Ok, now everyone knows that I’m a fan of the Superhero Genre of films… but this is one I think they should just pass on. Hollywood North gives us this:
Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man is currently in script development as a major motion picture. The character, bio-scientist ‘Dr. Henry Pym’, debuted in Marvel Comics’ “Tales To Astonish” #27 (1962), as “The Man in the Ant Hill”, who discovers a liquid that evaporates into a gas, reducing a man to the size of an insect.
Inhaling the fumes Pym shrinks in size, scurries along the floor and soon finds himself trapped in an ant hill. Eventually he returns to his normal size, deems the formula too unpredictable and locks it away. In “Tales To Astonish” #35, Marvel editor Stan “The Man” Lee re-introduced Pym as the superhero Ant-Man, able to shrink to the size of an ant, while retaining his full-size strength.
Ummm… can you say “running out of ideas”? This one makes me real nervous. I hope they can it before it gets too far.
