Warren Ellis’ GRAVEL To Be Adapted Into Film By Tim Miller
Tim Miller is a super-VFX-wizard whose work you may have seen most recently in the Fincher-powered Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. He was responsible for the opening credits sequence, which was both amazing and probably the only portion of the movie worth watching. Now he is going to helm the adaptation of the Warren Ellis comic book Gravel.

‘JURASSIC PARK’ Set For 3D Re-Release Next Year. OH JOY.
Steven Spielberg may lament changing E.T., but it appears he isn’t beyond throwing together some shitty 3D for a re-release of Jurassic Park. Hey, you win some, you lose some.

A PIMP’S Android Pattern Lock Defeated The Feds. Lock Screens +1
I have a friend who has an Android and I can never guess his dumb fucking lock pattern. So I just do it so many times that it locks itself out and then I laugh at him. Depending on your perspective, I’m in good company. The Feds!
CYCLOPS And CAPTAIN AMERICA Staredown In Amazingly Awful ‘AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #2’ Teaser.
I haven’t been covering the endless teasers for Avengers Vs. X-Men, but I had to post this one for two seconds. First off, there’s no way that Cyclops could hang with Captain America. Secondly, it features the best/worst tagline ever somehow deemed worthy of being put on a promo.

‘SIN CITY 2’ May Shoot This Summer, And Other Rodriguez Tidbits.
Oh, to dream of Sin City 2. There was a day when the merest mention of the movie got my little noir ultra-violent core most excite!!!!, but not anymore. I’ve been deceived too many times. Told the film was on its way to fruition over and over again. Now at SXSW, Robert Rodriguez is trying to get my hopes up. Again.
