

Rob Marshall, the director of Chicago who’s lately been shopping himself around town advertising for the Fellini-inspired musical Nine, has also had something to say about his potential direction for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
That is to say, he’s skeptical that it’ll even happen with his name attached, even though just a month ago he was completely sure he’d be the one returning Captain Jack Sparrow to the screen.
“We’re still trying to figure out if it’s going to all happen. If it happens–I think Johnny’s doing a movie with Angelina Jolie in the spring [The Tourist] — so if it happens, we’ll start in the summer, and we’ll see. I’m excited. If it happens, it happens. I’d be thrilled. I just love Johnny and I’m excited about the genre.”
That sounds to me like a polite...

#1 New poster for Daniel Calparsoro's "Circus"
We'd previous brought you a detailed description of Daniel Calparsoro's film which essentially sees an American family stranded in the middle of the desert with a circus of crazies. The good folks at Bd have uncovered a new poster for the film. It's pretty spiffy!
#2 Richard Matheson's "Real Steel" coming to the big screen
Not sure how I feel about news that Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy is at the helm of this project but the story of a "father and son action drama set in the near future, surrounding the sport of robot boxing" sounds promising, as does the tidbit that Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in the production. At the very least we know the special effects will look good. [via Sci-Fi Wire]
#3 First look at Frank Beddor's "The Looking Glass Wars" concept art
Jack of all trades...
