[...] Jon Favreau had commented on how he doesn’t know if they can do Iron Man 2 so quickly as he felt he’d need a full two years to make the sequel just as he did the first. At the same time, Thor hadn’t even begun pre-production and it was rumored they were still sorting through script drafts – It wasn’t until September that they had found a director in Kenneth Branagh.

@ Gary

No way would I see a prequel/sequel to Watchmen..not even if Alan Moore wrote it and it was believable and picked one of the best 100 works of fiction of the 21st century…No way!!!

But seriously I would not be able to not watch it…It’s like forbidden fruit or something because even though you know it would probably blow badly it would be something you would have to see for yourself..

Great news, I love how the film will be prominently set in Asgard (much like how Captain America will be mostly, if not all set in WW2). Both films can nicely set-up origins for their modern debuts in the Avengers team-up film.

What I hope is that Thor will be very serious in tone – no Iron Man-type humour (As much as I love that film). I think it should have the feel of the series Rome, or the movie Gladiator. Very styled and serious.

As for Elf, I can’t think of too many Christmas films better than that. It’s one of the few times where I liked Ferrel.

“I don’t hate Christmas movies I though Elf was purely retarded. There was no intelligence in the humor at all and it seemed to be made to get laughs from 5 year olds or people with the mentality of 5 year olds.I mean I get that the burp at the dinner table and saying “Did you Hear that?”

We prefer to be called mentally challenged … meanie.

@Daniel

Oh it was not “retarded.” It was fun and purely innocent in its approach to humor. RottenTomatoes has it at rated at 7/10 and Metacritic at 6.5/10.

Not a home run but far from being liked by people with the mentality of 5 year olds.

On a side note, you really do need to work on your people skills. I just said I really liked it and you turn around and say it was aimed at people with the mentality of 5 year olds.

I mean, seriously dude.

Yeesh.

I’m not saying Dardevil was terrible I own it on DVD my self, but lets face it the movies isn’t among the best comic films. Not even top 5 or close to it. I can think of very many comic films to come out in the last 8 years that are worse.

You forgot about the mouse! (KAPOW!!)

I also thought Elf was pretty good and I have Daredevil on DVD. I also thought Ferrell did a good job in “Stranger Than Fiction”.

I *loved* Elf. Are you a Christmas cynic?

It’s actually the only movie in which I really love Will Ferrell’s performance.

“I meant to do was pick a terrible movie he made and put it with a less than stellar comic movie.”

I actually thought Elf was a good movie. Of course, I also liked Daredevil. (Ducks head to avoid keyboards thrown my way)

Meh you read it wrong or I didn’t explain my self properly. Either way mistakes happen. What I meant to do was pick a terrible movie he made and put it with a less than stellar comic movie.

“I couldn’t get the image of Elf out of my mind when I heard he was gonna direct and lucky for us it didn’t turn out like Elf meets Daredevil.”

Sorry, I guess I just read it wrong.

Umm I never said he directed Daredevil I was merely picking a very lack luster superhero movie to couple up with his terrible Elf film.

Wow. Now if Walt Simonson could write the screenplay, this could be a smash hit. Assuming KB comes on board for certain.

@ Daniel

Favreau didn’t direct Daredevil, he was merely an actor in the movie.

OT – I like the pick. Can’t wait to see some concept art. This could be very, very cool.

By: Daniel

Daniel — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:11:02 +0000

Not a very exciting pick, but look what happened with Jon Favreau he surprisingly was able to make Iron Man entertaining. I couldn’t get the image of Elf out of my mind when I heard he was gonna direct and lucky for us it didn’t turn out like Elf meets Daredevil.
