- Shuler Donner Producing Metal Men!
Source: The Hollywood Reporter April 4, 2007
The Hollywood Reporter says that Warner Bros. Pictures has set up the comic book adaptation Metal Men with producer Lauren Shuler Donner ("X-Men" films, Constantine). Eric Champnella has been brought on board to write.
Based on a DC Comics hero created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru in 1962, the story revolves around a brilliant scientist, William Magnus, and his creations: six highly advanced robots who have powers associated with their respective metals -- gold, iron, lead, tin, mercury and platinum. Instead of having to be programmed, the Metal Men can think for themselves, which is both their genius and their biggest flaw.
The heroes made their first appearance in "Showcase," where they were created as filler but proved to be unexpectedly popular and received their own title. The heroes served as a dysfunctional family, and the stories balanced sentimentality, humor and action.
Jack Leslie of the Donners' Company also is producing.
Geoff Johns, who was an assistant to Richard Donner before becoming one of the comic world's renowned writers, helped develop the take and will executive produce. A mon avis si FF2 est un succés le film a beaucoup de chance de se faire greenlighter trés vite .(aprés scénar terminé , et réal signé quand meme hein ) perso je signerais sans tarder un Joe Dante (qui me manque perso ) aprés perso je connais pas plus que ca ces héros , mais ca peut etre fun et puis Lauren Donner en général est associée a de la qualité (spécialement quand Arad et Tom Rothman ne sont pas la pour fouttre leur merde ) - Citation :
- The Metal Men were presented as advanced artificially intelligent robots, created by scientist Dr. William "Will" Magnus. "Doc" Magnus (as his creations affectionately call him) states that their intelligence and personalities are generated by devices called "responsometers". They mirror characteristics commonly associated with their namesake metals, both in personality and in substance. According to some accounts the Metal Men are actually composed of various metals, while in others, they are made of a chemical substance that can duplicate the properties of a specific metal as determined by the programming of their individual "responsometers".
The team consisted of their field leader Gold, strong man Iron, slow-witted and loyal Lead, self-doubting and insecure Tin, hot-headed Mercury, and Platinum, or Tina, who thought she was a real woman rather than a robot and was, in a Pygmalion twist, in love with creator Doc Magnus. Tin later kit-built himself a girlfriend whom he called "Nameless" who shared some adventures.
While all of the Metal Men were basically shapeshifters, each of them had abilities that reflected the traits of their namesake metal. Gold could stretch his body almost infinitely, Iron was super strong, Lead could block harmful radiation and the like and usually morphed into shields, Mercury could melt and reform himself, and Platinum could stretch and flatten herself.
The Metal Men's main foes included Chemo (a mobile plastic giant filled with various lethal chemicals), the robotic alien Missile Men, the Gas Gang, and other mechanical menaces such as a robotic T-Rex, robo-centaur, robot-Egg Fu, the Sizzler, and nefarious amusement park rides. On several occasions Doc constructed new robots of different metals such as Uranium, Silver, Cobalt, Chromium, and others, including counterpart "boyfriend and girlfriend" robots. The new robots always went to the scrap heap. The Metal Men also had many adventures on other planets, usually meeting robot menaces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Men | |

| Metal Men je les adore et oui ça ferait un super de bon film. Anecdote: ds un numéro de Superman les Metal Men sont venus au secours de Superman contre Metallo. Dans leur évolution présentement, depuis Crisis: Infinite, les Metal Men sont pas très, très gentil Et le choix avec Dante wow, oui, car il est capable de sarcasme ce cinéaste ( ex. "Les Gremlins" ). Avec ces créatures charmantes il t'a donné toute une critique de notre société, de nos valeurs bien établies comme pour la fête de Noël par exemple. Gremlins et Metal Men, une mince frontière peut les séparer. J'avoue que je suis éberlué avec de nouveaux projets de chez WB. Vous vous imaginez: Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Justice League ( est-ce qui m'en manque, outre Dark Knight et Superman), que tous ces projets se concrétiseraient. | |

- Si vous pouvez nous en parler d'avantage pour savoir un peu a quoi ca ressemble
Du film ou du comics book Kalel? Pour le film, comme le dis Tay, il aurait une équipe du tonnere. Comme Geoff Johns connu chez DC avec ses super histoires, son rôle pour le film il serait une référence pour le scénario et producteur exécutif en plus. Ça c'est intéressant, au moins un staff qui connaît bien les personnages des Metal Men. | |
