Love that there fast tracking Iron man 2. Like that there finnaly making Captain America, I say Matt Damon. Not sure about Thor movie, and I cant picture an Avengers movie. Anchorman 2 would be cool. Hate that there making a D.Darko sequal, and maybe we will finnaly get a good video game flick that finnaly has a talanted director.

Hooray, a MacGyver movie!!!! Someone call Patty and Selma, because

this movie is going to be terrific....unless richard dean anderson isn't it:(

and if he isn't then, well that would be sacrilage!!! It must be Anderson or

else!!! I mean C'mon its MacGyver not jmes bond, Anderson still is wise and

cool (right?) enough to paly the hero. its not like he has to be this all

powerful ninja warrior or somethin.

How can Donnie Darko 2 work without Richard Kelly or Jake Gyllenhall? The original had Kelly's incredible directing and script, and Jake IS DONNIE DARKO? Direct to DVD sounds right. I'd prefer not made at all.

Greg Dean Schmitz, love the respect for the South park knowledge

and y'know Matt and Trey's greatness when they can make Buck rodgers cool

again(in the "Go God Go" episodes ). Now the question is will Miller include

the science otters ;)

MacGyver: The Movie? Hahaha! I could see it as nothing else than a comedy, in the same vein as the forthcoming Get Smart.

Stoked for Fruitcake for no other reason than the wonderfully divine Parker Posey. I worship that woman.

As for the Thor movie. Snore. Sounds just dreadful. I'll be skipping that one for sure. Where arethe female superhero movies? We've only had Elektra and she isnt exactly a hero. And it wasn't exactly good. I'm skipping over Catwoman for obvious reasons.

And lastly, my plea to Paramount, go with your first instinct. Keep Tom Cruise fired. That nut job needs to be blasted into space on a rocket with the rest of the Scientologists. Find an actor who people still like. Another Mission:Impossible starring Cruise is destined to fail.

1,2: Comic book film will be > video game film. It always has been.
3: Would like to see this happen, but I won't get my hopes up.
4: Guess UA's attempt to buy the MI rights from Paramount fell through.
5,6: Good concepts, but they'll be bombs.
7,8,9: Unoriginal ideas AND bombs.
10: Three words - straight to video.

Studios should save remakes/adaptations for Direct-to-DVD, and invest the money wisely on new concepts or sequels.

Didn't care for the first Donnie Darkmeat.

That said, I'm drooling in anticipation for a Diff'rent Strokes movie...not!

I'm hopeing DC does a Birds of Prey movie. That's got potential even though they don't have the name recognition of a Wonder Woman.

DONNIE DARKO 2 pisses me off more then anything because it's obvious that whom ever is producing this film totally did not get the first one. First Donnie was not having visions if you think that he was then you're an idiot. Donnie's "visions" where in fact just his brain trying to cope with an never ending time paradox that of which Donnie himself was starting to become aware of. It's simple I don't see how anyone could misunderstand it? Donnie Darko is a brilliant piece of science fiction please don't ruin it.

i dont understand why there making a Donnie Darko Dos, stupid.....Iron Man 2 sounds great, now that Marval is doing there own thing, all the movies that come out of there are gonna be sick. As for Captin America, thank god there finally doing it, should have been the first movie they made, and as for the cap, i dont understand why no one can see that Daniel Craig is the perfect the perfect Steve Rogers. His performance in Munich was amazing, he was steve rogers, who cares if he isnt American, no one is.

For the love of all that is good, do not click on the Chihuahua trailer.

I just puked on my face. I think it is such a disgrace, that I puked on my face.

No one is an American? WELL GUESS WHAT? I AM! And you know what else? I just puked on my face!

..but did tomwaits puke on his face, though?

Hate to sound negative (again/still) but most of these ideas sound REALLY bad and 'yes,' I agree, the Darko sequel smacks as the latest sign of the appocalypse. Reserve a place for it at your local gas station next to the Jim Carrey-less Jim Carrey sequels.

And open letter to Will Ferrell: Dude, you had a great run, and I seriously respect you spinning literally hundreds of millions of dollars out of EXACTLY the same premise over and over. That takes honest-to-god skill at marketing and some decent comedic chops.
HOWEVER, the moment is ending (see, generally, 'Semi-Pro'). PLEASE don't f#ck around with one of your only true classics ('Anchorman' being 1, 'Old School' being the other).

Finally, I agree with y'all about Richard Dean Anderson *MAKING* MacGuyver, but he's a little.. how you say? Ah yes.... OLD for this sh#t.

MacGuyver can just make a time machine for Richard Dean Anderson. . .

HOW IS THAT FOR A SPACE-TIME PARADOX?!?!?!?!?

. . . MadWorld is one of my all time favorite movie songs. . . better than 3-whatever mafia and Oscars catering to horrible street cred songs.

"When Eric Parkman got himself frozen"

Parkman? It's Cartman, actually. Unless I'm missing a play on a character name from the sci fi show, which I'll admit I've never seen D:

To Jokerboy, no, i hate Matt Damon and everything his ugly fat face does. Don't make such bad suggestions that could ruin Captain America. Why do people insist on furthering the stereotype that Matt Damon is'nt annoying to watch act.

Beacause Damon can do kick *** action flicks, while he can also do quality flciks. Have u ever seen The Bourne movies, good will hunting, the departed, Dogma, Rounders, Syriana, Rainmaker, Saving private ryan, or the legend of bagger vance? also u are an idiot, most people like matt damon.

Donnie Darko 2? Ummmm...all I can say is wow...

But I AM feeling that Iron Man 2 sequel...YAY!

A MacGyver movie? Prolly will be as bad as Mark Hamill in "Guyver," no semi-pun intended. Seriously, don't even try!

let's see...based on a video game, based on a video game, tv show, tv show, movie about a chiuahua, needless remake of classic horror film. seems like every time we think Hollywood has scraped the bottom of the barrell they find a new barrell.

"Maybe I missed it, but wasn't there supposed to be a Nick Fury cameo in Iron Man? "

Yep, you missed it, if you left the theater before the movie was over. The Nick Fury scene is after the credits.

Wow...sucks to be you...Thor could be fantastic.

And Cruise is still popular..like it or not.

The guy's meltdown on Oprah was still 1000 times more sane than Oprah herself...or the majority of her guests. Scientologists are certainly nut jobs...but no more so than some other religions out there.

I feel compelled to add a couple of seconds...

I second the suggestion that Daniel Craig would make a magnificent Steve Rogers, and...

I second the belief that a Thor movie - if done right (which is no small feat) - "could be fantastic."

and last but not least, I second (or should I say third? fourth? tenth? infinite?) the belief that any Donnie Darko sequel - especially the lame-*** kid sister one being proposed - is just about as bad an idea as one could come up with. I hope that that the investers lose all their dough on that craptacular project.

matt damon is a good actor, Dogma is the ****, Bourne movies are awesome and the Departed is one of the best movies of are time, but he isnt Captin America material, no where near it. I will say it again Daniel Craig needs to put the blue suit on and chuck his sheild at some ****ing Nazi's.

Daniel Craig is too old. They should pick a young unknown actor like they did with Superman. Only write a decent frickin' script.

Damnit. I had a feeling they were going to do that stupid $hit again. This is not a trend I'm digging at all. It was dumb in X:3, it was dumb in Transformers, it was dumb in Rise of the Silver Surfer, it's just plain dumb. Now they stoop to this same level in Iron Man. I hope Nolan doesn't do that 'after the credits' crap in The Dark Knight.
