Not all comic-book movies have to be about superheroes or heroes at all for that matter. Case in point: Accident Man. Originally debuting in a series of comic strips in the 90s, Accident Man was created by Pat Mills and Tony Skinner – two legends of the UK comics scene. For those not familiar with the Mills and Skinner creation, Mike Fallon is a hitman, a stone-cold killer and the best at what he does. Yet he’s no ordinary hitman. Instead, Fallon has a very particular style of assassination: all of his jobs are completed by making it look like the target was killed simply by accident… Hence the name Accident Man.

It’s fair to say that Mike Fallon is a character you should not like. He’s superficial, arrogant, materialistic and a killer. A creation of Pat Mills and Tony Skinner with artwork by Howard Chaykin, Martin Emond, Duke Mighten and John Earsmus, The Complete Accident Man introduces you to the world of the Mike Fallon, and then lets you decide on just what you think of the assassin.
Mike Fallon is a creep, there is no doubt about it. He likes to make sure you realise that he is emotionless and doesn’t care about anything but making money. The fact is though as you read through the pages of The Complete Accident Man you’ll find that this is a man of principles and a man who does care, though he hates it. Killing for a profit he hates when he has to do a job for free,...

FremantleMedia Australia last night launched new creative production house Spring as a stand-alone division for new sponsor-driven content and transmedia programming.
Launched suitably on the first day of Spring at a Potts Point penthouse, the new division is a world first for the international company, aimed to deliver products outside of what Fremantle are currently known for – tentpole projects such as X-Factor, Australia’s Got Talent and Biggest Loser. Hogg compared the relationship between Spring and Fremantle to that of Jetstar and Qantas.
Offering affordable solutions for advertiser-funded programs across multi-platform opportunities, FremantleMedia’s Asia Pacific CEO Ian Hogg said, “Spring has been born to create quality content to meet the growing demand from broadcasters and our other partners for new types of programming and collaborative projects.”
While Fremantle will remain offering prime time programming on Fta channels, Spring will deliver off-peak Fta programming as well as content for digital channels and subscription TV,...
