Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo have taken the Las Vegas journeys from the pages to the silver screen and their return to print is set, with the help of cartoonist Troy Little. Top Shelf Productions, an imprint of IDW Publishing, has announced this adaptation of “Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas” will begin their entrance into the world of graphic novels.

IDW Publishing has made a name for itself in the world of comics since their start in 1999, they have developed huge franchises and they have taken the proper risks to create a brand that can challenge the iconic legends. Now, with their entrance into the graphic novels battle ground, they are releasing a beloved classic into a world that should fit the works of Hunter S. Thompson like a glove.

“I’m so pleased that one of the first collaborative projects to come out of the Top Shelf/ IDW relationship will be Troy Little’s inspired take on a true classic of American literature,” said Top Shelf Editor-In-Chief Chris Staros in a press release. “One of the most unforgettable writers turned loose in one of my favorite cities! We can’t wait to show you what Troy’s done with it.”
If you have not read this classical work of Hunter S. Thompson, buy the ticket and take the ride. The original novel and 1998 Terry Gilliam film are readily available online.

Over the past few years, the most thankless job in Hollywood has been hosting the Academy Awards. There have been many that have tried and left before they could be asked if they would like to return, from Neil Patrick Harris to the much underrated Seth MacFarlane, this is a dream job that brings on a nightmare of a hangover. So the question has been asked and the host of the 88th Academy Awards has been revealed, Chris Rock will be taking the stage.

This will be a return visit for Rock, as he hosted this event back in 2005, and will definitely give the proper shock to the normal Academy Awards viewer and critics system. As Rock has grown into the creatively mind behind the camera and continues to be the top level performer in front of the camera, Rock still has the heart of a stand-up comic and that has been missing from the OSCAR stage.

The 88th Academy Award Nomination will be announced on January 14th 2016
The 88th Academy Awards will air February 28th 2016

The Blacklist Revisited.. A Look From Nowhere At “Trumbo”

During the late 1940’s, the fear of communism was sweeping the nation and the label of “communist” was a one way ticket to a destroyed life. At this time, the US government established the House Committee on Un-American Activities and this committee began to summon anyone they suspected of less than American qualities.

There was one community they questioned and, in some eyes, used as an example, that group was the big names of Hollywood. There was no position that was protected and everyone seem to be getting summoned, but there were some professionals that refused to answer these subpoenas. This group were known as “The Hollywood Ten”

These writers, producers, and directors decided to refuse to answer the committee’s question, as they claimed that this form of questioning stepped on their constitutional rights. These actions were not tolerated and contempt charges were leveled, after a House of Representatives vote of 346 to 17.

The members of “The Hollywood Ten” were hit with fines and jail times, but a lingering punishment was attached to them, “The Hollywood Ten” were now blacklisted. While on the black list, these people could not find work in the Hollywood system and their lives were altered forever.

At first, the black list contained only “The Hollywood Ten” and the list continued to grow. The list continued through the 1960’s and contained over 150 names, but it all started with “The Hollywood Ten” and Dalton Trumbo was a member of the group.

Dalton Trumbo was a screenwriter and novelist, he enjoyed some success and built a strong career, but everything changed in October 1947. In that year, Trumbo was placed on the black list and he wasn’t ready to disappear into Hollywood oblivion. Trumbo’s time on the black list and his battle to regain his career is the plot of the new film called “Trumbo”

“Trumbo” is directed by Jay Roach and follows the career of Dalton Trumbo, who is played by Bryan Cranston, as he is black listed and decides to rebel against the system.

When watching the trailer of “Trumbo”, you realize this story revolves around a forgotten era of Hollywood and this era is a period of time that some viewers will not understand. The Hollywood black list is a time where the victims didn’t sit and complain, they just simply wanted to get back to work and “Trumbo” is a film that will get this story out to a generation that could use a reminder to fight for you passion.

The cast and crew that assembled for this project seem to be dedicated and passionate about the subject. Honestly, I can not wait for the release of the movie in November.

Las Vegas has multiple names and Sin City is one of the most notorious labels for this desert city. In a 24 hour world of any vice imaginable, the darkest stories are never too hard to find and one of these stories has made its world premiere at the Tucson Festival of Films.
Death-In-The-Desert

The film is “Death In The Desert” and revolves around a darkly dysfunctional love triangle. Kim Davis, who is played by Shayla Beesley, becomes the live-in girlfriend of Ray Easler. Easler, who is played by Michael Madsen, is a legendary casino owner and he lives a drugged fueled Vegas life, with that mix Easler a rash decision to bury $20 million dollars in silver in the middle of the Nevada desert. As this is a difficult task, Easler hires on some help and this help comes in the form of Matt Duvall. Duvall, who is played by John Palladino, catches the eye of Kim and with that final piece, a perfect storm of destruction is unleashed.

As you can tell from this extended trailer, this film is deserving of the critical acclaim and will be an intense trip into the world of true crime.

“Death In The Desert” is based on the book written by Cathy Scott and was directed by Josh Evans, with John Steppling adapting this story for the big screen.

Prepare yourself for this dark Vegas journey, as Paragon Pictures will unleash “Death In The Desert” on DVD and VOD January 2016

Last year marked the 20th anniversary of this movie and for the longest time, this movie was at the top of my all-time favorite films. Over the past few years, Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator” has begun a battle for the top spot and it is a continuing war, but I will always have a special place in my heart for this dark classic.
This movie still has a dark cloud that continues to hang over it, but the true fans of this movie will never let their passion for this movie die.

So with that love and fondness, let’s take a look at the cast THEN (1994) And NOW..

Eric Draven was played by Brandon Lee. Lee was killed in a tragic accident, during production of this film and “The Crow” was his last role.

Nowhere Invades The West Files And MASSACRE Los Angeles Premiere..

I was recently invited to the Los Angeles premieres for two great short films, MASSACRE and The West Files. The event took place at Busby’s East and it turned out to be an amazing night, the films were great and I had the opportunity to talk with a few people behind these productions.

(AUDIO) Nowhere California Presents Our Coverage Of The West Files And MASSACRE LA Premiere

In genre that can be easily crowded with mindless blood spilling, MASSACRE is a twisted and refreshing sight on the screen. Pandie wrote and Erik Boccio constructed a whirlwind of a short film. This short hits every point a full length independent feature can only wish to hit.

The West Files, as a short film, was a funny and inventive watch. The West Files, as a television series, needs to happen. In a short period of time, the story is built and each character is developed enough to make you want more.

We will keep you posted on any new development that occur with these projects and, hopefully, we will have another opportunity to talk with the talents behind these productions.
