Michael, Wolverine isnt a sequel to X-3.
Its an origin story for Wolverine .
It takes place before X-3.

michael says:

i know i was saying the 4th movie that fox made pretaining to x-men

Gary says:

I am aware of that michael and I am saying
since it isnt a sequel to X3s story,
The fact That X3 sucked wont be a factor.

Well what does everybody think of the news that WB is now going to Reboot “Superman?” Do we get an Adult “Superman” now or what?

I’m seriously pissed off Old Man!
:-(
The lack of faith by WB, on the last Superman film is frustrating enough, I thought the film had some weak aspects but nothing the sequel couldn’t write around…
Now (if this is true) WB wants to reboot again ,,, no way will I sit thru another Superman Origin story ! NO WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No more reboots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t support this crap !!!!

Superman ends with me, if they reboot. I will resist and boycott the film !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamie is our resident Superman movie expert and he’ll be posting something this weekend. It WILL be a reboot but the “make it dark” thing is most likely just B.S.

What if in the first 15 minutes of a reboot they overlay a fight between Superman and a very powerful villain some of the Donner Origin, as going through Superman’s mind. Superman wins the fight the scene ends, we end up at the fortress of solitude, and start the real story. Would that be painless enough?? :)

790 says:

Ah, no Old Man sorry that wouldn’t cut it for me.

Its hard to believe that WB wants to make it darker based on the success of TDK.
Such simple thinking, its amazing they pull anything off.

the old man says:

Hey 790 do you think Routh and Singer are out or at this point, do you care?

790 says:

Sounds like there out and yeah I’m pissed off.
They should get another shot !!!

the old man says:

I can understand that. I wonder how they would handle the property given whats happened. Would they drop the son, send him off somewhere? What about de-powering him like in “Superman II?” He would lead a normal life as part of the White family??

790 says:

That’s easy Old Man, they (the writers) simply ignore the kid and make the film a total action story that takes place so fast that you don’t have time to think about the kid.
8-)

the old man says:

Sounds like a nuclear strategy like “dense Pack!”

Gary says:

I take everything said about a Superman sequel with a grain of salt at this point.
We have no confirmed director and no script.
So, I will just wait and see .
Nothings happened yet.

Caught “Chronicles of Riddick” on cable while flipping through the channels yesterday. The first time I saw this I was underwhelmed, guess I should have invested in the video game or the directors cut. However, what little of it I watched the other day made me wonder. Could a sequel do better? What does everybody think?

790 says:

Cronicles of Riddick was awesome!!!!!

I want more !!!!

the old man says:

Just finished re-watching the anime “Dark Fury” for those who never bothered, it bridges and sets up the first “Chronicles of Riddick story.” It’s too short a story, but I guess it gets the job done. Their’s some extras, interviews with Vin Diesel and the animators. Worth a few bucks if you see it in some clearance pile.

790 says:

Yeah I’ve seen that, just not in the bargin bin,,, lol.
I was really impressed with Cronicles of Riddick, sure hope they pull off the sequel !!!
Gonna try and see Babylon AD this friday !!! :-)

Rob says:

I actually loved Chronicles of Riddick as well, if it didn’t have that girl tempting the dude to backstab the emperor it would of been a perfect film for me.

Colm Feore FTW.

Michael, about the X-3 thing, Fox will market Wolverine so badly that it will force its own ticket sales up. Anyone remember Ghostrider? I had never seen so many commericials in 2 weeks in my life…then it all stop after its first 2 weekends, because by then it had made its money and everyone knew how bad it was, lol.

the old man says:

Twohy would have to come up with one h**l of a story because Chronicles bank was a little light. He needs top notch help with this. I wonder what Tobe Hooper is doing these days?

the old man says:

ooh, maybe I should have said Rockne S. O’bannon!! I must be tired..

790 says:

Old Man, you didn’t think Cronicles had a good ending for a sequel ???
Gotta be kidding me. ??? 8-)

the old man says:

It barely made more than it’s cost back is all 790. I thought the story was pretty good. Working in the run on crematoria was a turn on a theme that I liked. I hope he’s able to keep that going.
Where they go in the next movie is the question. Does Riddick explore the depths of what makes the movement tick he is now the leader of or does he walk away? It kind of reminds me of the end of the first “Conan” film. Great potential, however it’s so easy to ruin. The franchise can’t afford to slip into a “second act syndrome.” It must build momentum and use the writing techniques that break the syndrome. I thought of Rockne because of his “Farscape” experience. Can you imagine the steam these two working together could create? What do you think? Does a new age intergalactic Rome need a further fleshing out or should it collapse under its own weight, left behind by the main character to pursue an independent goal?
