Promo for ABC’s “V”

 

I liked the original, so of course I’m wary, but this is exciting!

Be prepared to consume a lot more DC products…

 

It looks like there’s some restructuring going on at DC by Warner Bros, going by this article on the Vertigo blog: Warner Bros. Creates DC Entertainment

“There are endless creative possibilities to build upon the many significant successes already achieved by my colleagues Kevin Tsujihara and the Home Entertainment Group in the videogame, home video and direct-to-platform arenas and Bruce Rosenblum and the Television Group in live-action, animated and digital series. Collectively, we have the ability to grow a body of properties highlighting the iconic characters and the diversity of the creative output of DC Comics.” – Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Group

Vote for Rorschach Right Now!

 

This is Erin asking you to click this link right now and vote for Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach for the Spike TV 2009 Scream Awards. It’s really easy, just click, no registration needed.

Watchmen has nominations in 12 other categories, but I don’t care if you vote for any of them. Just make sure you vote for Jackie Earle Haley.

Apparently, this is his only shot at winning any award for the Rorschach performance, and that is just not right. Vote every day. This is not justice.
