Should we be worried about another Madonna movie?

Ed Burns' movie sounds jammed with originality... not.

You just busted the "not" tag out. But I do agree with you.

I wonder if Guy Ritchie has become a good director in his absence?

I'm really curious as to how this will turn out, I like Burns and this is unlike anything he's ever directed. Plus it sounds pretty good, I usualy like gangster films.

Comic book movies are big.

Directors/Actors want their pet projects to be made.

Directors/Actors decide to make poorly made/recieved comic book.

Producers see it's a comic book, think big money, decide to produce movie.

I'm not saying it isn't a briliant way to get around the stupidity that is a producer's mindset in making a movie, it just doesn't mean that these will be good movies. Neither does it mean that fanboys are actually going to care, nor turn out in droves to support these movies. I mean, dang, I like Ed Burns but that sounds like a rip-off of a rip-off.

Is anyone actually buying these 'celebrity' comic books?!!

I've never heard of any of these celebrity comic books. I like Guy Ritchie though. Snatch is awesome.
