Empress Eve   |  @   |  

GhostbustersLooks like the next Ghostbusters project will be in the form of a videogame!

Vivendi Games and Sony Pictures are working on creating a Ghostbusters videogame franchise, the first game of which will be released by Vivendi’s Sierra label in Fall of 2008, according to Variety.

Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, and Harold Ramis, who starred in the two Ghostbusters films in 1984 and 1989 respectively, will give their voice and likeness rights for the game. Aykroyd and Ramis will also write a story for the game which will take place in the early 1990s, post-Ghostbusters II, in what will be a new ghoul invasion of New York City.

Some of the films’ supporting actors have also signed on for the project, including William Atherton, Brian Doyle Murray, and Annie Potts.

Developer Terminal Reality is making a Ghostbusters game for PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360, while Red Fly Studios is making a version for Playstation 2, Wii, and DS.

Eleven Questions with T.E. Pouncey: Mono
space
T.E. Pouncey   |  

(because ten questions aren’t enough — and who has time to read twelve?)

Mono aka SiMONOke aka CbleekMono AKA: SiMONOke, AKA: Cbleek is a mysterious Dutch artist, creator of the comic Crackhead Angel (about drug addiction in a group of supermodels), a techno-mix musician, and single working mom.

Born in 1974, Mono won a painting contest in 1986 (at the age of 12) sponsored by the Museum of Resistance (the theme of the contest was “Freedom”). In 1992, Mono attended the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam after high school graduation and was admitted to Art School.

“My first year (of) Art school was in 1992 and was chaotic but life changing,” she said. “Hanging out in the Storm gallery, a squat where I first came in contact with the traveller/tekno party scene. I switched from Rotterdam to the prestigious Art institute in Dusseldorf, and joined my mentor (and boyfriend) Ulrich Lamsfuss, there as an infiltrant (an unregistered student) in weekends and holidays.”

Confessing almost right away that she was not an “official” student, Mono, much to her surprise, was accepted as a temporary student.

“I could work there whenever I wanted,” she said. ” The relationship ended but those busy months of peddling between Rotterdam and Dusseldorf were fruitful for not only could I develop my own style and vision in my own time , it also lead to changes in the way Rotterdam academy approaches their students today.”

Mono is also working on a children’s book: “Libbie, stories about a serious old child” (written in Dutch), and various other projects. Her work can be viewed at her official site and on her MySpace profile.

T.E. Pouncey: When did you first become interested in being an illustrator?

Mono: I’ve drawn for as long as I can remember, using this skill to control the uncontrollable things in my life. Hopes, desires, and fears translated into drawings, safely and sometimes (the sensual ones, inspired by Henry Millers’ Sexus, Nexus, Plexus on my parents’ bookshelf) secretly put on paper. Transforming thoughts into lines was second nature. My favorite material is East Indian ink and goose feather pen.

Geeks Gear Up For ‘Beowulf’

The Geeks of Doom   |  @   |  

For months now, a bunch of us here at Geeks of Doom have been chatting it up together about the highly anticipated Robert Zemeckis-directed feature film Beowulf, which hits IMAX 3D, digital, and conventional theaters everywhere tomorrow (with select showings tonight).

The performance-capture film has a script by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary based on the Old English poem and stars Ray Winstone, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich, Robin Wright Penn, Brendan Gleeson, Crispin Glover, Alison Lohman, and Angelina Jolie.

While that cast and crew is quite impressive, it seems like most of us have some apprehension about the use of performance-capture technology to create the entire film. Here’s some of our thoughts:

‘Atonement’ – 3 New Teaser Posters
space
Empress Eve   |  @   |  

Atonement Focus Features has just released 3 teaser posters for their upcoming Joe Wright-directed film Atonement, starring Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, and Saoirse Ronan.

Atonement, which hits theaters on December 7, 2007, was written by Christopher Hampton based on the novel by Ian McEwan.

See the three new poster images here after the jump, along with the official synopsis.

At first glance, this movie might appear like the same old period romance piece rehashed. Even the filmmakers (including Wright, who directed Knightley in Pride & Prejudice) have labeled it a “British romance.” But, judging by the synopsis and the previously posted trailer and movie clips, it seems like much more. Yes, there is a romance between Knightley and McAvoy’s characters, but there’s also the false accusation a young girl (Saoirse Ronan) makes and the consequential damages it has on all three of their lives.
