Rognnntudju... Les
gardiens du temple de Franquin risquent une nouvelle fois de
s’étrangler, après avoir criés haro sur le reprise par
Morvan et Munuera de Spirou, dont le
cinquantième tome en collaboration avec Yann sort prochainement.
Voilà que Gaston Lagaffe, le personnage emblématique
d’André Franquin devient le héros d’un dessin animé.
Virus BD et Catsuka dévoilent le très convaincant pilote de cette
série – composée de 78 épisodes de 7 minutes en cours de
réalisation –, visible sur le site de la société de
production porteuse du projet, Normaal. Déjà responsable de l’adaptation de la
bande dessinée Chico et Mandarine de Jacques
Azam publié chez Milan et rebaptisée depuis Mandarine and
Cow, l’équipe promet de porter à l’écran
l’Å“uvre de l’auteur des Idées Noires
à partir même des dessins du maître.
Réalisée par Alexis Lavillat sous l’expertise de
Fred Jannin - auteur de Que du bonheur parrainé
en son temps par Franquin dans le journal de Spirou -, la série sera prochainement
diffusée sur France 3. Quant à la voix de Gaston, elle sera incarnée par le
chanteur Thomas Fersen, un artiste qui avait déjà fait une
incursion dans le monde de bande dessinée en participant en début
d’année au concert de dessin du festival d’Angoulême en compagnie
Joann Sfar et dont le dessinateur du Chat du rabbin
avait réalisé en animation le clip Hyacinthe.

Lundi 6 octobre à 20h50 était diffusée sur la chaîne cryptée la
première partie de la mini-série XIII. Réalisée par
Duane Clark, un metteur en scène habitué des séries que ce
soit pour les différentes versions des Experts ou
Medium, cette adaptation de l’Å“uvre de Van
Hamme et Vance a attiré plus d’1million
d’abonnés et devient le nouveau record de la chaîne pour une production
originale. La seconde partie se dévoilera lundi 13 octobre et connaître une
exposition en clair sur M6 en 2009. Ce beau succès devrait déboucher sur la mise en
chantier d’une suite, une saison de 13 épisodes est déjà
évoquée.

Alors que le second film tiré de l’univers de Mignola,
Hellboy, s’apprête à débarquer sur les
écrans français à la fin du mois d’octobre, que Tomer
Sisley révise ses vannes pour la tournée promo du film Largo
Winch attendu en décembre et que les Watchmen
réalisés par Zack Snyder continuent d’alimenter en rumeurs
toutes les rédactions, d’autres longs métrages tirés de bandes
dessinées aiguisent la curiosité et se dévoilent sur la toile.
C’est le cas de Dragon Ball, certainement l’adaptation la
plus improbable depuis celle du jeu vidéo Street Fighter, qui
depuis quelques jours voit une bande-annonce non officielle tourner via le net. Le site dbthemovie propose
ainsi de visionner le premier trailer du film destiné à l’origine à
démarcher les fabricants de produits dérivés et ne bénéficiant
pas de tous les effets spéciaux prévus comme le souligne la Fox.
Réalisé par James Wong, un des scénaristes de
X-Files et déjà metteur en scène de
Destination Finale et The One,
l’adaptation accueille dans son casting Justin Chatwin, vu dans les
séries Smalville ou Weeds, pour
incarner Sangoku et Chow Yun-Fat dans le rôle de
Tortue Géniale. L’attelage paraît si
surréaliste et tordu qu’au final le long métrage ne pourra être
qu’une bonne surprise lors de sa sortie programmée en avril 2009 en hexagone.
Nettement plus convaincante, la bande-annonce du Spirit vient à
point nommé pour annoncer le changement de date de sortie du premier film en solo de
Frank Miller. Le long métrage tiré de l’Å“uvre
de Will Eisner inondera ainsi les salles de cinéma outre-Atlantique le 25
décembre et le 31 pour la France… Si vous n’aviez encore rien prévu
pour la nuit de la Saint Sylvestre, c’est maintenant fait !

Nous pensions que la licence Alexandra Ledermann était
réservée au monde vidéoludique, gâté tous les ans par un nouvel
opus de la meilleure amie des chevaux. Cette fois la cavalière a franchi le Rubicon et
compte bien s’installer au pays du 9e art. Les éditions Jungle se
chargeront du portage, avec un premier tome attendu en novembre prochain. D’habitude on
achève les chevaux, cette fois ça sera les lecteurs.

Y a pas à
dire, Little Odyssée est un bouquin original. Pour son dessin
noir et blanc d’abord, qui semble entièrement fait au crayon gras. Pour son
histoire, ensuite, où chaque individu porte le nom d’un personnage antique et
où de nombreuses scènes de dialogue semblent être jouées par des
animaux. Sans doute pour ponctuer poèmes et histoires de cÅ“ur. Rassurez-vous,
la collection KSTR ne s’est pas transformée en collection rose. Derrière ce
vernis amoureux se cache une histoire de drogue, au cÅ“ur d’une cité de
banlieue. Et à trop vouloir jouer avec le deal, on finit par se cramer, un peu comme cet
idiot d’Icare. Sauf que là, le Soleil se transforme en flics.
En deux mots : Divine idylle
De Fred Bernard, aux éditions KSTR - 130 pages - 15 €

Techdirt -

We've discussed in the past how various countries have been putting in place a ridiculous a
href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20080714/1723141676.shtml"resale right/a for artists, that allow
them to collect a royalty every time their artwork is sold. In other words, this removes the
important right of first sale, that says when someone buys a piece of artwork, they actually own
it. Instead, these "resale rights" let various artists collect a "royalty" every time the art is
resold. That would be like saying you need to pay Honda a royalty after you sold your used car.
Reader a href="http://www.ubercharged.net"madlep/a points out that Australia has now gone down the
same road and a
href="http://www.theage.com.au/national/artists-to-get-5-royalty-for-resold-work-20081003-4tkb.html"
target="_new"instituted a 5% fee on any resold artwork/a for the artist. br /br / The Arts Minister
who supported this is apparently Peter Garrett, who some of you may recognize as the lead singer of
the popular rock band iMidnight Oil/i (who I saw in concert many, many years ago). He claims that:
"It's a really, really good day for Australia's artists," but that betrays a rather troubling lack
of understanding of basic economics. Adding this resale right, actually serves to significantly
depress the market for these artists that he's supposedly trying to protect. Because any buyer now
knows that there's an additional tax on any resale, meaning that they're less willing to purchase
in the first place (or only interested in purchasing for a lower price). It also makes them a lot
less willing to sell the piece, because the selling price now needs to be even higher. On top of
this, it will encourage more sales to be to foreign countries, where this "right" does not apply.
br /br / Garrett is also confused in saying: "Why should artists not have had the opportunity for
some copyright protection of their work, or equivalent rights that writers, for example, have?"
There's a very easy answer to that. Copyright protection is designed to deal with the issues of
icopies/i, not the original works. When it comes to these artists, they're selling original works.
And, when I put my old Midnight Oil tapes and CDs up for sale, I'm certainly hoping that Garrett
doesn't expect to get paid again for them. That would just be silly. He already received the money
when I purchased them originally -- just as these artists received their money when their artwork
was purchased. br /br / a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20081006/0120562464.shtml"Permalink/a

Cinematical -

I have to warn you, this week's column is probably going to strike you as mawkish and personal -
but I thought I'd give the topic a spin and see how it went. Next week, we'll talk about our hopes
and dreams of a Daredevil reboot, but today's column is the result of a long vacation,
lack of a social life, and downloading the Netflix player.
First off, I must confess - I'm dating someone. Clint Eastwood circa 1970, to be exact. Judge our
DVD romance all you will, decry that we break the time-space continuum, but we're very happy
together. We just spent a delightful weekend via The Beguiled and Two Mules for Sister
Sarah. The sun came up and we were still together. What can I say? He treats me like a lady,
despite the fact that he only ever sees me sans make-up and in pajamas.
The sad thing is, I'm only half-kidding -- and yes, I will look back on this period of my life
(probably via therapy or alcoholism) and wonder why Eastwood was the most dependable man in it. But
our affair got me thinking overmuch about today's men, both in and outside of Hollywood. And it
didn't help that in the early days of my relationship with Eastwood, we lost the wonderful Paul
Newman. I wrote in Cinematical's tribute to him that the world could use more men like
Newman - and it is so very true. Where are the men like Newman, Eastwood, Robert Redford, James
Garner and Gregory Peck? The men who are rugged, larger than life, and who exude honesty and
decency even when acting in so-so films? Who exude it in real life? What the heck happened to the
world since these guys arrived on the scene?

/ div align="left"The European Union already initiated a Battery Directive in 2006 that aimed to
make it easier to dispose of and recycle old batteries, but it looks like it's now taking things
one big step further with its "New Battery Directive," which proposes that batteries in all
electronic devices should be able to be "readily removed" for replacement or disposal. New
Electronics' Gary Nevison further adds that "the requirement is clearly intended to ensure that
users can remove batteries by opening a cover by hand or after removal of one or two screws," which
would obviously pose a bit of a problem for the iPhone, not to mention every iPod and even a few
non-Apple devices. Then again, this wouldn't be the first time that Apple has a

What the heck is
going on here? An artist had hard time getting back in to the USA for a sketch of a crocheted
SUV she was working on... For copyright infringement?
Keene Valley resident Jerilea Zempel was detained at the U.S. border this summer because she
had a drawing of a sport-utility vehicle in her sketchbook.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers told Zempel they suspected her of copyright
infringement.
She was released after more than an hour in custody at the Houlton, Maine, port of entry from New
Brunswick, Canada.
Her release came only after she persuaded border guards she was an artist doing a project that
involved a crocheted SUV as a statement against America's dependence on oil and love for big
vehicles.
"After going through my (laptop) computer, digital camera, cell phone, business cards, suitcase,
reading materials, boxes of yarn and crochet tools, she returned with my sketchbook.
Zempel had drawn an SUV covered by a cozy, with its mirrors marked as "ears."
"My sketchbook puzzled her," Zempel said. "It was a cartoon sketch. They couldn't understand what
I was doing. She said, ÂÂJust what were you doing in Canada? We think you're
engaged in some kind of copyright infringement."

PMP Today -

The Samsung P2 with DMB Tuner, also known as PB2, will have a BMW
edition will be launched soon. As you can see from the photo, the tie-in is specific to BMW
motorcycles, which is pretty cool and also pretty dangerous, ie. riding on a motorcycle while
listening to your PMP or even viewing DMB TV stations. I honestly prefer the
LG FM37 Volkswagen Beetle edition as a promotional strategy. No pricing yet but I’m not
sure they should put a premium on a BMW-themed wallpaper.
