Earth 2

Did you get the chance yesterday to read about Spider-Man saving the day at Barack Obama's inauguration? No? That's because the issue vanished from comic book store shelves across the country in a matter of hours. We don't always get to cover comic book releases here at Collider, but in making a cross-la trek yesterday, I thought the story was worth an examination.

Petty is giving instructions for a crane-mounted shot he wants on his horror/Western The Burrowers, which is being released this Tuesday, April 21 on DVD by Lionsgate. Petty, casually dressed in a T-shirt and jacket, looks on his monitor at a green meadow between tall white aspen trees.
Actor William Mapother is loosely tied down to a fallen tree trunk, his face heavy with makeup of bruises, cuts and a pustulent growth. A tall Ute Indian, played by Tatanka Means with war paint on his face and a brown leather outfit, looks on. But he’s not the main threat faced by Mapother’s character, former soldier William Parcher; that would be the film’s title creatures—mysterious, vaguely humanoid beings that live underground and feast upon captured prey.
At the call for “action,
