News On Future Films Based on Comics/Paranormal/Sci-Fi

Actually thought Wolverine was pretty good. Silver Samurai was pretty lame and I didn't like the sidekick chick but the central Wolverine story was cool.. Huge improvement from the first one
she was actually a REALLY important part of the early Wolverine comics.  I have the original series somewhere, but no way am I digging those out of the plastic for you *******

Yeah they used that kid that Moira was watching over and I believe Charles was telling her about a technique he knows where he could transfer his consciousness or something to that nature. Forgive me for the vague response, it's been a while since I've watched that film. I have nightmares of cursing juggernauts and underdeveloped cyclops' and shadowcats'
If im not mistaken didn't he transfer his consciousness into his twin brother's body---who was also brain dead..?

Maybe that would explain not really being able to walk

Finally watched it.

What is a cripple doing playing golf? :lol: (no offense to crippled ppl if there is some way to actually golf on a course, I aint never seen it).

CULVER CITY, Calif., December 12, 2013 – In a move to forge a new legacy in the story of Peter Parker on screen, Sony Pictures Entertainment, in association with Marvel Entertainment, is developing several new projects in the Spider-Man franchise, with Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Jeff Pinkner, Ed Solomon, and Drew Goddard to collaborate on overseeing the developing story over several films that will be produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, it was announced today by Doug Belgrad,president of Columbia Pictures, and Hannah Minghella, president of Production for the studio.

The five writers, along with the two producers and Marc Webb, have formed a franchise brain trust to expand the universe for the brand and to develop a continuous tone and thread throughout the films. Under the deals, the studio announced that Kurtzman & Orci & Pinkner are writing the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 3, which the studio hopes Webb will return to direct; the film will go into production next fall for release on June 10, 2016. In addition, the team will build on the cinematic foundation laid by Webb, Arad, and Tolmach in the first two movies. They will expand the franchise as Kurtzman & Orci & Solomon will write the screenplay for Venom, which Kurtzman will direct; also, Goddard will write, with an eye to direct, The Sinister Six, focusing on the villains in the franchise. Hannah Minghella and Rachel O’Connor will oversee the development and production of these films for the studio.

In tapping these five writers, the studio and the producers are guiding the future of the franchise with the writer/producers who have each played significant and key roles in developing such highly successful franchises, films, and series as Star Trek, Transformers, “Alias,” “Fringe,” Men in Black, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, World War Z, “Lost,” Cloverfield, The Cabin in the Woods, and Marvel’s upcoming “Daredevil” series.

Commenting on the announcement, Belgrad said, “The Spider-Man film franchise is one of our studio’s greatest assets. We are thrilled with the creative team we have assembled to delve more deeply into the world that Marc, Avi and Matt have begun to explore in The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. We believe that Marc, Alex, and Drew have uniquely exciting visions for how to expand the Spider-Man universe in each of these upcoming films.” Arad and Tolmach added, “This collaboration was born out of the great experience we and Marc had working with Alex, Bob, and Jeff on The Amazing Spider-Man 2. With more than fifty years’ wealth of stories in the comic books to draw upon for inspiration, the Spider-Man universe is truly boundless; in addition, the Spider-Man comics have the greatest rogues gallery of any series, and to have the chance to explore that on film is truly thrilling. Until now, we have approached each film as a separate, self-contained entity, but with this move, we have the opportunity to grow the franchise by looking to the future as we develop a continuous arc for the story. That is what Alex, Bob, Jeff, Ed, and Drew will do in this unprecedented collaboration, and we’re excited about the directions they are taking the character and the world.”

The most successful franchise in the history of Columbia Pictures, Spider-Man is embraced all over the world. The four Spider-Man films to date have taken in over $3.2 billion worldwide.

Spider-Man, Venom, The Sinister Six and other Spider-Man related characters are licensed to Sony by Marvel Entertainment.

I dont really get this criticism of it.  Had she not been in the story I would have had a huge problem with it because of the HUGE role that she played in Wolverine Vol 1.  Her, and Lady Viper were the two biggest elements in that arc aside from Wolverine himself imo

This is nothing new at all though. :lol:

Most projects shown at Comic-Con are already pretty much generally known and reported already. Like everyone knows there will be a MoS sequel but the surprise was Batman would be in it, everyone knows there will be an Avengers sequel but the big surprise is that the villain will be Ultron.

Their surprises tends to come with huge new casting or trailers, they need to hype it up before the film comes out like TASM2 coming out in June when Comic-Con is usually in July ( and like Apocalypse announcement hyping up DoFP) or just simply get people more and more excited about Comic Con.

Plus it does it really matter when and how it is announced? Unless you are there live in person at ComicCon, I don't think it'll make a big difference.
 
I just got to say, it is great to be a comic book fan right now isn't it? Hate them or love them but it is simply great to see these films on the big screen.


Marvel with the Avengers and their individual films, then even introducing lesser known heroes like GotG and making the Defenders on Netflix.

Fox with a new XMen that leads to Apocalypse, Deadpool, XForce and maybe even a Fantastic Four meet-up?

Sony expanding Spidey-verse to Venom and Sinister 6, which actually focuses on those villains.

DC/WB, even with their cluttered and unsettling method of going about their films is still exciting, it is great to finally see them expand to create a world for the JLA to exist.


And all seems to be taking the Marvel route of simply planning everything ahead of time so that we do not end up with a inconsistent mess like the current X-films.
 
Absolutely agree with RFX. I keep a list of movies that are upcoming and am all the way out til like 2018 with some of these movies, sequels, spinoffs, etc. I'm loving the direction everyone is taking. Not to say there haven't been mistakes along the way, but having all these films come out year after year, even with mistakes, is better than nothing coming out at all.

As everyone knows, there was a time that comic book movies were viewed as wastes of time and would never be mainstream in hollywood. Well.....now mainstream hollywood is beating down doors to portray these very characters. And will continue to do so for at LEAST the next 7-10 years.
 
Watching the avengers cartoon on netflix, this joint is dope!!!!!....can't believe they didn't think to use wasp, any man and black panther sooner....they are very dope.
 
Hank Pym is a huge part of the avengers, why havent they focused on his character?....i like his chemistry with Stark and the rest of the team in the cartoon and dude is the smartest of them all, makes Stark sound like a pre-schooler, so is Paul Rudd confirmed to play him?....and Rashida Jones confirmed for Wasp, after watching the cartoon they'll actually be great fits for the roles.
 
I agree with you both rfx45 rfx45 , C CP1708 .

Growing up reading comic books all day and collecting the comic cards and learning about all of these characrters and their abilities;
Watching the golden era late 80s, early 90s cartoons like Spiderman and X-Men on Satuday morning;
And especially after the disappointing way that comic movies started out; it is really gratifying to see some of the massive world that comic books create,
come alive on the big screen in a way where I can believe it, and lose myself in it, if only for a few hours.

they're focusing on making an individual Ant Man movie, so I guess they figured they would let that take precedence instead of inserting extraneous characters.  I have to believe that he'll be in the next movie since its supposed to be about Ultron

He should have been a primary just like cap, thor and stark...his movie could have been shared with wasp....better late than never but I'm excited to see him on film, also black panther is simply AMAZING
 
Also they sort of dumbed down Hawkwye in the movie, dude saves the avengers *** more than once...lol and has some major cojones.
 
^
There's only been one movie. I'm sure they'll give Hawkeye some shine in the future.
