Here are three names, can you guess what links them? - Richard Branson, Deepak Chopra, Guy Ritchie.
Well, it was Branson and Chopra, among others, who set up Virgin Comics back in 2005. And Guy Ritchie has created a comic for them, called "Guy Ritchie's Gamekeeper."
The Los Angeles Times quoted Ritchie as saying this is the first step in a career plan to use comics to shape and launch his films. "It's the storyboard for the film," he said.
You can have a look at the comics at www.virgincomics.com (where you can read them online or download them), but what's more intriguing to me about this is that it's another avenue with potential for aspiring as well as established film-makers to get a project underway. And for another example of how the media are mixing, go to the same site and read about the new joint venture between Virgin and the Sci-Fi Channel.
