Things that aren’t happening: Moore/Patton, Christensen/Mandrake
Well, only yesterday we reported Mike Patton might be working with Alan Moore, but Robot 6 dashes our hopes. However, it will still be very cool:
The other details on the project were correct — it will include a photographic novel, art prints, a two-hour audiobook and a soundtrack that will include contributions by Andrew Broder of Fog. Patton, meanwhile, is doing some work with Lex Records, specifically a collaboration with TV On the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe.
ALSO, the Hayden-Christensen-is-Mandrake-the-Magician story has also been quashed:
Yesterday afternoon, word hit the wire that “Star Wars” prequel star Hayden Christensen had signed on for a live-action film based on the “Mandrake the Magician” comic strip created by Lee Falk. After speaking with a representative of Christensen, however, MTV News has been told that he is not attached to the “Mandrake” movie.
We know you are all devastated now, and we’ll just leave you to quietly whimper yourself to an uneasy sleep.
