The Hollywood Reporter mentions there are some comic-based projects being worked on. We have heard a little about Jonah Hex and Green Lantern. Human Target airs on TV in the fall. There's also a movie adaption of The Losers that will begin production this week. There will aslo be a spy thriller starring Bruce Willis called "Red."
Besides Green Lantern, where's the big guns? It turns out that there may be more movies being worked on. Last fall, Warners hired Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison and Marv Wolfman as consultants and writers for their superhero movies. This seems like a brilliant move but has caused some grumblings among Hollywood writers and agents. The good news is Johns has written a new treatment for Flash which will be written by Dan Mazeau. Warners refused to comment on the projects that Morrison and Wolfman are working on since they're in 'early stages.'
THR also reports that other movies are moving forward, some we have been hearing about for some time. Apparently Warners is taking pitch ideas for an Adam Strange feature. Aquaman might be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio (with his production company). Bizarro has been talked about for some time written by David Howard and Robert Gordon (both having done Galaxy Quest). Green Arrow has two projects as possibilities: an origin story as well as the long rumored Super Max prison movie. We might see a sequel to Constantine. A movie version of Shazam might still happen as well.
Movies in limbo include the next Batman movie (waiting for Christopher Nolan), Wonder Woman, Superman and the Justice League.
Do you think all the proposed movies will actually happen? What would you be most looking forward to? What character(s) would you want to see on the big screen? What do you think about Johns, Morrison and Wolfman being consultants?
