    Brett Rattner gets a lot of flack over X-Men 3.  He has plans for adapting Rob Liefeld's Youngblood (and we've heard how Liefeld gets some flack sometimes too).  Now Rattner has told MTV that he would like to get Twilight star, Robert Pattinson, to be in the movie (and we really know how much flack Twilight gets).

    He just feels like he belongs in that world. I don't only see him as a vampire, he's a really good actor. 

    [Pattinson] could do anything. He just has that look. I picture him on Youngblood, for sure.

     
    I just smell trouble brewing for this movie.  I know Youngblood has its critics but I don't think it's a horrible concept.  I like the idea of a team of heroes having some celebrity status.  If we actually had dudes (and gals) running around saving us in the 'real world,' people would eat it up.  I think superheroes would be 'bigger' than movie actors.
     
    What do you think of Pattinson in the movie?  He does have 'star appeal.'  I'm not saying you may find him appealing but people know who he is since Twilight has an army of fans.  The real question is would he want to do it?  Could he do it with all the Twilight movies planned?  Are you willing to give the Youngblood movie a chance?

    They do have a resemblance and Robert is a decent actor. 
    I don't think people should disagree with this decision just because they don't like Twilight.
     
    But yeah, go Rob.

    I don't know, if the internet and Tabloid rumors are true (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *snort*), Pattinson IS looking for a way out of the Twilight series, and this may just be it! 
     
    I think he's a decent actor, it just kinda bothers me that he always looks Stoned and/or hungover! XD

    Uh.... Did everyone forget he was in Harry Potter? Anyway, I've never read Youngblood, but it does look like he would make a good Shaft.

    Rectify. Shaft. Twilight.  This post is sounding "fabulouth" already.  
    Anyhoo, I'd still see the movie though I've not seen Twilight nor anything this actor has been in.  I still would give this movie a chance.  As you said, G-Man, the concept behind the book IS good and IS very plausible on many levels.

    I didn't think x-3 was that bad.  It was a bit stale because there wasn't a new villian, and the movie was to short for any kind of character development,  but if he does it right, maybe give it a little bit more of a style to it, instead of just an action movie it could work.

    I don't like the idea of it. Shaft is really good character, and all that will happen in a Brett Ratner film is that he will get butchered no matter who plays him. I vote no to having Brett be apart of the movie in any way, shape or form.

    I actually was a big fan of the youngblood comic back when the image universe started, same with storm watch, wild c.a.t.s, and cyber force... until they all got gay.

    He's got the hair for it, why not? Aside from a generation of teenage boys that despise him because their female counterparts squeel with glee when his name is mentioned.

    youngblood movie would be kool, but i rather see a good spawn 2...this guy definetly looks like the main character in a way but i think unless he does roids lol he cant pull off a serious youngbloods might as well get someone else unless they make it a teen titan type movie and far from the hard core nature of the comic....

    Twilight was probably the most boring movie I've seen in a while. That's the itself. I never want to see that tard's face on a movie screen again. Ratner f'd up X-men pretty hard, but Youngbloods isn't X-men. I've only read a couple of them, not really a fan. I wouldn't bad mouth it though. Ratner might be able to make something decent out of it, I just don't see why they would go with him and not a more cerebral director.

    YES!!! Get one of the worst actors of the last 20 years to play one of the worst comic characters of the last 20 years! PERFECT!!!
     
    Good lord, "Youngblood" is going to be everything that was horrible about "Transformers" and "G.I. JOE", pumped full of Liefeldian steroids. Their feet will all disappear, they'll do nothing but clench their teeth for two hours, and above all lose their car keys amongst the 5,000 pouches attached to their bodies. Oh, and of course EXPLOSIONS~!!! 
     
    Could you imagine Michael Bay and Liefeld teaming-up for a movie? Ratner is bad enough...

    Even if a Youngblood movie ever got off the ground (Somehow I doubt it), I hope that they dont use Pattinson.  It seems like they just want somebody with star power to play the leed.

    Cedric Digory would be awesome as Shaft maybe Kristen Stewart could play Riptide, and Ashley Greene could play Vogue, Ryan Reynolds as Diehard, Justin Bieber can voice Bedrock and Idris Elba as Chapel.
