<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The new superman movie where supposedly Gylenh....fuck it I'm not even gonna try to spell it......Jake signed on to play Clark Kent - I am not a big superman fan so I really don't care much.

X-Men 3 - Oh fuck yes

Green Lantern - Hellz yeah. Depending on what storyline they are doing it could be fantastic.

Elektra - Um....did you see daredevil, Hellz no.

Y the Last Man - I can't believe they are doing this one and I don't know how they will but if it's anything compared to the comic it will be fucking amazing. Plus it would have a monkey and monkey's rule. It's gonna be a New Line production so....I dunno. I just hope they don't try to make it into a half porno...

Batman: Beginning - Hell yes

Catwoman - Please shoot me.

Daredevil 2 - once again, shoot me if I ever try to even download it......

Wonder Woman - Depends on how it's done, could easily be a good movie but more than likely be "Catwomaned"

There are many more but these stick out the most to me</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Variety reports that 20th Century Fox has nearly found its Fantastic Four...

Studio has signed Michael Chiklis to play Ben Grimm/the Thing, Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic and Chris Evans as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch. And Jessica Alba, currently shooting Dimension's Sin City, has emerged as most likely to play Sue Richards/the Invisible Woman, though Rachel MacAdams and Keri Russell are also candidates.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Even though I doubt it'll ever get finished or even given proper treatment, I'd really like to see Ghost Rider. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it'll get mishandled, perhaps mainly because he doesn't play nice like the other superheros do (if you'd call him a "hero").</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It also depends on whether Cage (Nicholas) is still doing it. Then it goes from big budget (ie. formulaic, like Daredevil) to mid-level and can actually be done properly (ie. Dark City or Darkman)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Well it's more of a Cruise being interested in the role and the people making the film liking simon rex. that;s a fucking bad choice if I have ever heard one. I'd rather have a short as hell iron man than a no talent actor who'se main roles have been in softcore porn</div>
