WORLDS FINEST A COOL TITLE???

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I am sure in the comic book world it is cool but take into account that there are plenty of movies that were actually good that died because the title iself lent nothing to the public that would entice them to come see the movie.

For instance... SW1, called THE PHANTOM MENACE, has a much better ring than ATTACK OF THE CLONES, which by the way, had very few attacking clones in the movie. It would have better been served by a less laughable title such as BIRTH OF THE EMPIRE, a more truthful telling of what happened in this film.

WORLDS FINEST says nothing to those outised the realm of comics, and would count out those that like both franchises but would be turned off if they knew the film would have too much of a comic book feel to it.

As a lover of the XMEN movie, I am sure I will love the second installment. Bryan Singer is a great director and will do a great job. I am sure it will not feel like a comic book.

At least Wolfgang Peterson has the ability to not direct comically rediculous films. He is accomplished. I am sure that this crappy idea done by him may have merit. I hope to god it has merit. If not the world is officially coming to an end.

I'm sure that they're not using the title WORLD'S FINEST for the very reason that you suggest, Dave. But I think it's certainly a better title than BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN, especially since they can't possibly be enemies by the end of the film. Like movies in general, the mass appeal of a title has little to do with its quality.

As for ATTACK OF THE CLONES, I love that title. I thought that it was appropriately cheesy in that serial movie kind of way.

About the X-MEN, I, too, liked the movie, and am anxiously waiting for the sequel. But in my mind, The X-Men will always be The World's Crappiest Heroes.

Axel Foley is Eddie Murphy's character in Beverly Hills Cop.

It is official, this movie is off.

Wolfgang Peterson is busy with Enders Game right now, and that is who they want on this project.

If you want to know what is up with superman at all right now, check out the other superman thread... info there.

I thought that Petersen was making TROY right now. Isn't that one of the reasons why Pitt left THE FOUNTAIN?

I believe you are correct. Let me rephrase that Enders Game is only in preproduction. Peterson did not want to get too bogged down with too many things at once.
