ufarn posted:I just hope they ease on the CGI and use some costuming for friggin' once. Directors have grown so lazy with supernatural movies. Honestly, I'd be pretty disappointed if the dream world wasn't a pastiche of film making styles. Same with the other dimensions, realms, etc. Live action, CGI, animation in all it's forms, costuming, rotoscope, whatever. As long as it fits the mood or theme of the scene, and it's not on earth, use any and all techniques. That said, I don't know if an actor with only one previous directing job would have the chops for that kind of movie. Would prefer to see someone like Aronofsky tackle it.

I don't want Goyer, I want a light-hearted Sandman! Truth be told I would love either an Aranofski or a Tarsem Singh directed Sandman movie.

Singh would be great, because he wouldn't be required to write a script guaranteed to be an absolute mess.

Endless Mike posted:Yes, Sandman was a work for hire series and lots of the characters were well established before the series. They have something of a gentleman's agreement with Gaiman on using the characters he created for it, but I don't think there's anything contractual.

But they don't because unlike Alan Moore they have a chance in hell of getting to put Neil Gaiman's name on more books.

Gaiman also writes screenplays, so he will likely be a co-writer as well.

There's a Twitter user named Roger Wardell who's been posting Marvel rumors on and off for a while. In the past couple weeks he's starting piling out loads of Avengers 2 rumors surround Ant-Man, The Mandarin and Ultron. Here they are spoilered, the whole thing is summarized at this site http://theculturednerd.com/2013/12/avengers-age-of-ultron-will-be-filled-with-time-travel-an-ultron-army-and-the-mandarin/ Roger Wardell posted:

Edit: Apart from Loki, marvel don't reuse villains. I don't see why they would start to now. Especially in a movie with a plot that would melt the average movie-goers brain.

There's always that segment of fans that absolutely cannot accept anything slightly different from the source material, which is ridiculous considering how much that source material changes itself to begin with.

Yeah, that one's pretty dumb and misses the point but it's not aggressively terrible like the Mandarin is Skynet or whatever that's saying. It is so comic book fan to have a film with a very specific theme and complain about it because the badguy wasn't like in the funnybooks, which is what the film is criticizing in the first place.

It's weird that Iron Man 3 was the Marvel movie that caught the most flak for deviating from source material when it was also the first one that really went Full Comic Book in terms of "let's just lob a punch of weird nonsense at the audience and expect them to roll with it", which I really loved it for. comics nerds Its awkward pacing would be a more legit complaint if it didn't gel so well with the "Wow Tony is a hot mess" narrative.

I am not a huge comic reader (at least not in the area of things below) but it doesn't seem that awful or impenetrable to me. Not that it is the best route, but part of the confusion might be his tweet wording... "Mandarin" is a biological entity that can infect/control other living things. [Avengers 2] Mandarin uses AIM's Extremis serum as a way to propagate virally, controlling people who were injected. Who knows about the origin of Mandarin the bio concept. Killian goes crazy trying to resist the infection while Trevor doesn't. In my head I imagine Trevor becoming the "Mandarin" like the symbiote makes someone into Venom, although maybe not visually. [Ant Man movie] In Ant Man's flashbacks, Pym creates software which he sells to AIM that is the foundation of the Ultron AI. Mandarin uses modern Ultron to infect technology in the same way it can infect biology. Ultron and Mandarin take over the world, ultimately Ultron alone. It masters time travel, goes back in time to mess with Pym and creates closed time loops Groundhog Day style to copy itself. Pym also gets put in a time loop, but the Collector rescues him, be becomes Yellow Jacket (?), breaks the Ultron copy-loop and gives the Avengers a window for victory. [A2 the end] ^ This part confuses me because Ant Man comes out after Avengers, so how would A2 be "won" without the audience having Ant Man story input? The tweets also mention "The Vision" and Stark, so maybe some of Ant Man will be Avengers 2: What Really Happened. Avengers stop Ultron once he can't copy himself infinitely. Scott Lang becomes Ant Man in the present or something. It sounds pretty dumb to type it out like that. But if it's at all accurate and they can pull it off (the biggest hiccup to me is getting the audience to accept Avengers 2 backtracking over IM3, and AntMan backtracking over Avengers 2 while both being effective standalone) it could make for some pretty neat movies.

The Mandarin being the linchpin of the entirety of phase 2 sounds completely ludicrous to me. Obviously Kingsley is going to show up somewhere else, but I really loving hope that isn't the case.

I really don't think "And that's why Tony narrated the whole thing to Bruce" is going to be some major loving plot point, especially since there are no further Iron Man solo movies on the horizon.

Isn't Ant Man supposed to largely be a stand-alone film with an emphasis on the action-comedy blend that it's director typically does so well? I thought it wasn't intended to have any strong ties to other Marvel films.

That Avengers 2 nonsense is as legit as everybody mysteriously "knowing" the post-credit scene to Days of Future Past like 5 minutes after X-Men: Apocalypse was announced and mysteriously knowing nothing else about Days of Future Past.

The guy just goes too far into detail. It'd be one thing if he made a much more generalized prediction like how he has it on good authority that Mandarin will play a role later on or that Mandarin and Ultron are related, but with dozens and dozens of smaller, exact predictions he turns it farcical. To believe him, you'd have to believe that he is either Kevin Feige, or that he has access to complete scripts for several movies that are years away.

I could almost, almost, almost see it if the Avengers are huddled together in a meeting room or something, going over the files, mission review or whatever, and they start talking about how the next big threat is the Mandarin. Tony pipes up with "The Mandarin wasn't even real. He was a figurehead meant to spook governments into behaving. He was an actor hired by a mad scientist to play a roll of foreign terrorist. I took him down using all my super Iron Man toys and blew up the real criminal mastermind behind it all. It was on TV. That's the magic picture box, Cap. He's no threat and he never was." *Ultron roars onto the screen* "RAWR! The Mandarin lives! I am his vassal! I will destroy all of humanity! RAWR! Mandarin!" *Iron Man blinks a few times* "OK, guess I got it wrong." Unless that happens, this is just really oddly specific fanboy speculation.
