Ok, here it is:

Original Halloween costume idea: Tintin the reporter

One my favorite graphic novels as a kid was Tintin.

Maybe of you might not know Tintin, but in Europe and especially in French speaking countries Tintin is pretty big. Hergé, a Belgium writer, was the creator of Tintin and I am certain that he would really excited to know that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are working on a Tintin movie!

There were 100s of novels I can remember. I know my mom kept the all collection, I should count how many there were. Making one movie is good, but if they find success on the first attempt, then they should make a bunch of movies!

Super Hero movie collector costumes

Courtesy of MTV, here is the most recent media from the upcoming Marvel movies.

Right, that’s not much. You could have expected some on set exclusive spy photos or costume drawings from the designers, nope not yet. I am working on it though and i’ll report as i find any.

The next few years are going to be really exciting not only for Hollywood and the movie aficionados out there, but for the Halloween costume industry as well. From these movies will come out new, redesigned costumes as well as something that has been becoming a lot more popular the past few years, high quality costumes like the Heritage collection costumes.

Out of shelves already…

Interesting. For a couple of days now, we heard and read several reports that Indiana Jones and The Joker costumes are already running out at stores…and we’re only August 25th, exactly 2 months before the last rush of online Halloween costume purchases!

You’ve probably seen the Joker costume idea rank #1 on CostumZee for weeks now, and that was expected. Indiana Jones costumes ranked early this year in June as #1, but it couldn’t fight The Dark knight and The Joker costumes.

No Harry Potter movie this year :(

Sad news for all the Harry Potter fans out there. The new Harry Potter movie “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” which was ready for theaters Nov. 21. has suddenly been delayed by the studio for an opening next year on July 17th. What are the reasons behind these? Well several. You can blame it on the Hollywood writers’ strike last Winter, but there is actually more to this decision.

It seems apparent that movies that come out during the Summer break sales records (last summer’s “Order of the Phoenix” is the second-highest grossing Potter film) as Batman The Dark Knight has proven this year.

Venom Spinoff: expect the costume!

venom
HOT BREAKING NEWS: I was just reading from different sources that Sony decided to move on with a Spider Man movie spinoff for the Venom character. YEAH!

There is no production date, cast or story set yet, but it’s almost certain a Venom movie will come out in the next 2-3 years, probably before Spider Man 4 which is coming out in 2011.

And the other great news is that it also means that we should finally getting a realistic looking Venom costume! I think we’re all looking forward to it.

The Joker costume alternatives

the joker makeup
If you haven’t watched Batman the Dark Knight, then you might not really understand what I am ready to write below… BUT, you need to go see this movie, because it will become easily a top 10 movie of all times and you don’t want to be the one who says “nope, never seen it…” i’ll save you some embarrassment! Anyway, I did get the chance to go watch Batman the Dark Knight at an IMAX movie theater, and it was spectacular.

There has been a lot of buzz around Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker and I was expecting to be impressed. Well, I got way more than that. Heath Ledger as The Joker was unreal, he mastered the character and his performance has blown me away like Jack Nicholson in The Shinning.

Love Transformers costumes, what about shoes?

transformers 2
Transformers costumes (or Autobots should i rather say) are really hot since last year and with the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen coming in 2009, those Bumblebee and Optimus Prime costumes (maybe new ones, they’ll probably introduce new autobots…) should be extremely popular among children.

Well today, i came across a new kind of Transformers accessory: the shoes! Sold by Gadget4All, these are called “4D Transformable Shoes”.

Underworld 3 Costumes (Rise of the Lycans)

underworld 3
Ok, this is exciting. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is currently under production, taping in New Zealand from what I have read online. The 3rd episode of Underworld seems pretty cool:

“The prequel story traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as Death Dealers and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian (Sheen) emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja (Mitra), in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.” from IMDb.

Since Kate Beckinsale costs quite a bit to get on any movie set, i guess they just dropped her off this new sequel. Bummer.
