75 comics being made into films

I'm not going to post the text found at the link, as it's fairly large (it IS 75 different movie titles, release dates, and short descriptions of where they are in production). And, when viewing the release dates listed...keep in mind that several of those are speculative or best-case scenarios (honestly, Iron Fist has been "in production" since before X-Men, so I tend to doubt even 2012 as a release year. And the Magneto movie is NOT coming out next year). But this is a pretty good article to give you an idea of where various movies are in their production status. Also has a few random anime/manga-based movies (Ninja Scroll, Akira).

Only BIG downside is that they aren't in any sort of real order. So you'll have to skim to find out if something you're waiting for is being worked on.

I'd be worried with anyone else working on a Ghost in the Shell movie, but Spielberg's on it, so it should be good.

Runaways might be good. Doctor Strange would only be good with del Toro working on it. Nothing else too interesting that I didn't already know about.

Spider-Man 4, Iron Man 2, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine Look good.

Nick Fury (2010)
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.

All I can say to that is: Hell to the Yes! Samuel L. makes almost anything cool. If he returns, sign me up!

I'm up in the air in regards to Battle Angel, Akira and Ninja Scroll. Are these films really necessary? Granted, I'm not the biggest fan of any of these works (I've only seen Ninja Scroll in its entirety) but I don't see the point of producing any of them. Akira has a following, but I really don't know if the others do.

Ghost in the Shell looks promising. I'm hoping it turns out well. Work your magic, Mr. Spielberg.

Wolverine and Magneto are musts. Not too sure about Spider-Man 4, though; I'm still trying to get the taste of number three out of my mouth. (Pass the Listerine, please.)

Still on the fence about GI Joe. I may skip it or just be a wank and see Revenge of the Fallen yet again.

And Buck Rogers? Seriously? Color me intrigued.

Runaways - Love the comic series and would definitely see the movie.

The Avengers - Definitely anticipating this one.

Iron Man 2 - First pwned and hopefully this one will too.

Nick Fury - Samuel L. Jackson just seems like it'd be an awesome Fury.

Red Sonja - That's a comic? I had no idea. Saw a movie with that title that had Arnold Schwarzenegger. It was amusingly corny.

X-Men Origins - I'll watch both.

Thor - He amuses me so I'll watch it.

The First Avenger: Captain America - Gotta prepare for the Avengers movie so I'll see it.

Silver Surfer - Could be interesting. Though I'm wondering if it'll be a sort of sequel to the FF movies or a new Silver Surfer.

Spider-Man 4 - As long as it's better than the last one.

Superman: Man of Steel - As long as it's better than the last one.

Justice League: Mortal - Definitely want to see a JL movie.

Green Lantern - I like the GLs so I'll watch it.

The Flash - I like the speedsters so I'll watch it.



What's up with no mention of the Doom Patrol movie? X(

I've heard Battle Angel is a pretty sub-par manga/anime to begin with.

I've never read any of the Battle Angel manga but I've seen part of the OVA. To say I was underwhelmed would be quite an understatement. (I actually got up and walked out towards the end of Rusty Angel.) So yeah, I'm not seeing this as a good choice for a feature film.

As for Ninja Scroll, I've seen it in its entirety (both as a fan-sub and official release) but it didn't exactly "wow" me. I don't know if it really has a large enough audience to justify a theatrical film. Some of these choices just seem really random to me.

 

[MondoTR]

I watched part of Ninja Scroll and didn't care for it either.

Iron Man 2 - First pwned and hopefully this one will too.

I was excited, bur since they dropped Terrance Howard I've lost all interest.

Spidey 4 .... As long as they don't fuck it up. 3 would've been great if sandman had've been the main villian, and eddie brock's character was just developed with venom to be in 4.

Is The main cast gonna come back?

Nick Fury?....With Sam Jackson?.....Made of WIN!!
