Who Is The Most Successful Superhero Actor?
9 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Brett White
With Robert Downey Jr.'s contract renegotiations off to a start (not to mention every other Avenger as well... yikes!), a lot of talk is being made of just how integral Downey is to the Marvel franchise. To be honest, you're not going to get any argument about that here. Downey's commitment to the role, natural charisma, and superb acting chops all coalesced in 2008 to form the biggest surprise hero hit ever. Thanks to "Iron Man," the armored Avenger rocketed from Marvel's B-list all the way to the top. The guy is irreplaceable.
But is he the most successful superhero actor ever? To find out, I spent a lot of time on Box Office Mojo pulling data and making spreadsheets. I compiled a list of the top 10 most successful superhero actors, based on box office totals. There were a few requirements though:

Ms. Marvel and Blade in Development at Marvel
8 May 2013 10:22 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
In addition to their growing Marvel Phase Three slate, which includes director Edgar Wright's Ant-Man, the studio is also developing feature projects for Ms. Marvel and a Blade reboot. Marvel also has plans for Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Black Panther, and Runaways, but it isn't known if these are being developed for Phase Three or future Phases.
Back in October, we reported that Marvel was eyeing actresses Emily Blunt and Ruth Wilson to play Ms. Marvel in the Phase Two sequel The Avengers 2, but this is the first we're hearing of a stand-alone Ms. Marvel project. Carol Danvers (a.k.a. Ms. Marvel) first appeared in an 1968 issue of Marvel Super-Heroes as a U.S. Air Force member. While the character was not born with super powers, her exposure to a Kree device explosion turned her into a human-Kree hybrid.
Marvel recently re-acquired the Blade rights from New Line Cinema, »

Film Face-off: ‘Iron Man 3′ vs. ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ and ‘Pain & Gain’ vs. ‘Bad Boys’
7 May 2013 8:17 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
I write an article at Movies.com called Film Face-off, where I take two things, and they battle it out. The things could be actors, movies, characters, just about anything. Here is the first one. Give it some love, comments, tweets, Facebook affection.
Film Face-off: ‘Iron Man 3′ vs. ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ – Which Is the Better Part 3?
With Iron Man 3 now in theaters it’s a chance for us to look back at all of the superhero part threes that have come before it. Here’s the list: Superman III, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, Batman Forever, Blade: Trinity, X-Men: The Last Stand, Spider-Man 3 and The Dark Knight Rises. Sure there are some straight-to-dvd sequels, but I don’t think we need to bring up the likes of Darkman III: Die Darkman Die here.
Now this is a list of all of the really good superhero part threes: The Dark Knight Rises. »

R.I.P.D. One-Sheet Will Defend our World One Soul at a Time
7 May 2013 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Our final new poster offering of the day is for Universal's new comic book-based feature 'R.I.P.D.'. Robert Schwentke's long awaited adaptation of Peter Lenkov's Dark Horse comic book is fast approaching and eyeing a 19 July release slot in the Us and a way off 30 August release here in the UK. Still, the new one-sheet just released for the afterlife action flick is way better than the dull teaser art revealed a few months back. This at least has more comic book vibrancy and with some gun slinging from both its leads Ryan Reynolds ('Blade: Trinity') and Jeff Bridges ('Tron: Legacy') thrown in for good measure. Kevin Bacon ('Super'), Stephanie Szostak, Mary-Louise Parker ('Weeds'), Marisa Miller and James Hong ('Big Trouble in Little China') also star. Head below to check out the new 'R.I.P.D.' poster. »

Blade Back at Marvel: Reboot? And With Whom?
3 May 2013 3:50 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
While there are no official plans yet, a betting man could wager that Marvel will eventually be moving forward with rebooting its recently regained franchises. Out of Punisher, Ghost Rider, and Daredevil, none has reached quite the financial success achieved by the Blade series. Wesley Snipes has been out of jail since April and is already back in acting, and reportedly in talks for Expendables 3. I'm sure he'd be good to sign on, but does Marvel need him?
You might say, "Of course. He Is Blade." Exactly my thoughts when I first thought of the question. When people think of a sword wielding vampire hunter, he's the guy that enters everyone's mind...well at least most our minds.
The original movie came out in 1998, and while there were sequels, today's Jon Smith 18 year old (born in 1995) might never have seen the film or be able to tell you much about the Marvel hero. »

18 April 2013 3:46 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Yesterday we saw the unveiling of the poster for the supernatural action comedy R.I.P.D., and now we have our first look at footage from the upcoming comic book adaptation thanks to the arrival of the official theatrical trailer, which has just landed online this evening via Movies-List.
R.I.P.D. is based on the Dark Horse graphic novel of the same name by Peter M. Lenkov and sees comic book movie regular Ryan Reynolds (Blade: Trinity, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Green Lantern) headlining as recently slain cop Nick Walker, who joins a team of undead police officers - the Rest In Peace Department - and links up with gunslinger Roy Pulsipher (Jeff Bridges; Iron Man) in order to track down the main who murdered him and bring him to justice.

How involved is David S Goyer with the Justice League movie?
17 April 2013 11:07 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
News Simon Brew 18 Apr 2013 - 07:06
Talk of David S Goyer directing Justice League seems premature. But might he be on writing duties?
It's little secret that Christopher Nolan won't be involved in Warner Bros' upcoming Justice League movie project. His name has been continually linked to it, but scheduling and lack of interest seem to be the two main reasons he's not going to be involved.
Another name that keeps getting mentioned though, and one that hasn't been ruled out, is David S Goyer. Goyer worked with Nolan on the Dark Knight trilogy of course, and his new TV project, Da Vinci's Demons, has just won a season two order from Starz.
However, just how involved is he going to get with Justice League? Rumours sprang up last night that suggested Goyer was on the directorial shortlist for the film, which would strike us as a bit of a bold choice. »

Wesley Snipes joins The Expendables 3, Mel Gibson to direct?
16 April 2013 5:51 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
We've known since before the release of the second movie that Sylvester Stallone plans to reunite his roster of aging action icons for The Expendables 3, and back in August producer Avi Lerner offered up a wish-list of stars for the third movie, which included Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Nicolas Cage and Wesley Snipes. It was rumoured a few months back that Nicolas Cage had signed on, only for the report to be debunked, but we can now officially tick off the first name from that list, and as you'd expect, it's Wesley Snipes.
"Wesley Snipes joined the crew tonight and that makes me damn happy," said Sly via Twitter (in a tweet which has since been deleted). "Hope Snipes brings his A-Game."
It's certainly been a while since we've seen Snipes' A-Game; his last theatrical release came way back in 2004 with Blade: Trinity, and following a lawsuit against New Line Cinema »

2013 is sharping up to be a huge year for comic book movies; along with superhero efforts Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, The Wolverine, Kick-Ass 2 and Thor: The Dark World, 2013 is set to bring us the likes of 300: Rise of an Empire, Red 2 and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Assault On Wall Street trailer starring Dominic Purcell
5 April 2013 4:36 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »
Watch the trailer for Uwe Boll's Assault on Wall Street, starring Dominic Purcell, Edward Furlong and Eric Roberts. I like Purcell as an actor, with credits for Prison Break, films like Blade: Trinity, Primeval and Straw Dogs, I wish I could say the same for the director's attempts at the helm. We're talking films like Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne, In the Name of the King, Far Cry and more. At least there's no White House involved here. In any case, I wish it luck. In Assault on Wall Street, Jim is an average New Yorker living a peaceful life with a well paying job and a loving family. Suddenly, everything changes when the economy crashes causing Jim to lose his job, home and wife. Filled with anger and rage, Jim snaps and goes to extreme lengths to seek revenge for the life taken from him. The action thriller »

Flickering Myth's Greatest Comic Book Movies: #23 - Blade (1998)
4 April 2013 7:09 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Throughout April, we're counting down to the release of Marvel's Iron Man 3 with our picks for the Greatest Comic Book Movies of All Time; here's #23...
Blade, 1998.
Directed by Stephen Norrington.
Starring Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, Kris Kristofferson, N'Bushe Wright, Donal Logue, Udo Kier, Arly Jover and Traci Lords.
While Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000) is generally credited with kick-starting the current superhero movie boom, it was actually Marvel's Blade who got in there first, with the Daywalker arriving on the screen two years earlier - and just one year after the disastrous Batman & Robin - thanks to director Stephen Norrington, screenwriter David S. Goyer and star Wesley Snipes.
After the success of Blade, Wesley Snipes returned for the sequels Blade II and Blade: Trinity, but turned down the opportunity to headline the subsequent small screen spin-off Blade: The Series due to an ongoing lawsuit with New Line Cinema, with Kirk »

Over the past few weeks, the writing team here at Flickering Myth have been putting together their own individual top tens, which we've used to compile our list. Any film based upon a comic book was eligible for inclusion, providing it had received a theatrical release either in North America or here in the UK.

'The Dark Knight' Trilogy Writer David S. Goyer To Direct Reimagined 'Count Of Monte Cristo'
19 March 2013 11:42 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
“The Count of Monte Cristo” has been made into at least twelve films (including one with Eugene O’Neill’s father in the titular role and most recently that 2002 version with Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce) and has been credited as inspiration for many a soap opera character and television series. Just two years ago, Warner Bros. snapped up a script that was a “futuristic take” on the story but we haven’t heard of any further development yet. With so many adaptations and incarnations, what is left of the 19th century Dumas epic for director David S. Goyer to explore? Well, the word is that he plans to make a “19th century Dark Knight."The upcoming “The Count of Monte Cristo” is based on a Michael Robert Johnson (co-writer on Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes”) script and will be directed by Goyer (“Blade: Trinity”) and produced by Jeremy Bolt »

David Goyer To Helm Modern Adaptation Of ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’
19 March 2013 5:33 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Fan favourite comic-book scribe David Goyer is set write and direct a contemporary re-imagining of Alexandre Dumas’ classic tale, The Count Of Monte Cristo. Goyer’s the man responsible for the screenplays and story credits on the likes of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, Man Of Steel and Blade. However, his directorial output has been less than stellar with the dismal Blade: Trinity, The Invisible and The Unborn, included.
The Count Of Monte Cristo has previously been adapted four times for the big-screen, with the last being the enjoyable 2002 Kevin Reynolds-directed effort starring Jim Caviezel and Guy Pearce. Dumas’ epic novel followed sailor Edmond Dantes who is imprisoned on the island prison of Chateau d’If for 13 years, after being framed and falsely accused of treason by his close friend. He eventually escapes with the help of a fellow prisoner and transforms himself into the wealthy Count of Monte Cristo, »

David Goyer To Direct The Count Of Monte Cristo Picture Like A ‘Graphic Novel’
19 March 2013 4:34 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Blade: Trinity director David Goyer has reportedly signed on to direct a new adaptation of a thing, because he’s alive and awake: Alexander Dumas’ classic novel The Count Of Monte Cristo. Goyer, best known for his hand in (admittedly) the best Batman origin story ever told in Batman Begins (but also for directing Blade: Trinity), is no stranger to what he calls “re-invigorating and contextualizing classic characters that are relatable to contemporary audiences”, though his apparent use of the term ‘graphic novel’ to describe a film he’s making has me worried.
The graphic novel is a medium, same as any other, that can be used to tell any kind of story you could possibly think of that doesn’t require specific use of sound or visual motion. I can’t see how, save for the implementation of panel structure onscreen, his statement could make any sense. That someone »
