Wolverine ditches marvel and heads to Virgin Comics? Jackman to head NOWHERE MAN!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I know absolutely nothing about Virgin Comics' NOWHERE MAN, but now I know Hugh Jackman and ELI STONE co-creator Marc Guggenheim will be bringing it to the big screen sometime in the near future. Here's what Variety has to say about it:
Story was being kept under wraps, but Jackson's Seed Productions partner John Palermo said it features a protagonist reminiscent of the one Will Smith played in "I Am Legend." The concept is a futuristic world where mankind has traded privacy for safety, a premise that sprouted with Seed, Virgin CEO Sharad Devarajan and chief creative officer Gotham Chopra.
"This is our first comic, and we feel the concept is transferable to other arenas, perhaps first as a videogame, and then a movie," Palermo said.
Not much info there, but hopefully it's a fun flick, if it ever happens.

But at the moment I still think that Jackman is cool, so bring it on.
-
The few Virgin Comics I read we're not very good. I hope this one turns out to be fun.

Will this movie touch the greatness that was Children of Men. No fucking way. That being said, I like me some Jackman, so I am officially down for this, as long as it doesn't turn into some 1984 rip-off. They'd better have something NEW to bring to the table.

What? Archer and Armstrong? No..Nowhere Man? What the fuck is a Nowhere man? Don't you to have a comic book out to get an adaptation of it made? I dunno but Magnus Robot Fighter wore a skirt. We all know it's true.

Glad they gave the material some time to mature in the eyes of the viewers before tackling it again.
-
Awesome name.

I think it starred Rufus Sewell playing a terrorist enforcer in Northern Ireland. A really nasty messed up movie about the troubles. They will need to call it something else to avoide copyright issues.
-
We are doing that here in the US everyday. Shame.
-
Haven't read it yet, but seeing that there is only one issue out and some cornhole has already bought the rights. Fucking Superhero movies are the new thing, I mean just look at the list of movies coming out this weekend?

I told my roomate about it, and he knows nothing of comic books. But he made a VERY good point. He said, "You know what would be a good idea, to just by the first issue of every comic book that comes out. Because why not, say it becomes huge a couple of years from now you can sell it for a lot more then you paid for it." Now I am no comic book guy, in fact I am just getting back into comics, but though I am not sure how many new series start every week, but I wonder if that really is a realatively smart idea or just dumb?

He and that show sort of rules (ruled)
-
Wasn't it?
-
because I only watched the first five episodes of the TV show upon which this movie is NOT based.
fyi - I stopped watching the TV show when the main character discovered his whole life was a TV show, and that the producer was spying on his life completely at random, because it looked interesting.
quite possibly the worst hour of writing since the invention of Cuneaform (not that I have anything against Cuneaform but clearly, had the individuals responsible for our first recorded written language realized it would eventually lead to that episode of Nowhere Man, they probably would have hung themselves. -
Enjoyed that show immensely back in '96. Picked it up on DVD last year and loved it just as much as before. Now if whoever has the keys to UPN's vault would just release Strange Luck, I'd die a happy geek.
-
I wouldn't say it's a dumb idea, but it isn't going to work... because everybody else has the same idea, and 1st issues sell twice as many copies because everybody's buying them up, hoping to get rich.
The money is in buying things nobody thinks will ever be worth much, like "the first appearance of squirrel-girl in issue 72 of Captain Fonebone." -
Goddamn that show was awesome. That and American Gothic were the watchers back in the day. Not sure how the last one holds up now, but I'm pretty certain Nowhere Man still rocks ass.
-
Kind of says it all, doesn't it?
-
was really great. I look for Bruce Greenwood in everything ever since the show went off the air. He's always solid.
-
I forgot what I saw it on but he was talking about his son doing comic book stuff. Maybe it was that Iconoclasts with Mike Myers.
