Adam Hamdy (second from left) is a 37-year-old filmmaker who gave up a lucrative business career to concentrate on his life-long passion of working within the comic book world, publishing his first work (entitled The Hunter) in 2007. Last year he made a move into directing with Pulp – a fun crime caper which revolves [...]
It’s interesting that I’m writing this panel up for HeyUGuys as it seems that the story of Tintin is much better known in Europe. North America is pretty much in the dark when it comes to these tales. However, it helps the cause when you have a movie being made by the likes of Steven [...]
On the 7th of May, one of the greatest days for fans of comic books, manga and graphic novels will arrive, for across the world it is Free Comic Book Day!

Spike TV will be taping and celebrating all things comic, horror, fantasy and Sci-Fi related as the genre awards ceremony get’s ready for its taping on October 16th and ultimate premiere [...]
We here at HeyUGuys are big fans of Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, so when we were given the chance to use the costume actually worn by Aaron Johnson in the film we decided we had to make something special. A few weeks ago we took to the streets of London, with our Editor Dave Sztypuljak gamely [...]
To celebrate the release of Kick-Ass, out to own on Blu-ray & DVD from September 6th, we have teamed up with Universal to offer you the chance to win a copy of Matthew Vaughn’s amazing film on Blu-ray. The film was a hit with HeyUGuys, you can read our review here, and we have ten [...]
Last week our intrepid editor Dave went to Bourne Wood in deepest darkest Surrey to get a look at the remnants of the Captain America set, and days later we had an exclusive report from an extra on set describing what director Joe Johnston shot while they were there. Now it seems the Captain America [...]
Last week it was revealed that Michael Goldenberg (who adapted Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) had been hired to pen a sequel to the forthcoming Green Lantern movie. When i say forthcoming, of course, i mean not until 2011, meaning the follow-up has begun development almost a year before the initial film’s [...]
It was only a matter of time before someone hunted down the set of Captain America and snapped a few shots of the upcoming Marvel movie. A blog called The Media Club is responsible for our look at the US army camp (medical tent), a tank, and a very patriotic stage. The set looks realistic and very [...]
One of the big hits at Comic Con this year that was actually comic book related was the unveiling of LMS, or Last Man Standing. Dan LuVisi’s graphic novel has been in development for the past two and a half years and once it was available for sale it had sold out in two hours. You [...]
Today we learnt that the rumoured film adaptation of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s Nemesis is to be directed by Tony Scott. The news was first leaked out by Bleeding Cool and then confirmed by Deadline. Following the success of the film version of Millar’s Kick-Ass, a film of Nemesis seemed inevitable but things appear [...]
With the DVD of Kick-Ass hitting the streets across the pond tomorrow The New York Post have given us a peek inside the extra features with a look at the crimson caped crusader – Red Mist. Christopher Mintz-Plasse did a great job in the film as the wayward rich kid who takes up the fight [...]
Needing little in the way of an introduction, and with an all-star cast including Aaron Johnson, Nicolas Cage (Gone In 60 Seconds, Face/Off), Mark Strong (Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, Role Models), KICK-ASS is a relentlessly funny, jaw dropping action film, available to own on Blu-ray and DVD on 6 September. Packed [...]
The news that Edward Norton had been ‘dumped’ as Bruce Banner/The Hulk for the forthcoming Avengers movie seemed to shock the media this past week. I have to ask, however, just how shocked can we reasonably be? This has been on the cards since the initial announcement of an Avengers project. If it is because [...]
It’s Friday and as you know, that means it’s Friday game time. So, if you’re in the office desperate to go home for this bank holiday weekend, now’s the time to put down the pen, cast aside the post-it notes and start focusing on one thing and one thing only, the HeyUGuys Friday Quiz. As [...]
Back in 1996, Mark Hamill wrote a 5-part comic book called The Black Pearl and today we’ve got word via Vairiety that it’s going to be turned into a film and directed by none-other than Luke Skywalker himself! The Black Pearl was always supposed to be a film but apparently mutated into a comic book [...]
There was already a rumour doing the rounds, but Deadline Hollywood confirmed yesterday that Joss Whedon is the man in the frame to direct Marvel’s much lamented and highly anticipated Avengers film. A surprise choice to be sure, but a very good one as far as i’m concerned. You see, i was in the process of writing [...]
It was one of the finest examples of a faithful and forward thinking reboot of perhaps the most lauded and precious franchises in history, and J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek is virtually on repeat in my Blu-ray player. So, for the millions of you who enjoyed the film we’ve teamed up with the fine people at [...]
