  • Because a sci-fi setting worked, so, so well for Jonah Hex ...
  • I'm pretty confident that this will never happen.

    I don't know why I'm so confident -- Hollywood has put out some really misguided projects in the past. Maybe it's just Joel Silver's previous inability to work with DC properties -- Wonder Woman -- combined with Akiva Goldsman's awful track record with them (I don't care if he wrote A Beautiful Mind, he'll always be Batman & Robin to me.)
  • Y'know what? I'll just bet this version was written about when Transformers and G.I. Joe were either in the pipeline or out in theaters, and somebody said, "Yeah, that's the ticket!"
  • Bah! Marvel did it first!

  • I have to say, I've got nothing against outer-space war movies. But for god's sake, calling it Sgt Rock will just alienate much of the potential audience the movie has.
  • Potential audience?

    You mean, all 20,000 people who would go see it based on their love of the old comics?

    It's not like this is Batman, who has millions of people out there that grew up reading or watching him (that are still living) with pre-determined notions on how he should act or look.

    To most people Sgt. Rock is a cipher, and won't even care that there were ever comics about him.

    Check out the Secret Headquarters (my store) website! It's a pretty lame website, but I did it myself, so tough noogies

    Listen to WOXY.com, it's the future of rock-n-roll!

    Exactly. How many movie fans ever knew, or cared, that Men in Black was a comic book first?
  • But then, why bother to reference Sgt. Rock at all?
  • They should have Superman in it, except wearing an all-black suit and he could teleport everywhere instead of flying. Perhaps played by Nicholas Cage?

    That was what I was thinking.

    I am going to have to get that issue of What If? It looks like fun.
