on a similar vein, has anyone done a series based on Breaking Bad yet? seems like a no brainer considering that it has been done before for major movies like PLanet of the Apes and 2001 (can't think of a TV show right off) etc. Sales of those books would go through the roof-- maybe not a big collectible but so many people love that show.

I didn't see that coming.

 

WB Planning LEGION OF SUPERHEROES Movie

 

-------------------

"According to sources, Warners is quietly sending out the DC comic book Legion Of Superheroes to screenwriters & their reps for takes. For non-industry folks, what that means is that screenwriters check out the comic book and come up for a movie idea involving the characters from that comic. Those writers then go to the studio to pitch their idea. The studio then hires the screenwriter they feel has the best idea or take for the film."

-------------------

 

If true, GotG definitely has opened up new doors for space-based CBM properties.

I guess Guardians has also made other space-based franchises want to be more like it as well.

 

Paramount Wants STAR TREK 3 To Be Like Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

 

:ohnoez:

 

-----------------

"They want the third film to be huge, and they want it to be huge overseas especially. They look at Rocket and Groot and then they look at Keenser and they wonder why he doesn't have more of a role." - Devin Faraci

Any movie can work if there's solid characterization. Lame characters can have space warps etc up the yin-yang and it will still suck.

See 'Phantom Menace'

They can do a Adam Strange movie as lone as Carmine Infantino comes nowhere near it.

 

?

 

care to delve further into this?

Well, the guy's passed on so chances are he won't be focused to much on the movie...which is too bad 'cuz Cinfa's the best! If they can get his design aesthetic in an Adam Strange movie that'll be awesome!

Grim Jack (start with the Demon Wars and gooooooooooooo.... :D )

 

I would love to see a well-done Grimjack movie. That would be killer!

Maybe someone can send a package of Grimjack comics to Tim Burton. He talked about not being opposed to returning to a 'superhero' movie, though men in tights is what he is getting frustrated with.

Grimjack doesn't do tights!

characterization and story. You can have some super characters and actors, and a horrible story.

 

I think in the right hands, the original Elektra and Daredevil movies could have been spectacular. What the director was thinking with that heavy focus on kid in Elektra rather than the main character, I just don't get. It killed the movie.

Most of the Marvel movie heroes don`t wear tights. They mostly have armor.

Even Batman wears armor now, so Burton might be out of the loop now? hm
