lithera""The Dark Knight” producer Charles Roven and “Transporter” producer Steve Chasman are teaming up to produce “The Destroyer,” a franchise vehicle that brings back ’80s action hero Remo Williams. The pair have set up the project at Columbia." - From RiskyBusinessBlog.com.
Remo.... Really? Man, I loved that cheesey mess of a movie. Especially the theme song. Because that was amazingly 80s in the same way LadyHawke's theme is too. Looks like they're going back to the books for this one, the concept of which sounds very Suicide Squad - "Williams is sentenced to the electric chair, but his death is faked so he can be reborn as the vigilante character the Destroyer, joining a top-secret assassin squad set up by the government to operate outside the bounds of the law."
Animation greats Hayao Miyazaki and John Lasseter and directors Robert Zemeckis and Tim Burton will take part in their first ever Comic-Con, per Disney's press release.
Comics Continuum has an unconfirmed report that Warner Bros. Animation is pushing forward with an animated “Jonah Hex” short film. The rumor goes that this might pave the way for other short film projects if it does well.
Marvel has announced that the Ultimates line is... (sighs) going to get 'Foilogram' covers. Really? We're back to that? 3-D, Holographic foil covers? “The following Special Variant covers for the launch of the new Ultimate Comics line will be a Foilogram cover with the regular cover art surrounded by holographic foil.”

(Bonus points for them if they just pick up from the end of movie #1)
[A forlorn hope I know, but it'd be neat.]
