Dead Space / Superman / Iron Man 2

I was already finding it a little difficult to not run out and buy Dead Space. Then I discovered this two month old article about how Warren Ellis contributed heavily to the plot and backstory. Not enough time or money to be both a video game geek AND a comic book nerd! [Source: Wired]

Richard Donner spoke with the L.A. Times recently and mentioned that they should let Geoff Johns write the next Superman movie. Dear Warner Bros.- please, please, please listen to him! He knows what he's talking about. [Source: Newsarama]

Don Cheadle is replacing Terrence Howard as Col. James Rhodes in the Iron Man sequel. While I really dislike when they switch actors in mid-stream, I understand how it's really easy for that to happen. Oh- and Don Cheadle is awesome. [Source: Splash Page]

Two things you should know...

1. Matt Fraction is helping out with the Iron Man sequel.

From Newsarama:

"NRAMA: What, if anything, does Favreau wanting to bring in your sensibility on Iron Man 2

mean for you? Have you been officially contacted or anything like that?

MF: Yeah-- I've already been out to LA for three days, working at Marvel West with Jon, the screenwriter Justin Theroux, Kevin Fiege, the head of Marvel Studios, and Jeremy Latcham, the film's producer. We went over the thing, basically, the spine of what Iron Man II is and how it moves and why and who's in it and what they want and how they get it and what happens and were it takes place and why and everything. Workshopped it all.

So, in a very literal way, it meant me, being in a room, with those guys. Which is brain-meltingly awesome. And the movie's gonna be amazing."

2. Batman: Black & White and Superman: Red Son will follow Watchmen in becoming animated comics. They will be distributed through iTunes, Amazon VOD, Xbox Live and a few other places. [Source: Again, Newsarama]
