Cliff Hanger 856 Posted September 13, 2015 So I felt weird talking about VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS on the "Upcoming Movies" thread, but you can count the number of DVDVR posters who care about that movie on one finger and there are other things coming that don't exactly fit into any of the major threads already extant but don't warrant a new thread, so.... Clive Owen has signed on for Valerian. I don't recognize his character name (Cmdr Arun Filitt) but I've only read the first 4 albums and seen the anime. Pretty much the only non-guaranteed things I want from AMC's Preacher (which will likely warrant a thread when it airs) are Jody beating a bear to death and an appearance by the Sex Detectives.

Matt D 10,493 Posted September 13, 2015 I am continuously confused by the existence of Lantern City. I think if they release press releases enough, they think someone is going to believe them or something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Austin 251 Posted September 13, 2015 Just found out they're making a movie based on I Kill Giants. I loved the story and glad it's being adapted. I hope it brings more folks to the book. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 8,640 Posted September 17, 2015 Are 100 Bullets, Bloodshot, and Tag still things? I haven't heard any news about any of those projects in forever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Hanger 856 Posted September 17, 2015 Valiant are still reminding people at every press event that Bloodshot is coming in 2017 from the John Wick guys, but we are now hitting the point where further lack of news starts to feel like a bad sign. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey 4,909 Posted October 2, 2015 HBO have had meetings with Zack Snyder about a Watchmen series. I hope it's a sequel series honestly, but it'll probably end up being a prequel if it gets made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Hanger 856 Posted November 2, 2015 Rihanna has signed on for the Valerian movie. I have never seen any movies she was in;is this a bad sign? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jingus 543 Posted November 2, 2015 Dunno, I (like everyone else) didn't see Battleship. Looking at her IMDB profile, that seems to be her only acting credit which isn't a cameo, a voice-only role, or playing herself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nate 4,679 Posted November 3, 2015 She can't even pull off "rational human being," so I'm not sure what the rest of her acting range may be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Hanger 856 Posted April 8, 2016 The Boys is coming to Cinemax from Seth Rogen's production company. I keep meaning to post the Valerian stills here; they look really slick, but don't feel like something Mezieres would draw. Considering the huge effect he had on the aesthetic of Star Wars and Fifth Element, it feels weird to adapt his work and drain it of his look. I want so fucking badly for this movie to be good, but Besson is hit-or-miss at the best of times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Unholy Dragon 776 Posted August 1, 2016 I just discovered Sacha Baron Cohen is leading a Mandrake the Magician film and I'm already dreading it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spritenaut 32 4,589 Posted August 1, 2016 I don't have any attachment to Mandrake, and I generally enjoy SBC films, but, yeah, that sounds like a horrible combination. My first thought after reading Dragon's post was "Burn it with fire. Someone else will have to do the deed, though. As a Green Hornet fan, I'm still tied up plotting unfortunate Seth Rogen's demise. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.T. 8,640 Posted August 25, 2016 So where are we talking about Guardians? It's not a comic book movie, per se, but it does appear to be a Russian rip off of Marvel's Soviet Super Soldiers / People's Protectorate / Winter Guard. http://screenrant.com/guardians-movie-2017-trailer-avengers/ One dude is Ursa Major with a mini-gun, that other guy is some sort of Winter Soldier / Vanguard hybrid, the blonde is a Black Widow / Invisible Girl / Darkstar pastiche, and then there is generic earth-bender telekinesis dude to throw you off of the plagiarism trail.

TheVileOne 1,867 Posted August 26, 2016 Probably doesn't warrant a thread but the new Tick TV pilot is on Amazon. It was alright, but I wasn't crazy about how they made it so dark and serious. Preferred the previous live-action show, but it still doesn't hold a handle to the animated series, which is still brilliant. Like I could not picture Sarcastro showing up in this series.

RIPPA 29,138 Posted September 1, 2016 Guardians was in the upcoming movie thread. JT was just too lazy to go back more than 3 posts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 8,640 Posted September 1, 2016 34 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Guardians was in the upcoming movie thread. JT was just too lazy to go back more than 3 posts I'm afraid you are in error, old man. My first post in this thread about Guardians is time stamped a day before Chester's in the Upcoming Movie thread. I just posted a link to a Screen Rant article rather than a YouTube vid because the trailer embedded in that article does not allow free linkage. At the time of the article, I did not see any YouTube trailers online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Hanger 856 Posted September 27, 2016 The Valiant Cinematic Universe isn't dead! But now Harbinger is coming before Bloodshot, both to introduce Bloodshot as a villain before he "wakes up" in his own movie and to capitalize on Valiant's press push for Faith.
