Why can't they remake Condorman already. Just update the comic book artist to a webcomic artist and change the Russian spies into international banking cartel agents and we're all set.
I still can't believe that the original stars Michael "Phantom of the Opera" Crawford.
They could even change the webcomic artist to an actor whose latest superhero movie bombed. If they make his costume have nipples and get George Clooney to wear it, so much the better, right?
I have the original movie on VHS. Is wasn't that good when I first saw it (although I did like the ship, and wish more sci-fi shows used that kind of living ship, instead of quasi-living ship, like Andromeda) and I can't expect it to be much better.
So in short: They're remaking a bad movie with a possible cult following, and they really expect it to be better. And think we know where this is going to lead to.
Seriously, this is why Disney should just let Pixar do all of its movies and leave Disney to focus on television shows and the amusement park business.
The problem I have with anything Lucas-related and SW is that it just shows that he's always never been happy with the thing.
When it first started out, it was to be 9 movies, and the tale of the robots... Now, it's 6 movies and it's the tale of the Rise, Fall and Redemption of Anakin Skywalker.
Lucas has really been two-faced about the whole thing, and he lost a whole lot of respect from me because of it.
Well, it wasn't until the Prequels and the re-mastered OT that Lucas started getting really artsy. The whole changing of ANH is what drove the nail into the coffin for me and a lot of fans.
Honestly, I think he just started getting lazy and couldn't be bothered to do anything else. The prequels did have that 'phoned in' feeling...
Among other things, I'm just amazed at the choice of names. "Kit Fisto" still makes me wonder how secluded Lucas is if that name didn't immediately make him realize the implications.
I'm trying to imagine the FFN crew of power-gamers and rules-lawyers playing ANY kind of Burning Wheel game, much less the Mouse Guard supplement. Creates a total mental disconnect...
It's possible that the second they get into it enough to do their normal thing, they might hesitate thinking, "I'm getting into a game about mice" and it breaks their munchkin-flow. :)
He is and more. "Deadpool" is one of the funniest comics out there currently, and it could be an amazing superhero movie. I'm kind of amazed it isn't, given the great one-liners he's constantly uttering, making the usual "action hero quips" sound like they belong.
There's also Squirrel Girl. I'm not making this up. The only person who could possibly be as nutty as Deadpool. The comic book wizards will probably have Deadpool and Squirrel Girl married at some point.

And really, though, Anakin is secondary; it's the tale of R2D2 and all the weird people he's had to put up with.
