Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.

  • THANK YOU! Jeff Leibow and the DOODLE 4 NF Committee
    DOODLE 4 NF P.O. Box 194443 San Francisco, CA 94119 www.doodle4NF.org Dear Friend, My name is Jeff, and this is my daughter Emma in the picture. Chances are, you have never heard of neuro- fibromatosis. Three years ago, neither had I, and neither had my wife. It wasn't until Emma was diagnosed with NF that we became aware of its existence. Since then we have learned that it is one of the most common genetic disorders. One in every 3,000 babies is born with NF. Neurofibromatosis can affect any family. Imagine an unpredictable disease that causes tumors to form on your nerves, sometimes resulting in disfigurement, paralysis, deafness, blindness or cancer. In the wrong place even benign tumors can be fatal. Despite decades of research, there is still no cure for NF, and treatments are largely inadequate. But there is hope. The Neurofibromatosis Network is a national non-profit whose mission is to provide services to the NF community and to promote federal funding for NF research. My wife and I have made it our mission to raise awareness and support for those living with NF. That is where you come in. All we are asking is that you take a few minutes to create a doodle and sign it. The money raised at auction could make a world of difference to the 100,000 people living with this disorder, including Emma. Join with actress Gillian Anderson, who lost her brother to NF in 2011, by participating in the DOODLE 4 NF charity auction of celebrity Doodles.

  • Black Opera As Architecture Kimberly Drew, Office Magazine
    PERES PROJECTS I’m Tired of Being Your Side Bitch: Black Opera As Architecture Interview + Curation by Kimberly Drew To be frank, I worry that we might be getting too comfortable. As Black creatives, we’re finding ourselves getting full on the crumbs fed to us by the old guard. We’re making meals of vis- ibility. If we aren’t careful we might find ourselves famished This admission is not meant to be an indictment, but an obser- vation. Countless institutions were not built with us in mind and, of course, we are all just doing our best. That said, I would be remiss not to announce a bit of curiosity about this moment of Black cultural progress. I wonder how we might maintain our dignity. I wonder how we might set our own stages for ourselves. In a 2017 interview, the filmmaker and multimedia artist Arthur Jafa explained his desire to make Black cinema “with the power, beauty, and alienation of black music.” Jafa, who’s worked on films ranging from Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust (1991) to Solange’s Don’t Touch My Hair, to his latest film, The White Album, which recently won the highest honor at the Venice Bi- ennale, often fuses Black music into his film work to drive narra- tive. In conversation with critic and writer Antwaun Sargent, he explains, “Music is the one space in which we [as Black people] know we have totally actualized ourselves.” This year, while viewing the work of nomadic, multidisciplinary artist Richard Kennedy, I stood in the back of an audience at The Kitchen as he presented a one-person opera calling out ex- lovers and corporations in the same breath.
