I caught a commercial for the upcoming Thor movie last night. I'm not familiar with that character, and I don't think I'm that interested other than I don't mind blowing ~2 hours on super hero movies once they come out on disc.
I wasn't much of a comic book consumer when I was a kid. I picked up the occasional Batman/Superman/Spiderman when I stopped in for my Mad/Cracked, but the 'lesser' hero's are really only known to me by name.
So I believe we have Capt America, Wonder Woman, the aforementioned Thor and the Green Hornet films in the making.
I once worked with a guy who was a huge Capt America fan. He even had pictures and figurines on his desk (yes, he was IT). He tried to explain to me once that the back story is one of the better ones with that character, but my eyes glazed over and I started thinking about lunch.
So what hero characters are left? They already started splitting up the X-men by giving Wolverine his own movie...which I thought was pretty decent.
Is a Wonder Twins movie inevitable? :) Archie and the Gang? :gomer:
I saw a news headline that they are making full length movie of the 80's cartoon, Thunder Cats. I thought that sounds pretty interesting, but it turns out its simply a cartoon, not even CG.
I vote for early anime, like 'G-Force: Guardians of Space' (American adaptation of the Japanese, 'Science Ninja Team Gatchaman' series) and my favorite...'Star Blazers' (American adaptation of 'Space Battleship Yamato'), very dramatic for a kids cartoon although every show ended with the Wave Motion gun (a giant gun on the bow of a giant space ship) annihilating everything.
*update* I just read they are making a CG full length film based on G-Force called 'Gatchaman'.
Now that I think about it, updated versions of Johnny Sako and Ultraman have serious potential. :D "Robot! Destroy!!". But I digress.
