VIEWS FROM THE ACORN UNIVERSE, 7/14/08

This week, Hellboy, Genre Writing, Worried, Judas Kiss.


HELLBOY, MEET BATMAN

According to the Associated Press, Hellboy II: The Golden Army took in about $35.9 million during its first weekend, making it the top movie in a genre-heavy box office. I haven’t seen it yet, but I love the original! Advance reviews for The Dark Knight, however, make it sound like the ultimate summer movie for 2008.


GENRE WRITING

I just read about a new project for writers of gay-themed scifi, fantasy, and horror, Collective Fallout Magazine. That blog includes details and submission guidelines.


WORRIED

I’m currently writing Worried: A Science Fiction Adventure, a stand-alone sequel to my gay-themed novel Degranon: A Science Fiction Adventure. A rough draft of Worried Chapter 1 appears at WEbook.


JUDAS KISS

Brent Corrigan has joined the cast of Judas Kiss, an upcoming gay-themed film, directed by his In The Closet co-star J. T. Tepnapa. The site includes production notes, as well as an on-line comic based on the film.



Duane Simolke co-wrote The Acorn Gathering and The Return of Innocence: A Fantasy Adventure.
