Studio Ghibli will enter a "restructuring" phase

Santa, all I want for Christmas is for Studio Ghibli to keep making movies!

Truly sad news for animation fans, Studio Ghibli, worldwide known for producing animated masterpieces such as Princess Mononoke and Grave of the Fireflies will stop producing movies for a while (which is better than the rumor about them closing shop). According to The Telegraph, this decision was taken because their movies are expensive to make and, sadly The Tale of Princess Kaguya flopped (I haven't seen the movie but Isao Takahata is an amazing director).

Ghibli's movies contain excellent stories carried by amazingly rounded characters that populate awesomely detailed worlds. The designs in those movies are gorgeous and creative, from Howl's Castle to Porko Rosso's airplane. Hopefully the studio will return soon! The studio's last movie (before entering the hiatus) When Marnie was There does not have a Western release date (as of the date of this article).

Fox, please make that Deadpool movie!

Taken from Newsarama

An animated short film featuring Deadpool was leaked earlier this week and boy, it's amazing. It feels like no other comic book movie. I won't put a link here because Fox is taking them down really fast (I don't want to get sued). They nailed the character voice and style (it has the "breaking the fourth wall"humor from Wayne's World mixed with Tarantino like violence). In the short, Ryan Reynolds reprises the role (via motion capture and voice acting) of Wade Wilson but more true to the comic book version and its perfect! Even in the disaster that was Wolverine Origins, Reynolds played the character well in the flashback scenes (well, the whole movie is a flashback so lets call it the pre-no mouth scenes). Even Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza (the character's creators) praised this short clip.

The only problem I see (and I'm sure is the reason for not being made) is: who is the target audience? Comic book fans are a very small group, the studio won't make the kind of money they want, even if each Deadpool fan sees the movie multiple times. But, let's hope this project sees the light of day.

Fun with Photoshop: Guardians of the Galaxy for the NES

New fake NES box and this time to celebrate the release of Marvel Studios latest movie. If you have any idea for a game box, please leave a comment.

Jason Todd is coming to Arkham Knight

Source.A Red Hood Story Pack will be available for the newest Batman game as a bonus when you pre-order from Gamestop (and most likely you will be able to purchase it months after the game release). The character was redesigned to fit the Arkham series style. I like the look, it looks like something anybody can put together. Sadly it doesn't come for the PS3 (just for XBox One, PC aqnd PS4), so I won't be able to play it.

Trailer for the Failed Superman Movie Documentary

 If you ever saw An Evening with Kevin Smith, you know there was going to be a Superman film in the 90's based (loosely) on the Death and Return storyline. Smith wrote the first draft, Tim Burton Burton was brought on board to direct and Nicholas Cage was cast as Superman (with a Kryptonian mullet). Long story short, the movie was never made but there are copies of the script, pictures of concept art and prototype Superman suits around the web that raised fan interest about the project. Film maker Jon Schnepp decided to make a documentary about the ill fated movie called The Death of Superman Lives: What Happened?. It includes interviews with Smith, Burton and even Grant Morrison (All-Star Superman writer).

I love this type of documentaries that gives you an idea of what happens behind production. And I remember rumors about this movie back in the 90's and wondered what happened. Still, I would love to see Nicholas Cage play Superman in a over-the-top kind of way (not in a big budget movie). Definitely a day-one purchase for me. For more info about the movie, check this site. I included the clip from An Evening with Kevin Smith. Enjoy.
