Not a patch on SuBo.

That looks fun enough, if not the visual sledgehammer to the head that the Greengrass movies were.

[Nicholas Taggart]

That trailer really wanted people to think Matt Damon will appear in this movie.

They mention his hand healing fast and messing around with genomes, so is Renner's character some kind of super soldier then?.

I dont remember that being a thing in the last three movies.

It wasn't.

I think it looks like a real mistake. All of it. From soup to nuts.

What a crying shame.

That trailer makes me want to rewatch the original trilogy more than it makes me interested in this new film. I'm not sure that was the intention.

Nicolas Winding Refn In DreamWorks Talks For ‘Button Man: The Killing Game’

Drive helmer Nicolas Winding Refn is in talks with DreamWorks to direct Button Man, an adaptation of the graphic novel Button Man: The Killing Game by John Wagner and Arthur Ranson. Wagner created Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog. The action revolves around Harry Exton, a hired gun who’s offered a fortune to take part in a game organized by bored millionaires that sets trained killers against one another in a fight to the death. The fat cats bet on the proceedings, and when Exton gets disgusted and opts out, his only exit strategy might be to off the millionaires funding the competition. The film is produced by Roger Kass, Josh Braun and Michael De Luca.

...

Really hope this happens.

I can't access millarworld on my computer right now for some reason but someone needs to post the trailer for Brand. Johnny posted the russian version a while ago but the english version is out now and its brilliantly bizarre, advertisement as killer monsters!

If Dredd is a success and Button Man goes ahead this might open the door for more 2000ad movies.

Nikolia Dante: The Movie anyone?

[Steve Sensible]

What's Button Man about? Is Rogue Trooper still going? Used to like that back in my 2000AD days.

[stephanie familiar]

really want to see this.

Button Man is about posh people paying/blackmailing assasins to play death games in the countryside. Like Hunger Games / Battle Royale but with special forces and hardened gangsters instead of kids. The comic is very good and wonderfully drawn, recommended.

Strictly speaking it isn't a 2000ad property, it was printed there first but was created by Wagner and Ranson for Toxic until that went under, so it's one of a handful of 2000ad stories that are creator owned.

I just read this book (it was pretty great). I have hopes for the movie as I like Taylor Kitsch a lot and Oliver Stone is almost always interesting.

It just looks like another action film? Yeah I know, Oliver Stone but... that's it?

Los Angeles (May 31, 2012) __ Twentieth Century Fox announced today some major additions to its 2013-14 release slate, along with some date changes.

On the heels of the $344 million worldwide success of TITANIC 3D, the studio and director Roland Emmerich, in conjunction with Stereo 3D, which did the work on TITANIC, will produce a top quality 3D version of the iconic INDEPENDENCE DAY. ID43D will be released worldwide on July 3, 2013.

The studio also staked its 2014 summer with three giant tentpoles. First up, Fox, together with Disney and Dreamworks, has shifted the release of Steven Spielberg’s epic ROBOPOCALYPSE to go worldwide on April 25, 2014, the same weekend that “Avengers” was released internationally this year. Disney distributes domestically. (ID43D now occupies its former release date.)

Then on Memorial Day (May 23, 2014), Fox unleashes DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES worldwide, the sequel to the $483 million grossing RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES. Rupert Wyatt, who helmed the 2011 smash, returns to direct. The returning producers are Peter Chernin, Dylan Clark, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.

And on July 18, 2014, Fox releases worldwide the third of its summer tentpoles, the currently untitled X-MEN, to be directed by Matthew Vaughn.

Fox also announced its Christmas 2013 line-up, with THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, starring Ben Stiller and Kristin Wiig, and directed by Ben Stiller, set for Christmas Day. Samuel Goldwyn, John Goldwyn, Stuart Cornfeld and Ben Stiller produce the film.

Also for Christmas, the studio will shift WALKING WITH DINOSAURS from October 11 to December 20, 2013. The film is based on the massively successful TV series and live show, which has grossed more than $250 million in box office worldwide.

Other 2013 dates include the following: PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS, based on Rick Riordan’s publishing phenomenon, goes out August 16, 2013, moving from March 15. And Fox earlier announced that Beyoncé Knowles would headline the voice cast of EPIC, in theaters May 24, 2013, from the makers of “Ice Age” and “Rio.” The film was previously known as “Leafmen.” Also joining the cast are Josh Hutcherson, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Knoxville, Aziz Ansari, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler, Blake Anderson and Judah Friedlander.

Lastly, an as-yet-untitled comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, directed by Paul Feig (BRIDESMAIDS) will land in theaters April 5, 2013.

I'm even more interested in this now that I know what the actual plot is.

Time to repolish that Zenith script.

I'm just going to have to win the Euro Millions jackpot tonight so I can make Halo Jones the way it should be done.
