One of the funniest [and coolest] things that I've seen lately has to do with Transformers.

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either... Transformers!

Even if you're too old or young to have played with them, you're probably aware of 'em. They were toys in the shape of cars, trucks, and just about anything that with a few twists could be, uh, transformed into something else.

At any rate I discovered the link while checking out Dean Trippe's new blog... click on THIS LINK and check out the coolest Transformer ever.

And I swear on all that is good... Big Beatty used to dance just like that!

Don't believe me? Read this interview with Robert Rodriguez [brought to us by Quint at AICN] and you'll be a believer! Man, I can't wait...

The Sci Fi channel has, for weeks, been advertising an "unauthorized documentary" [some even called it a "disturbing expose" ] about M. Knight Shyamalan. The story was that M. Knight first cooperated, but then tried to shut it down when producers delved too deeply into his personal life. The documentary advertised that it would present a "buried secret."

I'll be the first to admit that the documentary sounded interesting, but something about it just didn't seem right. My wife speculated, a couple of weeks ago, that M. Knight was probably behind the whole thing... and it turns out she was right.

Today the Sci Fi cable network and parent company NBC Universal acknowledged that the documentary was really part of a "guerrilla marketing" hoax that went too far. It seems that "a number of entertainment journalists..." were left "...grumbling after they were duped..."

I watched the special and it was so obvious that the doc was set -up, that anyone who is upset because they were duped should be upset with himself for being so gullible.

The Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow site is starting to make available more and more cool stuff to get us all psyched for the movie.

In addition to the cool movie poster shown to the left, JoBlo.com has six others that are just as cool. [Well... most of them are.]

JoBlo also has several images from the movie.

The official site has a new trailer, which looks even better than the teaser did.

There's also a cool clip of an undersea battle available at Apple's trailer site for Sky Captain.

I really don't know how Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is going to do at the box office, but I do know that I can't wait to see it.

The cheers that you've been hearing may be from horror fans around the world.

It's been announced that George Romero is finally going to get to see his fourth "Living Dead" movie make it to the big screen! Written and directed by George his-own-bad-self, it'll be titled Land of the Dead. [Leaving behind the "time" theme of Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead.]

In this one, the zombies have overrun the world and the few people still alive are forced to live behind fortified skyscraper walls. Only now the slow-moving brainless zombies are starting to change...

The film is set to begin production in October. For full details click HERE!

Since many ZONErs are comic fans, you probably already know who Mike "Ringo" Wieringo is. For those of you who don't...

... Mike has worked for Marvel, DC and Image Comics. He also is co-creator of the Tellos comic series with writer Todd Dezago. Mike is currently teaming with writer Mark Waid on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four which continues to receive rave reviews.

What's really cool, in addition to the comic work that Mike's doing, is that he has his own website. There you'll find a bio, a gallery, and a bunch of other neat sections... but my favorite is Mike's blog which he has been updating regularly of late.

I'm about to drop him a line and let him know how much I'm enjoying his art updates. Check out his site and you may want to do the same!
