InactiveApparently hollywood has finally gotten the message that "whiney" hero’s (who am I? why am I here? am I the last of my kind? etc…) don’t cut it any more.
and now they’re working on more hard-nose adaptations.
Thor, and Punisher to name but a few.
Apparently this is all being fueled by the success of the "toughening-up" of Bond, Batman, and the rest.

Ya this ones penned by David Hayter (aka voice of solid snake). Although he apparently wrote the screen play for X-men 1 and 2, and according to imdb.com is writing the script for lost planet and co-writing metal gear the movie!

InactiveWhile I am interested in seeing what Marvel do with the Thor/Captain America/Iron Man 2 build up to the big Avenegers movie, I am somewhat less excited about The Puniser 2 and the others listed, Wolverine aside of course. I have to admit I am a fan of the first two Punisher flicks but while Ray Stevenson was impressive in Rome, I really can’t see him filling Thomas Jane’s boots as Frank Castle.
That said this whole franchise reboot thing has begun to leave a horrible taste in my mouth, in fact something akin to arsenic, when I saw that they were remaking Robocop. Darren Aronofsky directing be damned, it doesn’t need to be remade… :x
Speaking of further instalments in 80s stalwarts, has anyone checked out the teaser for
Terminator Salvation? While McGs involvement initially lead to raised eyebrows on my part, I have yet to see Christian Bale star in a poor film, so hopefully the trend continues. -

InactiveOh, and GI Joe is on the way also. I’m hoping it isn’t "smeared" with "go-america" in a TEAM AMERICA manner, (without the sarcasm.)
Same concerns apply for Captain America…

But like…that’s the entire spirit of those franchises! Just when they were created it that ‘go america!’ attitude didn’t send people wretching in the aisles.
