Two Kentucky librarians have claimed that they were fired after refusing to lend an 11-year-old an Alan Moore graphic novel. Sharon Cook and Beth Bovaire of Nicholasville, Jessamine county removed The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen from the girl's hold list after deeming it unsuitable, according to local TV stations. Cook described the book as "pornography" in her interviews. "Residents in Jessamine county do not realise (more) »

Alan Moore comic dubbed 'pornographic'
23 October 2009 10:24 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's classic graphic novel The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen has been dubbed pornographic by two Us library attendants. Beth Bovaire and Sharon Cook, from Nicholasville, Ky, refused to allow an 11-year-old girl to borrow the book on the grounds that it contained inappropriate material. Both employees were dismissed over the incident, but have stood by their actions. "If you give children pornography, a child, a 12-year-old, cannot understand and process the same way a 30-year-old can," Cook told a local television news station. Bovaire (more) »

Stephen Norrington's The Crow Remake is Moving Forward?
21 October 2009 6:28 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Nearly a year ago, it was officially announced that Stephen Norrington, of the train wreck that was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, would be returning to directing after some 5 years to remake Alex Proyas' The Crow. Considering the history surrounding that film, fans were in an uproar, but Norrington insisted it was his passion project. We haven't heard anything since then, but Mania.com has an update from a "source close to the production" who tells them that Norrington has turned in a script to Relativity Media and that it was "very well received." With that approval, it's now moving forward into the casting stage. If this update is accurate (it seems legit), it looks like we'll actually be getting a Crow remake, reboot or whatever you want to call it, whether you like it or not. Need I remind you that The Crow was actually based on a »

New reboot of ‘The Crow’ is ready for casting
21 October 2009 5:56 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
The Crow reboot is still moving forward and the relaunch of the James O’Barr graphic novel will reportedly move towards casting.
Writer-director Stephen Norrington is still on board with the project and his script for the new Crow is believed to be “very well received” by the project’s production company Relativity Media. The firm will now work on casting. No word when this step will actually begin.
Norrington’s Crow won’t be a direct remake of the 1994 Alex Proyas film starring Brandon Lee, who died while filming the movie. Instead, the film will move away from the grim Gothic styles to present a “realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style,” Norrington says.
Since 2003’s dismal The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Norrington has been in relative obscurity and has only worked in the effects department on a few features.

Will Sean Connery be Lured out of Retirement for Indiana Jones 5?
22 September 2009 7:36 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
On the scale of cataclysmic mistakes, Sean Connery’s decision to spurn the role of Gandalf in “The Lord of the Rings” ranks prodigiously high. As well as pivoting away from the potential to earn up to $400 million – 15% of the trilogy’s earnings – because he didn’t “get” the story, he also missed a chance to breath new life into his career as an action star that was already well-rounded. Instead, he decided to play Allan Quatermain in “The League of Extraordinary Gentleman” and only starred in one movie ever again. Now Digital Spy is reporting that studio execs are attempting to coax the 79-year-old Connery out of retirement to reprise his role as Professor Henry Jones for Indiana Jones 5, a role which he had played previously in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. According to one source: “Steven Spielberg has been working on a script with George Lucas »

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: September 13, 2009
13 September 2009 12:36 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It’s Sunday again and that means Wrap Up time.
This week:
Tyler Perry does Bad at the top of the box office; Timothy Dalton plays with Toys; Anton Yelchin gets some Beaver; Max Ryan gets involved in Sex and Eva Green and Ewan McGregor have the Last Word.
Box Office
I Can Do Bad All By Myself topped the box office with $25 million. While it’s not the best gross for a Tyler Perry opening it does show that he has an audience that shows up.
The Tim Burton-produced 9 had a better than expected debut with $15.5 million.
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds was third with another $6.5 million. With a total gross of $104 million the film has now become Tarantino’s highest grossing film - unadjusted of course.
Sandra Bullock’s All About Steve was fourth with $5.8 million. The film’s cumulative gross currently stands at $21 million.

The English-born actor will join the "Sex and the City" sequel, filming right now. He will play the role of Rikard, an European architect who becomes the tasty apple of Samantha's eye.

Blade: the spin-off trilogy?
7 July 2009 10:15 PM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
The Blade trilogy, then: solid start, great second act, turd of a third. But now original director Stephen Norrington appears to be planning a prequel. Talking to Comics2Film, the man also responsible for The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, has confirmed he's working on the project. To whit: Norrington has an idea for a spin-off that sprang from Stephen Dorrf’s mind and "has evolved into a very interesting story." But while Dorff went on record to talk about the film – or possibly trilogy – featuring...

Books: Review: April 16, 2009

The last time Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill explored the universe of their League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, they emerged with The Black Dossier, an imaginative but largely impenetrable romp through centuries of varied pop-culture forms and iconic characters. Next up: Century, a three-part graphic novel that tells self-contained stories of Moore and O’Neill’s literary League, set in 1910, 1968, and 2008. The 80-page Century: 1910 (Top Shelf) kicks off the epic with arguably the most accessible Lxg story Moore has ever written—one so straightforward that it almost seems a sop to all the fans who complained ... »
Naseer sees through the Hollywood hype
14 March 2009 6:23 AM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Naseeruddin Shah has been there and done, much before Indians went crazy about ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and the Oscar glory. He in fact runs it all down in his own smart way.
The actor was tipped to play the Mahatma in Richard Attenborough’s ‘Gandhi’ and has done ‘The League of Extraordinary Gentleman’ alongside Sean Connery.
He recalls his ‘Gandhi’ experience after 27 long years.
He’s said, “I realised quite quickly that I was never in the running for it seriously. Ben Kingsley had been cast. I didn’t speak to a soul about it. The rumour had it that I had. »

Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic - Review
13 March 2009 9:34 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
The Zack Snyder adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' classic Watchmen has been in theaters for a week now, splitting fanboys down the middle as easily as Dr. Manhattan splits the atom. One side accepts that changes had to be made to bring the story to the screen, whereas the other feel that the only adaptation would be perfectly frame-for-frame, with no concessions made. There is the third side, comprised entirely of Alan Moore, who would grumble incomprehensibly about having their literary children raped before casting black magic on Stephen Norrington for Lxg. Not that he doesn't deserve it... Leading up to the live-action films' release, DC Comics and parent company Warner Bros. decided to... »

Today's list of quick items-- Watchmen, Watchmen everywhere:
Flickr: Bad viral marketing. See right.
Dave Gibbons video on how 2000 Ad influenced Watchmen.
Also from Wired: Legendary Comics Writer Alan Moore on Superheroes, The League, and Making Magic
From the Onion A/V Club: In the wake of Watchmen: 24 more graphic novels we’d like to see made into movies
We Know Watchmen’s Box-Office Future. By these calculations, they're guessing around $172 million domestic. That feels about right to me. The New York Observer, on the other hand, has no real idea and just throws out ideas, but they do have an interview with Damon Lindelof about Marketing Watchmen; he must have time now that Hulk vs. Wolverine is back on schedule.
And finally, in lieu of a happy meal (because the movie is not for kids, Debbie) we have the Watchmen Bento Box (thank you, Lisa):

Connery 'Demanded Bigger Explosions'
2 February 2009 11:20 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sir Sean Connery racked up huge bills on the set of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen because he demanded the film feature the biggest explosion of his career, according to writer Alan Moore. Moore, who wrote the comic the 2003 action movie was based on, alleges the actor was obsessed with having massive detonations - and even worked them into his contract.
Moore says, "The film cost £100 million because Sean Connery wanted £17 million of that - and a bigger explosion than the one he's had in his last film.
"It's in his contract that he has to have a bigger explosion with every film he's in." »
