Charles Soule and Will Sliney’s “Shrouded College” Universe Expands With Launch of the Cold Witch

Posted on by

the-cold-witchThe #1 New York Times bestselling author Charles Soule (Eight Billion Genies, The Lucky Devils, Star Wars, Daredevil) re-teams with dynamo artist Will Sliney (The Rise of Kylo Ren, Spider-Man) for the upcoming action/horror series The Cold Witch. This five-issue miniseries will join Hell to Pay and The Bloody Dozen in the ‘Shrouded College’ shared universe of titles and launch this May from Image Comics. As with each ‘Shrouded College’ series so far, The Cold Witch #1 Cover C will include a special, individually numbered collector’s “Hell Coin.”

“Seeing the Shrouded College universe grow with each new story has been one of the great joys of my writing career. Building this horror-adventure saga from scratch alongside Will Sliney, finding ways for each new chapter to be amazing on its own but part of the larger whole… and seeing fans start to understand what we’re doing and come on board… it’s the best,” said Soule. “The Cold Witch is our third chapter after Hell to Pay and The Bloody Dozen, and this is where the pieces really start to come together for the larger story. It’s a revenge piece set on the frozen steppes with cool folklore horror elements, and I think it’s our best yet. Lean, mean, and paced like lightning, it’s both a great starting point if this is your first Shrouded College story and a fantastic return to the universe if you’re already a fan.”

Cannes Prize-Winner “Holy Cow” Coming-of-Age Drama Opens at Film Forum

Posted on by

holy-cowFilm Forum has set the US theatrical premiere of Louise Courvoisier’s “Holy Cow” on Friday, March 28.

HOLY COW had its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section, where it was awarded the festival’s Youth Prize.

It will be featured in the upcoming Rendez-Vous with French Cinema festival, screening at Walter Reade Theater on Saturday, March 8. A limited number of press tickets are available to this screening.

The film’s synopsis says: Reveling in his youth in the gorgeous rural Jura region of Eastern France, Totone has few worries and is content to party with his friends as the family dairy business hums along. But when calamity strikes, the under-disciplined 18-year-old finds himself in charge of the farm and his 7-year-old sister. A sun-drenched coming-of-age story cast with non-professionals from Jura (filmmaker Courvoisier’s home), HOLY COW follows Totone’s determination to win a local Comté cheesemaking competition (cash prize: €30,000), while he romantically pursues a competing farmer — whose bullying brothers are none-too-pleased — and clumsily steps up to adult responsibilities.

U.S. Theatrical Release of the Puerto Rican Sundance Film “The Fishbowl”

Posted on by

thefishbowlMonument Releasing has announced the North American theatrical release for the acclaimed Puerto Rican ecofeminist drama The Fishbowl (La pecera), the striking feature debut by interdisciplinary artist Glorimar Marrero Sánchez. The film, which made history as the first Puerto Rican-produced feature to premiere at Sundance, is set to debut in U.S. theaters in March 2025, coinciding with Puerto Rican Emancipation Day on March 21. A streaming release will follow on May 21, 2025.

Set on the island of Vieques—a U.S. military testing ground for toxic munitions like napalm, depleted uranium, and Agent Orange—The Fishbowl tells the story of Noelia (Isel Rodríguez in an elegant performance), a 40-year-old artist grappling with terminal cancer. Determined to use her remaining time resisting the ecological and social consequences of U.S. colonialism, Noelia’s journey unfolds as both a personal and collective act of resilience.

After discovering her cancer has returned and metastasized, Noelia retreats to her home in Vieques, where she reconnects with her mother and her community. Choosing to keep her illness a secret in the absence of local medical care, she devotes herself to protesting the enduring environmental devastation caused by military activity. As a hurricane looms and her health deteriorates, she rekindles a past romance and faces a profound decision: to leave and seek treatment or to remain with her people and her cause.

Featuring a predominantly female cast and crew, The Fishbowl is both a compelling character study and a poignant commentary on environmental racism, colonialism, and resilience. Marrero Sánchez emerges as a vital voice in Puerto Rican cinema, creating a film that resonates far beyond its setting.

“Nights” Animated TV Series In Development From Comic Book Creators and Titmouse Animation

Posted on by

nights-comics-tv-seriesNights, the critically acclaimed comic book series written by Wyatt Kennedy (Bolero) and illustrated by Luigi Formisano, is being developed into an animated television series by Titmouse, the award-winning animation studio known for pushing creative boundaries with hit projects like Big Mouth and The Legend of Vox Machina. Published by Image Comics, Nights is a supernatural coming-of-age story centered around a group of friends navigating life, relationships, and mysterious paranormal events. The adaptation will be produced in collaboration with Kennedy and Formisano and bring their unique vision to life through Titmouse’s renowned animation style and expertise.

“Nights isn’t the type of comic you read and say ‘oh neat, cool art, good story’ and then put back on the shelf with all the other comics that have cool art and good stories. Nights is a generational experience in the making,” said Alexei Bochenek, Creative Director at Titmouse. “Reading it reminds me of when I used to stay up late watching FLCL at midnight on Toonami, having my mind blown not just by how dynamic it was, but by how seen it made me feel, a mirror to my whole self, good and bad, dreams and fears. If you know you know. I want to bring that feeling back to the animation fans like me who have been chasing it ever since, and introduce a whole new audience to the experience of discovering themselves through a new show that they feel seen by and become huge champions of, too. That’s what Nights is.”

Kennedy added: “Despite so many live-action comic translations, I never envisioned Nights being adapted any other way than as an animated series. Luigi’s and my love of animation is baked into the very fiber of the book, and having the legendary, incredibly talented team at Titmouse help bring it to life is mind-blowing. From our earliest conversations, Alexei and his team immediately understood the soul of our strange little story, and their passionate collaborative spirit leaves me confident that we’re crafting something that fans of the book and newcomers alike will love.”
