Moon Knight???Movie? Will it work?(I hope so)

[MICROSGHOST]

Would a Moon Knight movie work if done with by the same people as Spiderman with a high budget and caring writers/actors? I think it would be Marvel's perfect answer to Batman. What do you think? If you agree who would you want to play Marc Spector, Frenchie, Marlene, Bushman?

Moon Knight has got to be the coolest little-known-superhero there is.

[skorponok]

That would totally represent, BUT I don't think that it has to be done with a huge budget or by the Spider-team to work.

[Rukus]

Yeah I would definately like to see a Moon Knight movie be made. He such a cool underrated character in the marvel universe.

excellent question, very glad you asked that. You see marc Spector got ambushed by Bushman. Bushman left him for dead in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Miraculously Pyramids appear out of nowhere and it turns out to be the Egyptian Moon God Khonshu. Well after blessing Spector with super-human powers (He can press 5 tons during a full Moon) Marc Specter takes on the title of " The Fist of Khonshu "
or Moon Knight for you unaware fans out there.i do declare...

[MICROSGHOST]

What makes him so special? I first heard about him in 1989 during the first Batman film hype. i always knew Marvel had better chances to pull off stories better then DC. Anyway at 5 ton strength level, he could give Bats a show.

Ah, thank you MICROSGHOST. I own that Punisher Annual, going to have to finally get around to reading it sometime. :D

[MICROSGHOST]

Yea its a great read. Punisher and Moon Knight are homies, and reinhold draws thr best Moon Knight I have seen.

[MICROSGHOST]

As for actors I can see jene Reno playing frenchie, but I would go with unknowns for the rest.

[MICROSGHOST]

oh so nobody ants to respond back huh?

[3dman27]

i have a question does moon knights strengh stii change with the phases of the moon after encountering the werewolf by night?

Moon Knight is an exciting character, but if he makes it to the big screen before Doctor Strange, I'll go completely insane.

He's got the normal strength of an Olympic athlete until a Full Moon increases his strength by five tons.


Ive been thinking alot on who would play Marc Spector and for some reason when I started reading his early work his character reminded me of Tom Jones. Well read his dialogue in Moon Knight #8 where he teams up with the Punisher, his dialogue to me sounds like a tough guy from Brooklyn, nothing at all like Bruce Wayne's character. Spector even asked the Punisher "are you always this chatty?" My personal opinion who could play Spector's role the best, (I may get flamed for this.) but whenever you read a Moon Knight comic use Vin Diesel's voice when Spector speaks. I think he's play fine in a MoonKnight movie, Moon Knight started as a mercenary turned Shadow Night butt kicking Avenger, Diesel acts and talks like a mercenary plus,all Diesel really needs is a perm and a hair dye. What do you think????

[Spidey-Quad]

I'd love to see Moon Knight fighting WereWolf by Night, Morbious, or Vamps. Sort of an answer to the Blade series.

Moon Knight stands out for two three main reasons:

1. Spirituality. Moon Knight draws heavily on Egyptian mythology and religion.
2. Mystery. There's always been a big emphasis on the mysterious, much more so than other superhero comics.
3. Identity. Moon Knight has two secret identities - but it's the same person. Confused? Think how he feels.

[Isildur´s Heir]

Of the underrated characters, Moon Knight and Iron First were always my favorites...so, yeah, i would love to see the movie based on Marc Spector

[Kevin Roegele]

Avi Arad has said that a Moon Knight movie may be on the cards at some point.

[medguy]

How about a Moon Knight movie starring Christian Bale as Moon Knight, Michael Caine as Frenchie, oh, uh, wait. Never mind.

[3dman27]

but who'd play marlene'?

Well the guy's also Schizo on top of all that, which I think would make an interesting dynamic. Have Matt Damon play the role, and you'd have a sure hit on your hands.

[MICROSGHOST]

Well heres some unknown trivia for you Spector is jewish, yet he rejected his jewish heritage as a young lad. Its quite interesting that later he takes up the mantle of an Egyptian Moon God. I wonder if Marvel had a hidden agenda here?

[3dman27]

i wouldn't know

[Nightwing: Endgame]

Moon Knight would make a SIC movie.. it would be really kool to see a lesser known character have his own movie

[MICROSGHOST]

And when they do that movie i hope they get a veteran Hong Kong action director that don't give a f***. true vintage Shaw Bros sound effects, cgi pulleys, special effects the whole nine yards. I hope its a movie where you have to contain yourself from standing up and kicking!!!!!

[ObakeTora]

I voted that you were on crack.

[RAMORE]

Love moonknight it would so work. I used to think cruise cause he would dig the multiple personalities thing but he's to big budget. Now i think Jim Cavaziel who every time i see him fades into a character and i forget it's him.

[HighVoltage]

Yeah a Moon Knight Movie Should Be Great!!!!

:up::up::cool::cool:

[ObakeTora]

who should be the main villain besides Bushman? Im really sick of origin stories nowadays.

[HighVoltage]

Crossbones or Taskmaster!!!!

:up::up::cool::cool:

[ObakeTora]

Taskmaster gets all my vote. That guy is so bad-ass!!!!

[Philly Phanboy]

I voted no because I doubt that his character would translate well to the big screen.

If Marvel wanted to use his character, I could see him better suited to a video game like Xmen Legends only with Marvel's vigilante characters from the original Marvel Knights series (Moon Knight, Punisher, Daredevil, Black Widow, Dagger, Luke Cage and Shang Chi)

[Tissues]

I think a movie would work...

[ObakeTora]

After Begins Hell yea this movie would work. If done right I do so declare!!!! hehehe! If the fight scenes were dead on, if the action was right then heck yea! Micro I love your idea of using the shaw bros. vintage Hong Kong action all the way. What I beleived Begins was lacking was unclear fight scenes. But Moon Knight would have a chance to represent!!!!!@

[Mauser9910]

I'd love to play Frenchie but Vincent Cassel would do much better than me ! :D
(Cassel is the laser dodger in Ocean's 12.)

Otherwise, yeah, I see much more potentil in a Moon Knight movie than in Deathlock for example...

[ObakeTora]

Why not get the reclusive Stephen Norrington to direct. I loved his work on Blade 1.

[Peyton Westlake]

What should have happened to introduce Moon Knight to mainstream cinema was.....scrap the idea of NightStalkers in Blade 3 , Hannibal was far too campy 'Adam West Batman' for me. They should have introduced Moon Knight in Blade 3, helping Blade fight a more ferocious Dracula. Then possibly setting up Moon Knight for his own sequel or at least a Blade 4 paired with Moon Knight again.

[Chris Wallace]

It could work. It'll be hard to bring ANY second-stringer to the screen. But Blade proved that it can be done & it can be done well.

[Peyton Westlake]

I think, it would be more appealing to film a Moon Knight movie over say a big budget Namor movie. It would just come down to having a kick-ass script, and just a few special effects, like the 1st Blade movie. Write it so he is a dark, brooding character, with a good story around him. I think that has more potential then trying to have Namor be Marvel's 'Lord of the Rings'.

[ObakeTora]

I thought Thor was intended to be marvel's Lord of the rings. Anyway, I wonder what you guys think of my choice for Director. I hope they don't have trouble bringing this film, because I beleive alot of fanboys will be calling Moon Knight a Batman rip off. Well for starters Moon Knight "kills" people.

[Peyton Westlake]

I still think Moon Knight would be a better choice then a few of the bigger names Marvel is trying to put on the fast track, like Namor or Capt. America. Moon Knight needs little for a budget ,but if it has an effective writer , can be huge like Blade was. Maybe, someone like Jonathan Hensleigh who wrote Die Hard with a Vengeance & the Punisher might be a choice for Moon Knight.

[Spider-Kurt]

Moon Knight stands out for two three main reasons:

1. Spirituality. Moon Knight draws heavily on Egyptian mythology and religion.
2. Mystery. There's always been a big emphasis on the mysterious, much more so than other superhero comics.
3. Identity. Moon Knight has two secret identities - but it's the same person. Confused? Think how he feels.There are your reasons right there! One part Batman.One part Blade. Add the aforementioned elements and I don't see how they could miss the boat on this.

no offense to Guy Pearce (whose name seems to come up w/o much thought behind it for every comic role) but he has a very small build for a guy his height. i guess you could always heaviliy pad the Moon Knight costume but why bother?

[Muze]

Crossbones or Taskmaster!!!!

:up::up::cool::cool:




naw. Crossbones should be one of the supporting villains in the Captain America sequel (if they ever get that far). Taskmaster should get his own movie. he's got action anti-hero written all over him. his solo series read like a movie. maybe it could be Jason Statham's breakout comic book role.

Ok, I guess I didn't explain my answer fully. He's a good actor who can play a disturbed person quite well. As for his build, I don't think it's much of an issue since he can bulk up. Besides, how tall is Moon Knight supposed to be? Height nor weight never really transfers accurately to film anyways. Also, I'd rather have him (since he's a decent actor imho) than Vin Diesel any day. No offense to Vin fans.

[Peyton Westlake]

What about Jim Caviezel?

[MWOF]

I know he is getting older, but I always thought Mel Gibson would play an excellent Marc Spector and I think Jean Reno would be awesome as Frenchie. I always remembered when I had my first vision of Moon Knight on the big screen was in Stargate the movie. When Ra sends his ships out to attack the people you see these 2 ships launch out of the pyramid and they look like the crescent/scarab shaped Moon Copter and the later jet type flyer Marc had. As soon as I saw that I was like wow so that's what the Moon ship would look like in a Moon Knight movie.

That's a great idea Peyton!! Have Moon Knight appear in Blade 3 and at the alternate ending were Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds are fighting the Werewolves in the bar Moon Knight shows up to lend a hand. You see Ryan reynolds and Jessica Beil being surrounded by werewolves. It looks like it's a no win situation for the two and then close up Ryan and you see him smirk and behind the werewolves is Moon Knight and the battle starts. Paving the way for the Moon Knight solo movie.

I've heard somuch about him, what exactly makes him so good? From what I know he's kind of like Batman, only darker with a MPD or something?

The large difference between Batman and Moon Knight is their motivation for what they choose to do. Batman is motivated by anger and revenge stemming from the murder of his parents. Moon Knight is motivated by the guilt stemming from the disassociation from his father and his life as a mercenary. He is trying to redeem himself. I don't feel Marc really ever intended to become a mercenary. I think it was just a natural flow starting from the choice to leave home and join the Marines. It was an escape for him, someplace to channel the resentment he was feeling. Leaving the military after 8 years, I assume being fed up with taking orders and red tape, he became bored and his military connections led him to become a liason for the CIA. After partaking in that for some period of time, he again became frustrated with the red tape and disagreement with what he was doing. His next natural step was to become a mercenary, getting around all of that red tape and quagmire filled with the motivations of others. He was finally free to exercise his beliefs and natural abilities. After a while he began to see that everything was not black and white, realizing that innocent people were being killed he finally reached a point where enough was enough. His boss, Bushman, was using him for his personal gain, similar to his past experiences in the military and CIA, and now innocent people were losing their lives as well. His transformation into Moon Knight was a second chance on life, to do what he knows and feels is right. To stop those whom he had worked for whose motivations were nothing more than the molding and manipulation of others and everything for their own personal gain. Throughout all of this Marc Spector became ashamed of himself and what he has partaken in. Even though he has a second chance in life he feels others would never forgive him for his past. The result is Marc's creation of the other personas, trying to deny his life as Marc Spector and gain acceptance of others by creating personas of how he would truly choose to be and how he would like others to see and accept him. All in all, Moon Knight is a tough cookie, as is Batman, and they do share a similar style of costume, however the similarities stop there. On the inside is a totally different reality.

I knew MoonKnight had potential when I started this thread (under a diff username) Now that I read Marvel Knights I feel Spector got misrepresented. He isnt the type to walk away from a team because of an injury. If I had it my way I'd like to see MN appear in a Blade 4 movie, done with the same people on Blade1.

[Peyton Westlake]

MWOF...your insight into the possible shaping of Moon Knight's persona is well done. So good in fact, it should be used as a basis for the character if it gets developed into a screenplay.:up:

[MWOF]

Your welcome. I always appreciate someone handling with care, a true origin of a character.

[ObakeTora]

Now who should direct and write it? For some reason Heinsleigh comes to mind....

[Peyton Westlake]

He'd be a good choice. I'd steer clear of Goyer only because he has done too much for Marvel, is like he's re-writing his own Marvel universe.

[MWOF]

I was thinking of Tony Scott, he was up for writing and directing Daredevil and lost out to Mark Steven Johnson to me was a big mistake. His proposal on DD included Stick and was more true to the comics. If you see Tony Scott's movies DD would have rocked. Check out Man on Fire with Denzel Washington. I think he would have been perfect on DD and I feel he would be perfect on Moon Knight.

Kevin

[Peyton Westlake]

Never knew Scott lost out to MSJ. Its a shame because of his older brother Ridley, he doesnt get the recognition he deserves. But with some good films in his stable ( Top Gun,True Romance,Crimson Tide, & Man on Fire) I think he should of got the nod over MSJ for DD.

[Jamie Madrox]

Moon Knight having his own movie would be a dream come true for me. MK is one of Marvel's best characters, he's a legend in my eyes, and many others as well.

But, it seems to me that Marvel is more interested in making the more important characters than MK, characters that are more known to the comic world that many say should come first. So I'm not expecting a Moon Knight movie anytime soon... But then again, I have hope that one day soon they will make MK's movie, and make it right.

[ObakeTora]

I soo wanna see Stephen Norrington direct this film! Imagine MoonKnight looking like the Blade 1 film.

From the "SHH Actors Guild Casting Call" thread I started...

Ever think you'd be a better choice for the role of one of the mutants in "X-Men", Peter Parker in "Spider-Man", or multi-millionaire Bruce Wayne in "Batman Begins"? Ever think you should play the starring role in a superhero film in the next few years?

Why not see what everyone else thinks?!

There's two things to do in this thread...

A. Post a picture of yourself and await judgement...

B. Decide what "super" (or villainous) role would best suit those who've submitted photos.





Remember, this is just for fun.



Here's my pic, to start us off...


Moonknight

lol

[Cadetak4712]

I'm not at all familiar with the character but I here he's a bit like Batman...which may seem like a ripoff to the general audience(or is he more like DD?).

I think it's important that a character should be somewhat recognizable by the general public...frankly nobody knows who Moonknight is.

I think Hollywood will over saturate the market with super hero movie and everybody will get fed up with them.

[Noir]

it would work as long as people didn't think he was the KKK Batman.

[MaskedManJRK]

it would work as long as people didn't think he was the KKK Batman.

...Who the f**k would think that? :huh:

1. With the exception of all white, he doesn't look at all like a KKK member.
2. He's neither a racist or a bigot.
3. Even if he was, he wouldn't be able to join, because he was born Jewish.

[Hypestyle]

i'm hoping that the current Moon Knight writer charlie huston can get involved.. at the very least, they could also get Doug Moench to be involved..

[kaijunexus]

I have to say, I'm extremely disappointed with this Moon Knight television series proposal. I'm sure it will fail miserably, just like Blade: the series (ugh). Chalk it up to personal taste, but I hold a special preference for film over television.

Sure, shows like "Heroes" need to be told through a medium such a television, but when you're talking about adapting an established comic book icon...why resort to the lesser art of television?

Moon Knight needs a film franchise, not a partial season of poor ratings.

[Noir]

....Were going to cover this in the Trailer? General Public who know nothing about him will think KKK.

I just have to laugh when someone says that MK could be mistaken by a KKK bats, I mean just because he dresses in white? I think the audience gets underestimated, and MK doesn't nescessarily have to be (or will be) all white. He could end up having a light grey/silverish suit and then the cloak/cape, hood gloves boots etc. would be white. Anyway the mask will probably be black with white lenses.

Back on topic, hell yea a MK film would be great and hopefully they don't make it into a movie just for the sake of it. If they make it they should do it and value the project as much as they would spiderman. Not because MK is a lesser known character does it mean he should be treated as such. I often see marvel not caring much about lesser known superheroes, I would mention some examples but it would only stir discussion and draw out of the topic, anyways I don't need to people here know which films Iam referring to.

Moon Knight stands out for two three main reasons:

1. Spirituality. Moon Knight draws heavily on Egyptian mythology and religion.
2. Mystery. There's always been a big emphasis on the mysterious, much more so than other superhero comics.
3. Identity. Moon Knight has two secret identities - but it's the same person. Confused? Think how he feels.


Best arguement I've heard to make this film.

Moon Knight would be great. You have to put him into a movie much like DC did with Batman Begins, though. He's part legend, part mystery, part psychological. It would be a great movie if done right. And the whole story portrayal would be to create a man who seemed to be the night in the eyes of his enemies.

Obviously, Moon Knight and Batman have similarities. However, I like both of them. I was a big Moon Knight fan from approx 30 years or so back.

I prefer an animated project of Moon Knight. If a live action version is made, what the heck. Get Rodrigo Santoro for Moon Knight/ Marc Spector.
