Some random (and some pretty major) news from Comicon:
-A Silver Surfer spin-off movie hasn't been completely cancelled. Producers are waiting to see how Wolverine does (as if there's really a comparison) before they decide to go ahead with it or not.
-Zac Snyder and his Watchmen cast brought a new extended and more graphic trailer for the film. Hopefully it'll be online sometime soon.
-John Barrowman, of Torchwood fame, has hinted that he's in talks to possibly star in Marvel's Captain America picture. I haven't seen Torchwood so I can't speak to his acting ability, but holy crap, the guy looks the part. If he's at all a decent actor, I can get behind this.
-Chris Evans says that there are no current plans for a third Fantastic Four film, and his option is running out.
-Clips were shown of the new ultra-violent Punisher film. Word is that the violence is very intense and the film is given a gritty 70's, almost grindhouse feel. Director Lexi Alexander didn't make it to the con due to being on her honeymoon, but there are rumors circulated that both she and the composer have been fired from the project altogether. Meanwhile, star Ray Stevenson says he had so much fun filming that he'll come back for Punisher films as long as the studios and fans will let him.
-Frank Miller and his Spirit cast brought three clips to the con to try to convince people that the movie is not Sin City 2. Word is, it wasn't very convincing.
-Speaking of Frank Miller, he has apparently given 300 and Watchmen's Zac Snyder permission to direct a film version of The Dark Knight Returns!
Additionally, I don't think this was at Comicon but it was a recent announcement and it does have a six degrees of separation kinda thing with Miller. MGM has officially greenlit a fourth Robocop film - not a reboot as many have speculated, but a direct sequel, though it may take place in a slightly different time. Even more exciting is that they've hired on a writer, David Self (Road to Perdition) and a director, freakin' Darren Aronofsky!
