I would like to see The Walking Dead done right...it's a good read...and the comic is exceptional, I find it hard to see on AMC though....time will tell

Ray Park as Iron Man....it could work with the right director attached? He obviously has been reading it and is familiar with the character, so you never know...and yes, Ballistic was a horrible nightmare that once seen is never going to be erased from your memory.

Abomination...that would be good...Tim Roth would definitely be all over that, I'm sure.

Wolverine...this appears to be in the right hands, and the films are **FUN** from what I understand, so anything is possible...especially when it did what it did at the box office, and what it will do when released on DVD.

Super Max = Super-whatever.....it's not going anywhere...

The Phantom....not really sold on it, but it could be pretty good....

Oh man! The Walking Dead on AMC is some of the best news I've ever gotten. I think HBO would have been better but I don't fear for loss of zombie violence or adult themes on AMC. I just finished re-reading thru the entire series just a couple weeks ago and that really brings home how important character development is to why its so good. An ongoing series is the only way to approach this. Darabont is a great filmmaker and seems to get that. I've got high hopes for this.

Would love to see a Hero's for Hire movie. Not so sure how much I'd love Tyrese and Parks in the roles though. Parks' accent especially would distract me from enjoying it. I agree with MrJaw on the Jason Starham idea and that its a shame he wastes most of his time on crap.

Too bad about Super Max. I was looking forward to it. Not so sure retooling it to Marvel makes any sense. The results of retooling scripts usually disappoints me.

I'm in agreement with just about everyone that The Abomination in Avenger makes sense and could work out really well as some other villain's tool.

Glad to see The Phantom moving forward and not focusing on Kit. Looking forward to that.

I'll refrain from telling Jackman what he can do to Wolverine 2. What he can do to it in its stupid something or others. Damn you Ratner.

Anyway. I'm off to the crapper for some quality time with today's TWD

I would love to see the Walking Dead. I've enjoyed it so far in the trades and I'm not that big of a fan of zombies.

If done right, it will be great to watch.

And now for a fan boy dream: Can't Spidey and Wolverine do a movie together? I would love to finally see a prue action-packed Spidey movie where he doesn't cry, no one knows he's Peter Parker and the bad guy gets thrown in jail instead of killed off in the end.

Add Wolverine into the mix and you got yourself a great movie.

The dude who plays Sgt. James Doakes on Dexter should play Luke Cage.

As for Walking Dead, bring it on. I need something to keep my Zombie fix under control until Dead Rising 2 and World War Z come out.

Wessmith, I am totally with you on Wolverine and the X Men in general. I am so over everything Singer did with the franchise, and I want something that's worthy of sitting on my DVD shelf with Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk. Everything Marvel did prior to Iron Man needs to be reexamined and rebooted.

And what the hell is up with Statham? The man can act. He was awesome in Lock Stock, Snatch and Mean Machine, and he wastes his talents on garbage films.
