Iron Men to remake HIGHLANDER
Looks like we have another remake of a genre cult classic to look forward to. Art Marcum and Matt Holloway---scribes of Iron Man---have been put in charge of getting a script together for a remake of Highlander. Summit acquired the rights to remake the 1986 cult classic from Davis/Panzer Productions. Peter Davis, one of the original producers of the 1986 film, will also produce the new version of the film.
The original film, directed by Russell Mulcahy, starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown and went onto launch a franchise of films and three television series.

Tropic Thunder REDBAND Trailer
Downy Jr in brown-face A REDBAND trailer is for adults only - it is unrated or rated R, so you have to confirm your age.
Supposedly Tom Cruise has a cameo in this (playing a fat, bald, and exteremy vulgur character) that has been getting rave reviews from those who have seen it.
Plot Summary: Ben Stiller says "Tropic Thunder" is a "a comedy about five actors who go on location and find themselves relying on their boot camp experiences when they get stuck in a real war-like situation." Black will play Jeff "Fats" Portnoy, an overweight gross-out comedian, who's forced to kick his drug addiction while filming on location in the jungle. Downey Jr. will play Kirk Lazarus, the greatest actor of his generation and a four-time Oscar winner - who happens to have DYED HIMSELF BROWN TO PLAY A BLACK CHARACTER IN THE FICTIONAL WAR FILM. Baruchel will play Kevin Sandusky, an unknown actor on the set and Stiller plays Speedman.
Tropic Thunder hits theaters Aug. 15, 2008.

Sam Jackson as The Octopus
Comic Con International's Spring 2008 issue features a cover shot of Samuel L. Jackson in his role as The Octopus from the upcoming Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT.
The big screen adaptation is being directed by Frank Miller (SIN CITY). The film also stars Gabriel Macht, Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Paz Vega, Jaime King, Dan Lauria, Stana Katic, Johnny Simmons and Louis Lombardi.
The story centers on a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris (Paz Vega), a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and Morgenstern (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop. Then of course, there's Sand Saref (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him? In the vein of "Batman Begins" and "Sin City," "The Spirit" takes us on a sinister, gut-wrenching ride with a hero who is born, murdered and born again.
THE SPIRIT will hit theaters January 22, 2009.

GI Joe Characters
A bit of backstory has been released about an important character, Destro:
Born in Callander, Scotland, Destro is Laird of Castle Destro in the Scottish Highlands. The Destro clan has designed and sold weapons for centuries, and Destro is the head of their current incarnation: M.A.R.S. (Military Armament Research Syndicate). He wears a mask forged from Beryllium Steel, a tradition dating back to the English Civil War, when an ancestor of his was caught selling weapons to both sides. Forced to wear a steel mask for his crimes (neither side wanted to execute the ancestor because they still wanted the weapons he sold), the Destro clan has since turned it into a symbol of pride, passing it down from father to son for over 20 generations.
And here are some character pics:
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as HeavyDuty
Chris Eccleston as James McCullen Destro XXIV aka DESTRO
Sienna Miller as Baroness

Marvel Movie Round-Up
After the huge succes off the Iron Man movie last week (2nd largest non-sequel movie opening ever, behind Marvel's other mega-hit Spiderman), Marvel has annouced plans for:
Iron Man 2 (April 2010)
Thor (June 2010)
The First Avenger: Captain America (May 2011)
The Avengers (July 2011)
This all connects, starting with the introduction of SHIELD in Iron Man (and the little Samuel L Jackson "Easter Egg" after the credits). The Avengers consists of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc and Jackson will be Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD. Been wanting to see Sam Jackson in that eye patch for a long time . . . in 2011 it should be Full Fury!
Marvel also has The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton coming on June 13, an Ant-Man movie in pre-production, and Ray Park (X-Men, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace) set to star in the Iron Fist film.
DC was lame for that terrible Superman Returns flick, so I hope Marvel kicks ass with these films. If they keep hiring actors like Downey, Paltrow, and Norton, these flicks should propel comic-book movies to the next level. (In DC's defense - Batman Begins was great and I am greatly anticipating The Dark Knight)

The Verdict - IRON MAN
When director Jon Favreau chose Robert Downey Jr to play Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) in Marvel's big screen adaptation of the iconic hero, many people balked. The studio wanted an actor ten years younger (Downey is 43) and fans didn't know what they wanted. To Jon - GREAT CHOICE. Robert Downey Jr is exactly the Tony Stark that I have been reading about in comics for 20+ years. Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper Potts is also spot-on, Terrence Howard is great as always, and Jeff Bridges shines as the villian. Most people think a super hero movie is all about the effects - and the effects here are truly amazing - but this one is about the characters, and it greatly raises the bar for comic book movies. The summer movie season has arrived!
Iron Man marks Marvel Studios' first independently produced film - after Spider-Man and X-Men made so much money for Fox, Marvel decided to produce movies on their own. With a $100M US opening ($201M worldwide), and an Incredible Hulk movie on the horizon, Marvel Studios is set to become a juggernaut of movie making.
I walked out of this one hoping they get the sequel going asap (for those who know, Howard's character gets his own suit of armor and becomes War Machine in the comics, which is definitely alluded to in the film - as is the involvement of SHIELD, which leads to The Avengers).
When you go see this one, SIT THROUGH THE CREDITS, and you will see how Marvel is preparing for their huge Opus - THE AVENGERS MOVIE.
Bravo! This movie kicks ass.
