Will he fight a metaphorically produced Smoke Monster? by strongbadmonkey	Jun 30th, 2008 12:11:16 PM
Let the LOST loving talkbackers begin a long and pointless debate!!!
Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 30th, 2008 12:13:40 PM
would be a better movie.
i like the guy by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 30th, 2008 12:17:45 PM
and maybe its good that i don't know or care about the property, but its strange to me when these things get green lit before they are even written as comics. whatever.
Did someone mention pig fucking??!! by LordPorkington	Jun 30th, 2008 12:19:11 PM
Because if they did, then I'm your man! I didn't get my lordship by making friends with swine and other porcine-related beasts that's for sure...
My worry by VXXXJesterXXXV	Jun 30th, 2008 12:22:22 PM
Is since this comic series isn't even out are we going to get another Wanted? I watched and enjoyed the Wanted movie, but it had maybe 20minutes in common with the comic. Wanted was optioned and had an early script done by the time the 2nd issue was out. So what's the chance this barely resembles the material it is based on? I would prefer to see already established comics get the movie treatment since at least then there is a better chance of being more true to the the series.
wow, a hitman who has a change of heart... by TheSeeker7	Jun 30th, 2008 12:26:47 PM
Originality, thy name is Hollywood. /drippingsarcasm

"Rid the world of all assassins"? by Knuckleduster	Jun 30th, 2008 12:37:18 PM
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why not get rid of the people who hire the assassins? The assassins themselves are just immoral contract workers. They're not the real evil behind it all.
Sounds every other one these films. by JKrow21	Jun 30th, 2008 12:38:04 PM
I wonder how they'll slow down the bullet time this time.
Good! by INDIETHIS	Jun 30th, 2008 12:38:15 PM
One of the FEW shows on TV with very good actors involved - LOST - and thus - Glad to see Fox making a jump - well - onto the big screen.. the man can act. Hitman missed what cold have a been a great movie - acting good - script horrid - hopefully this movie will take the script seriously.
Ha. Nice photo. by buffywrestling	Jun 30th, 2008 12:43:24 PM
At least try Matthew.
Will it stay true to the source material? by Diagnostic	Jun 30th, 2008 12:45:00 PM
Hope they integrate the fourth story arc of this yet to be series.
Damn... you don't have to start adapting by David Cloverfield	Jun 30th, 2008 01:07:00 PM
everything with word balloons. Fucking comic isn't out! I don't understand. How can these things happen. I can see wanted happening, Millar is kind of a "superstar" and there was good buzz around the first issue. But I never heard about this till now. If we're talking image comics - Walking Dead, Invincible. They all had dozens of issues. Get cracking.
B Clay Moore? by The Funketeer	Jun 30th, 2008 01:38:45 PM
That means there's a good chance the movie will come out before the comic actually does.

Is the Man!
Well, I'll be fox fucked! by IAmMrMonkey!	Jun 30th, 2008 02:01:03 PM
Sounds.... like Assassins 2.
Well I'll be.... not giving a shit, frankly. by Gabba-UK	Jun 30th, 2008 02:16:56 PM
nothing against Fox mind you, he was one of the few reasons I stuck through Lost as long as I did before realizing it had no fucking clue what it was doing. But I mean really.... another hitman having an epithiny!!!!? When did fictional hitmen start getting all touchy feelly?
Matthew Fox was bad ass as Racer X... by -=Shin=-	Jun 30th, 2008 02:27:40 PM
Even if Speed Racer was too esoteric for most folks to get into, Fox was definitely the best part of that movie, and I'd love to see him tackle a popular superhero. He had such a cool, directed intensity in SR and could also laugh every once in a while - it made me think he would be a good Hawkeye or a slightly less innocent Captain America. (...Winter Soldier?)
Gabba-UK by nobletoast13	Jun 30th, 2008 02:51:30 PM
he was one of the few reasons I stuck through Lost as long as I did before realizing it had no fucking clue what it was doing.....Brace for impact!
I'm with Seth Rogen in Knocked Up in regards to Matthew Fox by PumpyMcAss	Jun 30th, 2008 05:00:12 PM
and I HATE fucking high-tech hitman movies. Mr and Mrs Smith? Hitman? Who gives a shit. The studio would be better-served to save themselves fifty-million dollars in the blow shit up real good budget and just have a simple story about an ordinary hit man who gets shit done. That's all you have to do. Have him be smart and brutal and efficient. He doesn't need to have 'splodey brief-cases and super secret bullshit agencies. He just gets told simply and plainly to kill someone and then does so with knives, guns, piano wire. Not flashy gayness. Seems simple enough. No speedboats, private jets, hidden fortresses. It's all super trite and kiddie friendly. Hit men are bad men who kill people for money. That should be enough to make them compelling without all the other bells and whistles.
Where's my goddamn Transmet series?! by gavdiggity	Jun 30th, 2008 05:45:02 PM
COME ON, Showtime! Actually, I have a hard time imagining Ellis giving the go-ahead for something like this, awesome though it would be...
gayest sandals ever by ArcadianDS	Jun 30th, 2008 06:41:16 PM
seriously, all straight men know better than to stick their hooves into those queen machines, right?
wtf? by RKO2285	Jun 30th, 2008 06:47:15 PM
there just making movies on comics that haven't been written yet?? eh... fox was good as racer x... who knows how this will turn out though..
Machete is the real hitman movie they need to make by Groothewarrior	Jun 30th, 2008 07:29:01 PM
his Harley has a gatling gun!!!
Thats one gay ass picture of Matthew. by GQtaste	Jun 30th, 2008 11:34:56 PM
I like him and all, but that pic looks like something out of Vogue or The Advocate.
It looks like the set of Miami Vice attacked him by CherryValance	Jun 30th, 2008 11:47:46 PM
in that photo. I like him though. I know Jack gets a lot of flak from LOST fans, but I really like that character. And, imo, he was the only good thing in SPEED RACER. And I really liked VANTAGE POINT. So yeah, more Foxy please. :) Only problem is that synopsis insinuates that his character will have to kill himself eventually. So they should edit that or something unless that's not what's going to happen and therefore not spoilery.
assassin's are wanted it seems.. by couP	Jul 1st, 2008 04:29:24 AM
plot makes no sense, how's he going to rid the world of ALL of them? by nuking them all?
gavdiggity by Bass Bastardson	Jul 1st, 2008 12:01:16 PM
The last I heard Patrick Stewart had picked up the rights to Transmet and wanted to play Spider. This was four or five years back though. Things may have changed.
Racer X spin off. Would like to see. by Dingbatty	Jul 2nd, 2008 12:34:12 AM
