In the mid-00s this was actually the plan for the scrapped Warriors remake, being "true to the novel" and grounded by having a mostly black/Hispanic cast, setting it in LA, and having massive brawls.


The modern version of the original's campy comic book look with the matching themed costumes would probably be something like Hotline Miami, and I would love to see N&T's take on that kind of insanity.

I can't get used to the controls of Hotline but I'd love love love to see N/T do a movie adaptation of it, too bad movie studios aren't that cool :sigh:

Looks like Deadpool broke a record for highest grossing R-rated Thursday night preview at $12.7 million dollars, beating out Hangover II and Fifty Shades Of Grey. And no movie that has made $10 million on it's preview release has yet to make under $85 million at the box office. Box Office Mojo is now reconsidering it's initial opening weekend estimate of $72 million 4-day weekend and may surpass Fifty Shades' record for it's $85 million opening for a February weekend.

Welcome our new R-rated comic book movie overlords.

I'll have to read both the book and the Anabasis then, I'm kinda miffed that I never heard about the latter because I'm usually into Greek stuff.

Animal CGI is always really hard to make convincing, so I can't wait to see what horrors they can manage by trying to have realistic oversized animals flip up their skins and body parts to transform into giant humanoid robots.

Also, the writing for Deadpool is very hit and miss. He can be a great character if handled right, but a lot of writers just make him into an unfunny monkeycheese character.

I think there's a good chance I would like the movie, but the trailers were loving cringeworthy. I felt like I was watching comedy written by committee to appeal to 16 year old boys.

Seeing as they were inevitably overseen by a bunch of people and were no doubt pitched at mythical "key demographics" that's probably an apt description.
