Millar Will Deliver New Pitch for SUPERMAN - Jul 03, 2008 - 08:33am
I kind of doubt it will work out. WB already has a working relationship with Singer. He already has working plans for his Supes sequel. Unless they really have concerns about whether Singer will deliver a profitable film (SR did make money just not as much as they expected), I wouldn't thing they'd rock the boat with another re-vamp of the character so soon.

David Fincher and Dark Horse Leads THE GOON - Jul 03, 2008 - 08:12am
I read one issue of this by chance and loved it. It has a Eisner/Spirit feel to it. Mix in some old 40's gangster films and Bowery Boys/East Side Kids flicks with some Little Rascals. Then stir in some supernatural horror ala Berni Wrightson and you get the vibe. As soon as I read it I thought it would make a great dark animated movie. Live action could work too and I think Fincher could give this the right atmosphere. Someone like Tim Burton would be wrong. He has more of a gothic fairy tale texture rather than the tough urban look this should have.

Hey,
I'd like to thank you for suggesting making "Life and Times of Igor" in the comic book format.
I admit at first I thought "well, I don't really know how that works, etc." and then I just looked up the format. It's not too different from my standard screenplay format, except now I'll have to worry about panels.
I'd long planned on revising Igor for more contemporary times, since the last rewrite was in 2006, and I'd come up with other ideas to replace the narrator, but never could work it out in the script.
So now, given this new example of comic formatting, and a script that needs a polishing and is, for the most part, complete it shouldn't be too hard.
I'm not really a fan of comics, but I have read one: The Death of Superman. That's it. It's the only real serious\professional comic I've ever seen. It's the only one I own. I'll use it as a rough guide.
I'll add you to my friends list, if that's okay with you.
Thanks a million.

The original is also on my fave list. Gort scared the hell out of me as a kid and the 50's music was the best. I really liked this trailer. It looks like it has keep the basic idea of the original but given it the proper modern feel. I had been worried about this remake before but now I'm interested for sure. I wanna see Gort in this one, too. I hope he scares the bejeezus outta me like the first one did.
