I'm glad somebody pulled their heads out of their asses for that Iron Man with Thornton.  What were they thinking?  It would have been horrible.  What about Marlon Wayan as Rhodey, too, while you're at it.  Not that Thornton is a bad actor but he would have been so wrong for the part.  Funny you can tell the reporter thought it was a  ridicuolous idea too because he immediately thought he must have been up for the villain role, which might have worked but not for the Tony Stark role. And please, God, no Tarzan either.

gotta love Hollywood execs.....they'll kiss your ass one day and bite it off the next

Superman Returns isn't that bad...hell they're awfully glad to sell it but don't want to repeat it

SR earned its dough, yet the real problem these suits have is IT DIDN'T EARN US MORE, THEREFORE, THERE IS A PROBLEM

they always place their expectations too high...a few years ago the benchmark was 100 million domestic....how long will it be until the benchmark of success is 300 million domestic?

can you imagine any movie raking in that much money, in America alone, that can be called a failure when what they really wanted was 400 million?

the execs need to scale back on their estimates and hopes

Please return again Superman!  You don't have to be dark, just make sure your villian is.  Billy Bob could have pulled off TS/IM probably.

Ha, Thorton as Stark would have sucked.

What kills me is the dude can jump tall buildings in a single bound and they think a lawsuit will stop supes???  What's up with that?  I liked Supes Returns for what it was.  Call me nostalgic.  Though you haters will probably call me something else.

You know, I don't know what "DragonGall Evolution" is but Emmy Rossum is a cutie.

Oh and Aubrey Coleman who plays for Housten shouldn't be allowed to play.  I'm not sure if I'm more pissed about what he did or the fact that he brags about it later and has a little celebratory handshake with one of his team mates as he's kicked out of the game.  Dude needs to grow up.  Where the hell is the sportmanship.  Sorry, just had to complain.

I see more troubles for Superman. You think there was indecision when DC called the shots? Now with 2 entities sharing the rights they won't know which way is up.

I think Billy Bob as IM could've been funny ala Bad Santa. Just imagine an IM with an anal addiction sodomizing Pepper with part of his suit on and they're both drunks to boot.

hey now, no need to be dissin' Marlon Wayans.  sure he was a white chick, but he was also in Requiem.  i still firmly believe that comedians make great dramatic actors.  but thats just me.

nothing against Cheadle, but i'd take Wayans as Rhodes over Cheadle anyday, haha.

but seriously.

ha.

The fact that DC and WB, both owned by the same company, can't seem to figure out what they want to do with their product tells me they need to get some fresh blood in there. I know they probably saved money staying "in the family", but they limit their creative options doing that.

Really, the only studio I can imagine NOT wanting to make a bid on Supes is probably Marvel Studios (and wouldn't THAT be a kick in the head!?!?!)

Here's the deal Superman is going to stay at WB. In the end WB will cave to the Siegels just to keep Supes on the lot. In the end that will either cause the suits to go out and get the best people to make a Supes movie (Geoff Johns and Richard Donner) so that they can make their money back or they will group think this dude to death and the next Supes movie will be worse than SR and be the final movie for twenty more years because the studio will lose money. Meanwhile Twenty years from now The Dark Knight Returns starring a fifty year old Christian Bale will gross 2 billion dollars at the Box Office thanks to inflation.

By the way Thornton would not have made a good Iron Man. Maybe they could get him to play Nick Fury since Sam Jackson has passed on the part.
