Sideshow Toys has announced another exclusive for the San Diego Comic Con. Available for purchase only to attendees, will be a 1/4 scale replica of Dr. Doom’s mask and gauntlets. Items will be limited to 1000 and priced at about $90. The mask and gauntlets are made of metal and base is made from Polystone.

SoundtrackNET has many samples of the forthcoming score to Superman Returns, by John Ottman but based on the work of John Williams in the 1978 Superman.

I heard the Star Wars Episode III score before seeing the movie about this time last year, and I’m really amazed music like this holds up so well on its own.

Of course it helps that I love William’s Superman theme.

…

Ohh!  And the release date has been pushed up 2 days!  June 28 is the new day according to the official site! Hope my local IMAX 3D screen can accomdate this advance.  I want to be there at midnight on the 27th.

State and Local police raided the show floor of Motor City Comic Con back on May 19, and now Newsarama has a closer look.

This has been a long time coming. I’ll freely admit that I stole a Cowboy Bebop dvd off a bootlegger at a con for a friend a few years ago. Is stealing from a theif bad? I kinda felt like Robin Hood.

Sony BMG has acquired the rights to release cult favorite Transformers The Movie on DVD.
Details are scarce but they do promise “never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, interactive games and collectible packaging” so one can only assume they’re going to try one-up the old Rhino release from 2001, which like the entire 84-87 series is currently out-of-print.

Fan demands have been high for a more in-depth DVD release, and hopefully this one fits the bill.

Full press release and promo image after the jump…

The Movie Blog has posted that Fox Head Tom Rothman has confirmed that there will indeed be an X4. He goes on to say how X3 was the end of the trilogy in a statement that makes only a little sense.

The premeire film for Super Mario Bros 3 (this was before we had E3 reports and internets), The Wizard, will be coming to DVD on August 29th. And just like the Wii, it’ll be in widescreen and 480p. Pretty swell, huh?
I’m going to resist the urge to make a powerglove joke here, but its strange how much Lucas’ control over Rad Racer mirrors Nintendo’s demo of ExciteTruck just 2 weeks ago.
Suggested retail price is $14.98, but you know you’ll pay less than that and it will be worth much more.
