DC Comics storms the film world
Among the projects on front burners:
=- "The Losers," an action-adventure drama starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana and Chris Evans, begins principal photography this week in Puerto Rico.
-- "Jonah Hex," a supernatural Western starring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox and John Malkovich, recently wrapped production in Louisiana.
TO SEE VIDEO INTERVIEW ABOUT JONAH HEX:
-- "The Green Lantern," Warners' next big superhero tentpole, is set to star Ryan Reynolds after a long search.
-- Fox has picked up the TV series "Human Target," starring Mark Valley, for the fall.
Meanwhile, other superhero projects are moving forward at Warners.
The studio is taking pitches on sci-fi hero Adam Strange and the underwater-breathing hero "Aquaman," to be produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Also in the pipeline: "Bizarro Superman" being developed by "Galaxy Quest" team Dean Parisot and Robert Gordon; a sequel to "Constantine," with Goldsman, Lauren Shuler Donner and Erwin Stoff producing; two concurrent Green Arrow projects, an origin story and a prison-set one titled "Super Max"; and "Shazam," which was set up at New Line but has moved to Warners, with Pete Segal attached to direct. One animated straight-to-DVD title is "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" in production for a Sept. 29 release.
Finally, comic book writer Geoff Johns worked up a new treatment for a "Flash" script, being written by Dan Mazeau; Johns will act in a producer capacity on the project, which has not attached a director. SOURCE: SuperheroHype.com
