Marvel continues to go hollywood...

[Steel X]

ever since "Blade", one of Marvel's first 20th century films, and "Blade" was quite an success so other movie companies are planning on other projects that are based on Marvel's superheroes. In summer 2000, 20th century released "X-Men" one of the most popular comic books ever in comics history and it was wildly an success, so Marvel is getting very popular in doing production with movies On May 3rd, 2002, Marvel and Sony Pictures released Spider-Man, one of Marvel's top favorite superheroes ever, and definetly turned out to be an success, and was number one in the box office and was over the top while Star Wars : Attack Of The Wars was in 2nd of summer's box office hits. On Feburary 14th, 2003, Marvel and 20th century Fox released "DareDevil", which was pretty good but didn't sell too well in the box office as "Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets" did. On May 2nd 2003, Marvel and 20th Century Fox released "X2" a sequel to "X-men" and it was number one in the summer's box office hits.

On June 2003, Marvel and Universal Studios released "Hulk", which everyone was wild and crazy about this upcoming film, hoping that it would be one of the best comicbook-based movies ever made in years to come...but...nope many of you have your hopes too high on this one...lol so "Hulk" wasn't as good as I expected this to be...oh well.

On April 16th, 2004, Marvel and United Artists (or Liongatefilms?) has released "The Punisher" which was on top of the box office hits close to "Kill Bill : Volume 2". The action was cool and all, but the story wasn't as good as I expected it to be...oh well.

On June 30th, 2004 Marvel and Sony Pictures are back into action with our loveable and kind hearted hero, Spider-Man, into the big screen. "Spider-Man 2" has been sold more than $40,000 during the opening day...and it was the biggest opening day EVER! It even defeated the budget over "Matrix Reloaded" and "Matrix Revloutions" that were released by Warner Bros. last year lol

Now, Marvel continues to be in production of other movies with other movie companies...about next year we may see "Fanastic Four" and "DareDevil 2".

I've only heard that DareDevil 2 would be out sometime in 2005, but they didn't say it for real but it was just an suggestion that it should be out anyway. But about Fanastic Four, they said it would be released into theatres next summer of 2005. Plus, Jessic Alba from TV's "Dark Angel" will be in it

Jessica Alba Turns Invisible
Plus, who might be Dr. Doom?

July 14, 2004 - The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that former Dark Angel star Jessica Alba will portray Susan Storm, a.k.a. The Invisible Woman, in Fox's big-screen Fantastic Four.


Alba reportedly beat out a number of actresses, including Rachel McAdams and Elizabeth Banks. She recently filmed a supporting role in another comic book movie, Sin City. Alba's other credits include Out of the Blue and Honey.

Fantastic Four also stars Ioan Gruffudd (King Arthur) as Mr. Fantastic, Michael Chiklis (The Shield) as The Thing, and Chris Evans (Not Another Teen Movie) as The Human Torch.

In related news, Ain't It Cool News reports that Ray Liotta (Narc, GoodFellas) may have landed the part of the villainous Dr. Doom. While Liotta may seem completely inappropriate for the role of the armored European dictator, AICN claims the FF script is good.

The film begins production next month in Vancouver under the direction of Tim Story. Simon Kinberg penned the script for producer Ralph Winter, Marvel Studios, 1492 Pictures, and Constantin Films. It opens July 1, 2005

Fantastic Four!? It's about damn time they brought it to theaters! I remember reading about it in 1992! They already worked on the movie, but something happened and it never made it to the theaters. Now, they're starting over with a whole new crew. This should be interesting!

 

[VamPyroX]

Yep, it was set to be released in 1994... but I don't know what happened to it. I'll see if I can find more information on it. There's one recognizable actor in that movie, Jay Underwood... The Boy Who Could Fly and Not Quite Human.

Wow, check the reviews. It received the most horrible review I've ever seen in my life! No wonder this movie never made it!

 

[Steel X]

I've never read the Fanastic Four comics, but they sure appear alot in the Spider-man comics.. The Human Torch and Spider-man sure make great allies lol

I like the Thing though...he's pretty cool.

I wonder if they would even make an appearance in future spider-man movies when Venom is there and that the Fanastic Four were responsible for finding the alien costume from outer space and stuff like that? eh it proably wouldn't make much sense if they won't do anything like that...would really ruin the movie if they don't put other characters of the marvel universe in it, you know?

just gotta follow the comics, so to make the movies feel good and feels completely close to the comics and stuff like that so it would be cool if spider-man has other allies with him in future movies...especially the X-men! :P

 

[Steel X]

Anyone familar with The Ghost Rider?

Yeah he's one of my favorites also lol

I heard that it would be set to be released in theatres NEXT halloween...but I still haven't find out who will play as Danny/Ghost Rider yet

(EDIT: wtf?? I just went to marvelcomics.com and was looking through some info on Ghost Rider and his real name is John Blaze?? what kind of gay name is that?!?! perhas it's a different guy, after all? )

eh I still have some Ghost Rider comics that were set back in 1995, and he appeared in one of Venom's own comicbook series, as well.

 

[Steel X]

speaking of Venom as he has run his own comics series for quite some time but then stopped around winter 1998...about just about now, he came back for a mini-comic series, but Eddie Brock wasn't in it...only the alien costume.

I heard from a friend of mine who said as Venom has started his own comic series, he might even start in a movie of his own, as well...surely everybody loves Venom as the top best villain against our hero, Spider-man. But I just can't say for sure if that would really happen. Heck, Catwoman was one of Batman's villains, and she started in a movie of her own! But Venom? that's something we have to wait and see later on lol

 

[Steel X]

I just wonder if Mysterio, one of spidey's popular villains, would make an appearance in future spider-man movies?

 

[BigSpike]

Yes Marvel was climbing up becoming better empire....DC Comics realized this their major character Superman and Batman isnt getting a big hollywood until Batman movie is being revivied...so they decide to do something new...I saw sneak peek picture of all fresh new Batman in his uniform it is real cool...now where's Superman....Superman movie right have been handing around to different directors and even few famous actors such as Nicolas Cage was offered...but turned down...so it reminded me of SpiderMan...my dad and I are movie freak..we used to received scoop of Hollywood Report every month...they keep talking abt movie of Spiderman SINCE 1985...it keep carry and the director admit this it is IMPOSSIBLE to make HIGH EARNING Box office if it were in 1985...James Cameron well known director for Titanic and Terminator part 1 and 2...he was pursing and doing script on spider man movie since in middle of 1990's but keep delay for pretty long...so the movie company got fed up and sold the script right of spider man to Sony Picture...It was handed to famous horror director of EVIL DEAD...it shocked me becuz I am concern if Sam will do damn good movie...he proved to us and did it!

Yes I am looking forward to Fanastic Four, Marvel delcared they will do Iron Fist too...Iron Fist is my old favorite character when Iron Fist used to partner with Luke Cage in 1970's in their own comic. Go Go Marvel

But Venom? that's something we have to wait and see later on lol

Todd McFarlane and David Michelinie who first created Venom as he made cameo appearance in Amazing Spider Man # 299. When Venom character became largely popular in late 1980's and early 1990's...Todd seriously consider of consulting with the movie industries to make Venom movie...but it was never existed...I saved the article this Todd McFarlane quoted in Wizard magazine long time ago...When Todd left Marvel...Venom was created in something more horror add more fang and add long tongue...the real original venom dont have any long tongue...he just have big teeth and is powerful figure as spidey had hard time to tame him! But I loved Mark Bagely the other well known artist who did awesome job on Venom, he made Venom look something more of realistic than make it too exaggerate as making look more horror....Venom is my favorite villian among Green Goblin. Venom is back in his own ongoing title...the his own title stopped in 1998 wasnt fact a ongoing title..it was mini series for example theres 3 part stories focus Venom then it end then wait other few months for new storyline in miniseries...understand? Right now is monthly series of Venom PAHHH!!!!!! He deserved it!!! Go Venom!

Hmm... maybe it's a similar story like the Flash. The first Flash was Barry Allen. Years later, a fan of his met with him in his laboratory. This fan was Wally West. He was then struck by lightning in a similar way as Barry Allen. He became the Kid Flash... and eventually replaced Barry Allen. Barry Allen disappeared into the future meeting another woman and giving birth to a kid named Bart Allen. This Bart became known to us today as Impulse.

Maybe, something like that happened to Ghostrider?

Let me explain...Johnny Blaze is original ghost rider this made first debut in 1970's Marvel Spotlight number # 5 it is very hard to find...it became popular so it went into ongoing series as volume 1. He had long war with his deadly villian as Centurion. He was long gone when his soul was snucked with Centurion...So Marvel cancelled his title...until Howard Mackie, well known writer (he also write stories on spidey titles too)...anyway Howard discussed with Marvel to revive Ghost Rider by create new generation of character...so it is how Daniel Ketch Character was born...Johnny Blaze returned in Ghost Rider volume 2 # 14...to stop insanity behavior of new Ghost Rider but somehow Johnny Blaze and Daniel Ketch worked out their difference as Spirit of Vengenace was born...but it was short lived series anyway...Marvel decided to axe the Ghost Rider family series and put to end...until in 2000's Marvel realize this popularity of Ghost Rider demands was arising so they revive it for third time but this time it is original character Johnny Blaze in new storyline something different get it?

 

[Steel X]

I guess so...well Dan Ketch seems like a pretty cool guy so it's how I know that character when I first read the comics back in 1995...about the part when Ghost Rider was assumed of murdering an off duty cop, and The Punisher and DareDevil were on the way to stop the swat team to stop them from killing Ghost Rider because he was just a "kid" and didn't mean it to happen on purose, you know? can't control his transformation and all...I thought the story was pretty good though

 

[Steel X]

I hear rumors that "Iron man" is in production and "Iron Fist" as well but what about the War machine? I think he's proably the coolest lol

 

[BigSpike]

Yes I knew this Iron Man is already in the development...Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage was the candiate to play as Tony Stark...it was expected to be release in November 2005...u should check it at:

http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808404573

Information on Iron Fist...the candiate is Ray Park...he is skilled martial artist, he played as Darth Maul and also did play as headless horseman in Sleepy Hollow. For more info on it check it out at:

[Steel X]

cool...but no offense, I thought Iron Man was supposed to be a black guy? eh maybe I'm talking about the newer Iron Man version...lol


I hear that "Dr. Strange" will also be in production, as well but I don't really know much about that guy expect he did make an appearance in an animated spider-man show long time ago... seems that he was a bad guy, but could be a good guy in some parts?

 

[Steel X]

here's a preview picture of the FF gang...

looks more like "X-men" to me...lol

 

[Steel X]

another marvel comics-based movie is already in production and will be released about next year...

Marvel and 20th century fox will release the DareDevil spin-off, "Elektra" starring Jennifer Garner, who did appear previously in the first "DareDevil" film will start in her own movie starring January 2005.

In "DareDevil" (for those who've already seen it) she was fighting against one of the most dangerous assassigns named Bullseye hired by NY's crime emperor, The King Pin, who've killed her father and she seeks revenge against him but lost battle and was in serious injury but lucky enough she survived from such a serious wound for some reason, and is still seeking revenge.

Ben Affleck, who plays as the blind lawyer and crime fighter of NY, the DareDevil won't make an appearance in her movie anyway...but I saw the poster of "Elecktra" and it looks pretty interesting.

 

[Vance]

I know it is not marvel but Sincity movie is in production right now. That's a movie I CAN'T wait to watch. Frank Miller is a genius artist/writer. If anyone don't know what Sincity is, here's pictures:

Bruce Willis will act as Hartigan and Mickey Rourke will act as Marv (7'0" 350 lbs tough of the toughest guy in the comic). I was exciting when they announce about Sincity but I was hoping that they will work on best serie: Sin City - Hell & Back in next movie.

cool...but no offense, I thought Iron Man was supposed to be a black guy? eh maybe I'm talking about the newer Iron Man version...lol

Nah, original creator of Iron man is white guy. He wore the Iron Man for many years.. and black man (I forget his name) took over for a while then Tony Stark got it back.
