zoux posted:We'll find out. I wonder if that means they'll be free to make stuff related to the three movie properties, especially since one of them is mid-franchise. Well, according to that news, Kick-rear end and Kingsmen are excluded, but he makes no mention of Wanted. Mark Millar posted:Kingsman and Kick-rear end have unique Hollywood deals elsewhere and aren’t a part of this particular acquisition, but those two fine men are toasting us in spirit from London and California respectively.

Now I'm curious, he'd announced deals for Chrononauts and Huck almost as soon as the first issues hit but nothing has come of either.

Spoil me please. I never read the book, what actually happens at the end of Wanted? My best friend made me watch the movie a lot, because we both had crushes on Angelina Jolie.

The book is also almost nothing like the movie. The comic takes place in a universe that is thinly veiled DC but where the supervillains all teamed up, defeated the heroes and then rewrote reality to make it that superheroes don't exist.

Millar seems like a better businessman than he is a writer. In fact I believe he dropped out of an economics degree so he could become a comic book writer. It still bemuses me that some of his earliest professional work was loving seven-page Sonic the Hedgehog strips.

I feel like if they actually got Urban it would be like Bradley Cooper in that Limitless TV spin-off, where he's more a very expensive recurring guest than the star. (Which is fine, just make Anderson the lead and you can still make a Dredd-verse show)

I think the guy just likes to work, it doesn't matter what format, and if he can get something steady, he'd be totally up for that.

When Almost Human was cancelled he said he wasn't likely to do more television because he didn't like being away from his family that much. But if it's a 10-13 episode cable show versus a 22 episode network show, it's probably an easier sell.

Rumor-mongering, and every comic news site uses clickbait titles exclusively, from what I've seen. And none of them seem to load on my phone properly without weird scam ads popping up.

He's clever, and seems like a great guy to hang out with at a party. He can write some good Superman or Fantastic Four, but he knows the more crude stuff is what gets you the big bucks.

http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/news/rob-sheffield-on-the-defenders-superhero-show-is-three-fourths-great-w496490 Rob Sheffield basically says that the Defenders treats Danny Rand as a douche that no one likes, which makes me strangely more excited about the series.

He can do one chi punch(Every 24h?) and struggles to defeat the most basic henchmen. (I know JJ isn't a punchymans series so it probably won't happen, just saying)

Hey Rhyno! I think this is the first time I've seen Welling admit it was him that nixed being Superman in the Smallville finale. http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/08/smallville-tom-welling-finale-superman-suit/ quote:Our series finale was supposed to be, in the first act, Clark puts on the suit and flies around, saves Lois on a plane, and does this other stuff. It was a call that I had with Peter Roth, who is the head of Warner Bros. Television, who’s a good friend of mine and we have a great relationship. I said, ‘That’s not our show, Peter.’ He’s like, ‘No, it’s going to be great,” and I go, ‘Yeah, but just think about what we’ve been doing. If we just jump into that, we haven’t earned it.’ If you didn't earn one goddamn episode of actually being Superman after 10 years that shows how lovely your show was. quote:We jumped onto this idea that at the end of the show, the idea is that Clark becomes Superman and he’s out there, and we know he’s out there, but we can’t go with him, but that we know and we feel good that he’s out there doing good. That was what we strove for, and I think we hit it. I liked the ending of the series, because it’s like, ‘Yes, he did it!’ I hope the audience didn’t feel like we didn’t show them something that they needed to see. I felt like we gave them the jumping off point for their imagination as to what could happen.” No, they needed to see it. I mean you teased for 10 years, you really need to follow through.

Yeah, the idea of the finale as the usual Superman-debuts-in-Metropolis bit is literally the perfect note to go out on, and the fact that he thought it didn't fit kinda says a lot about where his career went after that.

In a vacuum, I do get what Welling was saying. However, the show ran for a decade, to not show him in the suit after that long is a massive cocktease.

I always thought this was the case. It's funny how he finds a way to say "Look, I just didn't want to do it. I never wanted to wear that suit!". Which is fine, but come on dude, you wore the silliest jacket/fake superhero outfit ever!

I read recently that one mooted plan was to do five seasons of Smallville then end it and bring it back the following season as Metropolis, which would have been a full-on Superman show, but it ended up not happening. Is that true or fanciful?

Honestly the finale could've been a never before seen Christopher Reeves Superman film directed by Richard Donner and I still wouldn't have watched it. Anyone who cares how that show ended has their priorities screwed up.

The show was supposed to last 5 years or so, got sort of derailed by Superman Returns (they were building their own thing until they had to have their Krypton stuff in-line with Donner/Returns version) and then the show kept on going because it was popular, Supernatural-like.

In continuing the dunk on Tom Welling themequote:TV Guide also asked Tom Welling if he’d been approached to appear on the (Supergirl), just as Terri Hatcher, Dean Cain, Helen Slater, Erica Durance, and other actors with ties to the Superman/Supergirl franchise had been previously. Seemingly confused, Welling responded he doesn’t think the Clark Kent of Smallville “exists in that world”.
