Sting Channels Constantine for HELLBLAZER 30th Anniversary Announcement

Sting is sending out an S.O.S. to all of John Constantine's fans.

DC Comics/VERTIGO has posted a short video from one Gordon Sumner, better known as the legendary musician Sting, announcing that he's written the foreword to the upcoming John Constantine, Hellblazer: 30th Anniversary Celebration commemorative collection.  The foreward will feature Sting's "take on the perspective of the Golden Boy, Constantine’s alternate-universe twin, touching on his relationship with the occult detective over the years."

According to the statement from DC, Sting recorded the video while preparing for his upcoming 44/876 tour with Shaggy.  The musician’s inclusion in the Hellblazer Celebration hardcover is a nod to Sting inspiring John Constantine's look.  The character first appeared in The Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 in 1985 and was created by Alan Moore, Steve Bissette and John Totleben.  Based physically on Sting, Constantine proved popular enough in 1988 to be spun off into his own VERTIGO series Hellblazer, which ran for an impressive 300 issues.  The replacement series Constantine immediately followed, after Constantine was brought back to the relaunched DC Universe as part of "The New 52" to lead the supernatural team Justice League Dark.  In DC's "Rebirth" era, Constantine currently appears in his latest monthly series, The Hellblazer, which will end with its twenty-fourth issue.

In the 23-second video (which you can view HERE), Sting dons Constantine's signature trenchcoat and makes the following announcement:  "Hi, my name is Sting.  I'm here to celebrate the John Constantine, Hellblazer 30th anniversary.  John and I have a long history, so I've written a forward to the edition, which goes into more detail about our relationship.  And so, I wish him well -- He's done very well for himself."

The commemorative collection will explore the complete history of the series with four one-page essays written by author Rich Handley.  It will also include a comprehensive timeline of Constantine’s life and three one-page stories featured in Hellblazer issues #1, 2 and 4. Memorable stories from writers Alan Moore, Jamie Delano, Neil Gaiman, Garth Ennis, Paul Jenkins, Brian Azzarello, and others reflect the best of the long-lasting series, including Constantine's first appearance in The Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 and Hellblazer issues #11, 27, 41, 63, 120, 146, 229 and 240.

The John Constantine, Hellblazer: 30th Anniversary Celebration commemorative collection will be available for purchased on October 30, 2018.

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY Changes Showrunners Again as Alex Kurtzman Takes Over

Another season of Discovery, another showrunner change.

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the CBS All Access series Star Trek: Discovery has made a change of showrunners, with Season One showrunners Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts leaving and co-creator and executive producer Alex Kurtzman taking over for Season Two.  This will be the second change of showrunners for the series, after co-creator Bryan Fuller exited in October 2016 just before filming of Season One began.

Producers CBS Television Studios said in a statement, "We’ve made some producer changes at Star Trek: Discovery.  The series continues under the creative vision and leadership of executive producer and co-creator Alex Kurtzman.  Discovery remains on course for season two in 2019 with new and continuing stories that build on its successful premiere season."

According to the article, "the decision to oust Berg and Harberts was based not on the creative but instead for leadership and operational issues.  Production on Discovery's first five episodes of season two are near completion, with Kurtzman likely taking over for episode six and beyond. Berg and Harberts, who were longtime collaborators with original showrunner Fuller, will likely still be credited on the episodes they oversaw.  Sources say the budget for the season two premiere ballooned, with the overages expected to come out of subsequent episodes from Discovery's sophomore run."

In addition, the article's sources claim "Berg and Harberts became increasingly abusive to the Discovery writing staff, with Harberts said to have leaned across the writers room table while shouting an expletive at a member of the show's staff.  Multiple writers are said to have been uncomfortable working on the series and had threatened to file a complaint with human resources or quit the series altogether before informing Kurtzman of the issues surrounding Berg and Harberts.  After hearing rumors of HR complaints, Harberts is said to have threatened the staff to keep concerns with the production an internal matter."

As if this wasn't enough Discovery drama, THR also states that Akiva Goldsman will not be returning as executive producer for Season Two.  Goldsman directed the Season One finale, "Will You Take My Hand?", but is "said to have had a management style and personality that clashed with the writing staff.  It's unclear if Goldsman will continue to receive an exec producer credit on season two."

Star Trek: Discovery is expected to return to CBS All Access for Season Two sometime in 2019.

THE GIFTED Casts Grace Byers as The Hellfire Club's Reeva Payge

The Hellfire Club's Inner Circle is growing.

Marvel has announced that the Fox series The Gifted, based on Marvel Comics' X-Men properties, has cast Grace Byers as Reeva Payge, a mutant who becomes the Black Queen of The Hellfire Club's Inner Circle.

According to the announcement, Reeva is described as "a smart, charming, authoritative, elegant, beautiful woman who is ruthless in her efforts to fight for her people.  She leads an elite band of followers and has a soft spot for her new recruits, but is still capable of extreme violence in defense of her vision."

In addition, Reeva "will be teaming up with Polaris (Emma Dumont), Andy Strucker (Percy Hynes White) and the Frost sisters (Skyler Samuels) in the Inner Circle, following the huge turn of events that occurred at the end of Season 1."

Byers, 33, is best known as Anika Calhoun on the Fox music industry drama Empire.  She also appeared as Kate in the 2018 movie Bent.

Created in 1994 by Ian Edginton and Gene Ha, Reeva Payge first appeared in X-Men (vol.2) Annual #3 as a mutant with the ability to generate a high note from her vocal cords that directly affects the brain's neurochemistry, painfully distorting perceptions of reality, causing them to experience dizziness and hallucinations.  The note is beyond a normal human's ability to detect sound.

When Shinobi Shaw, son of Hellfire Club founding member Sebastian Shaw, took over the New York chapter of The Hellfire Club, he formed his own Inner Circle after Archangel and Sunspot declined.  Reeva was designated as the Inner Circle's Black Queen, along with Shaw as Black King, Benazir Kaur as White Queen, and Benedict Kine as White King.

This Inner Circle was presented to Ororo Monroe, better known as Storm, when Shinobi Shaw attempted to recruit her as well.  When Storm tried to resist Shaw, she was drugged and kidnapped.  The X-Men arrived as Shaw attempted to inject her with more drugs, and fought Reeva and the new Hellfire Club until Storm cornered Shaw.  She asked him if he was willing to die for his beliefs, but he wasn't and let her leave.  Shinobi Shaw's actions as Black King were limited to failed attempts at extending his influence and monitoring the London branch of the Club, leading to Sebastian Shaw retaking control.

The Gifted is expected to return to Fox for Season 2 sometime in Fall 2018.

PREACHER Season 3 Trailer Teases Jesse's Gran'ma & Tulip's Resurrection

Welcome home, Jesse.

AMC has released the first teaser trailer for the third season of Preacher, based on the DC Comics/VERTIGO series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.  The one-minute trailer features the Season 3 Big Bad, Gran’ma Marie L’Angelle (Betty Buckley) and also spoils the resurrection of Tulip O'Hare (Ruth Negga), who was killed at the end of Season 2 but obviously gets better.

The trailer begins with Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) and Irish vampire Proinsias Cassidy (Joseph Guilgun) abruptly showing up with Tulip's dead body, hoping that Gran'ma will bring her back from the dead.  "Welcome home, Jesse," says Gran'ma.

"Please," begs Jesse, left with no alternative.  "Bring her back.  I'll do anything."

"Anything?" asks Gran'ma.

We see some glimpses of Jesse reuniting with Jody (Jeremy Childs) as he skins an animal, Cassidy sitting in a kitchen with T.C. (Colin Cunningham) and inhaling something from an oxygen mask, a wanted poster of Tulip, Jody and T.C., and Jesse and Gran'ma at Tulip's grave.

"Soon as I get my power back from Starr, we kill 'em all," says Jesse to someone.  "The Grail, Gran'ma..."

Next, we see Cassidy in bed, reading a comic book while wearing just a silky nightshirt and underwear.  "I'm a bloody vampire at a Voodoo Disneyland, I should be their main attraction."

We then see Jody asking the resurrected Tulip, "What was it like?"

"Why does everybody keep askin' me that?" she groans.

"You died and you came back.  What else did they ask about?"

Some more fleeting glimpses, this time of Jonny Coyne as Allfather D'Aronique and Adam Crosadell as Eccarius, a 350-year-old vampire, followed by the Saint of Killers (Graham McTavish) giving Arseface (Ian Colletti) the business.

If you'd like to view the new teaser trailer, you can check it out below thanks to the official AMC account on YouTube....




Preacher returns to AMC for Season 3 on Sunday, June 24th.

Andrew Lincoln to Leave THE WALKING DEAD in Season 9

Is it finally time for The Walking Dead to die?

Collider shocked fans of AMC's zombie apocalypse drama The Walking Dead earlier today by revealing that star Andrew Lincoln, who has played the show's protagonist Rick Grimes since its inception, will be leaving six episodes into Season 9.

Rick's replacement as the group's leader?  None other than everyone's favorite bad boy with a crossbow, Daryl Dixon.  The article states that "AMC has offered substantial compensation to long-running series star Norman Reedus to not only stay on board, but to take over the show’s leading role."

As a zombie drama, the show regularly has characters replaced with new ones, typically by killing them off in some shocking way, so change isn't unheard of.  However, following the recent death of Chandler Riggs' character Carl Grimes, and Lennie James' character Morgan Jones moving over to the spinoff series Fear the Walking Dead, fans of TWD may be reluctant to accept the loss of another longtime favorite.

And if that wasn't enough transition for the show, the upcoming exit of Lauren Cohan as Maggie Rhee probably won't make things any easier.  After a public stand for a better contract to appear in Season 9, Cohan will only appear in six episodes as well after her new series Whiskey Cavalier was picked up by ABC.

As a result, only Daryl and Melissa McBride's character Carol Peletier will be the only remaining characters from The Walking Dead's first season.

The Walking Dead is expected to return to AMC for Season 9 sometime in October 2018.
