Damn. And Morey Amsterdam's already dead, so that's out... ;)
Hal Jordan or John Stewart. I have nothing against Kyle, I just think the other two are way better.
A little skinny for the voluptuous Russian we know and love, but certainly pretty enough, and she can act.
Arte Johnson might be available.....
Actually, now that I go back and look at that pic Kent posted, Mila Jovovich would actually be dead on. Objection withdrawn.
I didn’t think my estimate of your smarts could get any better, Alouette, but it turns out I was way off. :-)
Tim Conway’s still working.
Hey, how about Conway and Harvey Korman as Cloak & Dagger?
A.) She's built.
B.) We already know she can do action sequences.
C.) She, too, can act.
I can see it. ;)
We really need Jonathan Winters, but he’s gone too....
You know, if I’d any idea whatsoever you were a fan as well, I’d have included you in the original PING... ;)
They did make a 2 hour live pilot for an "Aquaman" TV-Series. It really wasn't bad; worth watching. You can find it under AOL.vidio.com, and then search sci-fi-Aquaman.
If I had to choose, I’d give Hal the nod as a professional courtesy to a fellow Air Force vet.
I am counting on the movie enhancing my collection of “Tales of suspense” Iron Man and Captain America series from the 60’s and 70’s. And Iron Man solo.
The value has gone up better than any stocks. from 10 cents cover price to an average of probably close to $50 per issue, in just good condition over 40 years. Iron Man #1 in mint condition fetches $635.
Tales of Suspense #9 was the first appearance of Iron Man hits $685 near mint and $35 for good condition. Second appearance of Iron Man in #40 will fetch $140 in good condition and Mint condition a mere $3100.
I shouldn’t be telling this. Might make is more expensive to “aquire” more for the collection!
Think there’s any chance they’ll go back as far as the old Gold Key comics? I’d love to see a Magnus movie!
Yeah, I agree.
When they do the Avengers movie, it’s going to be a lot of fun watching them cast her and Wasp. Which brings up some other names...as I understand it, Marvel has a rule that all of the movie versions of their heroes exist in a separate continuity. So, what do you do with the Avengers? By the time it comes out, there will be a movie version of Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor and Captain America.
That.
Would.
So.
RULE. ;)
Wow...everyone on this thread should be a consultant for Marvel and DC’s movies! Good choices...
Black Widow would be great...in her 1970s black costume as drawn by John Romita...I have the Bowen statue overlooking my desk here. Classic!
Iron Fist...a great concept but could be turned into camp if the wrong directors get their hands on it. The origin story is rich, dramatic and movie-worthy.
Green Lantern...with CGI today this could be limitless.
The Avengers...as long as it is a classic version...not whatever it is today.
I’d also go for Cloak & Dagger (good anti-drug message), Thor (Simonson), Starman (Robinson), Moon Knight (Moench & Sienkiewicz, not the junk of today) and Cap (but I echo the fear that they’ll turn him into a whiny liberal...ala United Nations G.I. Joe).
I never thought I’d see the day when comics consistently translate successfully to film...I had given up hope after David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury.
Hawkeye. Black Widow (if there isn't already a solo flick by that point; otherwise, go with Black Panther). Vision. Quicksilver. Scarlet Witch. Hercules.
That's what I'd do, at any rate... but, given said team's ginormous membership roster, over the decades: that certainly isn't the ONLY viable lineup, by any means. ;)
DC properties and Marvel properties are currently apples and oranges in the intellectual property world as far as movies are concerned. As I understand it, Marvel owns all of its characters free and clear AND makes its own movies with its own production company.
That means it has every character it wants available and can use it as it sees fit in its various media. DC on the other hand is owned by Warner Bros who insists on controlling the film rights, and makes it so that various characters are tied up in licensing deals that makes it difficult to use them elsewhere. Thats why you'll reportedly see Tony Stark show up in the Hulk movie later this year, but Superman and Batman were mind-bendingly declared off limits for the JLA movie before it ultimately (and mercifully) was scrapped.
I also believe that this explains how we can get a note perfect Spiderman and Iron Man from Marvel, but from Warner Bros we're given the bizarre vision of Superman being an absent father to Lois Lane's love child.
