Film trailers of 08 – comics culture on top so far
Looking at Apple’s “most popular” trailers as of Jan. 15 reveals a lot of buzz around based-on-comics films in the works for 2008.
#1. Wanted - Based on the Mark Millar comic-book miniseries for Top Cow.
#2. The Dark Knight - Introducing Heath Ledger as the Joker.
#3. Hellboy: The Golden Army – Guillermo del Toro directs this sequel starring Mike Mignola’s blue-collar supernatural hero.
(And at #5, the Wachowski Brothers’ Speed Racer, based on the classic anime. And this trailer is seriously growing on me.)
