BTW, thanks for these.

But a Blade television series? the Nightstalkers were cool. They get their own spin-off. Danica Talos was well acted. She also died. There was funny music and the last movie pretty much sucked. It really was for vampire and Blade fans.

So of course, why not make a tv series. You know people have to watch it.

I was a huge fan of the first two Blade movies... the third one was absolute garbage... save Ryan Reynolds acting... but the rest of it was so bad...

I've never been more disappointed in a comic movie...
 
- A "Curious George" film is set to be released in Feb 2006 with Ron Howard and Brian Grazer producing. An animated television series of Curious George will debut in the Fall of 2006.

My son will be thrilled.
 
The first was ok because it was novel. The second had a fascinating premise that could have been fantastic but wasn't. The third had some serious comedy (Especially from Reynolds who was great) but was pretty terrible otherwise.

Marvel's Film Slate From 4th Quarter Report

March 7, 2005


Marvel Enterprises, Inc. just held their 4th Quarter Earnings Conference Call and some interesting items were covered by Marvel Studios' Avi Arad. X-Men 3 is now scheduled for May 22nd, 2006 (that's a Monday and he mentioned Memorial Day which is the following Monday - perhaps he meant May 26 instead?). The movie was previously set for the first weekend in May. He added that the story for the third film is better than the first two films and that Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are back and that they're putting the video game into development early.

Arad said that you can expect the new Fantastic Four poster in 10 days. He also said the promotion for the film will be on par with the "Spider-Man" franchise and that the trailer will be seen with Fox films like "Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith" and "Kingdom of Heaven," and even Warner Bros.' Batman Begins.

While it was believed Ghost Rider would be an early 2006 release, Arad mentioned it will be a summer movie.

UPDATE 11:43 am, EST: During this morning's conference call with investors, Marvel executives illuminated some of the points from the report. In regards to the deal with Paramount, it was stressed that Marvel will now have greater creative control over their films, with Avi Arad pointing out that while Marvel does have solid relationships with studios, the move to producing their own films was a natural growth for the company.

Along with Captain America and Nick Fury, Arad did mention The Avengers as an upcoming film project. Arad said that he hopes that the firstfruits of the
relationship with Paramount will see screens by the end of 2007 or
early 2008.

Arad noted that changes in the film schedule included with the Q2 numbers, citing the deletions and moves of previously announced films as one of the reasons that spurred Marvel to move into production – this way, Arad said, Marvel will have more control over release dates and production schedules.

As mentioned above, Arad pointed out that while Elektra was a box office disappointment, the DVD sales made up for it, which bodes very well for Marvel moving into production on its own, as it will receive all the profits from DVD sales.

Arad also announced that a Fantastic Four trailer will be attached to Star Wars Episode III.

X-Men 3 is slated for a Memorial Day 2006 opening.

The upcoming Ghost Rider film starring Nic Cage will have a tie in with "choppers" according to Arad, as well as a "unique" video game (to be announced at E3), and "interesting" toy line – after which Arad referenced the Evil Kenevil toys from the `70s.

The animated FF will debut with the release of Fantastic Four on DVD later this year, in order to continue the franchise until the sequel. "We won't go dark between sequels," Arad said.

During the Q&A Arad noted that release about a Killraven film with Sony was premature, and that the reported deal with Sony is not complete, with many studios clamoring for the property.

In speaking about a live-action Avengers movie, Arad pointed out that the team has had numerous characters in it over the years, so developing a film won't be a problem, even if some traditional "Avengers" characters are licensed to other studios, such as Iron Man and Thor.
