Ladic Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Mostow Helms "Sub-Mariner" Film Posted: Thursday September 14th 2006 12:56am Source: Assorted Sources Author: Garth Franklin Jonathan Mostow ("Terminator 3", "U-571", "Breakdown") is set to rewrite and direct "Sub-Mariner", an adaptation of one of Marvel Comics' oldest superheroes for Universal Pictures reports the trades. The comics, created in 1939, centers on a young man who discovers he's actually a descendant from the royal ruling family of the long-lost kingdom of Atlantis. He turns out to be the key man in a brewing war between the underwater world and our own - frequently finding himself helping the human race as much as he fights it when humans pollute the waters. Mostow has cleared his schedule to make "Sub-Mariner" his next film which means we'll likely see a 2008 release date. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news06/060914h.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt.actionjackson Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I just don't see how the Sub Mariner is a character an entire movie can revolve around. To me he was always the Marvel answer to Aquaman. Both are equally as lame IMO. Spending millions of dollars to launch a movie around either one just seems like a waste of money.

Roy Focker Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 What a bore this will be. This is of course speaking from my limited knowledge of Sub-mariner from his brief appearances I think in the old (pre-fox) Spiderman cartoons. Hmmm... Spock wearing only a speedo swimming in the sea fighting crimes. Where's my ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool8or Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 To me he was always the Marvel answer to Aquaman. No no no... Namor was prior Aquaman.... Aquaman IS the copy! Submariner is the Original Sub-Mariner was created on 1939. First appearance: Motion Picture Funnies Weekly (April 1939). Aquaman was created on 1941. First appearance: More Fun Comics #73 (November 1941). By the way, Sub-Mariner was the first anti-hero, and also the first mutant in the Marvel Universe.

Mr March Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 An uninteresting super hero film made by a studio director. This has Daredevil/Electra/Catwoman/Fantastic Four written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One issue he's saving humanity from some threat and in the next he's leading a army to conquer mankind. IMPERIOUS REX forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiriyu Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Mr. March, it sounds as if you Sub-scribe to the theory that Hollywood is attempting Sub-limation of our childhood comic book heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Indeed they are! Hollywood will beat their audience into Sub-Mission with their Sub-Standard summer blockbuster fare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiriyu Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Agreed. I will likely not go to see this movie, as I do not wish to allow the studios which mine this cultural Sub-Strate to Sub-Sist upon my earnings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noyhauser Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'd like to say someone's childhood got raped, but I mean who read the sub-mariner? Anyone who did probably deserved it getting raped in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
