OCEAN MOVIE?

Warren Ellis said Saturday that, despite comments from a producer of the 300 movie, there are currently no plans for a movie based on the Ocean comic created by Ellis and Chris Sprouse.

At a press junket for 300 on Saturday, producer Gianni Nunnari said he was developing both Frank Miller's Ronin and "we're working with Warren Ellis, which is Ocean."

Contacted Saturday afternoon for comment, Ellis directed The Continuum to a blog posting that included this statment:

"I imagine Mr. Nunnari was misheard, or misspoke and will correct himself shortly. No film company has ever attempted to purchase the media rights to Ocean, which are owned by Chris and myself."

ZEN KICKS OFF 20TH ANNIVERSARY

Stephen L. Stern and Dan Cote, creators of Zen Intetergalactic Ninja, have several special projects planned to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the character, beginning with the publication of "Prelude to Blood and War" at the New York Comic Con.

"As the title indicates, this is the lead-in to a larger story, which will be published in its entirely during 2007," said Stern, who is the scripter of the Blood and War story arc.

The full-color, 10-page prelude is illustrated by Chad Fuller, best known for his self-published comic, Beowulf.

"Chad's work is remarkable," Cote said. "It's like a cross between Moebius and cutting-edge animation."

"Prelude to Blood and War" will be published in Regent Comics #1, available at the Arcana Studio/Regent Publishing Services Ltd. booth. The comic book, a 64-page anthology used to promote Regent's comic-book and graphic-novel printing services in Southeast Asia, is limited to 1,000 copies and will not be available in retail stores.

Zen's most recent appearance in print was in a two-part story in Heavy Metal magazine, written by Robert V. Conte and illustrated by Christopher Scalf. The online 52-page Zen: Bounty Hunter story, written by Stern and illustrated by Bill Maus, can be read for free at www.ssscomics.com.
