More updates...

Warner Bros. Pictures, The Weinstein Company and Imagi Animation Studios agreed upon principal terms for the worldwide distribution of the feature films Gatchaman and AstroBoy.

Martin Scorsese will direct an untitled documentary about the life of George Harrison, reports Variety.

Russell Mulcahy ( Resident Evil: Extinction ) will direct Zen in the Art of Slaying Vampires , a project in development by CP Productions partners Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters.

More news on Justice League. Aquaman IS in the movie. The plot is sounding more and more the way I thought it would. And I can tell you EXACTLY which two story lines are being blended together because one of them I love very much. (And one not so much.) And I have a pretty goo idea who the bad guy is going to be, too. And I really want to go off about this at someone but it would be insanely spoilery.

NBC is bringing back "Knight Rider," hiring Doug Liman ( Mr. and Mrs. Smith , The Bourne Identity ) to produce a Transformers -inspired reworking of the 1980s hit action-drama series about a man and his indestructible supercar. Apparently he gets to make a 2 hour pilot and if the ratings don't blow, they'll sign it on for the 2008-2009 season. And you know what? I almost want it to make it. Just so I can be at a Knight Rider panel at Comic Con.

This has made me think about my favorite 80's shows and realize they were very much the sme with different and interesting coats of paint. The A-Team: Guys driving around in a van and helping people. Knight Rider: Guy and a car driving around and helping people. Magnum P.I.: Guy driving around Hawaii helping people. These sorts of shows seem to have vanished, mostly. We still get stuff like Angel: Vampire running around city helping people... (Which, btw, I'm pretty sure is what Moonlight is going to be. Just slightly different paint.)

On a more personal note, I burned the hell out of my arm last night. Go hot oil! Woooo! I'm generally grumpy with the world for reasons which I never seem to be able to convey well, except to a few specific people. There is an apartment in Ben's building which is open and I'm going to go take a look at it. I'd miss living where I do but decrease in rent and Queen Anne are both good things... *shugs* I don't know. I'm fearful of a rent increase at my current place.... Meh.

Can they DO that?

I mean, if I've learned anything from Scans Daily, it's that Aquaman is a sex fiend. ;)

[lithera.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*

They can do that.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

...even the parts where he had a threesome with his grandmother?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Bah. BAH! Likely we won't go anywhere near that.

Hush woman, before you make me grumpy with you and your willing lack of DCness.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

*snicker*

Me comics budget be limited, lassie! Th' picture books be like sweet t'baccy. Ya gots to git 'em young else they be seduced by t'other side. I cannae think o' any Marvel books I be willin' t'give up fer th' unknown waters o' DC.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Bah. Most of Marvel is so awful right now. And there are so many characters I WANT PLAYERS FOR.

*ahem*

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

IT'LL GET BETTER!

Really. Honest. It...*sniff*... they wouldn't do this to their loyal fans forever.

Plus, I'm a continuity whore. I NEED to know background and plots and...let's just say it would cost me hundreds of dollars to get caught up on DC goodness. Another dining room chair broke today. I don't know how my man would react if I told him, "look, baby, we can sit on piles of trade paperbacks. Really!"

There are places you could start that wouldn't be so painful, though... *snuffles*

The Wonder Twins are even free right now. Or you could play a Green Lantern who has only been seen a few times... Or.. *scuffs her feet*

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

The Wonder Twins? As in, from the Superfriends cartoon, or did they ever show up in the actual comics.

temptress

[lithera.livejournal.com]

As is pretty much from the cartoon. There was a bit of work done to make them a little less cheesetastic but... pretty much they are who they are.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

Damn you, woman!

I promise nothing while I am in the midst of moving hell and job hunting. if anyone else applies for them before mid-October, don't hold the parts on my behalf. If they're still free then...perhaps I could be seduced by delicious cheese.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

There has been no interest a'tall.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

I took a look at the Wikipedia page. I like Zan's powers better, but I also vastly prefer playing girls. Hmm.

Cheese tempts me.

[elscoobysnacko.livejournal.com]

I always found it funny how the boy seemed to turn into a form of water no matter what.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

Yup. Zan's power is essentially water elemental while his sister is a shapeshifter who specializes in animals. However, I am amused that, since she's an alien, she can shift into a "human" animal and walk around looking like a little sweedish foregin exchange student if it amuses her.

You know what happened the first time Mike and I saw a commercial for Moonlight?

Immediately after watching it we turned to look at each other and simultaneously said "Forever Knight".

It's not exactly the same premise, but it's pretty darn close.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Not much different there. Except, you know, the whole LA thing. I'm gonna watch it anyway.

[mike-mccall.livejournal.com]

Interestingly, Forever Knight was what I used to counter Liza's immediate dismissal of Moonlight as "an angel rip-off". I mean, the premise is pretty well-established.

[flusterbunny.livejournal.com]

If "Burn Notice" hadn't just ended, I'd suggest you watch that. Ex-spy in Miami goes around helping people.

Bruce Campbell is in it, too.

I'm pissed I missed the season finale.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Hrmmmm. *nods* A good idea. I will have to look into it.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yep. That's pretty much where things are sitting.

What would it be... What... would it be?
