Youngblood was a title of an 80’s movie… and great would certainly not be the word for it.

[...] At the beginning of the yr, it was announced that Brett Ratner aspiring directing yet a different comic book movie, Youngblood. Naturally this wasn’t met with positive reaction, but as then, the only other major update we’d was that the screenwriters were half-way through finishing their first draft of the script. The few contingents we did find affected some of the characters we may see, one that we would not see, and the unique fact show elements would stylize the cinema – The Youngblood team are celebs who work for the authorities, after all. Today, we accept one more update for you about who Ratner prefer to* star in his film… MTV addressed with Brett Ratner and asked him if he accepted any ideas of what actors he’d like to play aside in the film. “Definitely Robert Pattinson from ‘Twilight,’… He just experiences like he belongs in this world. I don’t only see him as a vampire, he’s a actually good actor.” I wonder what consultation he’s trying to appeal to here. I believe what he means to say is that he deficiencies the large Twilighter horde to pay to see his film when it is acted – Perhaps to balance off some of the X-Men buffs who won’t be paying to see it. We don’t need to assume X-Men: The Last abide again, I don’t like looking backward on that. So, what can we expect from Ratner’s adaptation? “My vision for it’s: We’re attending make a very edgy, cool film… weren’t soft-peddling it in the least.” That’s good news I suppose, but what does it mean? How will the movie compare to the hardcore style of the book? It aspiring interesting to see Pattinson in a superhero role and what he coulded a major film and abettor script than he’s use to (if that were to actually happen), but I think Ratner’s throwing that out there for the wrong reasons. Agreeing to creator Rob Liefeld (he’s also the creator of Deadpool), the story of the Youngblood movie will center the relationship between the oldtimer of the group, Chapel and entrant, Shaft. My approximate is that Pattinson is being eyed for the role of Shaft, the bow-and-arrow captain pictured up top. We’ll let you know if we hear anything more on duty Youngblood.

I saw this headline and thought “Oh SH*T, they’re letting Ratner destroy a great 80’s movie!!” Ok, maybe not a GREAT 80’s movie, but pretty much better than what Ratner is going to do to ANY comic book movie. Oh dear God, I just hope I didn’t give the studios an idea for another remake….

“I still think Super Patriot was one of their best Mini-series…”

I agree and Dave Johnson’s art in the series was incredible.

Liefeld’s art and design was always so poor, I had no desire to look into his comics (and I’m not sure it ever really had a place, it was just new and people figured he would get better… sadly he never evolved).

I’m actually a bit shocked that the story sounds somewhat interesting… did he write the story?

Savage Dragon … movie… Hello? Hollywood? This might be a good idea?

I have to agree, Image was appropriately named because that was all they cared about. They didn’t name their company “Substance” for a reason. WildCATS was good. Savage Dragon was unapologetic in its violence and little dialogue. But that what’s made it work. It was not as pretentious as the other titles. I still think Super Patriot was one of their best Mini-series…

I feel sorry for anyone who works with Ratner….even if I hate the actor that played a “vampire” in “Twilight” its still sad for anyone to work with this director.

I’d go see this out of curiosity if nothing else. It’ll be interesting to see how Ratner handles Youngblood. Liefeld did have an interesting premise for the group. Imagine superheroes like celebrities — TMZ covering Shaft as if he were George Clooney or Paris Hilton. Thats certainly a deviation from the typical superhero movie. It might be fun. The interest in Pattison is understandable. Marketing. Personally, though, I think Savage Dragon would make a much better film — although harder to pull off…

Ummm,I think they did that idea already with The Fantastic 4,so no,not original,nor interesting..

@SK-47

The only reason why Spawn was so popular was because the artwork was so colorful and vibrant.McFarlane’s artwork is good,but for from great and his writing sucked like a Dyson.That’s why he brought in a slew of writer from Alan Moore to Chris Claremont,to help fix the crap of a story that he started.

I hate to admit this,but when Image was formed,that’s pretty much all they cared about,the image of the art and not the actual stories,because most of them weren’t very good,and they all were pretty much some sort of reflection of what that artist was doing at Marvel beforehand.

Liefeld was doing X-Force at the time,but was developing a new Teen Titans book for DC,but when that fell through and he and the other creators left Marvel,he made them as Youngblood.

It’s not even the source material. Liefeld’s Youngblood was cool for it’s time. His art work aside, it was a good book. Now Bret Ratner doing the film?! Has anyone seen X-Men 3. Keep him away from comic films.

@INK… I’ll admit that Liefeld’s style has seen its day come and go, but it did have its day. Kind of like 80’s hairstyles. haha

“Liefeld has a very weird way of drawing characters.”

Yes … it’s cooled “poorly”.

Not to mention the tiny, tiny, tiny feet.

AHHHHHHH! Get these Liefeld memories out of my head!

Liefeld has a very weird way of drawing characters.
And he adds in a lot of pockets/pouches, I guess at the time it was something neat.

Okay, even if Mr. Montone does pull off a fun & good performance from the Rat, it is STILL a pass for me. I have the comics, I am fine with that.
Also, out of the Image titles, Youngblood really wasn’t that good. WildC.A.T.S was far better, Spawn was the pinnacle, Savage Dragon is much better. In fact, I would love to see a Savage Dragon film than Youngblood.

Rat, you gets no moolah from me! Take your “edgy and cool vision” and blow it out ya bumhole.
