NY Comic-Con ’09: The Bruce Willis Movie

For about half the NY Comic-Con Rich Koslowski and I hung out at the Top Shelf booth. Top Shelf is a respected comic book publisher, and one that has published several of Rich’s own books, including THE KING and the award-winning THREE FINGERS. The Top Shelf guys were nice enough to let me hang out back there, and knowing that I’m a brother-in-arms with FINDERS KEEPERS, also helped me do a little bit of networking as the industry folks came by.

Top Shelf is a respected comic book publisher, and one that has published several of Rich’s own books, including THE KING and the award-winning THREE FINGERS. The Top Shelf guys were nice enough to let me hang out back there, and knowing that I’m a brother-in-arms with FINDERS KEEPERS, also helped me do a little bit of networking as the industry folks came by.

One of the Top Shelf creators–one you might start hearing about–is Rob Venditti, who has his own sci-fi comic book called THE SURROGATES. Well, Rob is one of the guys who the gods smiled upon, because The Surrogates is going to be a $100 million movie with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, coming out in September. THE SURROGATES is Rob’s first comic-book project, so indeed the rest of us are thrilled for Rob … and we kinda hate his guts! (With love, Rob).

So I got to hang out with Rob a bit, and for a guy with a movie deal, he’s as humble as can be. Just a nice guy who doesn’t seem to take any of this for granted.

I also stopped by to see Jason Younbluth, the creative crackpot (again, with love), who did the FINDERS KEEPERS animated trailer, and chatted with a Hollywood.com reporter about the trailer–and gave her one to take away–so maybe that’s got some legs on it. Who knows?

Rich and I also had a pretty awesome dinner on Saturday night, but I’ll cover that in the next blog. My throat is still hoarse from the weekend, and I’m still meditating on a way to take some of those Surrogate/Bruce Willis molecules and transform them into a FINDERS KEEPERS movie!
