Files under Film, TV | 3 Comments

So, you mean, it won’t just be called The X-Files 2?  Shocker.  No, instead this summer’s X-Files sequel will be titled The X-Files: I Want to Believe.  Yes, it is a bit wordy.

What is it with black leather?  Why does every comic book turned film have to drape its heroes in black leather?  Are they all bikers?  Aren’t moviegoers already suspending their disbelief enough with flying people to accept they might wear orange?

Steven Spielberg is an interesting guy.  As his career has lengthened, he has seemed less and less interested in personally making the big popcorn films that made him a household name.  That’s understandable.  What is sort of interesting is his continued interest in such films from a producing standpoint.  Lately there’s been Transformers, and now Ghost In The Shell.

One thing you will have to hand to comic book movies, it looks like they’re finally starting to get the whole poster thing.  From Spider-Man 3’s memorable black and red Spideys facing off, to this new one for The Incredible Hulk, it appears those in marketing finally realized they are adapting from a very visual medium that may already have 1,000s of great ideas waiting to be used.  Each issue’s cover is another brilliant possibility!  Oddly enough, this poster (courtesy of IGN) resembles a certain Spider-Man comic book.
