Moriarty of AICN debunks the Plastic Man rumor.

The PLASTIC MAN rumors that got started a few weeks ago are stranger, but no less credible. I remember getting the same e-mail that Devin Faraci at CHUD must have gotten, an e-mail saying that Joel Silver had just appeared on a German radio show and laid out all the details for the new Wachowski Bros. film, PLASTIC MAN.

Uhhhh... no.

I didn’t run it because I didn’t believe it. But Devin ran it a day or two later, and so I decided to dig a little. I asked around at Warner and at Silver Pictures, and they confirmed what seemed evident to me from the initial story.

Joel Silver didn’t do the German radio show. He didn’t give that interview. He didn’t spill the details on PLASTIC MAN because... wait for it... nothing’s happening with PLASTIC MAN.

Yes, there’s that old Wachowskis draft still bopping around the internet. I’m sure you can read it if you really want to. But the Wachowskis haven’t decided what to do next. They haven’t cast Keanu Reeves in the lead role, and they certainly haven’t told Joel Silver to tell the press, “After SPEED RACER, we’ve decided to only work with Keanu for the rest of our lives.”

I mean, really. Does that even sound like the way that sort of information would be released? These days, studio announcements are carefully orchestrated, timed for global impact. Stills, posters, major casting announcements... these are things that people calculate carefully. Joel Silver’s not going to go on some morning show in Germany and just say, “Oh, yeah, by the way...”

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

This is the poster to the last film I listed. It almost looks like Plastic Man.

This article over at Aint is Cool news has a blogger claiming that Plastic Man is the next project for the Wachoski brothers and James McTiegue has signed on to provide second unit support.

 

[Webhead2006]

Thats been talked about over in the superman threads on the wachoski brothers and the whole rumor of them having been offered superman which has been confirmed to been false. As for plastic man who knows could happen with all the problems with wb getting any dc guys off the ground.

I heard someoone else is taking over this movie I just don't remember who.

In the tradition of "Ren and Stimpy" and "Freakazoid" I give you:

An Unaired Pilot of a New Plastic Man Cartoon

I'm telling ya, Jim Carrey would be perfect for this role in a live action film.

 

[tyler-durden]

That pilot kind of was made a while ago, I don't think it got the green light. But it's very Ren & Stimpyish.

 

[Kevin Smith]

No.
There is only one man who was born to play Plas

Accept it

I little old, maybe but....



GENIUS!!

WOW! That is awesome! I had no idea! Thanks so much for sharing.

I think Plastic Man would be perfect for a Hancock-styled movie, with action, comedy and Drama. PM is a really good character and i hope that, when they do his movie, they portray him properly, showing not only his comedy side, but also his depth (His criminal past, his accident, his change of heart and etc.).

Exactly.

would be cool to see live action plastic man but it will probably be awhile before we see it happen.

Universal wants to make a movie of this guy:



With a 2011 release date, they will easily beat any Plastic Man project should they decide to start one up. Too slow, WB.

[Webhead2006]

yea to bad nothing is really moving with dc films with wb but we all know their reasons.

Tom Cavanaugh for Plastic Man

 

[Shaolin Kenobi]

Carey might be a little old... but I think somebody with those mannerisms would be great to play O'Brian.

 

[batdude]

I kind of want to see Adam Sandler as Plas.
