Yea i know how you feel there, i am waiting for the day for me to log on and check all the daily movie news sites i go to daily and see X Y Z cast in green lantern. Heck i would even be happy if we kep hearing rumors of potentials like the on going lasso of names poping up for black cat for spider-man 4 in past two weeks, we have gone from rachael mcadam(she debunked rumor), some roman actress(said she likely wont get the part), to yesterday and today of julia stiles and anne hathaway for the role. That would have been nice to have for the leads for gl.
 
yeah, Spider-Man 4 has been on a roll, so far with news and rumors.
 
Rachel McAdams and Anne Hathaway. That's the kind of rumour I want for Carol. Either one would be great. Neither of them fit Black Cat at all.

exactly.

and yeah, I know that comics is the type of medium where each character is influenced from each other or recycled cliches. (You wouldn't have Iron Man if you didn't have Batman/ the 'radio active accident/Death of a parental figure' orgins) It's just the nature of the beast.

But yeah, Black Cat is too blatant of a rip off of Catwoman. Not to say that it's a bad thing since Deadpool started out as a blatant ripoff of Deathstroke before becoming something of a unique character on his own.

But I don't think anyone can touch the 'ripoffness' when you compare Marvel's Nova to Green Lantern. It's too much there.
 
Nova is his own character though too. He's probably the biggest hero in the MU. I remember he came to Earth during Civil War and Tony Stark tried to get him to register. Nova was like "I've got more important things to do" and Stark was like "What could be more important than this?!?!" Nova simply replied "Oh I dunno, saving the entire universe?" Trust, Nova is bad ass.

And their powers are completely different. It's just that they are both part of a space corps.

If anyone is a real rip off of GL, it's Quasar. He is the one with the construct powers.
 
If Green Lantern turns out to be a huge success or even just mildly successful, I could see Disney/Marvel putting a Nova film into development if somebody pitched it. It doesn't mean that it would eventually go forward, but I believe they would consider some kind of alternative to Green Lantern not unlike what they did with the Punisher and Daredevil as a counter to Batman. On their last try, Iron Man truned out to be a hit.
 
I'd love an Annihilation movie. It'd be like Marvels LOTR but in space.

But I don't think it will ever happen.
 
I'm disappointed, I saw that there was activity here in the GREEN LANTERN casting thread and all there's been are posts about Spider-Man/Marvel projects.

Hopefully we'll start getting some news soon.

P.S. I'd love to see McAdams as Carol Ferris.
 
i did some research on Quisno..err...Quasar. Pttf. Cheeseball McG is more like it!
 
We should know soon enough whats up with green lantern since we know its due to be happening in and around the same time as sm 4 and we really havent heard much news on that film either besides various rumors months ago and then the black cat stuff of the past two weeks. Sure black cat is practicely a rip off of catwoman but if marvel/sony can do her well like as good as selina kyle was in batman returns compared to the halley berry catwoman i dont think we have anything to worry about her being in sm4. If she actually ends up being in sm4 in the first place.

It could if somebody has the inspiration to write a treatment and can pitch it right. I think you could use the same rationale that was used for Green Lantern (sell it like another Star Wars or Star Trek and market it to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy crowd as well as comic book fans) and it's got a good chance of getting into development (at least). I don't think that you would need to do as much to produce the SfX for a Nova film as you would for a Green Lanter flic. Note: I am an avid Nova fan, but I deliberately did not say anyting about starting up a Nova film because I wanted to see a Green Lantern film happen first. As it turns out I am a bigger Green Lantern fan.
 
Nova's cool. He's one of the few Marvel properties that I like. The others being X-Men, Iron Man and Punisher. Other than them Marvel doesn't interest me.

That may change after the Thor movie, depending on how it turns out.

Speaking of ripoffs:

Darkseid/Thanos

Batman/Moon Knight

I heard a story once that initially Thanos started out as a ripoff of Darkseid. To counter that, DC created Mongol.

So in theory, Mongol is based on Thanos, who in turn was based on DC's very own Darkseid
