Hmm.......I don't really like the tone of this trailer. It's like they arn't realy taking the concept that seriously. If your going to have a movie with a walking tree and a gun toting raccoon, you have to hard sell it to the audience.

Yeah, the trailer was corny and the humor is stale.

Clearly this is a movie intended for the current die hard comic reading fan base, because most of the comic related sites I browse that have any type of discussions about this movie is mostly people replying how excited they are about this movie. Especially the thought of Rocket Raccoon being brought to life on screen...:smt031


Of all the Marvel characters to get excited about he's one of the least that I would have expected.

Ok they have officially announced the cast for the Fantastic Four Reboot.

It is confirmed that Michael B. Jordan will be playing Johnny Storm

**Spoilers**


Playing Sue Storm is going to be Kate Mara from Netflix's House of Cards.
If you've seen the new season, then you know her schedule is clear.;)

I assume that Johnny and Sue are going to be step/adopted siblings.
They will probably have Johnny as a adopted son. However, It would be an interesting twist if they had Sue being adopted into a black family.


Anyway rounding out the cast are Miles Teller as Reed Richards(21 and Over) and Jamie Bell as The Thing (???)

I'm still surprised they changed the ethnicity of Johnny of all characters.

The only two I've heard of before are Jamie Bell and Michael Jordan. Hope they do a decent job in the reboot. I thought the first one was lame, but the Rise of the Silver Surfer one started to catch my interest again.

...and now to curl up with the latest Lord Baltimore series. Highly recommended.
 
Another great Helix episode. This show averages one double-cross every fifteen minutes. Love it. Will report back on the Robocop reboot as part of my Saturday afternoon study break. Now for a little Lord Baltimore and South Beach Tow (my guilty pleasure).
 
I guess NBC really wants a piece of that Superhero pie. They announced that "HEROES" will be returning in 2015.

I felt the original series was ripe with potential, but the writers/producers didn't trust the concept of the show. They were afraid to go full Comic Book.

Hopefully this time they go the route of George R.R. Martin's Wildcards anthology series which does actual comic book level story lines & threats (super villains, alien invasions, super gangs/mob cartels, secret global Illuminati type organizations etc.) but grounds it in the real world.

So Heroes Reborn is a 13 episode miniseries rather than a full on series it looks like from further info now coming out.

I'm pretty sure that NBC has an option for more episodes if the "mini-series" does well.

Hopefully they put in effort to draw in & keep people interested in the show as they did when the series first came on the air with whatever story line they go with in this mini series. I would love for the whole people with powers phenomenon be more widespread & global rather than a small handful of people that they focused on in the past. Focus on new people & circumstances and bring in some of the old familiar faces only when necessary to a storyline. Just my opinion however on the direction I would go.

Yes something like that. As I mentioned in an earlier post there is a successful sci-fi/superhero book anthology that's was created & is edited by George R.R. Martin, the guy behind the Game of Thrones novel series that works along those lines. They do stand alone stories that focus on previously introduced characters as well as introduce new ones & large scale tie together stories to add to the over all "shared world" feel of the series.

That seems to be a better way to go these days. We all get bored of the same characters every week for years on end. And I would love to see more characters that examplify how people would really behave with powers. I thought Chronicle was a fresh and far more realistic example of how teenagers who have newly developed powers might act.

Yes. The Wildcard Series works in a similar fashion with some individuals with superpowers using them in selfless ways & others for selfish reasons & power. The series timeline starts shortly after World War Two & moves forward to the present day and using actual real world events & attitudes in the process.
