Really? They're going with that image by Jardinier	Jun 2nd, 2009 02:44:30 PM

from How To Train Your Dragon? by Jardinier	Jun 2nd, 2009 02:46:21 PM
I heard that when Chris Sanders came in, the first thing he did was a complete reversal of the butt-ugly angular designs the movie sported before he came aboard. Did I hear wrong?
Opening dates for all? by Darksider	Jun 2nd, 2009 02:48:34 PM
When they are that formulaic, it seems like it will be more rushed studio shit.
I Was Hoping For "IRON MAN 2.0" by Jonas Grumpy	Jun 2nd, 2009 02:49:30 PM
Or, at least, "TRANSFORMERS 2.0" I can't have everything, I guess.
How is Captain America... by jrummel	Jun 2nd, 2009 02:52:09 PM
opening in late July and not over 4th of July weekend?!? Do they not realize the combo power of America's holiday and America's captain?

Avengers in 2012... by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:19:28 PM
do we expect this whole "dorks are ruling the world" thing to last that long?
What? No poster yet for PAVLOV'S HOUSE? by Continentalop	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:23:05 PM
caruso_stalker is going to be disappointed.
Now its becoming a reality by shutupfanboy	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:27:37 PM
I want to like the Avengers' symbol. They defiantly are going with the Ultimates' theme which is ok. Ultimates always felt like the George w. Bush Avengers were everything is PR spin and they have no clue what the real threat is until it bites them in the ass. Hopefully, they will at least go with Hulk as the villain then team member when the real villain is revealed.
That's just a SHIELD logo, is it not? by DennisMM	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:34:44 PM
The Avengers, in the 616 universe, have been under the wing of SHIELD, to some degree, for at least a decade. Or is my addled brain mixing up history? Wasn't Peter Gyrich connected to SHIELD?
2012..even the Mayans knew Avengers wud'nt happen by the Green Gargantua	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:36:05 PM
I will walk into the theater, take my seat and before the room darkens an astroid will hit, Cthuhlu will rise, North Korea will nuke us with air born AIDS (and there will be Zombies.) ........and I will be thinking FUCK, I WANTED TO SEE THIS MOVIE.
This really isn't shaping up to be to appetising a year by seppukudkurosawa	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:38:56 PM
Just a whole lot of campy looking comic adaptations. Thank Crom for Scott Pilgrim.
Avengers/616/SHIELD by Nqalad	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:40:35 PM
Um..Up until Bendis the Avengers had a loose affiliation with SHIELD,but the New Avengers don't,The Mighty Avengers did for a bit,and the Dark Avengers are run by HAMMER.And I'm pretty sure that Gyrich was working for some branch of the government but I don't believe it was SHIELD proper.
Green Gargantua by Nice Marmot	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:42:51 PM
Those North Korean air born AIDS nukes will make you retardead.
Iron Man 2 by Trannyformers_Apologist	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:44:06 PM
I hope it is just as boring,lackluster, and overrated as the first one. Gotta love the final fight scene.... wow truly deserving of all the hype and praise.
I'm guessing Big Willy Smith by FUCK_YOU_GEORGE_LUCAS	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:52:03 PM
beat out Captain America for 4th of July opening weekend. What the fuck is wrong with this country?
Wow. by maelstrom_ZERO	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:58:46 PM
That Scott Pilgrim giant poster looks unbelievably awesome. Hopefully they sell a version of that later on.
What the eff is "Rango"? by D.Vader	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:59:29 PM
A cowboy story about a lizard that rides a roadrunner?
Iron Man/Iron Man 2 by Nqalad	Jun 2nd, 2009 03:59:47 PM
Iron Man was great up until it became Robot on Robot fighting.I loved it,but the last act falls apart.Hopefully the script is better this time.
Look at me! by DiggerNick	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:01:13 PM
I'm a AICN talkbacker. I will even bitch about a few pictures of some posters. I hate movies that are actually entertaining. I'm so indie that I only watch blank video.
Green Gargantua, that's hilarious by D.Vader	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:02:03 PM
And unfortunately, it will happen on my 31st birthday.
I hate all of you by DiggerNick	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:02:31 PM
I really do
Runaways? by BigDogg	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:03:10 PM
That was announced quite awhile ago but nothing about it up there. Guess it fell off Marvel's slate. Too bad, I would have LOVED to see that movie.
Maelstrom... by Nqalad	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:03:56 PM
Yeah,I want that.They don't even need to do any other posters.That should just be the one sheet.
BigDogg by Nqalad	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:05:25 PM
Doesn't it suck when they option the hell out of a shit ton of properties...and do nothing with them?Theoretically,we should have an Ant-Man movie,a Teen Titans movie,Supermax...etc,etc.Find a comic,I bet it's optioned,but the chances of it becoming a movie are slim to none.
This is what I get by caruso_stalker217	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:25:19 PM
For giving PAVLOV'S HOUSE a release date.
KNOW THAT THE END IS NIGH by the Green Gargantua	Jun 2nd, 2009 04:27:03 PM
Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Mighty Thor, and The Invincible IronMan are clearly the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Thats why I suggest an arm full of heroin and a Fred Flintstone size crack rock for while we wait in line. Nice Marmot & D.Vader are invited.
NEWS TEAM ASSEMBLE!!!! by thefrood	Jun 2nd, 2009 05:13:39 PM
Sorry... wrong film.
Comic Movies Will Not Last Past 2012 by Underoos Hero	Jun 2nd, 2009 05:49:02 PM
Mark my words. 2012 will be the end days for comic movies. Time for something else.
When did Spider-man 1 come out? by TheMarineBiologist	Jun 2nd, 2009 06:49:20 PM
2002? What year is it now? 2009? I'm sorry, but those of y'all that think that the "Comic Book Movie Craze" which started with the first Spidey movie will be DONE by 2012 are just idiots.
The Comic Book Movie Craze... by DiggerNick	Jun 2nd, 2009 06:57:08 PM
...started with x-men not spider-man. So it was even earlier than that.
Captain America casting news soon, yes? by YackBacker	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:04:17 PM
They announced THOR, so I'm thinking maybe we're closer to hearing about CAP than we may realize.
Still think Tahmoh Penikett for Cap by the Green Gargantua	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:09:52 PM
He is the dude, dude.
I'm guessing Captain America is a train wreck by IndustryKiller!	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:12:48 PM
and get's butchered witht he rush to get it out there without a proper script and what will inevitably be a pseudo-bankable but all wrong for the role star. And man tha film lives or dies on BOTH the script and casting being incredible, but if you think it's gonna happen you haven't been paying attention for the last, oh history of comic book movies or so.
Hey I second a Black Panther movie by D.Vader	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:14:05 PM
Why not? It doesn't have to be a huge tentpole film, but maybe on a smaller scale like Blade. And come on, he should be in the Avengers movie. For one, he's a cool character. Two, he's one of the few black heroes in the Marvel Universe that could carry his own film. And three.... yeah, the Avengers are gonna need a black guy in the cast. Oh wait, I guess they're covered with Sam Jackson... Point is, Black Panther movie should go ahead. Small superhero film. It can be done. And speaking of which, where's Luke Cage? And Iron Fist? These don't need to be huge spectacle films, you know. No reason to not make them.
Joe Johnston's helming Captain America, soooo.... by D.Vader	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:17:09 PM
I'm not too terribly excited. He's a good filmmaker, but no one I get super excited about when I hear he's on a new project. Great artist yes, and he's made some fun films and designed some classic films. But maaaaaan, I just can't muster up enough interest in his films based on his name alone. Hopefully The Wolf Man will get be more excited about Cap'n America.
Idris Elba as Black Panther! by Nqalad	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:18:58 PM
Damn Hollywood execs...if it's not a tentpole super hero movie,they don't want to make it.I would KILL for a Heroes For Hire movie. And does anybody else think Idris Elba would be a BADASS T'Challa?
Confirm Edward Norton for Avengers already...................... by crackerfarmboy	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:26:36 PM
I'm psyched about all of these films, but I truly believe that Thor will be the sleeper hit here. It's Kenneth Branagh goddamnit!!!!!!!
Comic Craze Actually (Re)Started in 1989 by rsanta74	Jun 2nd, 2009 07:53:48 PM
with Tim Burton' Batman. Apart from big kick to the nuts that the genre took with Batman & Robin in 1997, the superhero genre has been going on strong for 20 years. Marvel didn't strike gold until 1998's Blade. That gave them the confidence to push the genre into overdrive as of 2000 with Bryan Singer's X-Men. The rest is history. If, apart from a blemish here & there, the comic movie film has been a success for 20 years.... It just AIN'T going anywhere. Mayans be damned. =)
Don't they have some shrimpy guy playing by Rufferto	Jun 2nd, 2009 08:28:31 PM
Thor? If one of these movies bombs does that mean the whole house of card falls over it self for Avengers? O well, at least they stopped talking about Ant man.
no one will be casted over 30 for these by Rufferto	Jun 2nd, 2009 08:32:37 PM
I bet
Pitdoc... by ian216a	Jun 2nd, 2009 08:57:21 PM
.. many thanks for the pic of the Scott Pilgrim poster, coolest thing I've seen in ages. I fucking ADORE those books, probably my favourites since I first read Love and Rockets back in the 80's. And look at Knives Chau - she looks SO good :)
Black bolt and the Inhumans or by Nick91884	Jun 2nd, 2009 11:49:19 PM
Doctor Strange, or Thunderbolts! Any of these would be great. Maybe Sam Raimi could direct Marvel Zombies after the next spiderman film.
BLESSED IS ODIN!!! by BILLY_BOOMSTICK	Jun 3rd, 2009 12:09:57 AM
CHUD.COM is reporting that Brian Blessed is Odin in Branagh's Thor Although it is cited as being an unreliable source... hey, they ran it nonetheless :)
If they hire someone to play Cap who's NOT American by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jun 3rd, 2009 04:00:34 AM
Then I see no reason to even waste time with this movie.
yeah, ghostwhowalks by omarthesnake	Jun 3rd, 2009 08:40:39 AM
that would be like casting an American to play Sherlock Holmes.
AUSTRALIAN PONCE = 2x as tough as an AMERICAN PONCE by ironic_name	Jun 3rd, 2009 09:54:17 AM

I know nothing about Scott Pilgrim, but... by Kid Z	Jun 3rd, 2009 11:35:11 AM
... casting Mary Elizabeth Winstead was pure brilliance because she actually looks exactly like one of those big-eyed, pseudo-manga characters that apparently inhabit that book.
That dragon ain't got no arms by FeralAngel	Jun 3rd, 2009 11:42:31 AM
I can dig a dragon with no wings but a dragon without arms, man...that just ain't right. I think the dragon should have arms and he can just flap n' fly with those. "I just flew in from Los Angeles and boy are my arms..."
LOOK THAT JOKE HAS ALWAYS SUCKED by FeralAngel	Jun 3rd, 2009 11:44:08 AM
So don't blame me.
RoboCop?????????? by theoyboy	Jun 3rd, 2009 07:59:42 PM
No RoboCop posters at the licensing show? Isn't that supposed to be coming out next year?
EXACTLY, Omarthesnake... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jun 3rd, 2009 09:19:58 PM
Which is why I'm not wasting time or money on THAT obvious bomb, either. >:P
Ultimates by Toonol	Jun 3rd, 2009 11:13:20 PM
Put me down for hoping the Avengers movie has nothing whatsoever to do with the terrible, character-ruining, Ultimates.
Actually, the Comic Book/Movie craze started in..... by Kai_Mah'gra	Jun 4th, 2009 12:19:48 AM
......1978. That's right, Donner's Superman the movie with Chris Reeve basically marked the point when Comicbook superheroes first become an iconic pop-culture reference with the convergence of the genre with the newly minted Box-Office movie blockbuster phenomenon ushered in by Star Wars the previous year. Superman the movie remains the iconic comic book superhero movie, even after all these years (any wonder Spiderman and Superman returns used it as a template), and although the craze waned a little with the sequels post-Superman II as the studios tried to milk the franchise, it kept getting re-ignited every 10 years or so since then with Burton's Batman (1989), Blade (1998) and the resurgence last year with Dark Knight and Iron Man. Each resurgence seems to be followed by a period of tapering off, marked by the release of putrid sequels (Supes 3-4, Non-Burton Batmans, the X-Men post-Singer, Spiderman 3, Blade 3, along with a whole host of third-tier Superhero who don't quite cut it, sprinkled in between - 1990's Flash and Punisher, Daredevil, Catwoman, Electra). So, yeah, this comic book superhero craze has been going strong (with a few dips here and there) for a good 30 years now - as long as the existence of the Blockbuster, and as long as Nolan's next Batman, or Ironman 2 don't stink to high heaven, it should last long enough to get to 2012. Oh, and Geeks have been ruling the world since Bill Gates decided to drop out of Harvard and Steve Jobs stayed in his parent's Garage tinkering with toys instead of moving out and getting his own apartment - and I don't see them stopping anytime soon as long as you're logging onto the internets to respond to this Talkback.
"The comic craze" by WT	Jun 4th, 2009 03:54:01 AM
Yes, Superman is probably the template for comic book films, and achieves that difficult balance of both having a sense of humour without descending into camp. Burton's Batman was probably the first of the films to appreciate the complexity of Batman (plus Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne seemed like someone on the verge of cracking up!) Marvel themselves were embroiled for years in legal battles, which is why it took a long time for their films to come out. However, ironically it helped them as the level of CGI effects got good around that time. Also, thanks to Mystery Men in 1999 for taking the mick out of the Batman Forever style of comic book film. So good..."Lance Hunt wears glasses. Captain Amazing doesn't."
