Upcoming Comic Adaptation Movie

Lepas tgk Superman Returns yg lepas asyik2 nak cerita pasal superhero aje. This is because aku pun masa kecik2 dulu adalah pengumpul komik2 dari X-Men hinggalah ke Spawn. For me, komik keluaran Marvel lah yg paling cool. DC ni bnyk watak yg old-fashioned sikit. Komik baru spt Image (skrg dah tukar brand kot) juga mempunyai watak2 yg cool especially perempuan2nya yg dilukis seksi!

Anyway, here's some news about filem2 superhero/komik yg akan direlease atau yg sedang ura2 nak dibikin (entah keluar entah tak) :

Ghost Rider (Marvel Comic)

Filem ni bukan rumours lagi. Mmg confirm akan keluar tak lama lagi. Entahlah, tengkorak kepala berapi naik motor...??? Kita tgk ajelah nanti. Nicholas Cage will be Ghost Rider alongside Eva Mendes (super hot babes!). Director dia pun aku tak confident sgt sebab dia jugak yg direct film Daredevil.

Spider-Man 3 (Marvel)

Tak payah cerita bnyk la. Semua org tertunggu2 filem ni. Villain kali ni khabarnya adalah Venom, Sandman dan Green Goblin. Venom adalah yg menyerupai Spider-Man tp dgn custome hitam. Schedule to release in 2007.

Transformers

Director : Michael Bay, director yg hot dgn film2 action-packed yg action je memanjang dr mula ke habis. Ini lg satu project yg dah confirm dan akan release on July 2007. Dulu pernah keluar Tranformers the Movie somewhere in the 80's. Version tersebut pun aku dah kira hebat dan menarik. So for this 2007 version, I expect something yg lebih dahsyat!

Alien Vs Predator 2

Walaupun filem AVP yg pertama kira biasa dan average aje, kutipan yg diaorg dpt mmg menguntungkan. Inilah yg membuatkan mereka come up with the 2nd installment. Scheduled to release on Aug 2007 and still in production.

Wonder Woman (DC)

DC selalu melahirkan watak2 comic yg patriotik sikit. Superman bajunya warna bendera America. Samalah dgn Wonder Woman, warna tema pun merah dan biru. Dah lama jugak kita tak tgk "female" superhero comic adaptation. Last yg aku tau adalah the 'crap' Catwoman lakonan Halle Berry. Previous Wonder Woman adalah lakonan Lynda Carter. Rumours said that Kate Beckinsale adalah actress yg sesuai utk watak ni. In my personal honest opinion... Kate is the best choice...! It is still in production, so takde apa2 berita sgt kecuali Joss Whedon (Serenity) is currently writing the script.

Iron-Man (Marvel)

Release Date : 2008Director : Jon Favreau (Zathura)The film is about the story of billionaire weapons industrialist ‘Tony Stark’ who is transformed by a super-powered suit to become a crime-fighter. Rumours said that Tom Cruise is interested to play the role. In my opinion, Tom Cruise tak sesuai...! Pertama sbb dia pendek, ke dua, muka dia tak sesuai berjambang (Tony Stark in comic berjambang!). Tp...Hollywood can do anything la... Subject to change because it is still under production.

Incredible Hulk (Marvel)

Lagi satu ke...? Apa motif dia buat filem ni. Adakah kerana Ang Lee's version tak begitu berjaya...? Writer Zak Penn (of X2 and X-Men 3) is currently doing the writing.

Thor (Marvel)

Writer : Mark Protosevich (Poseidon). Tak tau bnyk tentang project ni, dan pun lambat keluar. Tapi Thor merupakan superhero comic favourite aku. Watak Thor ni adalah based on Nordic myth. Sekali dia hentak weapon tukul dia tu...bergegar2 bumi! Scheduled to release on 2009.

Fantastic Four & The Silver Surfer/Fantastic Four 2 (Marvel)

Director : Tim Story, the man who brings the 1st installment of Fantastic Four. Silver Surfer dlm comic adalah villain. Ada rupa mcm Ice-Man (X-Men) sikit but with surf board. So aku tak tau la mcm mana dia blend with Dr Doom yg juga akan appear utk 2nd part ni. Release somewhere in 2007.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Ha, ha...utk kanak2 ribena. Nantikanlah kemunculan filem ni. Dulu pun pernah keluar filem ni in the 80's. Walaupun target utk kanak2,tp i have to admit mmg menghiburkan! March 2007 kemungkinan keluar.

Wolverine (Prequel) (Marvel)

Aku difahamkan filem ni lebih bertumpu pada mcm mana Logan menjadi Wolverine. Dlm X-Men pun watak ni ajelah yg paling glamour menenggelamkan watak2 lain. So tak heranlah Wolverine akan keluar film solo nya. Even dlm comic book pun there's a seperate comic for him. Actor yg terlibat, tak lain dan tak bukan adalah Hugh Jackman. Writer : David Benioff, yg ada involve dlm filem Troy.

Batman Begin Sequel (DC)

Cast masih sama iaitu Christian Bale & Michael Caine, Director also sama iaitu Christopher Nolan (why change, Nolan is a great director!). We will see comeback of the Joker in this sequel.

Sin City 2 (Dark Horse)

Directed again by Frank Miller & Robert Rodriguez. Tak bnyk yg aku tau pasal yg ke 2 ni.

Captain America (Marvel)

Lambat lagi keluar, maybe around 2009. itu pun kalau jadi.Writer yg involve at the moment adalah David Self (of Road to Perdition, Thirteen Days and the Haunting).
