Portland, Or – Comics and graphic novel publisher Ablaze notably expands its webtoon manhwa catalog with The Awl, a moving and socially conscious series about the struggles of workers at an oppressive Korean big box superstore as they strive for better lives and working conditions. The work is by creator Choi Gyu-Seok, who was also the artist of The Hellbound, a manhwa series adapted into a live action show and streaming on Netflix now.
The Awl is critically acclaimed and the recipient of the Korean Cartoon of Today Prize and caused a stir by raising public awareness about acute labor problems when it was originally published. It was also adapted to a successful TV series in South Korea by the Jtbc network. Ablaze will launch the 6-volume series in print with the debut of Volume 1 this December.

The BBC has dropped a trailer for its upcoming adaptation of H.G. Wells’ alien-invasion classic, “The War of the Worlds.”
Set in Edwardian England, in the southern English county of Surrey, the three-part series stars Rafe Spall (“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingfom”), Eleanor Tomlinson (“Poldark”), Rupert Graves (“Sherlock”) and Robert Carlyle (“The Full Monty”) as earthlings caught up in the panic after a meteor bearing extermination-minded aliens lands in the usually placid British countryside. Craig Viveiros directs.
The series will be broadcast on flagship channel BBC One this fall. ITV Studios has sold the show to major European countries and more than 50 African territories.
Spall plays George, a man who escapes his failing marriage to begin a new life with Amy (Tomlinson), despite societal disapproval. Graves plays George’s brother and Carlyle an astronomer.
The production is one of two warring “War of the Worlds” TV adaptations. The other, spanning eight episodes,...

The San Sebastian Film Festival today announced the line-up of its Kutxabank-New Directors Award, which seeks to discover new filmmaking talent.
Thirteen films will compete in the section, all made by first or second-time filmmakers.
Among the names, who have previously created waves in non-feature format, are Swedish photographer Jens Assur, whose 2011 short Killing Chickens To Scare Monkeys, won several festival awards.
