[Editor’s note: Spoilers for “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” below.]
Wes Ball had two things going for him in directing “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”: His love of the original franchise, which he first watched on TV as a kid in the ’80s, and his admiration for “Avatar,” whose virtual production and performance capture prowess he leveraged with the help of Wētā FX.
“Something I’ve always wanted to do is go play in that ‘Avatar’ style and do it here, where there is no camera, there’s no lights, there’s no set really,” Ball told IndieWire. “And you have to create that in the computer with really talented artists. And I had a great time doing it.”
Ball got a taste of the tech working with Wētā on the shuttered “Mouse Guard” adaptation of David Petersen’s graphic novel (a casualty of the Disney/Fox merger). “That...

Apes rule in “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” kicking off director Wes Ball’s post-Caesar saga 300 years later. Wētā FX leveraged its tech from the previous “Apes” trilogy and the Oscar-winning “Avatar: The Way of Water” for greater photorealism in their performance capture animation and VFX. This is important because the apes are chattier, and there are more CG action set pieces (33 minutes are entirely digital — a franchise first). It adds up to possibly earning the franchise the VFX Oscar that it’s been denied.
After achieving great on-set facial capture in the rain and snow for director Matt Reeves’ “Dawn” and “War” films, Wētā embraced more expansive environments for “Kingdom” along with more active and expressive apes. In the film, simians have begun developing their own civilization in villages spread throughout the overgrown Pacific Northwest, with decrepit skyscrapers in the distance.

Comic illustrators Glenn Fabry, David Finch, John Romita Jr. and Philip Tan are among the bold-faced guests that will be hosted at 2024 edition of Lake Como Comic Arts Festival, the unique convention that focuses on comic artists.
Artists Bill Sienkiewicz, Jordi Bernet, Frank Cho, Juanjo Guarnido, Tula Lotay, Bill Morrison, David Petersen and Charles Vess, most of whom have previously attended, are also in the lineup for the three-day event that kicks off May 17 with a reception overlooking the lake and gardens of the historic Villa Erba, the festival’s home, in Cernobbio, Italy.
Entering its third year, the event is less a convention than it is a fair with an intimate approach to artist-guest interactions, all in the picturesque setting made famous by Hollywood jet-setters such as George and Amal Clooney and John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. Those who have attended have described it as a con for art collectors.

A little over ten weeks after Deadline broke the stunning news in April that Disney had canceled his epic $170 million animated film Mouse Guard two weeks before production began, director Wes Ball this week seemed to reconcile that his dream project was really over, at least for now.
He has been fighting over two months to find a new home for the film, but earlier this week he tweeted: “Yes sadly, its true. Our #mouseguard movie is dead. Seems it’s too big a risk. It’s a damn shame really. We had something special. To my hella talented cast/crew: I’m sorry I couldn’t push this one through. The past year with you all has been a blast. May the Guard prevail!”

Mouse Guard was an animated film being developed by Fox and director Wes Ball (The Maze Runner) before Disney bought the studio. Shortly after the deal closed, Mouse Guard was one of the first movies to be canceled.
The movie was going to be an adaptation of David Petersen's two-time Eisner-winning graphic novel series. Mouse Guard has been described as Game of Thrones for mice. “Set in a human-free, medieval world, the comic follows the so-called ‘Mouse Guard,’ a group of mice who have sworn to protect their brethren from predators and other threats.”
The film also has a great cast that included Andy Serkis, Idris Elba, Samson Kayo, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Serkis was going to play the villain Midnight, “a former Guard blacksmith who betrayed the order; Elba was set to take on the role of Celanawe, a former hero who was considered dead but is found...

One recent casualty of the Disney and Fox merger: director Wes Ball’s ambitious animated feature “Mouse Guard,” based on David Petersen’s Eisner-winning comic series. While Ball has been vocal about his desire to keep the film, described as “‘Game of Thrones’ with mice,” alive after Disney canceled the film’s production back in April, he took to Twitter last night to share that the film is officially dead.
Ball wrote of the cancellation, “Seems it’s too big a risk. It’s a damn shame really. We had something special. To my hella talented cast/crew: I’m sorry I couldn’t push this one through.

Last night kicked off a rush among the creators on the Twitter Report follow list to see "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," and the next-day reactions that have been showing up look positive. The retweets below also reveal who has ideas for a Harry Potter Ccg game.
It's been a big morning for Judge Dredd fans, too. A new look at the upcoming film showed up on the 2000 Ad forums, and Jock got an early look, while artist P.J. Holden approved. Find out why after the jump along with which comic book writer composed novels about centaurs when he was 11 years old.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter Report for November 19, 2010.
Harry Potter pt. 1: @mouseguard Harry Potter Ccg: has so much potential as a game, but I don't think people play CCGs much anymore. I'm playing Fluxx while in line for HP7

Do you want to know how stir up some animosity and snark in the comics community? Announce that Alan Moore's "Watchmen" is getting a sequel. Mark Waid, Ande Parks and Brandon Jerwa all had responses to the rumors, and there aren't too many creators out there who seem to be excited about the idea.
And speaking of franchises that went overboard on sequels, some pretty awesome Star Wars homage artwork has been showing up on "Mouse Guard" creator David Petersen's Twitter account, and I highly recommend giving that a look. The links are retweeted after the jump along with Jamal Igle's thoughts on Batman porn, Rob Liefeld's Oscar predictions and the one DC Comics book that Mike Choi wants to draw.

@Jamaligle BatmanXX: a Porn Parody? Warner bros is going to crush these guys like a bug.
