This thread is for discussion of all comic-based movie releases. DC, Marvel, what have you. Include crazy ones like Cowboys & Aliens, which is a terrible comic but might make for a fun movie. Dredd (September 21, 2012)  -Based on the Brit comic 2000 AD, the film will follow Judge Dredd as he refuses to remove his helmet. In a post-apocalyptic city, Dredd is training rookie Judge Anderson(Olivia Thirlby) and gets called to a monolithic slum, controlled by drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey). After they capture one of her men, she unleashes a war within the slum that only Dredd can stop. Karl Urban is the man under Judge Dredd's helmet, and it's being directed by (assumed helmetless) Pete Travis. The entire film was screened at comic-con to positive feedback. Trailer And Dredd is the last film for this year! For 2013: Iron Man 3 (May 3, 2013)  -All the old cast from the first 2 return with Shane Black directing. The story is shaping up to be based off the "Extremis" story-line, where after a rash of deaths involving a nanotech "virus" (another super-soldier serum attempt), Tony is called in to help. Ben Kingsley is slated to appear as the villain Mandarin, who is described as "more of a behind-the-scenes kind of villain". Guy Pierce is cast as Aldrich Killian, one of the creators of Extremis. Man of Steel (June 14, 2013)  -Henry Cavill is Superman! Amy Adams will also appear as Lois Lane. Diane Lane and Kevin Costner will play Clark Kent's adoptive Earth parents, while Russell Crowe and Julia Ormond are in talks to be Superman's birth parents. Michael Shannon will be stepping into the role of General Zod. Zac Snyder is directing, while Nolan is producing. G.I. Joe: Retaliation (  As Cobra Commander takes over America and frames the GI Joes for a crime they didn't commit, as well as killing many of them, a small band of survivors work to save the world from Cobra conquest. Dwytne Johnson, a returning Channing Tatum and Ray Park, and Adrianne Palicki serve as the remains of GI Joe, as well as Bruce Willis who joins up as the Original G.I. Joe. Arnold Vosloo plays Zartan, masqurading as the President serving Cobra Commander, but is not played by JGL.

The Amazing Spider-man (July 3, 2012)  -The anticipated Spider-man reboot. Andrew Garfield is Peter Parker, living with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May played by Martin Sheen and Sally Fields.

Peter's parents are also going to make an appearance, played by Campbell Scott and Julianne Nicholson. This is being directed by Marc Webb, who's only feature film credit so far is 500 Days of Summer. Trailer The Amazing Movie Thread -How Did It Do?- Well enough to garner a sequel. Reviews were fairly positive, sighting a more enjoyable Peter Parker and praise for the rest of the cast. Criticized for retreading some of the same points as the first 2 Spider-man movies. It's sitting at over $525,000,000, more than double it's budget. Men In Black 3 (May 25, 2012)  -Agent J (Will Smith) learns that Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) is in danger of getting killed in the past by alien Boris (Jemaine Clement) and must go back to 1969 to save him.

Direct by Joss Whedon, it includes Cap, Iron Man, and Thor, with Mark Rufflo joining as Bruce Banner, and Tom Hiddleston as Loki making a villainous return. Scarlett Johansson will be returning as Natasha Romanoff, while Jeremy Renner will finally make a real appearance as Clint Barton. Cobie Smulders will also debut as Fury's right-hand woman Maria Hill. Thread Teaser Trailer Superbowl Trailer UK Trailer Japanese Trailer Definitive Trailer -How Did It Do?- Favorable reviews, and the only movie that might beat the box office records it's been making is The Dark Knight Rises. Expect number 2 in 3 or 4 years. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence  "Johnny Blaze, still struggling with the curse of being the Ghost Rider, is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when a secret sect of the church asks him to save a boy from the devil. At first Johnny is reluctant to use his power, but it's the only way to save the boy and possibly rid himself of this curse forever." -A Ghost Rider sequel, then reboot now sequel again, it still stars Nic Cage. Johnny Whitworth is the villain Blackout, transformed from a human by the Devil who's played by Ciarán Hinds. muscles like this? posted:Something to be pointed out is that Ghost Rider 2 is directed by Neveldine/Taylor so good or bad its going to be pretty crazy at least.  He will pee. In 3D. Feb. 2012. Rated PG-13 Released: February 17 Trailer Trailer 2 -How Did It Do?- It brought in over $122,000,000 which is over twice it's cost. It's been panned pretty bad but goons say it makes for some dumb fun. The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn  Based on The Adventures of Tintin by Georges "Hergé" Remi, this is directed by Steven Spielberg, and produced by Peter Jackson. It combines the comics The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn, and Red Rackham's Treasure. Jamie Bell voices Tintin, with Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are also in the film as Thomson and Thompson. It's CGI, and will also be discussed in the Animation Gigathread. Released: December 23, 2011 Trailer -How Did It Do?- Great! The most damning praise critically seems to be that it looks great but the story is only serviceable. It's already on track for a sequel. Captain America: The First Avenger  The next big movie coming up. Scrawny art nerd Steve Rogers becomes hero to all. Punches Hitler and Hugo Weaving in the face (we hope). Dominic Cooper plays Howard Stark, future father of Iron Man, Stanley Tucci is Dr. Abraham Erskine who creates the syrum that makes Steve into Captain America. Hayley Atwell and Sebastian Stan are also in as Captain America's two closest allies, Peggy Carter and Bucky Barnes. Released: July 22 Trailer: US Awesome posters. -How Did It Do?- Pretty good. Cost under $200 million, made about $300 million, RT score. From the sound of things Marvel fans love it, movie goers like it. Cowboys & Aliens  Some people have small hopes for this. Daniel Craig wakes up in the desert with an alien device on his arm and no memory, then finds out he's a wanted criminal. Harrison Ford comes to take him in, but the town they're in gets attacked by aliens. Olivia Wilde and Sam Rockwell are also in it. Released: July 29 Trailer -How Did It Do?- Not great. Cost $163 million, made $93 million. RT score. The word "fun" keeps popping up, but not the word "good". If anything needs to be added (or removed) just let me know. Links would be awesome too.

Two weeks wouldn't be enough to put distance between them? Honestly I'm excited more for Spider-man. That might be just because it's a bigger mystery than Batman, which I'm starting to feel we're going to get reports from nerds on what an actor ate for lunch that day and how that might play into the movie. If anything does get crushed though, I'd suspect Spider-man.

I'm sure Spider-Man will do gangbusters it's opening weekend, unless it gets Green Lantern caliber reviews or something. And yeah, I think Batman in 2 weeks will definitely cut into it's box office in the long run, especially if it's anywhere near the phenomenon that The Dark Knight was. Unless, as Electronico6 said, DKR ends up being horrible. Which I very much doubt it will be.

I'm kind of worried about Spiderman because Peter Parker looks like a stoner, but I'm still hopeful that the movie will turn out good. I just hope they tone down the lame secret identity interfering with his love life drama.

They shot the stuff he added, but then cut it all out, and wouldn't let him into the editing room, which is a big thing with him. I believe he changed the entire cut of American History X in the edit, in fact. I loved the guy as Banner, but if he's that much of a hassle to work with...Ruffalo will do fine.

I don't give a gently caress what the naysayers say, I enjoyed Green Lantern and would gladly pay see a sequel. I actually liked it better than any of the X-men movies (other than First Class, which I haven't seen), because it was at least openly goofy, whereas with X-men I never had any idea whether it was supposed to serious or hilarious. I mean really, Magneto crushing the gates of Auschwitz?

As for the whole Norton situation, I'd have to say if Marvel is looking for a certain feel, I don't blame them for not wanting to let Norton take scissors to what they had down. Though I am very curious about what his cut looks like.

From what we know about Norton's cut, from interviews and such, it would have had a lot less action focus and a lot more plot. There was the whole arctic suicide with the Captain America cameo that was on the blu ray, and then a lot more stuff with him trying to cure himself and all that. I have a feeling Marvel probably saw what he wanted and freaked the gently caress out at the possibility of a repeat of Ang Lee's movie, and that's why they didn't go with what he wanted. I honestly think they were probably right, although I would like to see an extended cut just to see that footage.

It's goofy in the same way the 9/11 issue of Spiderman was goofy. Something about the holocaust and dudes running around in capes just doesn't go together at all, it's like having Indiana Jones liberate a concentrate camp, the difference in tone is just too much. Superhero comics have never been particularly great at addressing social issues in a direct way. It's hard to take any attempt at such seriously when most female superheroes wear stripper outfits with bodies to match, among other things. Despite things like X-men addressing racism indirectly, both Marvel and DC have had issues with race at times as well.
