Transformers 2 out on July, 26 2009

So I just recently got around to watch Transformers the other day and I have to admit it wasn?t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I mean you could take all the humans out of the film and it would be great!!! the robot on robot fight scenes were spectacular but the actors had Michael Bay stink on them. Much like Bay’s 2005 epic The Island some of it was awe inspiring but the acting was really really bad. Some one should recut Transformers to edit all the actors out, and when the robots have to talk to any of them dub in the teachers voice from Charlie Brown.

Anyway, it looks like it made enough money in the theaters to get the sequel greenlit for 07/26/09.

According to Variety by way of cinematical.com, Jessica Biel is being considered to play Wonder Woman in the Justice League. I like this choice, Jessica is actually a good actress, but we are talking a comic book movie so it isnt Shakespeare.

George Miller will Direct ‘Justice League’

Found via Cinematical.com by way of Variety.com:

Warner Bros. is moving aggressively ahead with the bigscreen adaptation of DC Comics‘ “Justice League of America,” with George Miller aboard to direct.

Project, which is in the initial phases of casting, is a pre-strike priority for the studio, which needs a superhero tentpole for 2009.

Still, making all the pieces fit has been complicated by overlapping superhero projects in the pipeline, since “Justice League” features a pantheon of superheroes including Superman and Batman.

Batman and Superman are active properties for the studio, though the next installment in the “Superman” franchise has taken a backseat to “Justice League” in part because Warners is so keen on the “Justice League” script by Kieran and Michele Mulroney.

I am excited as long as it doesn’t turn into this.

BALTIMORE COMIC-CON XTRA: JIM LEE SPOTLIGHT – CBR.cc

CBR.cc has a recap of the Jim Lee panel at the Baltimore Comic-Con from 9/9. Here are come choice quotes:

One fan wanted to know Lee’s favorite project that he’s worked on. “I like all of them for different reasons,” Lee explained. “I think ‘Batman: Hush’ was a good one because I hadn’t done a lot of work up until then. I have the luxury of working with some of the best writers in the business.”

Jim then teases us with a X-Men return possibility:

A fan asked if there was any possibility of Lee working for Marvel Comics. He said it was possible but that he’s still under contract to DC. “I probably wouldn’t go back to X-Men,” Lee said. “If I went back to it you’d either say it was better than when I first got it or it sucks in comparison and it’s probably the latter.” Lee joked, “It’s like my ‘Die Hard 4,’ if no other projects are available I’ve got that.”
