Del Toro really needs to stop saying he's going to do movies and actually DO them. Where's Frankensten? Where's Halo? Where' the Haunted Mansion? Where's Hellboy 3? I've really lost a lot of respect for him because of all of the announcements that go nowhere.

He does always keep alot on his plate. But i feel like its a studio thing, seems like he has stories to tell but the studios dont greenlight his stuff, I mean correct me im wrong but has he made a megasuccessful film? from a box office standpoint. Who knows, mabey If Pacific Rim hits theyll greenlight this. I love Del Torro , hes super talented.

Ill tell ya one thing know, His Movie has alot better chance of being made before Justice League.

He didn't even finish Hobbit.

Where's Frankensten?

Still in development. It's the studio that's dragging feet and balking.

Where's Halo?

Microsoft and Peter Jackson killed that, not Del Toro.

Where' the Haunted Mansion?

Still in development. Waiting on greenlight from Disney, who appears to be in no hurry since they're all about Marvel, Johnny Depp, cheaper theme park spin offs, and now Star Wars, etc.

Where's Hellboy 3?

He never promised a Hellboy 3. In fact, he's poo-poo'd the idea several times (because he knows the budget would be maybe 1/2 of what the last one was). But he hasn't closed the door on the possibility entirely, either.

As you can probably gleam from the above, a lot of this is not on him, but various studios, development firms and financiers. As popular as he is in the geek world, GDT isn't like other filmmakers who can basically get carte blanche to make anything he wants. He pursues these projects only to get push back time and time again on budgets, creative differences, etc. You can't blame him for canning say, "In The Mountains of Madness" when the studio refused to give him a budget even as big as some Adam Sandler movies(!!!).

That said, if "Pacific Rim" is even half as big a hit as it has the potential to be, you will see all of this change with a quickness and GDT will finally be given the keys to the kingdom and actually given the proper resources to get a lot of these projects off the ground. Legendary is basically the only studio to ever put pure faith in him with a budget this big.

I thought it had more to do with Ron Pearlmans reluctance to come back?

I want to see Del Toro make "At the Mountains of Madness" but Tom Cruise keeps trying to butt his way into starring.

Legendary is "assuming the position" right now. Jack the Giant Slayer is tanking hard at the box office. As in a projected $150m dollar loss.

Expect Legendary to be a bit gun-shy about fringe projects for a while.

Unless 42, Man of Steel and Pacific Rim all Hit.

I believe the 300 sequel as well.

I wanna see that made as well. Great story.

 

[ZaCHw117]

I wanna see that as well. Great story.

 

[The Amazing Spider-Man]

The only Justice League members who can carry their own films right off the bat have been done already (Batman, Superman & Green Lantern) so WB just needs to focus on getting a team film done and not bother starting from scratch and taking years building it up when it doesn't need that.

Wonder Woman should do better than Green Lantern in every way. Great Back story to tell and the potential for great fight scenes is very likely due to her abilities. I wanna see her stomp a mud hole in peoples asses.

 

[Sachiel]

Yeah. The first Lovecraft story I read. Not long after came the news that del Toro wanted to make the film. I'm still waiting.

 

[batfan08]

I actually had a story idea for a Justice League series involving Jon Hamm as Batman.

Part I:
The film opens with Batman. He's chasing down a criminal in Gotham. Riddler, perhaps? Anyway, he catches him and dispatches him rather quickly and then proceeds to grapple to the nearest rooftop. It is here that we see that our Caped Crusader isn't what he used to be. He can still kick *** with the best of them, but what his spirit tells him he can do is getting battered down by age and the limitations of his body. We see more of this later on when he has trouble dealing with some sort of "Justice League" level threat. It is out of both necessity and paranoia that Batman forms the Justice League.

Bruce Wayne is almost 43 years old, and, suddenly, he's bearing witness to beings who could level entire cities just by sneezing. In some ways, Batman is the villain of this film. He's lurking in the shadows, finding out everything he can about those around him; all of their strengths, their weaknesses, their personal lives, etc. you could have some sort of threat unifying the team, but, nevertheless, the film ends with Batman drafting contingency plans in the even that any one of them would go rogue.

Part II:
This is the Justice League movie that we've all been waiting for. I know that some people weren't too fond of the time jump in TDKR, but this could work for Justice League; this is the team that we've read about for years; a team with strength, and synergy, and they're in their prime.

Maybe, you could fill in the gaps through the opening credits. Various news reports, paper clippings, magazine covers, etc. showcasing all of the good work they've done over the past few years. The film would have their limits being tested by a threat greater than any they've ever faced before, but, by film's end, they're stronger than they've ever been.

Part 3: This is the deconstruction of everything. In an after credits scene in the second film, Batman's private files are being hacked. One by one, members of the Justice League are being incapacitated by an unknown threat, and the person responsible is doing so using Batman's own plans, not unlike the classic "Tower of Babel" story.

The film, and possibly the trilogy, ends with Batman leaving, as he thinks that no one can trust him again.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I think it'd be great if it was done like Watchmen. Have an opening montage that shows them solo but meeting each other becoming comrades. Then the first third of the film showcasing each character individually but establishing that they haven't needed to work together in a while but remain friends. Then perhaps a Green Lantern lands on earth dying and relates that a powerful force is coming to destroy the earth. The team come together once again and protect the planet.

This way there'll be no bickering and arguing between people who are supposed to fit together.

 

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

I like your idea Batfan, thanks for sharing it with us, i love the idea of batman old and being almost the odd man out, very well written.

The only thing is i feel like Warners needs to do a straight up Justice League movie first, just the team coming together, mabey not an origin story but a straight foward JLA movie before they tackle somthing very dramatic and different like you proposed.
When i think of the possibilities of a JLA movie i think of all the comics, storylines and other things i have scene them in, and its endless. Why not tackle it as a trilogy? What made them have faith to do 3 LOTR movies and go foward, i feel like its gonna come down to who can helm such a massive project, i feel like few people have the gonads, time will tell.

soo... a mix of Dark knight returns and Justice league Doom?

neet Idea.... but I tire personaly of batman being the big central character of EVERYTHING.

I'd like to see someone else get the spotlight.

Iron man is the Key to everything in Marvel Movie Universe right now. partly becuase the movies are just that good, partly becuase the casting was perfect, partly becuase the story of a flawed character and redemption just work.

Something people tend to forget about Marvel movieverse WOnderboy, Iron Man.
Before the fims, he was a "B tier" Hero. He was mostly forgetable. YES had had a fanbase, but he was not a really big deal. Not the level of superstardom he is right now.

I Think that's the approach DC needs to take as well.

you see, Everyone knows batman. WE don't need an establishment film. we don't need a backstory. why? People know it already. Same thing with superman, and to a Lesser extent wonderwoman. Just have them THERE, being themselves, Larger than Life.

So who is our starter then? DO what Marvel did, Take a Quasi-popular Hero, who is not as popular, and start with them. DO Aquaman. DO Flash. DO green Latern ( Again, or keep going where the first one ended, and do a hulk-esque soft reboot) And catapult an existing character to superstar status.

just my opinion.

Iron man is the Key to everything in Marvel Movie Universe right now.

Iron Man is equal to Thor and Cap in that they've all had only one good movie.

 

[lerath666]

Now, Yes. But I'm talking about how it all started. Where everything began, BEFORE the first Iron man movie came out.
Cap and Thor were good films BECUASE they followed in the footsteps that the first Iron Man film laid for them, and created a structure for the rest to rally around.

Hence, Iron Man is the Key to EVERYTING in the Marvel Stuidos Movie Universe.



Personaly, I'd LOVE for DC to start with Arthur.
