This sounds like a debate for... Super Hero Mania - Page 4

" Besides, do you really think they would choose a so-so actor for a part in a potential blockbuster of a movie?"

Unfotunately yes, they could easily, just because there is such a push to get this movie made that I fear exactly that, not just the actor but script and even FX, the Hulk was decent in some ways but was a terrible dissapointment in many others, the X-MEN movies and Spider Man are much better but still seem to lack something. Contrary to most I really liked DareDevil, I think it helped that I thought it would blow chunks too.

Oh ya, they could easily screw it up, I just hope they don't. And they know we will go to see even if it does suck, which may mean a better sequal but thats not a chance I'd rather take. Its what happened with the Hulk, if the sequal does end up better.

I can understand some of the disapointment in Hulk, but it was never my fav. comic anyway. It didn't bother me that it was so so because I didn't have high hopes. Now if they did a ThunderCats movie, or a Modern Master's Of the universe, then I would have high hopes.

I just look at it as, whomever Writes/produces/directs this movie is not going to be a no one, and the money behind it is going to be some Paramount of a film company, so they will probably make sure it makes them the most amount of money.

They actually are making a new Masters of the Universe movie, so happy birthday to you.

*Jumps for joy* Wooooo yeaaaaahhh!

He-Man began life as Prince Adam, the hybrid of an Earthling and an Eternian. At the age of 18, he was taken to Castle Grayskull, where Adam received super powers. He-Man has a sidekick in the form of a tiger, Battle Cat, and a deadly enemy, Skeletor.

Yay, I got it to work, my realplayer was able to download the needed codec.

Anyone here fans of Frank Miller's Sin City, and familiar with the movie they are making for it? Bruce Willis is in it.

New Batman Begins trailer to be aired in theatres with the release of Oceans 12 on December 10, the teaser can be found online at the official Batman Begins website.

Nicolas Cage is currently not confirmed to play Ghostrider, though he is still in the loop, he was "cast" about 3 years ago but with many changes in scripts and crews he's worried they may have gone a different way then one where he would be willing to participate

And now he is again, so nevermind that.

Here's a link to a new pic of the new Dr. Doom played by Julian Mcmahon of Nip Tuck and Charmed
