Filmmaker Roger Corman revives the Black Scorpion

20 August 2009 3:58 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Sexy superheroine the Black Scorpion is returning to guard the streets of Angel City, this time in a new comic book series.

Roger Corman's Black Scorpion is being published by Bluewater Productions in a partnership with the director, who is known mainly for his horror movie output.

The crimefighter previously featured in two made-for-cable movies in 1995 and 1997, both starring Joan Severance, and a 2001 Sci Fi Channel series starring Michelle Lintel.

The new comic book, out in November, will reintroduce and reimagine the scantily-clad vigilante who was created by Corman and producer Craig Nevius.

Nevius said: "Roger and I had always intended to create a comic book franchise based on the Black Scorpion movies and TV series.

"And with classic costumed superheroes back in vogue thanks to the success of the Batman and Iron Man movies, the time seemed right to bring back our costumed superheroine."

Phil Spector was sentenced to 19 years to life in prison on Friday for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson.

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge sentenced Spector to 15 years to life for second-degree murder and an additional four years for personal use of a gun, according to the Associated Press.

Clarkson, who starred in Roger Corman's cult hit Barbarian Queen, died of a gunshot fired in her mouth in Spector's mansion in 2003. She had met Spector only hours earlier at her job as a nightclub hostess.

Spector was best known as a music producer in the 1960s, whose signature "Wall of Sound" souped up the tracks of Ike and Tina Turner, the Ronettes and the Beatles.

To know him is to (a) acquit him or (b) convict him? That's the task ahead of jurors in the retrial of Phil Spector on murder charges as they began deliberations today, a year-and-a-half after a previous panel couldn't reach a verdict, forcing a mistrial. Spector's second spin within the criminal justice system began five months ago, when prosecutors started rehashing hundreds of hours of testimony contending that the Wall of Sound maestro went berserk in early morning hours of Feb. 3, 2003, and shot to death B-movie star Lana Clarkson. Earlier, Spector picked up the 40-year-old Barbarian Queen actress at the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip, where she worked as a VIP hostess. Hours... »
