Spacey gets to grow his hair back, Spidey has a new writer and Shellhead gets a novelist!

Actor Kevin Spacey is in no hurry to shave his head again, apparently -- he told SuperHeroFlix, "There are no developments right now. I know as much as the rest of the world knows ... Not that I knows of. I'm signed to do it, but I don't know anything about the storyline or the shooting schedule at this point." Spacey also noted that he's not

That's a real bummer about the Supes sequel, but as long as they take their time and DON'T KILL JASON then I can wait. I'd rather have something good than have something where Jason dies. Even ~I~ am not that cruel, and we both know that I enjoy being cruel to Supes. Anyway... The Iron Man icon there is too too!

Yeah, I know what you mean about a sequel. We managed to wait around 20 years for a Superman sequel, so we can wait a year or two for The Man of Steel. As the saying goes, the best things come to those who wait.

As for Jason and Clark angst, I've read (and kinda/sorta beta'd) your work, so yes - I know exactly how cruel you can be to the alien and his hybrid prodigy! Traumatize them to within an inch of their lives, sure - but kill them? Not your style...

P.S. - thanks for the compliment for my icon making skills. It's what you do when you're stuck at home feeling unwell and need something to pass the time with (if you're me).

Boy, it seems that DC is having problems with their films. One would think that since WB is owner of DC, it would be so easy for them but it appears that's not true.

Now, the Spider-Man 4 news is very good. I like the fact they'll scale things back because 3 had too much going on and that kinda hurt the film. I would prefer just one villain but two should be fine and I hope one is the Lizard because there has been a steady build up toward him showing up since Dr. Connors has been in the last 2.

It's nice to see Peter David writing another Marvel film novelization. It should be a good read then.

DC has ALWAYS had trouble getting films off the ground. With the exception of Batman (until Joel Schumacher nearly killed a perfectly good franchise in the Clooney Bat-flick), all of DC's properties have had major false starts both on TV and on the silver screen. Wonder Woman being on the back burner is just the latest in a series of "flicks that would have been."

That said, this hasn't always been a bad thing, look at the now SUNKEN concept of a Jack Black as Hal Jordan Green Lantern movie/comedy...

I fully agree with you on the use of The Lizard, but rumour central seems to be tossing the names of The Vulture, Electro and Mysterio around (even now - past the Sinister Six), so you never can tell...

Yeah, should be a good read... All of the Iron Man novels have been in the past, and all of Peter David's comic novels have been good too. As PAD loves the script, this is also a good sign as it means it likely plays to his strengths as a writer. I live in hope.

Because you KNOW how many tabs I have open:

SR - WAH! I don't want to wait... :(
Spidey - Eh, we'll see
IM - Peter David! I'll be buying that, too! He seriously can write them novelizations.

[van_el]

And in a similar manner, my reply:

SR - I know, and the Writers' Guild Strike ain't helping...
Spidey - Same here.
IM - YAY!YAY!YAY!
