Hmmm....interesting.

I would like to. It has to be better than the one with Dolf Lundgren.

Are there any comic book characters left that they haven't made a movie of yet? Maybe Aquaman or Green Arrow?

Fantastic Four?

I think they are making that into a movie too tho.

What about that guy that teams up with the Punisher sometimes that has an eye patch and a jet pack?

Then theres also the Advengers with Iron man, Thor, Capt America, Hawkeye, etc... All of whom can be a movie onto themselves. Id like to see an Iron Man movie myself.

WHat about Ghost Rider? IS that a movie too?

League of Extraordinary Gentleman comes out soon.

Ghost Rider, Elektra and Hellblazer are the next two comics that will be made into movies.

Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Nick Fury and Namor are all in early stages of developement.

Now Ghost Rider is a movie I'm waiting for. Interesting to see how they'll pull that one off.

Is Nicholas Cage still going to play the part?

I thought Iron Man was already in the works.

The Silver Surfer? You have GOT to be kidding.

Isn't Leo DiCaprio playing Iron Man?

Last I heard he was in the lead, but nothing has been settled. But isn't Iron Man suppose to be older?

I can't believe I forgot to mention Hellboy comes out next year.

And Avi Arad (head of Marvel movie production) said they're hoping for Fantastic Four to come out fall of 2004.

I dunno. Thomas Jane doesn't do anything for me as the Punisher. Plus he looks too puny. Nice costume by the way. A t-shirt with a skull printed on it. The wonders of Hollywood.

As for Iron Man; Leo DiCaprio? I thought Tony Stark was some rich, older, successful business man.

That is what he wears in the comic books.

A slight variation. It was always a skin tight costume that showed off his massive physique. He's wearing.....a t-shirt. I dunno, it was just a teaser so whatever. Maybe when the actual trailer comes out, I'll have a different opinion.

Part 1 of Marvel's "official movie adaptation" hit comic shops this week. {spoiler alert...}




















Punisher character's been slightly ret-conned for the flick: he is now a Gulf War vet (a sergeant instead of a lieutenant), he works for the FBI and alienates the mob after a sting gone awry, his son gives him the skull shirt, and his rich family is killed at a reunion in Puerto Rico. That's where part 1 ended, and I'd presume after this it's the usual Punisher story of revenge and carnage (albeit updated for 2004)...

Tom Cruise has expressed interest in this project, as late as a post Oscar night party....

That's been making the rounds in the rumor mill and Marvel has pushed Iron Man to the top of the list of movies it wants to make. Just behind Fantastic Four I believe.
