Silver Gives SGT. ROCK Update Posted by Jett @ 9:58 AM on 2/2/10
Producer Joel Silver offered up an update on SGT. ROCK via HERO COMPLEX. "It's a little bit in the future," Silver said of the setting. "As a war movie, it's not going to be 'where it's been,' it's going to be 'where it's going.' We didn't want to do Iraq, we didn't want to do a contemporary war. We wanted to do a sort of futuristic war. It's pretty strong. Chad St. John wrote the script and we've got Francis Lawrence involved in developing it with us. It's not a 'go' movie yet but I'm feeling good about it."

Looks like the first trailer for THE LOSERS. Enjoy!
Ritchie Trades LOBO For More HOLMES Posted by Jett @ 6:21 PM on 1/27/09
In a move that's certainly not a shock -- at least not to me -- director Guy Ritchie is going to focus on a sequel to SHERLOCK HOLMES rather than helm LOBO -- so says LATIMES.COM.
Frankly, I think Warner Bros./DC Entertainment should just drop this Lobo thing as I don't see it doing well as a film property. If you want some dark and obscure DC character, how about Deadman? I'd LOVE to see a DEADMAN movie! How about a flick based on The Spectre? Anyway...
Like I said, I'm not shocked at all by the move for various reasons and I'm really looking forward to the SHERLOCK HOLMES sequel as I LOVED THE FIRST ONE.

SHAZAM! Update Posted by Jett @ 9:35 AM on 11/12/09
Bill Birch -- who is the co-writer of the upcoming SHAZAM! film says that Ryan Reynolds was his first choice to portray Captain Marvel. "I always thought Ryan Reynolds would have been interesting but now that he’s Green Lantern that’s not an option," said the scribe. Birch is currently co-writing a new script with Geoff Johns. "The way the story is shaking out," says Birch, "Geoff and I see this not as 'dark' as THE DARK KNIGHT, but definitely as cool. It'll probably end up with a PG-13 rating. Tonally I think it's important to successfully find the balance of comedy and danger in the story. That’s a major aspect I’m focusing on. Frankly hitting the right tone is what’s going to either get this made or keep it in development hell.” (SOURCE:CINEFOOLS.COM)
Into The Future For SGT. ROCK Posted by Jett @ 9:22 AM on 11/10/09
"SGT. ROCK a long-gestating project based on the World War II hero from DC Comics, is moving forward...by going into the future.
Francis Lawrence is attached to direct, and Chad St. John, who wrote the spec THE DAY BEFORE is charged with writing the new take. Joel Silver, who has been steering the project for nearly 20 years, is teaming with Akiva Goldsman, who recently boarded as producer, to bring the project to the big screen via Warner Bros. Silver Pictures’ Andrew Rona also is producing, and Weed Road’s Kerry Foster is exec producing."

UPDATED (10/18/09): According to MTV's SPLASH PAGE, Haley says all of this is news to him. ""I just heard about this, literally," Haley said. "I know the guys that are doing it. It's exciting to me. It makes me want to go get the Green Lantern comics and start reading up. A lot of the roles I've been doing were first suggested by people on the Internet. It could be cool."

SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES Wrap-Up Posted by:Jett @ 9:22 AM on 10/2/09
Since SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES was released this past Tuesday (HERE is my review, by the way), here's a wrap-up of BOF's coverage...
The Cage-Kal El From SUPERMAN LIVES?! Posted by:Jett @ 10:45 AM on 9/23/09
I hope like hell that what you see below is a damn photoshop!
About a decade or so ago, Nic Cage was cast as Superman in Tim Burton's SUPERMAN LIVES. Even then I thought that project was a disaster waiting to happen. Warner Bros. certainly did since they killed it right before it was to film. Anyway...
This new photo is floating around (via TIMBURTON.JP which alleges to be Cage dressed as Superman.
So, what do you think? It looks like it might be fake to me, but you never know. I do remember seeing Nic Cage on Leno's THE TONIGHT SHOW back then and he described the suit -- and this appears to be it. Rubbery, darker color tones, and a long-haired black wig. Frankly, he looks terrible. If this film had come to pass, I don't think we'd be in the "Golden Age of Comic Book Movies" as we are today.

Warner Bros. Restructuring DC (On Film)! Posted by:Jett @ 12:08 PM on 9/9/09
UPDATE: Warner Bros. has issued a press release which you can read HERE.
Nikki Finke of DEADLINEHOLLYWOOD.COM is reporting that Warner Bros. is restructuring "DC on Film," if you will, and will be and have been "calling back" their high-profile DC properties. Here's a blurb from the report:
I've learned that the announcement may be made as soon as later today. The restructuring of the stand-alone DC Comics business is being described to me as Warner Bros Pictures Group president Jeff Robinov's first priority since having his contract re-upped by Time Warner. I know what everybody is thinking: that this move is in response to the announcement August 31st that Disney is buying Marvel. You can think that, but you would be wrong. This change has been in the works quietly for two years ever since Robinov moved into the top slot. "It was Jeff's idea to have DC Comics reporting to him, and DC will be his direct responsibility with Diane Nelson," an insider confided to me. I've also learned that Robinov for months has quietly gone to producers like Chuck Roven and Joel Silver and Akiva Goldman "call back" all their existing high profile DC titles in development like The Flash and Wonder Woman. Not only was that shocking to the producers, but even more so when they found out this was part of Robinov's strategy to severely limit the number of gross players on the projects. Producers were told that they may get the titles back to develop, but with far less rich deals. "Jeff always wanted some kind of oversight of DC, and now he wants Warner's to hold onto ownership," my insider explains. (My understanding is that Joel Silver, who is buddies with Robinov, was told he can continue to develop low profile The Losers under the Dark Castle banner. But his 10 years of developing Wonder Woman is history now.)
This looks on the surface to be a good thing overall for "DC on Film." Click on the link provided for the full report.
SMALLVILLE's Superman Posted by:Jett @ 4:10 PM on 9/7/09
OK, so y'all, like it or not?
I haven't watched SMALLVILLE in quite some time -- the show simply lost me several seasons back. Anyway, here's a look at SV's first incarnation of "Superman" via SCREENRANT.COM:
You know, it doesn't suck. In fact, I kind of like it. I'm sure it'll evolve into a more traditional Superman suit -- don't you think?
Even though I couldn't care less about SMALLVILLE anymore, they'll win me back if I know Superman's coming and they end the whole thing with a SMALLVILLE Superman TV movie.
LOBO Gets A Director Posted by:Jett @ 3:53 PM on 9/2/09
First DEADMAN, now LOBO.
Gets a director, that is, according to VARIETY.COM.
Warner Bros. has locked Guy Ritchie to direct LOBO” -- a live action adaptation of the DC Comics drama about an alien interstellar bounty hunter. Don Payne wrote the most recent script draft, and Joel Silver, Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Rona will produce. LOBO is a co-production between Silver Pictures and Weed Road.
Ritchie will make the film his follow-up to SHERLOCK HOLMES with production begining early in 2010. I'm betting that it's a March 2011 release ala 300 and WATCHMEN -- we'll see.
Way to go DC/WB! Now, can we get an official BATMAN 3 announcement?!
DEADMAN Gets A Director Posted by:Jett @ 9:17 PM on 9/1/09
Now we're talking!
Danish helmer Nikolaj Arcel has been tapped to helm DEADMAN for Warner Bros. with Guillermo del Toro, Angry Films' Don Murphy and Murphy's partner Susan Montford producing the DC Comics adaptation.
Warner Bros. set up the project three years ago as a potential directing vehicle for del Toro, with Gary Dauberman writing the script.
Deadman is the ghost of murdered circus acrobat Boston Brand who has the power to possess the living in order to seek out his killer as well as to help the innocent.
Let me tell y'all, like Green Lantern, this is a DC propterty that I've long lobbied WB to give the "On Film" treatment. Here's hoping that this film pulls a "Jonah Hex" and actually becomes a film. >>> VARIETY.COM

Live-Action GREEN LANTERN In Trouble? Posted by:Jett @ 6:51 AM on 8/26/09
Good gosh I hope this doesn't happen!
According to INSIDE FILM, GREEN LANTERN's proposed Australian shoot is understood to be under threat after the rising Australian dollar has blown out production costs.
Warner Bros is understood to be negotiating with the NSW State Government to receive a higher level of concessions in an effort to claw back between $US15 and $US25 million in value eroded by the currency gains.
The value of the Australian dollar has climbed by more than 16 per cent since the State Labor government announced the deal to film at Fox Studios in mid-April. The big-budget Hollywood blockbuster was expected to create around 500 local jobs, including 100 performers and 200 crew.
While most offshore productions lock in finance when a project is green-lit, it is understood that ongoing work on the Green Lantern script delayed that move. Pre-production on the film was originally scheduled for July and filming for November.
Oh HELL no!
Like I said, here's hoping this doesn't mean that WB put GL in turnaround.
UPDATE: According to SLASHFILM.COM, GREEN LANTERN may end up shooting partly in and/or around New Orleans. Click on the link provided for the full story.

Seigels Win Superman Ruling Posted by:Jett @ 11:36 AM on 8/14/09
In a court ruling coming down on Wednesday (August 12, 2009), Judge Stephen Larson found that the Siegel family had successfully recaptured key rights to the character, including the first two weeks of Superman newspaper comic strips that lay out now-familiar elements of the mythology. The court ruled, for the most part, that the Siegels successfully recaptured most of the works at issue, including those first two weeks of daily strips as well as key sections of early Action Comics and Superman comics. This means that the Siegels, repped by Warners' nemesis Marc Toberoff, now control depictions of Superman's origins from the planet Krypton, his parents Jor-El and Lora, Superman as an infant, the launching of the baby Superman into space and his landing on Earth in a fiery crash.
However, Warners/DC still owns other elements, including Superman's ability to fly, the term "kryptonite," the villain Lex Luthor, Jimmy Olsen and some of Superman's powers.
How does this affect Superman comics and films? We shall see as I expect much more on this to come, no doubt. >>> HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM

More DC On Film Info Posted by:Jett @ 9:50 AM on 7/27/09
Yet another VARIETY.COM article on the status of DC on Film. Here's an excerpt:
Warner Bros. still doesn't have an overall strategy, even as it has firmed plans for the "Green Lantern" feature set for July 17, 2011. It recently put the glowing ring on Ryan Reynolds to star in the actioner that will be directed by Martin Campbell, two-time Bond franchise rebooter.
The studio has access to well-known characters such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and the Flash -- properties that have the potential to mint a lot of coin for the coffers of Warner Bros.' various divisions should a pic score with audiences.
The DC move would seem like a no-brainer. But it's easier said than done. Studio executives admit to being delayed by the writers' strike and then by the takeover of New Line. And WB toppers Alan Horn and Jeff Robinov would like the studio and DC to closely develop superhero pics together, rather than hand off projects to individual producers. They're also aiming for each division at the studio to time the release of everything --from licensed merchandise like T-shirts and action figures to exclusive DVDs, videogames and digital content -- to when a pic gets released in order to build up the tentpole's franchise potential.

Routh Done with Superman? Posted by:Jett Sunday, July 5, 2009
8:32 AM CENTRAL: According to THINKMCFLYTHINK.COM (via OMELETE.COM), Brandon Routh's contract for a SUPERMAN RETURNS sequel has come and gone. Now the interview with the latter site was translated by the former, it appears that Routh hasn't a clue about what's going on with the SUPERMAN series and admits that SUPERMAN RETURNS needed more action.
He also took a shot at BATMAN BEGINS for some reason saying it didn't meet expectations just like SR. True, Brandon, but BEGINS started slow and had tremendous legs due high marks from critics and positive word of mouth from the audience -- this was not the case for SR.
Look, I liked SUPERMAN RETURNS (though I do get why many didn't) and hoped for a sequel. Just kick up the action! Anyway, I thought Routh was an excellent Superman and here's hoping he gets another chance.

In a court ruling coming down on Wednesday (August 12, 2009), Judge Stephen Larson found that the Siegel family had successfully recaptured key rights to the character, including the first two weeks of Superman newspaper comic strips that lay out now-familiar elements of the mythology. The court ruled, for the most part, that the Siegels successfully recaptured most of the works at issue, including those first two weeks of daily strips as well as key sections of early Action Comics and Superman comics. This means that the Siegels, repped by Warners' nemesis Marc Toberoff, now control depictions of Superman's origins from the planet Krypton, his parents Jor-El and Lora, Superman as an infant, the launching of the baby Superman into space and his landing on Earth in a fiery crash.
