Did Alex Proyas really hate I ROBOT? I actually liked it quite a bit, despite the fact that it probably could have been much, much more. What was Proya’s beef about? Did he have a problem that they Will Smithified the film? Because that’s what it’s problem was.

Big deal. So it lands in the hands of another director.
And yes, they backed themselves into two corners. One being Norrid Radd’s origin might be interesting but not compelling. The other is that we will see a Big giagantic gladiator Galactus from the comics dissolve into a giant hurricane.

Gets my hopes up.

Maybe it would be a better idea to:

a) the SS spinoff meet Thanos and Adam Warlock;

b) Have FF3 [sans Alba] in space as SS thinks they can stop a Skrull invasion in the negative zone.

and

c) Alex Proyas can go on to do other things. and yes, he did get screwed on I Robot

T-Vo if you read the article I said “Fox will let the Fantastic Four franchise rights lapse, so Marvel films can reboot”

LAPSE> Means that if Fox doesn’t do anything with the franchise their rights to it will revert back to Marvel, and then Marvel films can reboot it.

Rodney,
How could Marvel Studios do a reboot if they don’t own the rights to the charactors? I was under the impression that Fox owns movies rights for X-men and the FF. Just like Sony owns Spidey.
I curious to know if Marvel Studios has anyway of getting back those movie rights? I’m pretty sure the fucktards at Fox would charge Marvel and dick and a leg to get thier franchises back

Amen; i really do hate the current regime at Fox. In my opinion, they make their blockbusters movies for teenagers, whom they assume, don’t like talky scenes and can’t take a movie that’s more than 90 minutes long.

I also just think that they have no respect for the actual source material of the comic book properties they have made to date.

question:

why do people want to make movies like catwoman and scarlet witch and antman? i mean what is it about hawkeye that makes him go under the radar here??
i totally agree- the surfers story is over unless they make a marvel zombies movie (lol yeah right) so hes done.

but why do people talk about such horrible characters getting movies when hawkeye is so awsome and important.

hes the one that gave moonknight his toys and hes the new captain america…and hes really awsome i can see him geting a movie AND a sequel because hes COOL and exiting unlike “antman”….who is just the same as goliath or hercules but without the heterosexual name…

and what with the avengers coming up….i say karl urban could be a good hawkeye or thomas jane
