SOME GEEKY NEWS BITS

* WB has stated HAL JORDAN in the upcoming Green Lantern movie will not be super young - instead they want someone in their late-20s or early 30s. Nice.
---
*David Twohy is currently writing RIDDICK 3. I really enjoyed the previous ('Pitch Black' and [director's cut] 'Chronicles of Riddick'), which Twohy wrote as well. They're not great - but fun sci-fi adventure.
---
* The latest casting rumor for Kenneth Branagh's upcoming THOR is True Blood's 6'4" Alexander SkarsgÄrd (Eric) as the Odin Son.
---
* Marvel is going to reboot the FANTASTIC FOUR movie franchise. Not a goddamn single person involved in the previous 2 shit-smears will be involved, and it will have a more serious less-saturday-morning-cartoon tone. Rejoice!

I didn't mind the 2 Fantastic Four films, they were fun, but then I'm not a huge fan of the comics. Seems weird after the box office that they'd reboot these though, I mean it's not like they studio listen to what critics say as long as they're raking in cash, and both films did do OK ! As for Riddick, I didn't mind the 2nd film, though it didn't feel anything like the first, but I'd be happy to see a 3rd film made !!

The GL casting callout was for arrogant hunky guys in their mid 20s.

If Fox is producing it will still be a shit smear...

RE: FF....

Marvel now has the rights back to most of their properties - although I believe Sony still has Spider-Man...

so look for more Marvel-produced movies, like Iron Man, Hulk and, um, Punisher War Zone.

No Fox..... unless I'm wrong. But that's what I understand.
