Tim Burton’s Tragic Technology: Cell Phone and Laptop Skins Available Today!

The next wave of Dark Horse Skins arrive featuring artwork from the legendary Tim Burton

from Dark Horse Comics:

The popularity of skins that both personalize and protect our modern electronic devices is growing by leaps and bounds. Dark Horse Deluxe, an imprint of Dark Horse Comics, and manufacturer GelaSkins have teamed up to launch a new collection of special designs for this contemporary platform, drawing on their longtime relationships with some of today’s most interesting and respected creative talents. Dark Horse is pleased to announce that the first designs featuring the original art and characters of director and artist Tim Burton are available now.

Burton’s career-spanning retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York opens November 22, 2009, and will continue through April 2010. Consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, the event will showcase Burton’s widespread influence on both artists and pop culture.

Dark Horse Deluxe has a long-standing licensing relationship with Tim Burton for his most personal work, the fascinating group of characters created for his book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories. The art and story have inspired a range of figures, toys, journals, and other collectibles that bring the characters alive and have been dubbed the Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys.

The new products take the technological tools that are now ubiquitous — laptops, computers, cell phones, and related other electronics — and turn them into a hip palette for personal expression while serving the useful function of protecting them from wear and tear.

“We have been planning this new platform for some time,” Dark Horse vice president of sales, marketing, and licensing Anita Nelson remarked. “We are proud to have Tim Burton’s strange and wonderful characters as the centerpiece. We are so pleased he likes the designs and think fans will agree.”

The complete Dark Horse line of Tim Burton GelaSkins can be seen here.

All are available for purchase now!

Odd and the Frost Giants

Neil Gaiman’s newest children’s book, Odd and the Frost Giants, was actually first published over a year ago in the UK as a World Book Day selection. In “A Note from Neil,” the author explains:

In most of the world (but not America) they have World Book Day. On World Book Day, in the UK, schoolchildren are given book tokens to buy books with, and a selection of special World Book Day Books are written and published and put on sale. The authors are not paid; the publishers do it for nothing. The idea is to get children reading. […]

I was thrilled when the book became a UK bestseller. I was delighted when my American publishers, HarperChildrens, told me they wanted to publish it in the US, and elated when I learned it would be illustrated by Brett Helquist, whose art I had loved ever since I first picked up The Bad Beginning.

HarperCollins’ version of the book is a lovely collector’s edition. The hardcover is wrapped in dark blue fabric, and the front features art by Brett Helquist. Helquist, best known as the illustrator of Lemony Snicket‘s A Series of Unfortunate Events, does the interior black-and-white line drawings, as well. He’s the perfect choice to illustrate Odd and the Frost Giants, which shares with Lemony Snicket’s tale of the Baudelaire orphans a similar dark-edged humour that’s common to so many stories that chronicle the trials of childhood.

Odd and the Frost Giants is set in Midgard (ancient Norway), and revolves around the titular Odd, a twelve-year-old Viking boy with exceedingly bad luck. Within the first few pages of the book, his father dies at sea, his leg is broken in a tree-cutting accident, his mother remarries into a family that’s less than welcoming to a crippled stepson, and the village is trapped in an unnatural, endless winter. Despite all this, Odd wears an everpresent smile, an enigmatic expression that irritates all of the villagers, except his mother. One day, Odd decides to leave home in search of better fortune elsewhere, launching him on a classic hero’s journey straight out of the Norse sagas. Deep in the woods, he meets a fox, bear, and eagle that turn out to be the Nordic gods Loki, Thor, and Odin, trapped in animal form. Tricked by the Frost Giants, they’ve been stripped of their powers and cast down to the mortal realm, where they despair of ever regaining Asgard, the land of the gods, again. Odd promptly promises the trio that he’ll lead them on their return, and break the Frost Giants’ winter spell in the process. Against all odds, Odd inevitably bests the Frost Giants, reassuring children that being small doesn’t necessarily equate with being helpless or unimportant. Adults (yes, it’s a book aimed at children, but adults will enjoy it, too!) will appreciate that Odd accomplishes his quest not with trickery or blunt force, but with intelligence, wit, and empathy.

Neil Gaiman has frequently written about Norse mythology, most notably in The Sandman and American Gods, but Odd and the Frost Giants is his first foray into this territory for young readers. As such, the gods are considerably more family-friendly than Gaiman’s previous incarnations, which were true to the Nordic legends’ bawdy roots, but adult readers will still be able to detect undertones of the old characters that made the gods of Gaiman’s more mature works so fully realized and enjoyable.

If there’s one complaint to be made about the book, it’s its slim, 128-page length. A World Book Day is limited to 15,000 words, making Odd and the Frost Giants a novelette rather than a full novel. It can easily be read in one sitting, so it seems that just as you’re getting into the story, it’s over. The story is so engaging, though, that you’ll want to start right at the beginning again, drawing the reading experience out. Gaiman also hints that the book has a sequel to look forward to:

Sooner or later — probably sooner — I’ll write another astonishingly short novel about Odd. I want to send him to Jerusalem, where the Vikings went, and further than that. He’s an extraordinarily delightful character to write, after all…

Odd is an extraordinarily delightful character to read about, as well, so it will be interesting to follow him on his continued adventures, wherever they take him, and see if he eventually makes it home again, smile intact.

Christmas Memorandum from Dr. Grordbort

from Weta:

TO ALL STAFF!

Memorandum on Christmas Celebrations

It has been brought to the attention of the SGCC (Seasonal Glee and Contentment Committee) that not all Grordbort Industries employees intend to be jolly this season. Whether this is due to lack of imagination or just plain ignorance we do not know, but we have today had our 8 step plan ratified by the board of Governors and intend to ensure you are happy whether you like it or not!

VICTORY is nigh! Launching this week with TWO book signings at the Weta Cave! Attendance compulsory for all staff below pay grade 14C.
The annual visit to the Royal Observatron at Greenwich has been replaced by a bare-knuckle boxing event at the Salvation Army in Lewisham. Mr. Slithers will keep a book on the event.
The shiny and therefore desirable Pearce 75 — Miniature Version has, through a most regrettable event involving a large grey squirrel and a Daimler crank shaft, unexpectedly started shipping! Not that we pay you nearly enough to be able to afford such beauty, but you can always gawk.
The results are in from our recent survey! We are pleased to announce that 74% of our respondents harbour more than a little resentment towards that sickly pale orb in the night sky and we would therefore like to announce the immediate commencement of Operation Lunatic.
The Righteous Bison is smashing particles world wide but has yet to put a single dent in anyone’s wallet! Extraordinary! It truly is a marvel of modern engineering and all staff in the Imitation Metal department (the light infantry) get an extra tuppence in their bonus envelopes.
Dr. Grordbort’s Art Book, signed by Arch-nerd Emeritus Greg Broadmore, is still available, but only just! Please note our Squalor Circumvention Detail will undoubtedly inspect your premises prior to delivery.
Our art exhibition in Oamaru (Venusian plains) has had a splendid reception. You are required to attend on three separate occasions and to bloody enjoy every single minute of it. The natives seem to!
Those who, after all this, still aren’t laughing can take their attitude down to Field Test Volunteer Services.

Don’t say we don’t bring you a
Merry Christmas

This is how you find us online!

Screening films as part of a music festival environment allows a wider demographic to watch films they may not otherwise get to see.”

“It’s an honor to be invited to the Clockenflap festival and to be part of this exciting time in Hong Kong indie cinema,” says Lumina writer/director Jennifer Thym. “We’re excited about expanding our audience worldwide.” With over 30,000 views online from word of mouth and grassroots marketing, Lumina’s viewership is growing strong, especially with the young female set.

VIZ Media Offers an Emotional Mix of the Real and Imaginary in the Debut of Taiyo Matsumoto’s “GoGo Monster”

from VIZ Media:

VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), one of the entertainment industry’s most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, has announced the upcoming release of Taiyo Matsumoto’s celebrated manga GoGo Monster on November 17th. GoGo Monster will be published by the company’s VIZ Signature imprint, rated “T” for Teens, and will carry an MSRP of $27.99 U.S. / $36.00 CAN.

Third grader Yuki Tachibana lives in two worlds. In one world, he is a loner ridiculed by his classmates and reprimanded by his teachers for telling stories of supernatural beings that only he can see. In the other world, the supernatural beings vie for power with malevolent spirits who bring chaos into the school, the students’ lives, and even nature itself.

“Taiyo Matsumoto’s clever stories and striking art have placed him among the best of a new generation of influential manga artists and we are privileged to present GoGo Monster to U.S. audiences,” says Gonzalo Ferreyra, Vice President Sales & Marketing, VIZ Media. “This story continues to show Matsumoto’s fascination with youth as he seamlessly blends themes of alienation with the paranormal. For anyone with an overactive imagination or has even just daydreamed during class, GoGo Monster offers an emotional tale that shows how what we see and imagine, whether real or imaginary, shapes our personality in profound ways.”

Taiyo Matsumoto made his manga debut in the Japanese magazine Comic Afternoon with the short story “Straight”. He went on to travel throughout France and became heavily influenced by the French comics he studied there including those created by pioneering European artists like Moebius and Enki Bilal. Matsumoto has become internationally acclaimed for stories that capture the essence of disaffected youth and adolescent alienation. His other notable works include Blue Spring, NO. 5 and Tekkonkinkreet: Black & White, which are all published in North America by VIZ Media. Tekkonkinkreet won a prestigious Will Eisner Award in 2008 and was also adapted for an animated feature film. Another Matsumoto manga story, Ping Pong, was turned into an award-winning live action film that is available from VIZ Pictures.

VIZ Pictures to Release “20th Century Boys 1: Beginning of the End”

20th Century Boys 1: Beginning of the End

from VIZ Pictures:

VIZ Pictures, an affiliate of VIZ Media, LLC that focuses on Japanese live-action film distribution, will release the science fiction feature 20th Century Boys 1: Beginning of the End on DVD on December 15th in the United States through its distributor, VIZ Media. 20th Century Boys will carry an MSRP of $24.92 US / $35.99 CAN.

The 20th Century Boys saga was directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi (who also directed the live-action film, Happily Ever After which is also available from VIZ Pictures) and is based on a popular manga series by Naoki Urasawa. It all begins in 1969 when a young boy named Kenji and his friends write “The Book of Prophecy” in which they write about a future where they fight against an evil organization trying to take over the world and bring about doomsday. Years later in 1997, a mysterious cult being led by a man only known as “Friend” emerges and begins to gain strong influence over society. A series of catastrophic events begin to occur mirroring the prophecies made up by the young Kenji and the greatest fear is the climax of “The Book” becoming a reality; December 31st, 2000, a terrifying giant virus-spreading robot will attack the entire city of Tokyo leading to the end of mankind. The only people who know about “The Book” are Kenji and his childhood friends. Who is “Friend”? Will Kenji and his friends be able to save mankind and live to see the 21st Century?

“20th Century Boys mesmerized audiences at its U.S. theatrical premiere in San Francisco this past summer and we’re very proud to announce its North American debut on DVD,” says Seiji Horibuchi, President and CEO of VIZ Pictures. “Naoki Urasawa’s multi-layered story of childhood mystical prophecy, government conspiracies and alien invasion is given a lavish production treatment and the film’s ending is a real cliffhanger that’s also very different from the original manga series. We look forward to introducing audiences to this exciting 3-part science fiction saga!”

VIZ Pictures has scheduled theatrical screenings of 20th Century Boys 1 in December at VIZ Cinema, the nation’s first theatre venue devoted exclusively to Japanese film operated by VIZ Pictures, Inc. On December 10th, starting at 7:30pm, VIZ Pictures has a special event to celebrate the DVD release of the first chapter of the trilogy.
