Because Geoff Johns asked for people to say so on his Twitter, I'm going to say that he and Greg Rucka should work on the mystery project together. Because, well, awesome. I am all in favor. Feel free to mention how in favor you may be as well. (I gotta get on this Twitter thing. I know, I know, I keep saying that.)

On a related note, Mr. Rucka has a new comic out yesterday - Stumptown. I have not gotten to pick up my copy yet but from what I've seen, if you're at all a fan of Q&C or Gotham Central, this would be for you: http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/comicproportions/2009/11/05/quickie-comic-review-stumptown-no-1/

Heat Vision reports that John C. Reilly and Mary-Louise Parker are in talks to join the cast of Red. (Summit Entertainment's adaptation of the Wildstorm/DC Comics miniseries by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner. http://www.dccomics.com/wildstorm/graphic_novels/?gn=1319) Helen Mirren signed on to play an assassin earlier this week.

Gerard Butler has signed on to join the cast of Coriolanus, as Tullus Aufidius. It has been awhile since I've read that one...

Screen Daily is reporting that actress Nicole Kidman will be joining Robert Pattinson in "Bel Ami." That will be interesting as it is a biopic about 19th Century French writer Guy de Maupassant, a young man who scandalously slept his way to the top of Paris' high society in the 1890's with some of the city's most influential women.

Steve Guttenberg is saying that there is going to be another Three Men and a Baby movie and maybe there should be another Police Academy movie. Me thinks he is just looking for something to do.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that J.J. Abrams is in talks to produce a movie about the Japanese interchangeable toys Micronauts, which Hasbro just acquired. Oooookay.

On the same sort of Hasbro note... Columbia Pictures & Overbrook Entertainment (Will Smith's company) are developing a movie based on Risk..... Uh-huh. Land war in Asia, yadda, yadda.

Pajiba says that Hasbro is hard at work to resurrect Jem. Ummm. Jem was cool and all but it was SO VERY 80s. SO, SO, SO 80s.

Johnny Depp is in negotiations to join "The Tourist." He would star with Angelina Jolie as "an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue and danger by a female Interpol agent as she attempts to locate a criminal who was once her lover." That'd be okay with me.

And speaking of Angelina, the trailer for Salt is here: http://www.latinoreview.com/news/pour-some-angelina-on-those-wounds-with-this-salty-trailer-8453

And while we're at it on the whole trailer thing, here is the new Holmes trailer: http://www.latinoreview.com/news/brand-new-trailer-for-sherlock-holmes-8451

And here is a new Caprica trailer:

What is the mystery project and what did it do to deserve Geoff Johns?

well, I just emailed my shop to put a copy of Stumptown #1 in my file to try out ^_^ thanks for pointing it out!

Also, do you know if "The Tourist" you mention above is based on Brian Wood's comic?

I agree. I totally agree. Butm every other property they burn through brings us that much closer to something with Bionic Six. I wait.

No problem. I know sometimes the non-big two stuff gets easy to miss.

And I'm not sure but I can check.

Heh. If they'd tried Jem pre-crazy Brittney that might have worked... I don't know.

Well, Thundercats is stalled to all hell as is He-Man, which are probably for the best. So, we're getting to ... what... Galaxy Rangers?

There is one person online I would trust to modernize Jem. I'll have to seek them out.

That, or a revival of Defenders of the Earth. Maybe King Features Syndicate could be persuaded.

(Goes to check his Amazon wish list. Yep, I did add Galaxy Rangers DVDs to it.)
