What Comic Book Movie Do YOU Want To See?

[Ravenseye]

If you could pick any comic book, which one would you want to be turned into a movie?

I'd love to see Killraven turned into a movie. Anyone else heard of Killraven?

[semillama]

1. Transmetropolitan

of course, we are talking faithing in spirit and tone to the source material movies.

Warren Ellis' lines are meant to be spoken.

[Spider Jerusalem]

2. Personally...

I think Transmet would make a better HBO series than a movie (but that's just me).

[semillama]

3. yeah, you're probably right about that.

It's actually hard for me to think of what might make a good stand-alone movie.

Marvels, maybe, if done right.

13. I thought "V For Vendetta" would make a good movie

then I got this in one of Warren Ellis' ramblings:

The press so far on V FOR VENDETTA keeps saying it's about Germany taking over Britain after WW2. I assumed it was a persistent mistake based off one erroneous press release everyone was quoting from. But apparently a German film group has put money into the film, which is reportedly to be shot in Berlin. Which kind of makes you wonder what happened to the central thrust of the book, which was that Britain itself turned to fascism post-WW3, that whole twisted little ballet of ethics and politics and personal choice.

I'm constantly fascinated at how Hollywood can always find the hook of an Alan Moore work and then toss only that hook away.

Hmmm.

35. I saw the movie...

it was good, but the graphic novel was much better. I'm a quasi-anarchist so it was very disappointing that the anarchism theme was dropped from the movie.

4. Killraven would be cool

But I'd love to see P. Craig Russell do the art direction. Can you imagine?

[Ravenseye]

6. That would be great.

It would definatley be a unique looking movie.

Honestly, though not many people have heard of Killraven I think it'd be a perfect hollywood blockbuster movie.

Use the total digital CGI type setups like they did with Sky Captain so you can really make an astounding environment. Let Russell do the art direction.

A post-apocalyptic movie where humans are fighting martians.

I hate to do 'star' casting, but to truly make it a blockbuster you need a star. How bout Brad Pitt as Killraven?

[dwckabal]

5. Let's see...

Preacher
Y-The Last Man
The Books of Magic
Sandman
Ronin
Astro City
Invisibles

I could go on...

[Kire]

7. Who would play She-Hulk?

I'm thinking Halle Berry or Geena Davis. What about you?

[mac56]

8. Omaha The Cat Dancer.

Jill Hennessy as Omaha.

[mac56]

9. Green Arrow

The fan film trailer was very cool.

[Orsino]

10. Sandman

Ten flicks, one for each TPB volume.

[Dob Bole]

11. We need more DC movies...

This new Superman movie will suck (they should just do a Smallville movie) but Batman begins looks good. What about Flash and Green Lantern, though? Or Wonder Woman?

[semillama]

12. Sgt. Rock!

That would be a great movie.

[Dr Fate]

24. They talked about it years ago- with Ar-nuld as the Iron Major.

n/t

[Orsino]

14. Lucifer

In part, to watch the fundies squirm.

They're the reason why it will never be made.

Would love to see a Sandman treatment, as well.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

15. Watchmen. I'd love to see Watchmen done.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

30. Crap, you'd need about 30 movies to make Watchmen properly. -nt

[bkcc]

16. Preacher.

But it will never happen.
Why? Because the Heartland probably wouldn't be able to handle a drunken Southern preacher who has supernatural powers that he uses to hunt God (who, incidentally, has decided to quit his job as the Almighty).

That being said, I'd settle for a kick-ass adaptation of "The Dark Knight Returns".

[Spider Jerusalem]

17. Actually, it's been optioned.

Project has been in development hell for quite a while.

They apparently got as far as character design. Here's a shot of the mask/makeup they came up with for Arseface.

[bkcc]

18. Yeah. I've known about that for a while.

I doubt it'll ever happen...if it does, it's bound to be really watered-down. If I recall correctly, they were talking about casting Ben Affleck as Jesse Custer. Not very encouraging.

[Mojambo]

19. That's a pretty kickass realization of Arseface. n/t

[semillama]

20. I have to say, seeing that image and reading about the premise

made me go pick up the first TPB collection of Preacher. Wow! How awesome. great characters. You gotta love the hard-drinking Irish Vampire who seems to have a streak of good samaritanism in him.

[Kire]

21. Andy Capp

that would be the best ever

[OnionPatch]

22. The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

in "Grass Roots".

[gatorboy]

33. You're sorta in luck.

I don't know what the storyline is, but they are making a stop motion FFB movie. I saw a few shots of it and it looks pretty cool...

[solinvictus]

23. Hellblazer...

A real version true to the comic without the story being Americanized and turned into a Xtian morality play.

[Dob Bole]

25. Still have to wait a WHOLE YEAR until Superman Returns...

but it will be worth it! Almost 20 years since the last movie...

[DanCa]

27. Isn't it amazing that Superman one still holds up ?

That despite all the special effects the movie is still fantastic. See when you have Steak you dont need all the fixings.

[Broken_Hero]

29. Yes, its so true...

Superman and Superman II still hold up, III and IV, were dumb, and corny as can be, but the first two still hold up, as a matter of fact i just got done watching I and II this weekend. I still cannot wait until Superman Returns...I have a feeling it will blow, but i'm holding onto hope!...:)

[Broken_Hero]

28. I can't waith either!...

I am counting the damn days, I can't wait for all the toys and crap to start rolling out...:)

[Broken_Hero]

34. yep...

A little under 3 more months until it comes out! I am so juiced to see this flick. I have seen a few fan trailer teaser, and I get damn chills...I can't wait...dammiT!!! release the movie now!...:)

[DanCa]

26. Green Lantern would be awesome

Green Arrow would be a great tv show like smallville.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

31. The Flash

Suggestion for casting: Guy Pearce.

[WCGreen]

32. They are talking about that one right now...

Along with the Green Arrow and Lantern pairing....

[shenmue]

36. Elfquest.

[semillama]

38. If you aren't a;ready aware:

So, doesn't look like a movie anytime soon. but you can always hope...

[Mojambo]

37. Ex Machina

I hear it's being made into a movie, which is cool, but I think it would work even better as a TV show.
