No argument here.

Don't know if this really belongs here or not, but I hear that Joel Silver has signed on to produce a new film adaptation of He-Man & The Masters of the Universe, with a plot outline rumored to take He-Man's alter ego, Prince Adam, and make him a soldier instead of a prince. Not sure if that's a good idea or not, but even as a longtime He-Man fan, I can honestly say I don't expect to see a new film version of He-Man. I can't shake the feeling that Hollywood will either screw up along the way, leaving the film in permanent development Hell, or even worse, they'll just give us a really crappy He-Man film.

Has there been any discussion on the rumored Justice League America film that Warner Brothers supposedly greenlit a few months ago, set for a 2010 release?

Bringing two topics together ("Watchmen" and "movies stuck in development hell") it looks like they're trying for a 2008 release for the "Watchmen" film, with Zack Snyder (who directed 300) at the helm. This test shot of Rorschach that was inserted into a 300 trailer for one frame looks rather promising:

And yet, on IMDb.com, Keanu Reeves is listed as set to play Dr. Manhattan. What the hell, Hollywood?!

That does look like a promising shot. I just hope it' snot true about Keanu Reeves as Dr. Manhattan. I don't dislike Reeves, but he's no Manhattan.

According to IMDb, there is a petition to get Doug Hutchison (from The Green Mile) to play Rorschach. Looking at his photo, I couldn't agree more:

He would look the part. A good makeup job would then make him uglier and we'd have a perfect visual. The question is whether or not he could act the part. I always imagined Rorschach with a creepily calm voice the entire time I read Watchmen.

And that is probably why he'd never get the role - it would be a casting decision that actually made sense. Hollywood seems to make less and less of those decisions now.

I feel the same way. I think the major studios are just snapping up the rights to whatever 'hot' cartoon/comic property they can get their hands on at the moment. There's even talk of a 'Thundercats' movie. But I honestly can't see any of them working as a live-action film - not even the Justice League...

The thing is, as soon as someone's screenplay is optioned, the media go on about how this or that film is 'in development', when really, the idea for a movie has only just been hatched.

Yeah, I heard about the whole 'Thundercats' as a movie thing. Thing is, movie adaptations of stuff like He-Man, Thundercats, etc., they need to be handled with a lot of care, we need like Lord of the Rings style handle-with-care, and LOTR was kind a stroke of luck for all involved. That kind of luck is very rare.

On top of that, you need a body builder type guy to play He-Man, someone at least 6'2", vaguely blonde hair, blue eyes, at least some degree of charisma, likability, etc. He-Man needs to look like a god among men, and love him or hate him, previous He-Man actor Dolph Lundgren had that god-among-men look to him. You can't just hire a guy around Brad Pitt's height, put him in loincloth and say 'this is He-Man'. That ain't gonna cut it.

Hey, anyone read those comics based on Serenity/Firefly?

The new suit redesign looks sweet. A real step in the right direction. Looks that much more like what a real Batman suit would look like in my opinion.

Is it me or does it have kind of a Robocop vibe about it?

Yeah. It's those rubber "armor" pieces. That's definitely not my favorite part. I just hated the full-rubber-suit deal from all the earlier movies. This goes more towards something functional looking at least.

If you got rid of the horns and the cape, it would look very Robocop-ish indeed. I think it's the new neck thingy.

I like it. It looks like something you could actually move and fight in unlike the previous Batman costumes.

Yeah, he can actually move his head a little bit! Does this mean the end of the infamous "Bat-Turn"?

Finally finished Watchmen this weekend. Wow! What a read. Exhausting, thought-provoking, beautiful artwork...the superlatives could go on a long time. The film will have to be handled carefully, as we've mentioned. I'd have to put this title slightly ahead of my all-time favorite, Dark Knight Returns, just based on the complexity of the story and characters, etc. I do believe Dark Knight's artwork and coloring were better, though.

BTW: Hutchison, the person pictured above...talk about an eerie resemblance to Rorschach. Perfect.

Wow. And there's not even a "Crisis" going on...that's usually when they choose to "off" a Flash.

You are very wise, Prism.

So, who saw the picture of the new Bat-Cycle for The Dark Knight?

I saw it. Looks cool. Whoever their production designer is should get a medal. Polished yet under-stated, as it should be.
