I wouldn't trust their words longer than I could throw them.

Do note that my superpowers does not include the ability to throw people a really long distance, neither can I challenge the laws of physics and make them weightless. I could probably throw Sam Raimi a little, but not the heavy boulder of awesome that is Mr Nolan. No sir!

I found this pic on Rotten Tomatoes today of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan....



idk if this is fake or not (the corresponding article says the movie is in pre-production) but if this pic is real maybe Ryan Reynolds really can pull it off....but that is a butt ugly costume.

[Lid]

Hmm, probably a fake, I think the mask is pretty small on that costume.

Aint It Cool News also came out with an article about who could be up for Sinestro.

Just edit your other post and put the link in, no need to double post.

[True]

It's not a double post if they are two separate dates but simply a "bump" as the topic doesn't update if a post is only edited.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Ooh, didn't know that. Now I know! Thanks, true
And the pic looks like it's either CGI or a drawing to me.....

Well, I just figured since it's been a long time since I played in this thread, I might start up another convo as well from my little haul on ign this morning. As a fan of the Deadpool character, I wasn't really sure what to think about Ryan's final product in Wolverine, but I have faith in Ryan as Deadpool anyway, because in my mind's eye, Ryan Reynolds IS Deadpool damnit, so I can't wait to read more about the Deadpool Reboot. If we really get what we're promised, and a proper reboot is made, then perhaps it'll be THE Deadpool movie the fans has been waiting for? What's the deal of turning the merc with a mouth into a mute zombie-like character and sow up his mouth? No, reboot please.

As for the Green Lantern movie, I won't judge until I see a trailer. Heck, I know I'll probably enjoy the movie no matter what happens, as I just can't wait to see them use the power ring in a movie. I don't think Ryan will be a copy of Hal from the comics, but perhaps more of an amalgam character based upon several of the GL's. I can see him acting alot like Kyle Rayner. I'm a little happy with the recent rumors about Jackie Earle Haley being cast as Sinestro in the movie, but for nowRorschach as Sinestro is still only a rumor.

The X-Men movies took a bad fall after that dirty Singer-guy ran off to make Superman- The Curse of the Kryptonite Continent, but there's still a lot of X-movies planned. The movie version of the First Class-comic might be the reboot we need, but I'm worried about the casting. And what's with the talk about it being influenced by the Harry Potter movies? If that's true, then I hope Scott and Jean gets into Gryffindor together. Also, after the funfun time we had watching the Wolvie movie, and it's great success, don't wait up for Magnus' spin-of. Magneto's List- Doubtful

I still love Hugh Jackman's Wolverine though, and he did his best in the title movie. If they didn't assrape the franchise like they did, it could have turned out a lot better. Anyway, if you're looking forward to watching Wolvie do Japan... well, don't wait up.

Finally, they're making a movie about a Norse god. I have to say, it's about time since Thor is an awesome comicbook character, and he has a fun library of villains to play with. But is it wrong of me to be more excited about yet another cameo from Stan The Man?

[chouzu_tao]

Many of us get what we want with the Spidey franchise. I for one am counted among them. I hope they get some energized actors this time, and a better Mary Jane.

[dl316bh]

I'm honestly hoping they leave Mary Jane out of the reboot or keep her to a minimum. We've had her shoved down our throats for three movies now. Peter Parker has other love interests, many far more interesting than MJ. Hopefully they get a better Peter Parker/Spider-Man this time too. Tobey never struck me as right for the part.

I hope this means better films; the only Spidey film I thought was great was the first one.

I loved the first two Spidey movies, but the third one was bad. I'm still not sure how anyone could ruin Venom, but they did it marvellously. I never liked Kirsten Dunst as MJ either, as she strikes me as too... what's the word I'm looking for... dull? to play MJ. Dunst is cute, but MJ is supposed to be supermodel beautiful, and to be honest... Dunst isn't imo!

Tobey did a good job in the first movie, and I think he did well in #2 as well, but as soon as he emo'ed up for the black suit, it went downhill. I would love for Marvel to make a Spider-man movie where Peter is younger and still in school, and use some classic villains other than Doc Oc and the Green Goblin. I wouldn't mind a young spidey VS Black Cat or Morbius (this could make a cameo from Blade possible as well )

Oh well, bring on the goodness.

Edit: Oh... I guess they will reboot the franchise. HOORAY ^^

[Daniee]

I don't know if I should be surprised by this or not... I don't really know what they could have done with a "Spider-Man 4", but it seemed like they were going through with it. I am glad, though. It seems like most reboots these days turn out successful (Batman Begins, Casino Royale, Star Trek). Gwen Stacy and web shooters in this one, please.

In other news, we have writers for Deadpool:

Very good match, I must say.

[dl316bh]

The Deadpool project is actually sounding like it might well turn out good.

Gwen Stacy and web shooters in this one, please.

I second both of these. Also, a Peter Parker that's more like he should be would be great. On top of that, villains who are actually villains would be fantastic as well; it seemed everyone Spidey fought in the previous trilogy had a sympathetic angle.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Not to mention probably more wise cracking. Hope they solve and make Talking a Free Action in the reboot though....

[Muffins?]

I don't know if anyone else is looking forward to the Kick Ass movie. I read those comics a while ago and I liked them so I am looking forward to seeing this movie.

[dl316bh]

I don't know if anyone else is looking forward to the Kick Ass movie. I read those comics a while ago and I liked them so I am looking forward to seeing this movie.

If I see it, it will be for Nicholas Cage. I'm otherwise not really enthused about Kick Ass. I like about half of Mark Millars comics output, but with Kick Ass he basically said he was doing one thing and then did another completely different one. Considering that, my lack of enthusiasm for the comic kind of translates over to the movie.

Not to mention probably more wise cracking.

Yes please. That was one of the big, gaping exclusions in the original trilogy. The Raimi trilogy missed the boat on so many things that I sometimes can't help but feel like I was watching another superhero wrapped in Spider-Mans trappings.

[chouzu_tao]

On top of that, villains who are actually villains would be fantastic as well; it seemed everyone Spidey fought in the previous trilogy had a sympathetic angle.

I agree to some extent. I don't think Sympathetic would be how I described the 1st Goblin, at least not until his "don't tell Harry" line. Doc Oc definitely was, Green Goblin II was, Sandman was, Venom was somewhat, but it actually pans out a bit more in the comics than in the movie, so I got no complaints about that. I will agree though that I want a villain with bigger ambitions than kidnapping Mary Jane. Doc Oc did, but something with a bigger picture.

Not to mention probably more wise cracking. Hope they solve and make Talking a Free Action in the reboot though....

I also agree with this. There were perhaps two wise-cracks in each movie. This is one of the things that defines Spidey.

I don't know if anyone else is looking forward to the Kick Ass movie. I read those comics a while ago and I liked them so I am looking forward to seeing this movie.

I'm looking forward to it, but I actually am not looking forward to Nicolas Cage at all. And I'm very curious as to the comedic tone, because to me it seems even more comedic than the comic.

In other news:

It looks like Sinestro may only be introduced as an aspect for a trilogy villain while Dr. Hector Hammond may be the film's main villain.

Joe Johnston says that Captain America will be set mainly during the war era.

And it says here that Sony is trying to still reach it's new date for the new Spiderman film and it's looking at these directors:

James Cameron
David Fincher
Wes Anderson
Marc Webb

Okay Avatards... I gotta say Cameron can make a great looking film, but if you've read his treatment of his Spider-man film back when you'd know that he doesn't give a crap about any of the characters. So dear movie gods, don't let him helm it.

David Fincher would make for an intense Spider-man film, and I like the idea, but he'll probably turn it down. He's made such great films as Zodiac and Fight Club.

Wes Anderson just makes no sense to me, but he would get the awkward teen thing going just right, I'd see the film simply out of curiousity. Don't get me wrong, I love most of his work (Royal Tennembaum, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Darjeeling Limited)

Marc Webb to me might be what we get. The studio is looking for someone they can push around a little and Marc Webb is an Independent film director who may see all the cash he could never have before and let the studio push him around. We'll see.

[FullmetalNinja25]

Jackie Earle Haley is being rumored to play Sinestro in the Green Lantern movie. I think my excitement meter just went up a bit for this movie.

[dl316bh]

I agree to some extent. I don't think Sympathetic would be how I described the 1st Goblin, at least not until his "don't tell Harry" line.

I don't know. I think they had Norman be rather sympathetic through the first movie. He was wrestling with insanity and a second personality; if nothing else, it wasn't too difficult to sympathize with him because he was wrestling with madness.

The thing is, it worked for Norman. That was how he was for the longest time in the comics. A screwed up man with multiple personalities; something Spidey knew and wanted Norman to overcome. Until the night Gwen Stacy died, when it all changed. Aside from the Power Rangers reject costume, the first film was rather faithful to the Norman character.

It looks like Sinestro may only be introduced as an aspect for a trilogy villain while Dr. Hector Hammond may be the film's main villain.

That's the best way to do it, I think. It allows the films to go into Sinestro's time as a Green Lantern and his spiral downwards. I hope this is the way they go.

Okay Avatards... I gotta say Cameron can make a great looking film, but if you've read his treatment of his Spider-man film back when you'd know that he doesn't give a crap about any of the characters. So dear movie gods, don't let him helm it.

This is true, but it's also been fifteen to twenty years since he was pitching the film. Things change in that sort of time. Besides which, Spider-Man at this point isn't struggling to get to the big screen; he'd have to care about the characters or the film would go nowhere.

That said, as much as I love James Camerons films, he wouldn't be my first choice for a director to take over the franchise.

I also agree with this. There were perhaps two wise-cracks in each movie. This is one of the things that defines Spidey.

I always found it particularly sad that the tie-in games for each film had more wisecracks in their opening levels than the movies did in their full runtime.

Don't worry man, I'm always here to cut your excitement meter in half when needed.

Rumour FATALITY

[Cloud]

It's circling around the internet that Christopher Nolan "cracked" the story for a Batman sequel. It would bring a great trilogy to an end, but I don't get how they're gonna top TDK.

Oh well, Nolan's movies are always genius. Memento FTW.
