Pop Culture Roundup July 20, 2006
Is a film based on DC Comics' Doom Patrol in the works? Variety says so.
...with Akiva Goldsman producing the bigscreen adaptation through his Warners-based Weed Road Pictures.
Studio has hired Adam Turner to pen the screenplay.
"These are some of the most original, offbeat comicbook characters we have ever come across, and Adam Turner's unique sensibility makes him a perfect fit for the material," Goldsman told Daily Variety.
-------------------------------
In other supermovie news:
Marvel Comics plans a new Hulk movie directed by Louis Leterrier, creator of "The Transporter" sci fi films. Sound like it'll be sort of a "do-over" with a new cast and take on the Green Goliath. Good idea, considering how horrid the first one was.
And "Hellboy" director Guillermo Del Toro is slated to do a film based on DC's Deadman. This is a natural as far as superhero flicks go. A ghost who inhabits other's bodies--the concept is very unusual, cool and full of possibilities.
------------------------------
By the way, here's a recent interview with comics scribe Arnold Drake who, Hollywood studios should not forget, co-created both the Doom Patrol (with artist Bruno Premiani) and Deadman (with artist Carmine Infantino).
It's never too early to start making a stink: Let's see Arnold get an on-screen credit and some cash when these movies roll out.
------------------------------
Bubblegumfink shares some "Hardy Boys" trading cards. Wasn't Sean Cassidy just the dreamiest?
-------------------------------
I know! I know! "Paul is dead"!!!!
Legendary Beatles producer George Martin promises a prize to fans who can crack a "code" found in the upcoming soundtrack to The Beatles LOVE, which is now playing at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.
More.
--------------------------------
Today in sharity: Ymu Sumac Live in Russia 1961.
--------------------------------
The stolen-but-recovered "Let it Be"-era Beatles tapes recently in the news may find their way to official release soon, says Apple Records honcho Neil Aspinall.
"These tapes have huge commercial value. They've got over 80 hours or more of sound footage on them of The Beatles recording and chatting about everything. There's lots of very unknown stuff and music on there that they wouldn't have recorded in a normal session. For example, they covered over 200 songs on these tapes, songs of the day such as Bob Dylan," the Daily Mail quoted him, as saying.
All this, of course, would be very exciting if we hadn't already heard a lot of stuff years ago on bootleg and know the majority of it to be pretty much godawful.
