Some other comic-book related movies in pre-production or currently shooting:
*League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - With Sean Connery playing an opium-addicted Alan Quartermain (ala Alan Quartermain and King Solomon's Mines). I talked to Mr. Connery last fall and was told about this before it was announced to the public. This is his first movie since Finding Forrester and if they stay true to the comic (which is only a couple years old) it should rock!
*Hulk - Directed by Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Might be cool but from some of the things I have heard Mr. Lee is fucking around with the story. When someone makes a comic book story shouldn't they leave the original origin story alone? The story being good is usually why people get interested in the project anyway. Those Hollywood bastards just can't leave well enough alone.
*Hellboy - I am really excited about this because I know the guy who created, writes, and draws Hellboy (and I have the original art of his origin from the first book on my wall
) . This could really rock if it is done right. If you have no clue who Hellboy is visit
