Nathan Fillion's 'Castle': The Secret Comic Book History

Posted 1/23/12 11:00 am EST by in Commentary


Castle

by Ethan Kaye

Comic books weave threads through all popular media. What once lived in attics and dingy strip mall stores are now headlining box offices, Broadway stages, and magazine covers. So how far do these tentacles stretch? This column looks at what’s popular, and uncovers some of the hidden connections to the comic world!

This week: “Castle!” When best-selling mystery author Richard Castle runs into a bout of writer’s block, he does what any writer does: goes into the field and shadows a real cop, Kate Beckett. His writing takes on a new life, as he gets dragged into case after case by his “partner.” The best part? Actual novels by “Richard Castle” are available at bookstores. And not just books – comics!

If you’ve ever reminisced about the “Justice League” TV show and thought “Gosh, wouldn’t it be cool if the original voice cast reunited for another awesome JL project?” – then we’ve got news for you.

'Castle' Graphic Novel To Bring Nathan Fillion's TV Series To Comics

Posted 5/16/11 4:46 pm EST by in Marvel, News


CastleWe might not get to see Nathan Fillion suit up as Green Lantern, Hawkeye, or any of the other comic book characters we keep suggesting him for, but it looks like he'll get a different sort of crossover with the comics world in the near future.

Announced via press release today, Marvel Entertainment and ABC Studios are partnering to publish a graphic novel based on "Castle," the hit television series in which Fillion plays celebrated mystery author Richard Castle. The graphic novel will be titled "Castle: Richard Castle’s Deadly Storm," and feature the protagonist of Richard Castle's novels, Derrick Storm.

And while that might be an appealing prospect to "Castle" fans (and Nathan Fillion fans), comic fans should note the pedigree of the project's creative team, too. Veteran writer Brian Michael Bendis will co-script the book with Kelly Sue DeConnick ("Captain America And The Secret Avengers"), while "Fables" artist Lan Medina handles the interior art.

Nathan Fillion's 'Avengers' Dreams Dashed By 'Castle' Commitment

Posted 9/21/10 1:44 pm EST by in Marvel, News


Nathan FillionWith Joss Whedon officially on board as the director of "The Avengers," it's just a matter of time before the geek-friendly filmmaker finds roles for some of his most frequently used actors, right? Well, maybe not — at least not in Nathan Fillion's case.

Although Fillion has been at the center of rumors pegging him for Hank Pym in Whedon's superhero team-up, the "Castle" actor doesn't find it particularly likely that he'll actually wind up in "The Avengers."

"That would be a lovely fantasy," he told Collider about the possibility. "The fact is that I'm on 'Castle' right now, and that's 10 months out of the year. So, unless they're filming for two months, on my months off, there's just no possible way it could logistically be done." Read More...
