Frank Miller’s The Spirit Worse Than Battlefield Earth?

People, I think I may be about to cry.

It was bad enough when Punisher: War Zone, a movie that I was really and truly looking forward to, turned out to be damn near unwatchable. I was heartbroken, but I figured I’d survive. I mean, at least it wasn’t Battlefield Earth, right?

Then I read Jondough’s review of an advance screening of the last movie to which I was looking forward, The Spirit, on Ain’t It Cool News, and I’m devastated.

Jondough apparently feels that The Spirit will dethrone Battlefield as the absolute WORST. MOVIE. EVER.

I… I’ll just let him tell you. These are obviously excerpts of his review. Click here for the entire thing.

[...]
And now I’ve seen something that has taken the top prize from “Battlefield Earth.” I mean, I honestly thought that would never happen. And it’s not like there aren’t MANY shitty movies made every year, and it’s not like I don’t SEE many of those. In fact, friends of mine and I have recently started a “Bad Movie Night,” where we have an opening act, a main feature, and a dessert: all of incredibly bad film & TV (the last one we did featured a vampire theme, so we started with “Knight Beat” (only available on VHS, but highly recommended), we feasted on the horror that is “Lost Boys 2: The Tribe”, and then for dessert, watched the (very) little-seen, “Paul Lynde’s Halloween Special” (holy crap! Amazing!). They’re our very own “MST3K” nights.

Yet, despite all of the “badness,” I’ve never had that potent sense of “this is bad on a level worthy of B.E.” before last night.

“The Spirit,” as written and directed (hahahahahaha) by Frank Miller, is that movie. I can’t go into specifics of HOW, exactly, I saw the film (I use that term loosely here), as there are privacy issues at stake, but it’s not even all that important. What is important is that the two of us who stayed awake (one of us has a “real” job…he’s already an outsider, no reason to ridicule him further) for the film in its entirety could talk about nothing else for the remainder of the night. After 2 hours of ruminating, pondering what had just happened, we came up with this description of what the viewing experience was like: “I feel like I just watched a movie in a foreign language, where you speak JUST enough of the language to realize that the main character just said he had sex with your mother and then wrote a movie about it…a movie that you can’t fully understand except for the nagging feeling that that’s your mother up there getting reamed.”

Or, as said about a half hour later by my buddy, in all seriousness, “I think I now know what it feels like to be raped.” (The sense of betrayal, the sense of loss, the sense that somehow it was his fault.)

Yeah… ouch. And that’s just the beginning.

He starts in on the actors :

Let’s start with the acting. Oh lord. I didn’t know who Gabriel Macht was before this film, and I don’t really care to know him after. But according to IMDB at least, it looks like his agent’s pulled an “Ari” and gotten him a bunch of work based off this lead role before anyone saw it. Good for his agent. Because when people see this steaming pile of shit, where Macht is on screen the vast majority of the time, he’s going to take the biggest hit. To be fair, I’m not sure it’s ENTIRELY his fault (see “Actors: Self-Direction”), but Christy Christ, son. Going to the gym a lot does not mean you’re prepared for a role. If your director doesn’t give you any help, for god’s sake, HIRE AN ACTING COACH. I mean, do you realize that the nature of film is for people to SEE it? People are going to see this movie (granted, not many), and when they meet you on the street (assuming you’re wearing a stick-um mask, as he sports it during the entire movie…maybe that was his idea, to protect his face), they’re not going to be able to say anything other than, “Oh, hey. You were in the Spirit…(starting to laugh)…no, no, it’s not anything you did…(laughing harder)…no, I was just thinking of something else…(bent over now with laughter, then slowly recovering themselves)…But seriously, you were awful.” This scene will be played out all over town, all over the country. Probably not all over the world, though, as it’ll tank well before it gets real distribution. (Then again, this movie may actually MAKE more sense if you don’t speak English, so maybe your star has finally come after all, Gabe.)

To be honest, Old Gabe doesn’t even come off that bad…at least not compared to Sam Jackson. I mean, seriously, what the fuck? Sam: what the fuck, man? I’m not going to rehash your old glories here: you know them better than I do (hell, you’ve been reliving them on screen for the last decade). But come ON. I would have said you’re better than this…but you’re really not, are you? How big is your coke habit? Who do you owe money to? WHAT THE FUCK????

Dude…didn’t you suspect something was amiss when they asked you to bring all your own costumes from home?

(Costumer Designer: Hi Mr. Jackson, it’s Susie over at Lionsgate. Listen, we’re wondering if you have anything you’d be willing to bring in for the shoot tomorrow. Do you have any old costumes from movies you’ve done in the past? Mr. Miller wants to blow the whole budget on “the look,” as he calls it.

Sam Jackson: Well…let. Me. See, little lady. I do still have my mutton chops from when I played Vincent in Pulp Fiction. Will that work?
C.D: Perfect. What else you got?
S.J.: I’ve got some old mothafuckin’ samurai robes from a chewing gum commercial I did in mothafuckin’ Japan. Don’t MAKE me smell yo’ bad breath! That was the tag line.
C.D.: Fantastic. Anything else?
S.J.: Well, I really wanted to be in Valkyrie, so I bought an authentic Nazi uniform. A hat and everything. But that SONOFABITCH Toooom Cruuuuise said there WERE no Black Nazis. I said, “There weren’t no mothafuckin’ black Jedis either, bitch, but that didn’t stop George Lucas from putting me in there.” Oh, that reminds me, I have my purple light saber. Will that help?
C.D.: Yes to the Nazi uniform, hold off on the light saber. Aww, hell, bring it all! I don’t know how, but we’ll shoehorn all this stuff into something. Thanks!
S.J.: Hey, I’ve also got a huge plaster-of-paris Iron Eagle Nazi emblem. You know, just in case.
C.D.: Yeah, that’d be the props department. I’ll have Skipper give you a call.)

Samuel Laura Jackson, you should know better. That’s just all there is to it. Maybe you aren’t BETTER than this, but you should certainly KNOW better than this. This…well, this is a mothafuckin’ horrible movie.

You know it had to be bad if he’s willing to take on Samuel Muthafuckin’ Jackson.

But he saves his special, SPECIAL attention for Frank Miller:

[speaking directly to Miller]
You clearly don’t have any idea what you’re doing. Someone, ANYONE, over at Lionsgate should have known this. Fuck, it’s their JOB to know this. But they didn’t. They somehow bought the idea that you “co-directed” (hah) Sin City, which even if it WERE true, doesn’t mean you directed the movie. It means you sat in a seat next to Rodriguez and took notes on what words to say when (we see Frank scribbling furiously into a steno pad, tongue out in concentration. Close up on the notebook: “Action” – say this at the beginning when you want the pretty people to talk. “Cut” – say this when everyone looks at you). How could the suits know that your direction to the actors was, apparently, “You guys’ve done this before, just do what you normally do.” (Look! There’s Sam Jackson doing Sam Jackson. There’s Eva Mendes playing sexy. There’s Eric Balfour doing…what the fuck is he doing in this movie?) Seriously, how on Earth could they know that your idea of direction is to place the camera on a tripod and have your two actors walk back and forth for five minutes in front of a dimwit committing seppuku? They couldn’t, of course, but they should have. You apparently storyboarded the whole film. Did they LOOK (like, with their eyes) at these? Didn’t they notice the length of the scene? Didn’t they notice the lack of dramatic action? Didn’t they know that high school plays directed by a middle school teacher who’s only directing because he hates his life has better staging than this? They SHOULD have.

Yeah, I think that’s enough pain and depression.

So I leave you with a question - do two bad films in a row signal the beginning of the end for the glut of comic movies that we’ve had? What if Watchmen actually comes out and totally tanks? Is it all over?

Will there ever be another good comic movie again?

84 Comic Book Movies in the Works!

Posted by: MidKnight  //  Category: DC, Dark Horse, Image, Marvel, movies
202px-SIN_CITY-3 84 Comic Book Movies in the Works!
Image via Wikipedia

So I found myself scrolling through geek news the other night on Fark.com and came across this little tidbit: Den of the Geek . This page has a pretty full list of comic books being turned into movies. I won’t give a full list here but here are a few of the ones that stand out the most:

Doctor Strange (2012)
Already the subject of two low-budget adaptations (in 1978 and 2007), there have been many contenders to helm and star in the tale of the New York superhero/mystic; Christian Bale - perhaps unimaginatively - is the latest to be offered the cape, while Guillermo del Toro has flirted endlessly with the project, which remains without a confirmed director.

Wonder Woman (2011)
Possibly the most controversial piece of casting of the decade, there are a million forums alive with speculation as to who will play DC comics’ Amazonian warrior, though Jessica Biel is looking hot right now. Errr. Anyway Joss Whedon’s wasted two years on the project are further indication that no-one really knows what to do with such a cheerful character post-Dark Knight.

Namor: The Submariner (aka Submariner) (2010)
Originally with Chris Columbus, this Marvel Studios tale of the Atlantean wing-heeled hero has had Angel’s David Boreanaz attached for some time. Central character Prince Namor will be caught up in an ecological war between the land-dwellers and the sea-denizens whose habitat they have polluted. Jonathan Mostow is still said to be attached to the project.

The Avengers (2011)
Slated for a prime summer slot on July 15th 2011, this is set to be one of the most highly-anticipated movies of the next few years, directed by Jon Favreau with Robert Downey Jr. firmly signed to it as Tony Stark/Iron Man and new ‘Rhodey’ Don Cheadle attached too. Marvel Studios are financing and Paramount distrubuting, as usual. Rumours are obviously rife regarding casting.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
7th May 2010 and the wait will be over for Downey Jr. to rocket upwards for a sequel to the smash hit 2008 Marvel Studios’ debut. Terence Howard’s replacement by Don Cheadle (see The Avengers above) has caused a stir, but we’re all pleased that Downey Jr. has signed on the dotted line up to Iron Man 3.

Nick Fury (2010)
Jack Kirby’s streetwise S.H.I.E.L.D supremo was a huge hit in a guest spot with Samuel L. Jackson at the end of the credits for Iron Man, and many are hoping that Jackson will return and make the film that Shaft should have been.

Red Sonja (2009)
The Robert Rodriguez-produced adaptation of the adventures of the Marvel comics heroine (a Conan spin-off derived very loosely from a Robert E. Howard short story) generated much interest at Comicon when Rodriguez and Sonja star Rose McGowan showed off some sexy new posters, but there’s some speculation the film may go straight to disc.

Thor (2010)
Kenneth Branagh was entranced by the classical tale of Marvel comics’ Norse god with a big hammer, which remains without a leading man (Daniel Craig turned it down). The film is slated for release 16th July 2010.

The First Avenger: Captain America (2011)
Jurassic Park III director and effects guru Joe Johnston is slated to direct the tale of the New York fine arts student who takes a super-serum that soups him up for action against the Nazis in WWII America. Narnia writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely have been put on scripting duty.

Silver Surfer (2009)
2009 is looking a bit unlikely for the (rumoured) return of Doug Jones as the shiny semi-hero of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. J. Michael Straczynski revealed that the character’s association with the unappreciated FF2 doesn’t help. Galactus is rumoured to return, hopefully not just as a VGER-type cloud. Dark City’s Alex Proyas refused the helm, and Fox is rumoured to be awaiting the reception of the Wolverine movie before committing.

Sin City 2 (2010)
Frank Miller returns to helm the sequel to the stylistic 2005 hit. Based on the GN story “A Dame to Kill For”, Clive Owen reprises his role as Dwight McCarthy to take revenge on (a rumoured) Rose McGowan, an ex-lover who makes an unwelcome return to his life.

Sin City 3 (2010)
Miller is slating the second Sin City sequel to cover the ‘Hell and Back’ story featuring ex-navy SEAL Wallace, a vigilante character that Miller says was based on Johnny Depp, though the actor is not officially attached to the role.

Superman: Man of Steel (2011)
Despite profitability, Bryan Singer’s 2006 Donner-loving reboot/sequel Superman Returns inspired little studio confidence for a franchise run, and many - including Mark Millar - have been seeking to completely reboot the franchise. Brandon Routh is not as out of the picture as many think, it seems, and neither is Bryan Singer. But how far will they have to reboot the franchise to get Superman off the ground again?

The Witchblade (2009)
Battlestar Galactica’s Michael Rymer is set to helm the movie adaptation of the Top Cow productions GN, in the wake of the TV version. The eponymous weapon is (of course) supernatural, a ‘one-ring’-style sentient artifact that has afforded great powers to women such as Cleopatra and Joan Of Arc and now falls into the hands of NYPD detective Sara Pezzini. She doesn’t look like any cop I’ve ever seen.

Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam (aka Captain Marvel, 2010)
The Captain Marvel character is awfully close to Superman in capabilities, and the scrambling for ‘dark’ properties for superhero movies could have moved this project even further down the roster. Get Smart director Peter Segal is attached, and in his defence was talking about a ‘darker’ character well before The Dark Knight’s release and box-office supremacy.

Iron Fist (2012)
Popularly thought to only have a chance if Luke Cage does well (the character developed out of that series), Iron Fist is resting in development hell with Ray Park thought to have left behind his association with the role.

Green Lantern (2010)
Ryan Gosling has been hotly tipped to wear the green ring of power in the movie of the DC comics verdant hero. The script is said to be good at the moment, and producer Donald De Line confirmed his enthusiasm for it. The fact that Green Lantern is more a suit than a person (worn by a series of fictional characters) takes the pressure out of casting a franchise in a Doctor Who/James Bond -style.

The Flash (2010)
The film of DC’s lightning-fast sprinter seems to be tying its shoelaces at the moment. Likelihood seems to be that the JLA movie is confusing the issue in a way Batman never needs to worry about, so it could be quite a wait for Wally West to get moving. Dark Knight producer Charles Roven concedes that there has been no progress on the project.

Deadpool (2010)
Contrary to earlier reports, Variety says that the hyper-acid mercenary played by Ryan Reynolds in X-Men Origins: Wolverine will have to await that film’s box-office fate to know his own. Deadpool is about as post-modern and ironic a superhero as Marvel has to offer, arguably their most Tarantino-resque hero, but he’s a strong flavour that might not attract the requisite investment for a full-budget superhero flick.

Okay, so that was considerably more then a few but trust me there’s a lot more. I’m not sure how legit these postings are but I have my hopes up. Head on over to Den of the Geek for a full list!

Josh Schwartz Writing X-Men First Class

Posted by: Dustin Christian  //  Category: Marvel, movies

first-class1 Josh Schwartz Writing X-Men First ClassSome of you may remember that Josh Schwartz, creator of Gossip Girl, O.C., and Chuck, let it slip a few months ago that he was working on an X-Men movie script, followed by complete radio silence.

Last night, Variety confirmed Schwartz’s slip by reporting that Fox and Marvel will be rebooting the X-Men franchise that Brett Ratner ruined with X-Men First Class, produced by Lauren Schooner Donner and written by Josh Schwartz.

There are virtually no details on the plot, though Variety’s article mentions a similar theme to the X-Men First Class comic (Young students at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning), but following characters like Colossus, Rogue, Gambit, Iceman, Angel, Shadowcat, and Jubilee, all of whom are the younger students in the previous three movies, rather than the original X-Men team in the comics. It is likely, though, that the main characters in the previous movies will at least make cameos.

This could be interesting, although I’ll miss some of the main cast from the previous films. I really don’t see any other way they could continue the franchise after that trainwreck that Ratner made, though.

From Charlize Theron to Wee Hughie

Posted by: Dustin Christian  //  Category: Dynamite, Small Press, movies

theboys-150x150 From Charlize Theron to Wee HughieFinally there’s some progress on the film adaptation of my favoritest current series, The Boys!

Six months after the announcement that Columbia Pictures was picking up the rights to The Boys, with Neal Moritz planning on producing, The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay, scribes of such greats as Aeon Flux, The Tuxedo, Bug, and Crazy/Beautiful, will be writing the script.

Honestly, the resume that these guys are packing makes me a bit nervous (although I did kind of like Crazy Beautiful), but I’m so happy that things are moving forward that I’m willing to give them a chance. I mean, the original Aeon Flux wasn’t that great in the first place and a Jackie Chan movie isn’t exactly going to give a scriptwriter their chance to shine.

Warner Brothers to Reboot Superman Franchise

Posted by: Dustin Christian  //  Category: DC, movies

dclogo-150x150 Warner Brothers to Reboot Superman FranchiseIn an interview with the Wall Street Journal, President of Warner Brothers’ movies division Jeff Robinov
confirmed the rumors of a planned reboot for the Superman franchise, presumably along the lines of what Marvel did with Incredible Hulk. Here’s the key paragraph:

Warner Bros. also put on hold plans for another movie starring multiple superheroes — known as “Batman vs. Superman” — after the $215 million “Superman Returns,” which had disappointing box-office returns, didn’t please executives. “‘Superman’ didn’t quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to,” says Mr. Robinov. “It didn’t position the character the way he needed to be positioned.” “Had ‘Superman’ worked in 2006, we would have had a movie for Christmas of this year or 2009,” he adds. “But now the plan is just to reintroduce Superman without regard to a Batman and Superman movie at all.”

Also of interest is Rabinov’s stated goal of having DC provide two of the six to eight tentpole films that Warner has in the pipleline by 2011 and following Marvel’s plan of establishing individual characters in solo films before creating a team blockbuster like Marvel’s planned Avengers and Warner’s stalled Justice League of America and the aforementioned Batman vs Superman, which apparently had received more consideration than I imagined.

According to the interview, Warner plans to release four DC movies in the next three years, including another Batman movie, the Superman reboot, and movies featuring two unnamed heroes. Green Lantern, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Green Arrow/Supermax movies are all said to be in development.

It’s a good time to be a comics fan.

Raimi and Cruise Together on Sleeper

Posted by: Dustin Christian  //  Category: DC, Image, movies

sleeper-197x300 Raimi and Cruise Together on SleeperI found out about this article in the Hollywood Reporter via a post on Ed Brubaker’s blog today and have since seen it spread all over the place. I refuse to continue the cliche of saying Sleeper is being “woken up”. It’s almost as lame as all of the “Holy Unoriginality, Batman!” tripe that goes around.

Anyway, in case you’ve been skipping the blogs and interwebs all day and I have the honor of being the first thing you read today, Sam Raimi and Tom Cruise are apparently trying to set up a film adaptation of Ed Brubaker’s Sleeper series at Warner Brothers, with Cruise “loosely attached” to star. With luck, someone else won’t already have the rights and Warner Brothers will actually be able to release the movie, should it actually be made. The general caveats apply, of course. Buying options to or “setting up” adaptations does not necessarily mean that the film will be made and Cruise may not actually star, but having the names of Raimi and Cruise attached definitely don’t hurt the odds of seeing Sleeper in theaters.

Brubaker mentions this in his blog post, but it bears repeating that Hollywood Reporter got one thing wrong - Sleeper is not a spin-off of either WildC.A.T.S. or Gen13, it merely features some characters that also appear in those series.

Finally, I have no idea why the sentence “Sleeper sees Raimi and Donen continuing their company’s superhero, which began when they recently set up the superhero story “The Transplants” at Disney.” made it past the copyeditors.

Mark Millar Maybe Sorta Possibly Working on Superman Reboot?

Posted by: Dustin Christian  //  Category: DC, movies
Superman

Image via Wikipedia

This starts with a rumor that I totally missed - Comic Book Movies reported last month that Warner Brothers may be considering a reboot of the Superman franchise based on how well Incredible Hulk performed at the box office. I would think that Warner Brothers would give more weight to how well Batman Begins performed as a franchise reboot, but perhaps WB realizes that neither Superman nor anyone else can be as cool as Batman.

Regardless, fast forward to last week, where Mark Millar was quoted in an interview with the Daily Record in the UK as saying he may be working on that Superman reboot:

“Since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to reinvent Superman for the 21st century.

“I’ve been planning this my entire life. I’ve got my director and producer set up, and it’ll be 2011. This is how far ahead you have to think.

“The Superman brand is toxic after that last movie lost Û200million, but in 2011 we’re hoping to restart it.

“Sadly I can’t say who the director is, but we may make it official by Christmas.

“But fingers crossed it could work out, that would be my lifetime’s dream.”

… shortly thereafter, in a post to his messsage board:

“… In the interests of clarity (because I’m sure this will be picked up somewhere) a very well known American action director heard about my love of Superman, approached my and asked me to team up with he and his producer to make a pitch for this. We’ve been talking for several weeks now and, if this is going to happen, we’ll know by Christmas. He has huge pull at WB so fingers crossed. But this is nothing more than a huge US name pulling me into his fold and making me part of a package.”

The next day, he backed down a little more:

“Again, I can only stress that isn’t news, lads. It isn’t an offer from WB or anyone. It’s just a big name action director who got in touch and asked me to join he and a producer we both know well to pitch for it. This guy is a big deal at WB so there’s a little hope. But this ain’t a news item until it happens. And it’s not even close to happening yet.”

So what’s the story; is this a legitimate possibility that Millar doesn’t want to jinx, or was he just talking out of his ass again?

New Dark Knight Stupid Bats Poster

Posted by: Dustin Christian  //  Category: The Dark Knight, movies

A new viral game kicked off today resulting in a new poster being released. If you don’t really care about the path taken, feel free to skip to the end of this post. Otherwise, read on!

Those who received phones from the Joker in one of the previous games received a text message today:

Wake up, clown! You have *one hour* to reply to be a part of today’s fun. /operator

Through past experience, it was quickly surmised that “/operator” referred to http://whysoserious.com/operator. Those that replied received:

Good. Do not reply again. I’ll be in touch…

…and once the deadline passed:

Work together, clowns. Your code-word: XXXXXXXX. Your partner: XXX-XXX-XXXX. Do NOT call until told to. Do not publicize this number.

Wait for a call - you will receive one or more code words. Relay these words to your partner.

You’re the first in the chain. Call your partner and relay your code-word NOW.

Once the relays were completed, chains dropped on the /operator page and we were shown five words.

Why So Serious / Operator

All of the words can be followed by the word “house”. Enter this into the box at the bottom and we’re given a new game, “Punkdrop”.

Punk Drop

I’m not going to lie to you here, I never could get the hang of this one - I had to wait for someone else to do it to get to the end of this thing, but I’m told that if you hit one of these punk thing, a light appears next to another one. Hit that dummy, and the light moves to another, and so on. If you can pull that off three times in a row, you’re taken to the final page, Stupid Bats”, where you receive a new poster featuring a defaced photo of Batman with scrawled messages all around.

Stupid Bats...

Could that be the end of the Dark Knight viral, or will we get a bit more?
