...But the Movie Won't Be Out 'Till Later...

For YOU Or Me! (Singing...!)

Why?? Because the Movie Is Scheduled To Start Shooting in Sydney, Australia in November 2007 for the release date in 2008!

New director Gavin Hood has been selected to direct this first solo shot of the X-Men's most popular team member!

Tina and I enjoyed Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the first three X-Men movies.

Hugh was also great in the time travel movie of 'Kate and Leopold' !

We will be looking forward to this upcoming movie, and will be blogging more about its' progress....

Beowulf Movie Trailer

Here Are Tina's Thoughts on the preview program she attended at Comic Con on the movie:

Neil Gaiman and director Roger Avery gave Comic Con fans a first look at a 2-D trailer for the upcoming movie 'Beowulf', (Paramount Pictures, November 16th, 2007)!

The digitally enhanced live action is their attempt to 'tell the oldest story in the English language', said Gaiman, 'with the technology we have today'.

To me it was a little creepy and alienating, but maybe Angelina Jolie just creeps me out...

Jolie's part of what Gaiman calls his 'bull---- casting'. Gaiman continues with 'You know the game we all play, who would you cast for...??'

Holed up in Mexico writing the screenplay and drinking too much beer Gaiman and Avery speculated on their dream cast; Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich and Crispen Glover. They were amazed when everyone said yes!

Well, in November we'll see if the the movie is a dream or a nightmare...

Meanwhile, you can formulate your own thoughts on the movie by checking out the movie adaptation in comic book format. Just click on the SDCC Comic Con comic book Exclusive at the top left corner for a copy!

The Leo Carillo Ranch!

( Part 2 )

(This is a repost of our earlier blog post because of eBay's Changing the Blog Format and distorting our archived blog post, plus we have more Western Comics listed for sale!)

In Part 1 I posted how we went to see the Leo Carillo Ranch, which is now a Carlsbad California Park! It once had been the home and working ranch of Leo Carillo, who had played 'Pancho' on The Cisco Kid TV Show!

The top left photo is of the Cisco Kid, (Duncan Renaldo), and Pancho, (Leo), instructing children how to brush their teeth! Almost reminds you of how the Lone Ranger would come to shopping centers with similiar good intentions doesn't it?

The middle photo is of the Ranch's caretaker's house, that you would pass on the way in to the main part of the ranch. During those years there was only the one way in and you had to pass by the caretaker's watchful eyes...

The third photo is of a comic book cover of the Cisco Kid. Pancho was not featured on all of the covers unfortunately.

However Leo was very happy that he won this role of 'Pancho' at age 69!

Between 1931 and 1950 Leo had appeared in over 90 feature films! The 'best' per critics were Viva Villa for MGM, and Love Me Forever from Columbia Pictures.

Although he never was a 'super-star', he was paid handsomely for being a 'character' actor, making $4,000 a week during the Great Depression!

In 1950 he was paired with Duncan Renaldo in the full color TV Show Cisco Kid that aired for 156 episodes! It ran in syndication for six years! It was filmed in Pioneertown above Yucca Valley, California.

Tina and I have seen 'Pioneertown' last winter, and it is nowhere as nice as Leo's Ranch in Carlsbad!

Leo was in great demand as an arena, fairs and rodeo star during the time of the 'Cisco Kid' TV Show.

He also was in multiple parades with his Palomino horse Conquistador, and was beloved by many.

Leo passed away September 10, 1961. His adopted daughter inheirted the ranch, but as years went by she would sell more and more of the 2,538 acres of the Ranch to developers.

Today the Ranch Park is approximately 27 acres, and is in the process of still being restored. It is a beautiful place, and is worth visiting when in the North County area of San Diego County!

Again our thanks to docent Ron Bykowski for the very interesting tour this past weekend!

For those interested in our American 'Old West', we have several comic books about TV Westerns, Western Movies, and more Western Comics in our eBay Featured Store!

Cisco Kid's Pancho - Leo Carillo's Ranch Part 1

The Leo Carillo Ranch!

( Part 1 )

(This is a repost of our earlier blog post because of eBay's Changing the Blog Format and distorting our archived blog post.)

Well, we went to see the Leo Carillo Ranch yesterday. The Ranch is now a Carlsbad park, but it had been the home and working ranch of Leo Carillo who had played the 'sidekick' to the Cisco Kid on the TV Show!!

Having a major interest in TV Westerns, and their collectibles, we decided to picnic at the LC Ranch yesterday with my youngest son.

Additionally we took the tour with docent Ron Bykowski for about 2 hours. He added great background stories to the hacienda and ranch, which we appreciated!

Carlsbad, the State of California, and the Federal Government, plus local organizations have invested about $7 million dollars into the restoration of the ranch. We highly recommend it to visitors that are interested in the Old California lifestyle of the days of the Spanish Land Grants.

Leo used the ranch as a retreat from his Hollywood work, but invited many on Hollywood's 'A' List to come down to the ranch for his twice a year Rodeos.

Matter of fact Clark Gable and Carole Lombard honeymooned at the ranch, and others including Walt Disney, Danny Thomas etc came for visits.

The photo to the top left is a cover from Cisco Kid Comics #30. Duncan Renaldo played the Cisco Kid (left), and Leo Carillo played Pancho (right).

The middle photo is myself and Tina at the entrance to the Park, standing by the State Of California Historical Site Designation sign.

The bottom photo is of the Ranch Barn, and the stable to right is where Conquistador, Pancho's horse, stayed when not guest starring on TV !

This is end of Part 1. More to follow...

Now you know there is more in Carlsbad, California than just 'Legoland' and beaches!

For additional info on this ranch park, see www.carillo-ranch.org .

For those interested in our American 'Old West', we have several comic books about TV Westerns, Western Movies, and more Western Comics in our eBay Featured Store!
