| I'd be lying if I said I was shocked at how Speed Racer's been doing. I mean, with all the buzz Iron Man was getting, I figured the number of people going to see it would be dramatically less, but I'm surprised it did so poorly.
Even that Ashton Kutcher/Cameron Diaz movie, What Happens in Vegas, did better than it at the "per screen" rate. Sure it got $200,000 more for the weekend take, but it was playing on many more screens. Anyway, since the Wachowkis seem to concentrate on emulating anime (Matrix was very strongly influenced by Ghost in the Shell) and adapting it as well as comics for the screen, let's all speculate what the Wachowski brother/sister team are going to try and adapt now. They're producing Ninja Assassin, but I'm talking direction (or at least writing the screenplay). I could see them trying to pick up the X-Men franchise, and improving on Bryan Singer's work while also acting as though X3 wasn't made. However, it's really not like them to pick up where someone left off, on top of which X-Men is much more mainstream than what they usually choose to cover or emulate. Since they chose to do V for Vendetta I'd say they might actually try their hand at Maus (Art Spiegelman's story of his father going through the Holocaust, but with mice in the place of Jews, and cats as Nazis). They'd play it like a dark Stuart Little. No? Hmmm, how about going into Dark Horse's manga arena (that also have "classic" Japanese films attached)--Lone Wolf and Cub, Lady Snowblood, Blade of the Immortal,or possibly (dare I say it?) Trigun? Oh jeez, now I could see them pulling a Trigun movie out of their asses and actually making it look good. Frankly I'm surprised no one's made a live action Cowboy Bebop at that. Anyway, what do you think the Andy and Larry might try to make a move toward nowadays? |

| All right, so my guesses were just a little off.
Rumor has it they may just be on their way to adapting Plastic Man for the big screen, with Keanu Reeves in the title role, Plastic Man/Eel O'Brien. News of that: http://chud.com/articles/articles/15582/1/WILL-KEANU-REEVES-BE-STRETCHING-HIMSELF-FOR-THE-WACHOWSKI-BROS/Page1.html I've only really read the Kyle Baker books he did on Plastic Man, and seen him appear in various stories by Frank Miller and others who included him in Justice League stories, so I really don't have a tenuous hold on this one. Chances are it'll be like the cartoon: |
