WonderCon 2012 (San Diego Comic-Con’s sister convention) kicked off on Friday at the Anaheim Convention Center and that evening fan’s were treated to the World Premiere of the latest film from DC Universe Animated Original Movies entitled Superman vs. The Elite, which will be available on Blu-ray DVD combo, VOD and digital downloads beginning June 12th.
The PG-13 direct-to-video film series has adapted many classic DC stories in the past including Superman: Doomsday, Justice League: The New Frontier, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Batman: Under the Red Hood, All-Star Superman, and Batman: Year one. The new film is based on the classic Action Comics issue #775, “What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?” written by popular comic book scribe Joe Kelly with art by Doug Mahnke. The story takes a look at the values Superman stands for and if they are still necessary in our cynical new world.
Hollywood insiders were
surprised last fall to hear that NCIS, a series in its ninth season that has
pretty much always flown underneath the radar, was suddenly the number one
scripted show on television. But it completely makes sense once you consider
that the show’s audience transcends demographics and includes both men and
women, young and old, rich and poor, Republican or Democrat. In fact, the show
will reach a unique and honored television milestone when it airs its 200th episode of the series tonight, February 7th on CBS.
The show revolves around a
fictional team of special agents located in Washington D.C. known as the Major
Case Response Team, a division of the primary security, counter-intelligence,
counter-terrorist and law-enforcement agency of the U.S. Department of the
Navy. They are basically the people who deal with high-profile shenanigans. The
team is comprised of Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon, The Presidio), Special Agent “Tony” DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly, Dark Angel),
Timothy McGee (Sean Murray, JAG), Goth-chick Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette, The Ring), Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard (David McCallum, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) and his assistant, Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen).
I recently had the chance to speak with actor Brian Dietzen about his role on NCIS and the show's longevity. The actor discussed the popular series, his character, it’s upcoming 200th episode, what it’s like to speak to fans that happen to be in the military, and working with fellow actor David McCallum.
