"Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with yet another DC adaptation in the works. Last week SHAZAM! got announced and this morning we hear that SGT. ROCK is being pushed at Warners with new writer John Cox. According to Variety, this project has been attacked by such notable screenwriters as Brian "L.A. CONFIDENTIAL" Helgeland, David "BLADE RUNNER" Peoples, Jeffrey "LAST CRUSADE" Boam, Steven "DIE HARD" De Souza and John "Motherfucking" Milius (I know RED DAWN or CONAN THE BARBARIAN should have gone in there, but "Motherfucking" felt more right). Let's see if this Cox dude can succeed where these masters haven't. Personally, I'm all for a good WW2 adventure. Joel Silver is producing, so you know it'll be big and Silver actually isn't afraid of the R-rating. I was more of a superhero reader as a tyke, never really adventuring out into the war books, but I do remember enjoying the few SGT. ROCK issues I picked up. What do you fans of ROCK want to see them do in the adaptation? Let me know below, whenever you get tired of making jokes out of the names John Cox and Sgt. Frank Rock in the same sentence!"
awesome, i still prefer Sgt. Fury from Marvel more.

"Josh Lucas in talks for Batman? Posted by Clint Morris on April 20, 2006 The internet was partly responsible - since they flew the flag for his casting, way before he was on the studio’s radar - for Warner going with Christian Bale for “Batman Begins”, and now, you online casting whizzes may have just helped cast the sequel.
Josh Lucas tells MTV that he has been in talks with Warner about playing the role of D,A Harvey Dent in the “Batman” sequel. This all started when internet scuttlebutt suggested Lucas (“The Hulk”) was linked to the role – which he wasn’t. It seems your suggestion/BS/rumour/speculation/ led to such a meeting.
"I had heard that, when I was doing press on 'Glory Road,' " Lucas said of rumours he would play Dent (and alter-ego Two-Face) in the sequel/s. “Some of the people started asking about that, and [back] then I didn't know anything about it. I went and talked to Warner Bros. about it, because they're making it, and obviously I would love to do it. I think it's a great character. I like that someone could go from being bad to good and back and forth and light and dark, but also I think [series director Christopher Nolan] did an amazing job. And Christian Bale did an amazing job too. Christian and I did 'American Psycho' together, so it'd be like a reunion of sorts." ...
If it comes off, you all get 10%. "
mna i don';t really like this ducdes.

I think Lucas would be good for Dent, but I would prefer is they kept him African American, like the comics. I still think Denzel Washington is the perfect choice to play him, but he's too big of a name to play the part. But Lucas is good, so I'm not complaining.
And in my opinion, a Gambit movie would own. There is so much backstory with him that it would translate well to film. If they included all the things with him being in the Assassians Guild and leading the killing of the Morlocks, I think it could be very good. I also think the same with Wolverine and Magneto, because they have good backstories as well. Hell, I even think She-Hulk could be entertaining. I remember an issue of that when she was representing Spiderman in a libel case against J. Jonah Jameson, and Spidey says the reason Jameson is always talking crap about him, is because he's black, great stuff. But She-Hulk would lean more torward the comedy side than action, I think. But I'm a comic book nut, I see just about every comic book based movie, except Catwoman.

aicn "Cleveland is host to SPIDER-MAN 3 and we got some pics! Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. For those Spidey fans paying close attention you'll have heard about SPIDER-MAN 3 having a second unit in Cleveland these last few days doing a big action sequence. Raimi had people in Chicago filming background plates for the big El Train fight with Doc Ock in SPIDER-MAN 2 and I thought he was probably doing something similar here, but from the pics we're getting it looks like it's a bit more involved than that. Right now we don't have too much exciting, but we do have a few mucked up vehicles, though the second mucked up vehicle is hiding behind a tree, but you can still see enough to show ya' it ain't happy. I'm told by one of our spies in the area that this whole sequence is the result of Sandman throwing a fit, with him supposedly in that armored truck. Hopefully we'll get more snuck shots from the street shooting! But we have a little taste of the mayhem below thanks to "GrumpySkates." (Pssst... notice the gaping hole in the top of the armored truck!)" www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23109Transformer news www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23105Bay! He creeps me out.

I know I'm a little late on this, but I went and saw V For Vendetta last night on an IMAX screen. Let me just say, this movie was all kinds of great, especially in IMAX, because the explosions and the music was near deafening, it was awesome. But I was surprise at how much I liked it. This was the first comic book/graphic novel based movie I've seen that really made me think, because the events in the movie almost mirrors what is currently going on in the US. Also, V is one of the best characters I've seen in print or on film, truly genius. So if you haven't seen this movie yet, you must. Definatley one of the best of 06 and is up there with Sin City/Spiderman/X-Men in terms of quality.

Williams is far to old for The Joker. I would pick Paul Bettany. Mark Hamill would only be good because he does the voice but he doesn't really have any other Joker qualities.
Dent/Two - face, laurence fishburne or Mickey Rourke would be good.
The Green Goblin pic could be real considering we have still to see Harry Osbourne become him or the Hobgoblin. I think we will see the transformation at the end of this one.

"Joker contenders for Batman sequel, revealed? Posted by Clint Morris on April 27, 2006 Personally, and no offence to the rumour mill (I love it like a free coffee coupon attached to the front of a magazine), but I don’t think it’ll be any of these guys – it’s just too soon to be playing the lock-and-lock game. Don’t you agree?
Sure, we’ve been hearing the rumours about Paul Bettany, Lachy Hulme and even, Johnny Depp, for a while now, and it’s quite likely that they’ll all get to test for the role (if they haven’t already), but there’s likely to be some new, fresh faces climbing up the cinematic ladder between now-and-then – who knows, maybe one of these guys from “The OC” or something like “Flags of our Fathers”, Eastwood’s newie, will be the next hot young thing of the multiplex? - so don’t be surprised if one of those guys – whoever it may be – gets it.
But today, now, this week, these are apparently the contenders for the role of the clown prince of crime, aka The Joker, in the next “Batman” movie, according to our buds at Batman-On-Film.com. Who do you like for the role? If it were to be any of these guys, I don’t think anyone would much complain – they’re all definitely actors before they’re “stars”.
Lachy Hulme You know him from : Well, Aussies know him best for his strong debut comedy “Let’s Get Skase”, from a few years back, but everyone else probably knows the Lachster best for his role in “The Matrix” movies, in which he played ‘Sparks’. What does the scooper for Batman-on-film.com say about his chances? : “Lachy Hulme is on this list. He is not the “frontrunner” as many have suggested; he is the “dark horse.” WB is concerned about his lack of profile in the US, but they are keeping a very close eye on him. Hulme’s lack of profile could be remedied with two projects, MACBETH and an Australian comedy called BOYTOWN. The buzz for both films is very strong. Cillian Murphy landed his casting call for BATMAN BEGINS off the career boost 28 DAYS LATER gave him; likewise, Hulme only needs for one of these films to click. FYI: Hulme HAS met with the producers. He is the only actor not contracted for sequels to have done so.”
Hugo Weaving You know him from : Has always been one of Australia’s favourite actors, having appeared in such films as “Proof” with Russell Crowe, "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert", and “Peaches” with Emma Lung. With the success of “The Matrix”, in which he played the devious Agent Smith, his star has risen rapidly overseas. What does the scooper for Batman-on-film.com say about his chances? : “Hugo Weaving is also on the WB Casting list”. Weaving, who has a great relationship with Warner, streaming from his association with the “Matrix” trilogy, and more recently, “V for Vendetta”, will definitely be getting a look-in. He isn’t a bad choice either, I have to say.
Jude Law You know him from : Once linked to the role of Batman himself, Law is now said to be one of the heavy contenders for the role of the Joker. Law has appeared in such diverse films as “Music from Another Room”, “Gattaca”, “The Talented Mr Ripley”, and the forthcoming “All the King's Men”. What does the scooper for Batman-on-film.com say about his chances? : “Law’s name was also thrown about re: Petersen’s BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN project. Now it seems we have come full circle. Your site has mentioned Law as a candidate for Harvey Dent. This is incorrect. Law is being [considered for The Joker]. He is a WB suggestion (one of a select few). WB do not have a “wish list,” but WB has narrowed down a couple of names for Nolan etc. to consider later this year.”
Paul Bettany You know him from : Hit the big time thanks to his supporting roles in films like “A Knight’s Tale” and “A Beautiful Mind”, and really came into his own with strong performances as the villain in both “Firewall” and next month’s “The Da Vinci Code”. Has always been a favourite for the role of Jokes. What does the scooper for Batman-on-film.com say about his chances? : “As far as I know, Paul Bettany is not on this list. His name holds some appeal with a section of the Batman fan base, but the idea is not exactly setting WB’s world on fire. Too many creepy villain roles; been there, done that. He was never really in this race, as your site intimated recently – well done”.
Apparently, Hugh Jackman and Sam Rockwell were interested in the part, at one stage, but balked when they discovered The Joker wouldn’t be one of the main characters – he’ll only have a small role, apparently – of the sequel.
Says scooper, “Reps for Sam Rockwell were pursuing the role in the hope that this Joker would be on par with the 1989 Joker, but soon discovered otherwise. Hugh Jackman also expressed interest in The Joker. Upon learning the size of the role he explored the Harvey Dent option instead. Due to Jackman’s association with Marvel, however, you can probably count him out of either role in the BATMAN BEGINS sequel. Probably.”
And despite rumours and flag-flying for them, Robin Williams and Guy Pearce haven’t been approached for any role in the film yet either. Yet. Personally, I’d love to see Williams get a look-in for the role of The Joker. He could bring some bona fide maniacal-ness to the role – especially having seen his noxious performance in Nolan’s “Insomnia”. Scary, scary fellow, that Mrs Doubtfire.
The sequel, scheduled for a 2008 release, will see Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Katie Holmes reprise their roles from the first film. Last week, it was revealed that Josh Lucas (“Hulk”) has had discussions with Warner about possibly donning the suit-and-tie – and later, explosion of make up – of D.A Harvey Dent in the film, the chap who would become the villainous Two-Face down the line. "
IDK about any of them, i guess of those listed i'd say Weaving.

moviehole "Favreau steaming up Iron Man Posted by Clint Morris on April 28, 2006 Possibly the best news of the week – next to the news that Jenna Jameson has offered to clean out my cat’s litter tray this weekend – has to do with Swinging’ Jon Favreau being tapped to steer Tony Stark’s first big-screen jaunt. Favreau, hot off the moderately successful “Zathura”, has signed on the carbon contract to direct “Iron Man”, the long-awaited film adaptation of the Marvel comic (at one stage set to star - or at least he was keen to star – Tom Cruise). Apparently “John Carter of Mars”, which Favreau was set to helm, has fallen though because of Paramount’s commitment to that other space film series “Star Trek”, so a slot suddenly opened up in his schedule. I’d say it’s worked out for the best – “Iron Man” is the kind of film that could earn a filmmaker some sparkly gold teeth. Arthur Marcum and Matt Holloway ("Convoy") will write the film, which was originally set up at New Line with Nick Cassavettes (“The Notebook”) directing. Marvel’s Avi Arad has been keen to work with Favreau, ever since they met on the set of FOX’s “Daredevil”, a few years back, in which the former played Froggy Nelson in. In the comic, Iron Man's real identity is that of billionaire industrialist Tony Stark, who develops an armored suit that lets him fly and shoot "repulsor rays." The comic debuted in the 1960s, and Iron Man's origin involved Stark being a prisoner of the Viet Cong. The comic evolved into Stark fighting spies, both political and industrial, while also battling alcoholism. Favreau tells The Hollywood Reporter that he’s going to try and steer from using too much CGI in the movie. "I've always been very reticent to use CGI to the extent that it has been used by other filmmakers. I think that now, through motion-capture and the integration of miniatures with CGI, like in 'King Kong,' I'm starting to be a lot more convinced by what the technology can do. But the idea of using CGI and relying solely on that to tell your story, those days are past. I think that integrating practical filmmaking and augmenting it with CGI is the key to making it an emotionally involved story." Among Marvel’s other upcoming films are “Hulk 2”, being written by Zak Penn (“X3”), David Self’s “Captain America”, “Ant Man” from writer/director Edgar Wright, the Mark Protosevich penned “Thor”, and “Nick Fury”." Fucking Favreau, Favreau, while he may not be the best atleast he has talent unlike some of these fucks who have been directing lately. If it's not a CGI fest then i'll really dig it. I'm glad Nick Cassavetes isn't doing it, that fuck wanted to cast Justin Timberlake. aicn "NICK FURY will scream 'Get off my SHIELD plane!!!' Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. In that very same article that announced Jon Favreau as directing IRON MAN for Marvel/Paramount that also dropped a ton of mini-bombs. Some stuff we already knew like David Self writing CAPTAIN AMERICA and Edgar Wright is directing ANT MAN. Some we didn't know. You'll see a series of of these minis hit the site today. The thought is give each specific property its own talkback, not jumbled up all in one. This one is about Nick Fury and who is putting words into Fury's mouth. AIR FORCE ONE's Andrew Marlowe is scripting at this very moment. Not too sure what I think about that. I think AIR FORCE ONE is a lot of fun, but Marlowe also put out END OF DAYS and HOLLOW MAN. I'm willing to forgive both because they really do have some fantastic ideas in them and so much can happen between script and screen that I'm a little hesitant to lay the blame of the finished product on Marlowe's shoulders. I'm also pulling for the classic gruff and badass agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm not a huge fan of The Ultimates line, although I know it is insanely popular. I just don't want Hasselhoff to be the only classic Fury to be seen translated into a live action feature. What are your thoughts?" OK would you rather see Sgt. Fury or S.H.I.E.L.D. i'd rather see Sgt. Fury & the howling commandos. And i didn't know Wright was doing Ant Man, news to me. Cool news. Sgt. Fury S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Whispers from the Justice League Posted by Clint Morris on April 29, 2006 A couple of bits from the world I like to refer to as ‘milkingthecomicbookmoviesvilleworldtowneverse’ – unfortunately, the url has already been taken – concerning superheroes, supervillains and super-tight latex that’s prone to cause chafing.
Batman Begins 2 Having heard the rumours - which, by the way, weren’t apparently true – that he’s up for the role of Harvey Dent/Two Face in the next “Batman” movie, “Hulk” star Josh Lucas went to Warner Bros to see if it isn’t indeed a possibility. Lucas told IESB.net that he is actively pursuing the role now - despite the fact that his involvement has merely been fabricated rumour to this point – and has even met with the studio to discuss. "Absolutely, I want the role”, Lucas tells the site.
Batman Vs.Superman Though the film is still a few years away – at the very least – director Wolfgang Peterson tells IESB.net that he’s still keen to direct the ultimate superhero skirmish, “Batman Vs. Superman”, which he was originally set to do before the studio pulled the plug on it, deciding instead to give the Justice Leaguer’s their own solo adventures. Says the site, “He talked about how every one of us has Superman and Batman in us, a light and a dark. He sees it as a philosophical movie about different sides of a personality battling each other. He still wants very much to make Batman vs. Superman but doesn't know when, maybe when he's 85, he says. But he will do it.”
X-Men According to TrekWeb.com, “X-Men” producer Ralph Winter says “X-Men 3” will not be the last of the series. "This is not the last movie," Winter said of “X-Men The Last Stand”. “Wolverine” and “Magneto” spin-off movies are in the works, and “X-Men” scripter Zak Penn has hinted at another “X-film”, perhaps a New Mutants-type feature. "There are a lot more stories. There's a wealth of characters. We tried to fit Angel into three movies. This is the first time we ever got Angel in."
Ultimate Avengers Scooper ‘Advanced_Dark’ tells us “The other picture Zak Penn (“X-Men 3”, “Hulk 2”) is writing [for Marvel] is ‘Ultimate Avengers’ Live Action movie. Just found out earlier today. He told me at the XVERSE. Here’s what Penn says in said forum: “The movie I was supposed to write first was Ultimate Avengers. All the remaining marvel characters in one film.” Nice.
Iron Man Over on his myspace account, director Jon Favreau is discussing his newest gig, helming Marvel’s “Iron Man” movie. “Iron Man will indeed be my next movie. Marvel is distributing it through Paramount which, for those of you playing at home, is also the studio that is developing John Carter of Mars. That project is still a huge priority for me and I am still very much attached to it both as a director and producer. Iron Man is the first Marvel production under its new distribution arrangement. My hope is that this will be reflected in the quality of the movie. Their films are self-financed and, as a result, don't have to run the typical creative gauntlet of studio development. What Marvel says, goes. As far as specifics, it will be set in the present and, as you would probably expect, includes a version of the origin story.”
Superman Returns According to Superhero Hype, the trailer will be shown with Paramount's "Mission: Impossible III," opening next Friday, May 5th and will also be attached to all prints of WB's "Poseidon" the following week, on Friday, May 12th.The trailer runs for 2 minutes and 28 seconds.
Daredevil 2 Contrary to rumours that not only was a sequel in the works, but that Jason Behr ("Roswell") had been mentioned as a possible Affleck/Murdock proxy, an insider confirmed for us, several days back, that there's no such film, and at this stage, they're [FOX] not planning to visit the worlds of "Elektra" or "Daredevil" again anytime soon. Sequels to both films "were in the early development stages", at the time of each film's initial release, but were abandoned shortly after.
Thanks to ‘Robert’, ‘Gustavo’, ‘Blades_Shades’, 'The L.A Office'"
Hmm some soso news

You know, the thought accured to me after reading that Favreau will direct Iron Man, is that he might be good for the part of Iron Man. He has a good build and I think he's a good actor who could pull off the part, but someone who I think could be even better, his Swingers and Made co-star, Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn as Tony Stark could be perfect, as Vaughn has proven in the past that he is more than just a comedic actor, and this is a character with a lot of depth that I think Vaughn could bring a lot to the role.

"Rodriguez set for Sin City prequel and Madman? Posted by Clint Morris on May 2, 2006 The bad news (well, for my wife anyway, who has to loosen her collar every time Bruno’s in that soakin-wet blood-tainted Singlet) : Bruce Willis won’t be in “Sin City 2”.
The good news: He may be in the next instalment after that, a prequel to “Sin City”.
In an interview with IF magazine, Willis said that there’s been talks – presumably with director Robert Rodriguez – about “doing a prequel to the story that I was in. I think that's something that's going to be around for a while. I would love to keep working on that."
Meantime, speaking of everything Rodriguez, the director’s next project – possibly before “Sin City 2” – might be his long-planned film transfer of the comic book “Madman”.
Both Popoholic and Aint it Cool are reporting that an all-green-screen adaptation (much like the amazing looking “City”) is set to be before the cameras in May.
Though both Johnny Depp (who, I’m guessing, would still be in the mix) and Viggo Mortensen have always been rumoured to be the frontrunners for the role, the lead role is still yet to be cast….or announced, anyway. "
Awesome.

moviehole I know it's not comic related but it's about Ratner's Rush Hour series, and i don't really wanna start a thread over it. "It's Rush Hour in Gay Pari, Wee? Posted by Clint Morris on May 4, 2006 Most of it is stuff we already know – it starts filming in the Summer, will be directed by Brett Ratner, will reunite Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker with their big paydays – but Variety added a new bit to the accustomed trickle of news about “Rush Hour 3”. Apparently, the story will be set in Paris where Tucker and Chan's characters will battle a wing of the Chinese organized crime family, the Triads. First bit of a synopsis right there. “Rush Hour 3” is eyeing a Summer 2007 release. " "The Silver Surfer joins Fantastic Four Posted by Clint Morris on May 4, 2006 As previously rumoured, popular Marvel comic book character The Silver Surfer is set to join The Fantastic Four on screen, for the blue crew’s next adventure. Though once rumoured to be debuting in his own film, Surfer will now be popping up as a key player in “Fantastic Four 2”. Though there are two different scripts that the studio has to choose from – one by “Twin Peaks” scribe Mark Frost and another by Don Payne, of “Super Ex-Girlfriend” – they both apparently feature the probably Surfer, according to Variety. Keanu Reeves, The Rock, and Vin Diesel are just some of the actors whose names have been branded about for the role of The Silver Surfer - a galaxy-cruising protector endowed with superhuman strength, who is able to control and direct cosmic energies, with enough force to destroy a city – in the past, when it was initially going to be it’s own stand-alone project. The budget of this film is probably so far blown it won’t be able to stretch anymore for as big a name – so wouldn’t expect any of those guys to be riding the board. “Fantastic Four 2” will be rocking into theatres July 4, 2007." I hated the first but this might be cool to see, atleast for a comic fan. I say go with the Twin Peaks cat. "Speedy movement on Flash movie Posted by Clint Morris on May 4, 2006 Just like the perpetual Kimberley from “Melrose Place”, Writer/director David Goyer’s plans for “The Flash” movie just won’t give up the ghost. Originally announced back in 2004, the film adaptation of the DC comic has been a long-time coming, with some even speculating that the studio had ultimately decided to pass on the superhero caper. Not so, says Goyer, confirming that the project is still very much alive and that things are about to kick-off. Talking to IESB, the “Blade Trinity” writer/director said the script is written and that he’s “just doing some revisions, and he’ll be in the studio at the end of the month”. In the movie, a youngster named Wally West is touring the crime scene lab of his uncle, Barry Allen, when he’s doused in chemicals - after a lightning bolt strikes them – ultimately enabling him to run faster than any other human being on earth. It’s still the plan to cast Ryan Reynolds – who worked with Goyer on “Blade Trinity” – as the fast-running hero, Wally West, in the film. In an interview with Moviehole way-back-when, Reynolds says he’s excited about the prospect of playing the popular comic book character. “Wally West is a guy that likes to have a bit of fun in his life. He’s a little bit sarcastic, a little bit acerbic…but I’d love to inject a little bit more heart into Wally. I think it’d be really cool. I mean David explained the story to me –wow, Holy Shit. His rough story for The Flash is just fucking mind-boggling. I hesitate to say its one of the best script stories I’ve heard for a long, long time. So yeah, if it were to come to fruition I’d be very excited.” The character of “The Flash” – albeit in another incarnation, Bart Allen – was most recently seen in an episode of TV’s “Smallville" I dig both Goyer & Reynolds, so i'll see it(well no matter what i'll see it)

Good, I was hoping they'd bring Silver Surfer in on a Fantastic Four movie instead of his own. I'm not really digging those choices to play him. I hope this also means that Galactus will be having a part in the next movie.
Good, they're not trying to change things up too much and I wonder if they'll bother making a mention of Jay Garrick. I like Reynolds for this.

So, that only leaves... who? Michael Clarke Duncan, John Turturro and Tyrese were also mentioned by IGN, but haven't been confirmed yet. I really like Bernie Mac, but I never in my life would have thought Bernie Mac would appear as a main character in a TRANSFORMERS movie. Don't watch VEGAS, so I have no opinion of Josh Duhamel. We all know who the real stars of this movie are anyway. I like that we're at least getting interesting characters to hold us over between the giant robot fights... What do you folks think?"

"Cruise back on Iron Man? Posted by Clint Morris on May 10, 2006 I don’t know whether it’s still the case, considering the substandard figures over the weekend for “MI: 3”, but word is, Paramount may be after Tom Cruise to don the steel chemise of Tony Stark [again].
Cruise expressed his interest in the project a few years back – yeah, been in the works that long – but never officially signed on, and seemingly went cold on the idea. Now, according to The Post Chronicle, the couch-jumper may have reattached himself to the project.
If the Cruise rumours are true, I’m guessing it’s the studio’s idea, and not director Jon Favreau’s suggestion – who’s said to be more interested in casting a fresh-face in the role of the superhero. Having said that, Favreau was spotted at the “MI:3” premiere. Hmm.
In 2004, Cruise expressed his love for the popular comic-book character saying, “He’s a fascinating character, but we’ve got to figure out how it’s going to work. And everyone is doing a Marvel character these days. How do we make that new, create something fresh where it doesn’t feel like, ‘Oh, here comes another superhero story’?”
Later though, he mentioned that it wouldn’t be happening, because "They came to me at a certain point and, when I do something, I wanna do it right. If I commit to something, it has to be done in a way that I know it's gonna be something special. And as it was lining up, it just didn't feel to me like it was gonna work. I need to be able to make decisions and make the film as great as it can be, and it just didn't go down that road that way."
"It was two years before we decided to make [War of the Worlds]. There's a commitment. Obviously, I trust Steven... I've never just made a movie to make a movie. I've always made it because I was really interested in the story. I wanted to make that kind of picture and see what it would take. And it was an adventure for me. And for [Iron Man], it just wasn't panning out, so far. As of yet…"
Things may have changed since…it seems…
If Cruise signs on, he’d play the abovesaid Tony Stark, an alcoholic billionaire who’s involved in an accident which leaves him having to create a suit of armor to save his life."
hmm, i may hate the man, but i can see him playing Stark.
