'Zombieland' Sequel a Go With Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin

 

[Fozz]

Wow, finally.

First one was still classic.

"Help me with my boots"

 

[...So]

.

 

[Fozz]

Wait, didn't we just have a rebooted RoboCop?

 

[Master Zik]

Wait, didn't we just have a rebooted RoboCop?

We did.

So when I read it I was wondering if they're gonna give that version a sequel? And let Neil direct it? Like Neil needs a win right now not Robocop.

Even if he reboots with his vision I'm not sure.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

It's called RoboCop Returns? Is the sequel going to be RoboCop Forever?

Blomkamp might be the perfect dude for RoboCop. Gritty action sci-fi's dealing with humanity and societal issues are his wheelhouse. Detroit might just have to suffer a couple more memes.

Surprised they were able to get everyone back for Zombieland 2.

Director is back and one of the writers, so hopefully it will have the same tone.

It will be 10 years since the first movie released. Comedy sequels have a horrible track record too.

[KingParappa]

Savage Dragon? idk.

 

[Master Zik]

Its Rogue Trooper.

Connected to all of those 2000 AD comics.

Jones isn't really that good of a director yet. I liked Moon and Source Code was okay.

I do need to see Mute but I hear its trash.

 

[KingParappa]

Okay thanks. Don't really follow any 2000AD Comics.

 

[AEA18]

 

[Master Zik]

Okay thanks. Don't really follow any 2000AD Comics.

Neither do I. Its totally a British thing.

Netflix unveils slate of Mark Millar projects for film and TV

Netflix has announced its first slate of films and series that will be based on the stories of comic writer Mark Millar. Netflix acquired Millar’s company, Millarworld, last year and since then has been developing projects with Mark and Lucy Millar, including The Magic Order, which has been published as Netflix’s first comic book and was the biggest selling new comic-book franchise in nearly 20 years.

Said Millar, “My wife Lucy and I are eleven months into our jobs at Netflix and it’s everything we hoped for to the power of ten. To see a movie based on your work every couple of years is incredibly exciting, but to see them all happening at once like this and with talent this high-end is just off the scale. These are writers and directors I’ve privately been sending fan-mail to over the last eighteen months so to be working with them all is just enormously exciting. This really is the greatest creative environment I’ve ever worked in. I can’t wait to switch on my computer every morning.”

Original series to be produced include:

Jupiter’s Legacy
A multi-generational American superhero epic, Jupiter’s Legacy follows the world’s first generation of superheroes who received their powers in the 1930’s. In present day they are the revered elder guard, but their superpowered children struggle to live up to the legendary feats of their parents. Steven S. DeKnight (Marvel’s Daredevil, Spartacus, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), who recently signed an overall deal with Netflix, will serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Dan McDermott also serving as executive producers for the series. DeKnight will also direct the first episode.

American Jesus
Multilingual (Spanish/English) series American Jesus follows a twelve-year-old boy who suddenly discovers he’s returned as Jesus Christ. He can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead! How will he deal with the destiny to lead the world in a conflict thousands of years in the making? Everardo Gout (Marvel’s Luke Cage, Sacred Lies, Mars, Banshee, Aqui En La Tierra) and Leopoldo Gout (Molly’s Game, Instinct) will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers on the series. Everardo Gout will also direct.

Film projects include:

Empress
Queen Emporia is married to (literally) the worst dictator in the galaxy, King Morax. After escaping his palace with her children, Emporia and her family, must hide from Morax and his army at all costs — even if it takes teleporting from planet to planet to avoid them. Writer Lindsey Beer (Kingkiller Chronicle and the upcoming Sierra Burgess is a Loser for Netflix and Wizards of Once for DreamWorks Animation) is adapting the comic book into a feature film, with Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum (The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle, Maleficent) set to produce.

Huck
In a quiet seaside town, Huck uses his special gifts to do a good deed each day. His neighbors return the favors by keeping his abilities a secret. But when a newcomer alerts the media, a firestorm erupts, sending Huck on an adventure that will change everything. Ted Melfi (Hidden Figures, St. Vincent) is adapting the comic book into a feature film, with Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe set to produce.

Sharkey The Bounty Hunter
Set in a brilliant new sci-fi universe, Sharkey is a blue-collar bounty-hunter tracking criminals across the galaxy in his converted, rocket-powered ice-cream truck. Aided and abetted by his ten-year-old partner, he’s out for the biggest bounty of his career. Sharkey the Bounty Hunter will be adapted and published as a Millarworld/Netflix comic next year and writer Michael Bacall (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street) is writing the screenplay for the feature film.
