A trailer has been released for Future Shock! The Story of 2000 Ad.
Director Paul Goodwin's documentary charts the history of the long-running UK anthology.
Watch the trailer below (Warning: Contains explicit language):
The trailer features interviewees including Pat Mills, legendary Vertigo editor Karen Berger, Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons and Grant Morrison.
"2000 Ad is the comic that people don't know they like," said Goodwin.
"Its pop cultural influence is massive - it's been referenced, homaged and outright ripped off in everything from other comics to films to television to music - and yet too many people are unaware of it.
"So many of us owe a debt to 2000 Ad - both as fans and creators - and Future Shock! is our attempt to acknowledge that."
Future Shock! The Story of 2000 Ad is yet to announce its release details.

So, it's summer, and what better season is there for lighting one up, throwing on some chill tunes and whiling away a lazy weekend? While we officially don't condone those sorts of activities, unofficially we might, but either way, if you need to re-up your stash you might track down a couple of laid back bros like Ben and Chon in Oliver Stone's "Savages." Though hopefully, you won't get caught in the crossfire. Squaring off against a Mexican cartel looking to take over their turf, their shared girlfriend O is kidnapped, raising the stakes, and needless to say the results are explosive. And, the tunes on the soundtrack are equally fiery.
M. Ward, Bob Dylan, Peter Tosh (guess which song?), Massive Attack, Cut Copy and more promise to keep things moving in this pretty solid collection of tunes, while Bruce Lash offers up a super chilled over of Talking Heads...

Crucible, Sheffield; Cottesloe; Olivier, both London
For fans of the television series The Wire, it is impossible not to be on patrol, trying to spot detective Jimmy McNulty in Dominic West's Iago and Lester Freamon in Clarke Peters's Othello. But it is to the credit of both actors and to Daniel Evans's triumphant production at the Sheffield Crucible that such distractions do not persist as the tragedy gathers pace. Besides, Dominic West is in complete Shakespearean disguise as Iago. He has grown a beard, cut his hair savagely short, wears curious brown leather knickerbockers with slits in them and has acquired a Yorkshire accent to play the greatest villain of all time. The choice of accent is inspired because it sounds so trustworthy – it turns Iago into Mr Common Sense. Noisy comedy is this Iago's cover. You can imagine him propping up the bar at a 16th-century tavern,...
