That's what I wanna know.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

are they making a Cap movie?

 

[Dangerous]

I read an Empire superhero special (UK mag) and it had Cap as their No#2 most wanted Superhero film.
Avi was talking about it as was Kevin Feige (sp?) some Marvel producer guy.
According to the mag the scriptwriter to Road to Perdition is writing, and Speilberg is top of the wanted director's list.
Release date- 2009.

Back in 1998 Marvel ran an add in all their comics, that was Spidey's gloved hand holding a copy of the Bugle that announced Marvel would be turning basically ALL of its IP into films over the next decade.

They said they'll get around to it like in '09 but until there is a script and a director it will not happen.

Yeah. It was Feige. He said that Captain America would probably be the best story told. And in another interview, he mentioned that the film would be exciting and fans would actually be pleased.

You know what I would want- that the first Cap Film be entirely WWII.
They could try and make a really great realistic WWII film w/ Cap, that is after all where he gets his legendary status from so why not try and make a great film out of his golden era instead of just trivialising it and having at all finished and him frozen after an hour into the film.
The WWII era of his life deserves to be treated w/ proper respect in a film.

I also believe you can’t do his resurrection right unless you have the Avengers discover him.
Marvel need to not be ****** w/ this and just make the Avengers part of the CA film, without thinking they could only introduce Avengers in their own film first. Fact is Cap and Avengers are linked together and you cannot tell one of their story’s properly without involving the other party.

Anyway we should make this the Cap film thread until the boards arrive.

 

[Drakon]

If they did that, then they'd lose a LOT of audience when it comes sequel time. due to the drastic changes. Even if they freeze him at the very end, most people won't appreciate that ending and won't bother coming back for Cap 2.

My thoughts from another thread.

Yeah. There's a Captain America movie in active development through the new Marvel Films production banner. Currently, the script is being written by David Self.

I think the entire film should be in WWII, at least for the first movie. While the last attempt at a Cap movie was a DEFINITE horror, one of the biggest things that bothered me was that Captain America existed for something like 14 seconds before being captured by Red Skull and being shunted off to the future.

Captain America is an icon, a symbol of this country who went into the trenches, fought EVIL on a daily basis, and served as a rallying point for the regular Joes. Removing this element and just having someone that no one ever heard of pop out in the future steals the relevance of this icon. Cap needs to be developed, and his purpose and stature need to be established. That we ought to SEE develop. Steve Rogers CARED about America and desperately wanted to fight the Nazi's any way possible; and that idea must be demonstrated.

Exactly. That's why the WWII story needs to be seen in it's entirity. To get the concept of 'Man out of Time" you have to understand what time that is. To understand just what Steve Rogers went through during the war. That's my point. To understand who he is, and the type of man, out of his time or not, he REALLY is. And who he is was HEAVILY defined during WWII. Which makes it absolutely necessary to relegate an entire film to that time period. That way when we DO see him out of his time, we've been through enough with the character to understand just what he is going through.
