    STAR WARS #1

    in Bronze Age Comic Books

    Posted

    so is this thread like the other owner club threads or just a discussion about the sales of the book? I've read the whole thing and it seems that it has morphed into people talking about sales more often than posting their copies.

     

    For many of us who collected in the 1970s, this book was pretty common and everyone bought a copy when it came out. Still have mine though it is nothing super high grade.

     

    just curious

    There's no reason we can't talk about both here.

    If you have one to show off, show it off.

    Crow Rebooted from Relativity Studios

    in The Movie Forum

    Posted

    They do not want to let this one go.

     

    The Crow reboot still has a director but perhaps not for long

     

    According to Pressman, Relativity invested more than $7 million in the reboot, including $2.5 to exercise the options to acquire and keep the property’s sequel, prequel and remake rights. In 18 months, those rights revert back to Pressman if principal photography hasn't started (which would be three years from when the original agreement was signed).

     

    Now how does Corin Hardy, the latest filmmaker who was set to try tackling THE CROW again, factor into all of this? Pressman claims in his filing that he's in danger of losing the services of the director of the picture … who is widely regarded as a key creative element. Thus, the production of the picture is imploding even as the time to make the picture is running out under the Crow contract.”

     

    Pressman doesn't want any new bidder to be able to secure THE CROW for themselves, unless they guarantee they will finance and release the finished film as his contract stipulates. Essentially Pressman wants the ability to take the project elsewhere as the Relativity ship goes down rather than see a new buyer perhaps half- some sort of release just to keep the project under their banner.

    Why does this feel like a bad picture in the making? And seriously, Prequel rights? What coukd the prequel even be about?

    HBO Max's BOOSTER GOLD series (2025?)

    If you read the article it's a very interesting theory.

    hm

     

    Could Booster Gold Finally Unite DC's TV and Film Universes?

     

    http://comicbook.com/2015/09/18/could-booster-gold-finally-unite-dcs-tv-and-film-universes-/

     

     

    And, yes, giving Zack Snyder control of Man of Steel and Greg Berlanti the chance to shape Supergirl has created a universe where the two are clearly not sharing real estate, even if they share a common point of origin (Krypton, of course).

     

    But...what if this is it? What if this is the moment where the DC Extended Universe becomes a little more cohesive?

     

    Why, of all characters, would Booster Gold be the one to do it?

     

    Well, we have some thoughts on that.

     

    First of all, the movie I'm choosing to call Blue and Gold until somebody tells me different is set in the same shared universe as the Justice League films, at least as far as anyone can tell. That said, it's to be produced and directed by Greg Berlanti, best known for producing Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow.

     

    Berlanti has reportedly been the biggest booster (no pun intended) for Supergirl to share a universe with his other shows, while CBS has thus far been reluctant. He and his cohorts Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg have an appreciation for the history of DC Comics that many filmmakers don't necessarily seem to share.

     

    For instance, they're introducing the multiverse this year on The Flash, and they're doing it exactly the way it was done in DC Comics during the Silver Age: with the meeting of Barry Allen and Jay Garrick, The Flashes of Earth-1 and Earth-2.

     

    That same series, of course, teased Barry Allen's death in Crisis on Infinite Earths as far back as the pilot. Following the events of Crisis when it happened in the comics, the DC Multiverse disappeared, replaced by a single universe, until 2005 when Infinite Crisis reworked the fabric of space and time.

     

    ...And who discovered the new DC Multiverse? Rip Hunter, star of Berlanti's Legends of Tomorrow, and Booster Gold, Rip's father.

     

    They would serve as Time Masters, the guardians of reality, for a long while after that, with that role ultimately wrapping up in Convergence, which restored a full, infinite multiverse to the DC canon.

     

    Could the same people who faithfully depict (with a margin for error) the birth of DC's mutliverse also be the ones to faithfully depict (with a margin for error) the discovery of same in the films?

     

    A connection between Booster Gold and Rip Hunter, played through Blue and Gold and Legends of Tomorrow, could easily be kept from most or all fo the other characters, excepting perhaps Ezra Miller's cinematic Flash, since Miller has already made remarks about parallel universes.

     

    After all, they discovered the Multiverse in 52 and then for all intents and purposes didn't share that information with anyone until Flashpoint. So it isn't as though just establishing "Yeah, these guys are aware that one another exist out there somewhere in the multiverse" doesn't immediately mean that Booster and Beetle will be spending time making guest appearance on Legends and telling Team Arrow about their meeting with Superman.

    GAMBIT MOVIE MADE OFFICIAL (2016)...GOTTA GET X-MEN 266

    Dang! Someone made a good Gambit movie joke, and now look.

     

    Director Rupert Wyatt Drops Out of Channing Tatum’s ‘Gambit’ Movie

     

    Update: 20th Century Fox has release an official statement from Wyatt regarding his departure from the film.

     

    “I was very much looking forward to working with my friend Channing and the team at Fox, but regrettably a push in the start date now conflicts with another project. I thank them for the opportunity, and I know that Gambit will make a terrific film.”

     

    Rupert clearly realized that Tatum is a horrible choice for Gambit, and wisely decided to flee the scene of the crime.

     

    YUUUUUUUUUUUUP

     

    True. Was Tatum the producer or something?

    No, but I believe one of the female producers has admitted to having a huge crush on the guy. :whistle:
