Zeg, waar tover je dit vandaan?

quote:

Ghost In The Shell
Earlier this year, Spielberg was angling to make the first non-CGI version of the post-cyberpunk anime series that features Motoko Kusanagi, a female cyborg fighting technological crimes in a future Japan (what are the odds the locale will change?). The project is being developed by Dreamworks and Marvel supremo Ari Arad.


Namor: The Submariner (aka Submariner)
Originally with Chris Columbus, this Marvel Studios tale of the Atlantean wing-heeled hero has had *Angel*'s David Boreanaz attached for some time. Central character Prince Namor will be caught up in an ecological war between the land-dwellers and the sea-denizens whose habitat they have polluted. Jonathan Mostow is still said to be attached to the project.


Iron Man 2
7th May 2010 and the wait will be over for Downey Jr. to rocket upwards for a sequel to the smash hit 2008 Marvel Studios' debut. Terence Howard's replacement by Don Cheadle (see *The Avengers* above) has caused a stir, but we're all pleased that Downey Jr. has signed on the dotted line up to *Iron Man 3*.


Nick Fury
Jack Kirby's streetwise S.H.I.E.L.D supremo was a huge hit in a guest spot with Samuel L. Jackson at the end of the credits for *Iron Man*, and many are hoping that Jackson will return and make the film that *Shaft* should have been.


Thor
Kenneth Branagh was entranced by the classical tale of Marvel comics' Norse god with a big hammer, which remains without a leading man (Daniel Craig turned it down). The film is slated for release 16th July 2010. Check out our interview with *Thor* comic writer Marko Djurdjevic here.


Sin City 2
Frank Miller returns to helm the sequel to the stylistic 2005 hit. Based on the GN story "A Dame to Kill For", Clive Owen reprises his role as Dwight McCarthy to take revenge on (a rumoured) Rose McGowan, an ex-lover who makes an unwelcome return to his life.


Sin City 3
Miller is slating the second *Sin City* sequel to cover the 'Hell and Back' story featuring ex-navy SEAL Wallace, a vigilante character that Miller says was based on Johnny Depp, though the actor is not officially attached to the role.


Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam (aka Captain Marvel)
The Captain Marvel character is awfully close to Superman in capabilities, and the scrambling for 'dark' properties for superhero movies could have moved this project even further down the roster. *Get Smart *director Peter Segal is attached, and in his defence was talking about a 'darker' character well before *The Dark Knight*'s release and box-office supremacy.


Green Lantern
Ryan Gosling has been hotly tipped to wear the green ring of power in the movie of the DC comics verdant hero. The script is said to be good at the moment, and producer Donald De Line confirmed is enthusiasm for it. The fact that Green Lantern is more a suit than a person (worn by a series of fictional characters) takes the pressure out of casting a franchise in a octor Who*/*James Bond* -style.


The Green Hornet
Hong Kong martial arts cinema God Stephen Chow is set to direct (post-Kevin Smith) and play sidekick Kato to Seth Rogen's Hornet in an adaptation written by the pair in association with *Pineapple Express* co-writer Evan Goldberg. Since the production is set to be pretty 'straight', the casting of corpulent Rogen has caused some curiosity.


The Flash
The film of DC's lightning-fast sprinter seems to be tying its shoelaces at the moment. Likelihood seems to be that the *JLA* movie is confusing the issue in a way Batman never needs to worry about, so it could be quite a wait for Wally West to get moving. ark Knight* producer Charles Roven concedes that there has been no progress on the project.


R.I.P.D.
This tale of holy cops patrolling the afterlife in the 'Rest In Peace Department' is outlined as part of a seven picture deal between Dark Horse comics and Universal. Associated *Wedding Crashers*director David Dobkin will probably get round to this before getting
anywhere near *The Flash* (see above) as it would be trading in a less crowded market and for less cash than *Flash*.


Jonah Hex
DC's scarred confederate officer of the old west was firmly based on Clint Eastwood's 'Man with no name'. It's therefore a daunting mantle to assume, and obvious candidate Josh Brolin is hesitant to take it on. Thomas Jane would take the role in a heartbeat. *Crank* franchise director Mark Neveldine is at the helm, and with a 'two-face'-style hero and a very dark ambience to transfer to film, it's an attractive proposition right now, listed as being in pre-production.


The Ark
Described by creator Mark Verheiden in 2007 as "a big science fiction story", the original tale received a very limited run at Dark Horse comics, and notions of it having been written as a spec-GN for a movie have been bandied about. Columbia don't seem to have moved much on the property since the 2007 announcements.


Super Max
More green goodness, with a Green Arrow sent to a super-Prison and bent on escape. Another superhero project abandoned by Kevin Smith (see *Green Hornet* above), this currently rests with ark Knight* writer David S. Goyer (* Hack/Slas*h's Justin Marks also produced a draft screenplay).


Freedom Formula
Radical comics GN depicts a *Robocop*-style future where corporations rule and purpose-bred racers compete in tournaments with 'Vicious Cycles', exo-skeletal armour shells giving the wearer Iron Man-style powers, and depicts the story of 'Zee', the 'Neo' of this piece determined to bring down the whole corrupt system. Bryan Singer is producing the movie.

Akira
Leonardo DiCaprio disappointed many fans of Katsuhiro Otomo's 80s manga strip by declaring that he won't be in this, though his Appian Way production company has set SFX wizard Ruairi Robinson to direct. The title character is a child of God-like powers who may have started the third world war that decimated the 'Neo-Tokyo' that biker gangs skirt round. *Blade Runner*-tastic. Appian Way are also developing...


Ninja Scroll
Another anime outing that DiCaprio is producing but not acting in, Ninja Scroll is set in feudal Japan where a ninja must fight eight demonic entities. *Watchmen* writer Alex Tse will be helming when he's done with the new script for Ray Bradbury's *The Illustrated Man*.


Battle Angel Alita
Yukito Kishiro's 1990 manga about an amnesiac cyborg trying to recover her life and survive in the margins of the 'scrapyard' remains slated for a James Cameron 2011 adaptation despite Avatar having dominated the headlines, though there's some confusion about the project's status. Like Avatar, the project is intended for dual 3D and straight release.


The Avengers
Slated for a prime summer slot on July 15th 2011, this is set to be one of the most highly-anticipated movies of the next few years, directed by Jon Favreau with Robert Downey Jr. firmly signed to it as Tony Stark/Iron Man and new 'Rhodey' Don Cheadle attached too. Marvel Studios are financing and Paramount distrubuting, as usual. Rumours are obviously rife regarding casting.


The First Avenger: Captain America
*Jurassic Park III* director and effects guru Joe Johnston is slated to direct the tale of the New York fine arts student who takes a super-serum that soups him up for action against the Nazis in WWII America.


Spider-Man 4
*Shrek 3* and *Robots* writer David Lindsay-Abaire is the latest esteemed scribe to get involved in Spidey 4 after the early draft of *Zodiac* writer James Vanderbilt. The usual speculation about potential villains is rife, with Carnage and Lizard rumoured. Sam Raimi confirmed his involvement this year.


Superman: Man of Steel
Despite profitability, Bryan Singer's 2006 Donner-loving reboot/sequel *Superman Returns* inspired little studio confidence for a franchise run, and many - including Mark Millar (see link in *War Heroes* above) have been seeking to completely reboot the franchise. Brandon Routh is not as out of the picture as many think, it seems, and neither is Bryan Singer. But how far will they have to reboot the franchise to get Superman off the ground again?


Justice League: Mortal (aka Justice League Of America)
An early 2009 start date was cited in August 2008 for the film depicting a super-assembly of DC heroes including The Flash (Adam Brody). Green Lantern, Batman and Wonder Woman, with George Miller directing. Evidence of active pre-production has set tongues wagging further. Australian model Megan Gale is strongly hyped as Wonder Woman, though there's no casting association with the beleagured *Wonder Woman* movie (see above).


Runaways
This Marvel comics original finds teenagers fleeing to make up the sins of their parents, who they have discovered to be covert super-villains. A finished script is expected by early 2009 and *Runaways* is said to spearhead Marvel's post- *Avengers* strategy.


Ramayan 3392 A.D.
Mandalay pictures are producing this adaptation of the 2006 GN, which tells the story of legendary Indian warrior Prince Rama, a reincarnation of Vishnu. The original Indian epic has been moved to the kind of post-apocalypse setting currently so bankable in Hollywood.


The Leading Man
Effectively a combination of *The Saint*, *Jason King* and *The Persuaders*, Nick Walker is a globe-trotting superstar actor who - Elvis-like - does some serious spying on the side. *Wanted* producer Mark Platt is hoping for more comic book gold.


War Heroes
We discussed the absurd speed at which his comics are made into films with Mark Millar in our recent interview, and his latest work is no exception, with his tale of enhanced supersoldiers sitting currently with *Ghost Rider*producer Michael De Luca.


Sleeper
Holden Carver - known as 'The Conductor' has absorbed the ability to transfer pain inflicted on him back to the source, making him a useful intelligence operative. Presumably, then, the torture scenes will be refreshingly short. This project produced by Sam Raimi is currently beguiling Tom Cruise.


Buck Rogers
John Flint Dille's swashbuckling, future-dwelling astronaut is set to fly again with a new production from Avi Lerner at NuImage/Millennium. The project still needs a studio and a script.


Hard Boiled
Frank Miller is set to helm the movie version of his own graphically violent 1990 graphic novel, where a tax collector called Carl Seitz discovers himself to be a Terminator-style cybernetic assassin. *Spirit* producer Deborah Del Prete is also on board.


ZMDs: Zombies of Mass Destruction
*Underworld* creator Kevin Grevioux is set to launch a new supernatural franchise with the intriguing story of military-bred zombies who are dropped into enemy territory at night but have been designed to dissolve at daybreak, but - wouldn't you know it -one of the crusty critters fails to oblige.


North Wind
Boom! Studios tale of antarctic apocalypse is being brought to the screen by *Eureka* producer Andrew Cosby. North Wind centres on those who have survived a new ice-age and are determined to rid themselves of the tyrant who has risen from the chaos to rule them.


Wonder Woman
Possibly the most controversial piece of casting of the decade, there are a million forums alive with speculation as to who will play DC comics' Amazonian warrior, though Jessica Biel is looking hot right now. Errr. Anyway Joss Whedon's wasted two years on the project are further indication that no-one really knows what to do with such a cheerful character post-*Dark Knight*.
