EXCLUSIVE: Legendary Pictures has acquired the feature film rights to Bitter Root, the acclaimed horror-action series from Image Comics that centers on an African-American family of monster hunters who ply their trade in New York City during the stirring era of the Jazz Age.

The series creators — David F. Walker, Sanford Greene, and Chuck Brown, will executive produce along with Big Machine’s Sean Owolo. Jon Silk and Disney Hall will oversee the project for Legendary. Bitter Root has been a breakout success for Image Comics since the 24-page inaugural issue hit store shelves the week before last Thanksgiving. The critical response was glowing (on Comic Book Roundup, the review aggregation site, the series scored a 9.2 critics rating and 8.7 user rating) and the fan interest was immediate (a second printing was ordered just two days after the debut issue’s street date).

So more "fan gator gate" tears to fall as someone else they harassed is finding success.

I do think it is funny that "all the star war fans" on social media claimed they were done... then heard Sheev laugh and are back in 100% sold no questions asked.

You know, Marvel has no problem giving us some fan service

Okoye, Widow, and SW teaming up to fight Proxima is fan service

spoilers:

all the females just happen to team up in End game is female fan service

end of spoilers


And I am down for it. Movies should have fan service... it is made for the fans.

So when we gonna get that "all black heroes together" fan service lol?

Bruce Lee/Tarantino thing is funny

People who actually knew Lee as friends or family- "wth this is disrespectful as hell"

Tarantino who read about him- "no no its ok!"

Tarantino stans: "you are being sensitive, here are 100 excuses that Tarantino himself didn't but this is what he meant!"

I don't care either way, don't lik eTarantino, this weird and the same a thte same time though

According to Iger in his new book - The Ride of A Lifetime - that decision came after Marvel Entertainment put forward some pretty shocking concerns about movies with diverse characters.

Iger reveals that Kevin Feige was on board with Black Panther from the start but an unnamed Marvel executive in New York said they were reluctant to let it happen because movies led by black actors often underperformed at the international box office. "I’ve been in the business long enough to have heard every old argument in the book, and I’ve learned that old arguments are just that: old, and out of step with where the world is and where it should be," Iger writes.

"We had a chance to make a great movie and to showcase an underrepresented segment of America, and those goals were not mutually exclusive. I called Ike and told him to tell his team to stop putting up roadblocks and ordered that we put both Black Panther and Captain Marvel into production."

Ike is the worst.

"progressive" NBA kissing China's feet after a damn tweet is disgusting as hell.

China is literally a super villain country but the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ always wins.

Hi ya'll, my name is Joe Rocha and I work as producer at PBS Austin. We just started a new comic book show where we review comic books that have social and political relevance and just wanted to share a link with you all if that's okay? We would also like some feedback on future books to cover especially those that feature women, LGBTQ+ and POC. Thank you!

Well it looks like the usual set of trolls are now going after Jurnee Smollett Bell on Twitter. Calling for a boycott of the Birds of Prey film.

Since her brother's antics and the "fact" the movie does not respect source material.

As I asked in the DC Movie thread-what is the source material?

Birds of Prey had 9 different writers and 31 trades on the shelf and a tv show.

So what version are they screaming for?
