GEOFF JOHNS WILL STAY WITH DC
Yeah. I know. Nobody who reads this blog will care about this, but the man who is the creative anchor of DC comics has signed a deal that will keep him with the company for the foreseeable future. This makes me happy. The info is here, for anyone who cares.
SUPER TUESDAY
It’s on. A lot less ambiguity after tonight. I have no thoughts, nor any predictions. We’ll all just have to wait and see.
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MAY BECOME A MOVIE
I could get on board with this, from IMDB:
Actor Jason Bateman has confirmed plans are underway for a movie version of cancelled TV sitcom Arrested Development. A rumored meeting between the star and series creator Mitch Hurwitz late last year fuelled speculation a big-screen adaptation of the cult show was in the pipeline. And now the Juno star has confirmed the cast has received calls from executives asking if they would be interested in reviving their roles once the ongoing Hollywood writers strike is over. He tells E! News, “I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started. Any talk is targeting a post-strike situation, of course. I think, as always, that it’s a question of whether the people with the money are willing to give our leader, Mitch Hurwitz, what he deserves for his participation. And I can speak for the cast when I say our fingers are crossed.”
This, like all other rumors of a revamped, restored, Arrested Development, is likely to end in disappointment. But its a nice thought. I’ll get excited when this thing gets green lit. Until then, we wait.
WOW
A piece of my childhood, The Greatest American Hero, is being made into a movie. I am nervous about it. It’s not fair to the film makers really, since I am brining so much early childhood energy into the theaters. I just hope that the movie, as a movie, is good. That would be good enough for me. Here is the available info.
Between this and The Watchmen movie, I might not make it. At least I have “The Dark Knight”. That’s something.
