Comics and the movies...

[pfloyd]

I've been thinking of a list of comics I'd like to see done as movies, and who would best fit the title roles...

Here goes...


Green Arrow -- For a while, I've thought that Dennis Quaid could do a good GA... and I'd want Kevin Smith to write it.
Doctor Strange -- Shall we give some more work to Johnny Depp? Who else could do a good Sorceror Supreme?
Captain America
Hawkeye
Jon Sable, Freelance - They once did a TV show loosely based on the comic, but I don't remember it very well. We need a new version. Creator Mike Grell once stated that he would love to see Jim Caviezel (sp?) in the role.
Strangers in Paradise, though on second thought, it should be done as a long-running series on cable. Get Terry Moore in on the adaptation and we'll be all set.



Any other suggestions?

Green Arrow is in Smallville right now.

Damn, I forgot!

I'm talking big screen though...

Yeah I know, but was just wondering if you knew about the Green Arrow on Smallville.

I did, I saw a pic of him too... When's it on, and how many eps of him did I miss?

I think it's up to 4 episodes now, the 5th one with him in it I think is this Thursday, I think 8 pm on the new CW.

i always thought (and still think) _captain america_ would make an excellent john woo film -- something about the fluidity of motion seems ideally suited to hong kong cinematography, and we know from experience woo loves the ww2 period pieces.

failing that: there are half a hundred woo clones now. (yuen woo ping, stephen chow, ringo lam, sammo hung, tsui hark?) i keep hearing rumors of ray park's next project being a somewhat-modernized _iron fist_ adaptation.
