Here’s a little more comic book goodness for you courtesy of G4’s Fresh Ink.  From the floor of the recent Wondercon here’s the always enjoyable Blair Butler and her interview with comic writer/artist/creator Brian Wood discussing his recent projects, his work on Grand Theft Auto, and what it’s like at a convention.

In honor of Booster Gold getting his own series again, and travelling back in time to save the life of his best bud Ted Kord (AKA the Blue Beetle) here’s a fun little PSA from Blinky Productions starring the pair in an attempt to stop children from smoking.  Great stuff!

Marcel Marceau, the famous French Mime died this past Saturday evening surrounded by friends and family.  For half a century Marceau performed and became the best known mime of his era in his guise of Bip the Clown which was in part modeled after the silent films of Charlie Chaplin.  Learn more about the man and his career on his Wikipedia page.

Here’s an interesting little tidbit for you aspiring screenwriters.  20th Century Fox has made a deal with a co-oop of writers including Ted Elliot, Terry Rossio, John August, and Stuart Beattie (among others) where the writers will receive $300,00 upfront for a script (minimum) PLUS offering them 2.5% of the gross if the film makes it through production and is released.  That’s right folks, Fox is paying the guys responsible for Charle’s Angels: Full Throttle and PotC: Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End up the whazoo!  I don’t know about you, but I’m dusting off my old screenplay and faxing it off to Fox as we speak!
