They made an Indiana Jones with the original writers, it didnt turn out so well.
Times are different any any sequel would more than likely be incredibly sanitised and dull.
Plus he can't be framed twice. Thats silly.
1988 qualifies as "a different time" now? Last I checked, the late '80s weren't regarded as some kind of free-wheeling era where anything was acceptable either.
Its only recently with stuff like Crank that you get mindless action movies like those of the 80's. Higher standards and moral bullshit and what not. A super slutty red head and cartoons being melted in the goop wouldn't fly today. I mean it would, but not without losing out on some of the lucrative kiddy audience it will be made for.

Because I know TLB has a vested interest in this and because we need to begin a boycott against this immediately.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2 on the way soon
Just as excitingly, Hahn is involved in the long-awaited sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. And while it’s all gone quiet in terms of news on Roger 2 — the last we heard was back in November, when it was announced the original’s writers were working on the script — the producer confirms, albeit coyly, that it is still very much happening. “Yeah, I couldn’t possibly comment. I deny completely, but yeah… if you’re a fan, pretty soon you’re going to be very, very, very happy.”
We begin with a letter writing campaign, written to the remaining disney executives in the blood of the other disney executives we have captured and gone all Hostel on. Free punch and pie.
That solution doesn't mention extreme violence and pillaging at all. How will it ever work without it?

MA: Across town at the Distinguished Competition; you're working on Booster Gold with Keith Giffen, which is accompanied by Justice League: Generation Lost by Keith and Judd Winick. At the time of your last JLI story (I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League), you and Keith seemed pretty definitive that you were done with these characters. Did something change either with how you guys felt about it, or with DC?
JMD: We were pretty much done with those characters after I Can't Believe... But time passes and, as it is with good friends you haven't seen in years (even the ones you got really sick of), you start to miss the old gang. I was recently re-reading some of our old JLI stuff and thinking "Hmmm, it'd be fun to write these guys again." Not long after that Keith called about Booster Gold: the timing couldn't have been better. Soon after that, I wrote an episode of Batman: Brave And The Bold -- it's for next season -- that featured a version of our JLI and I had a terrific time. (The good news is I should be getting started on a second JLI episode of B & B very soon.) It was the perfect way to warm up for Booster.
It’s been a big week for Marvel Studios news and if the following report about their plans for San Diego Comic-Con has any truth to it, it just got a lot bigger.
On Monday we wrote about the rumor that the folks at Marvel were looking into the strategy of introducing members of their vast line-up of lesser known characters through short films attached to the theatrical releases of their tentpole big budget superhero epics. What that means for us moviegoers is that, like Disney does with Pixar films (remember, Disney owns Marvel now), we could start seeing The Avengers among other upcoming flicks showcasing 10-minute shorts for the likes of Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Dr. Strange and other characters the studio is interested in adding to their growing franchise.
It made total sense and while unconfirmed, I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if Marvel goes down that path.
Later that day, news broke that Marvel Studios had signed a deal with the writing pair Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Conan, Cowboys and Aliens) to pen the screenplay for a Dr. Strange movie. That, combined with the recent news about the Runaways movie, a S.H.I.E.L.D. film after The Avengers and reports that the studio is in talks with a notable actor about Luke Cage, really emphasized the idea that Marvel wants to grow their franchise and give many of their other properties a chance in the spotlight.
And yes, there’s still Ant-Man…
All of this represents only what has happened over the last few months, with much of it occurring just in the last few weeks no less. What happens a month from now at San Diego Comic-Con when director Kenneth Branagh shows up to debut the first ever Thor trailer for Marvel Studios? What else will they show? What other movies will they tease or announce? What surprises will keep fans talking for months and months after the event closes?
Comic-Con is the most exciting time of the year for comic book fans and most especially, comic book movie fans. Last year we were treated to the wildly entertaining Iron Man 2 panel, but this year we’re likely getting so much more. After all, Marvel has two feature films debuting next year in Thor and The First Avenger: Captain America. On top of that, they have started preliminary work on The Avengers among other properties mentioned above and, unlike last year, we can expect competition from Warner Bros. who will start the ball rolling with Green Lantern and their upcoming slate of movies.
Suffice to say, we expect big things from this year and according to a long-time user of the SuperHeroHype forums, we’ll be getting just that. The forum posts reveal tentative plans for Marvel Studios’ panel at E3 from one of those infamous “well-connected” people. Let’s go through the four points one at a time:
Edward Norton as The Hulk in The Avengers Movie Comic-Con
“I have it on good authority that Ed Norton is returning and, depending on scheduling, he’ll be appearing alongside Renner et al for the official announcements at SDCC.”
Possibly the largest enigma about Marvel Studios casting is that of Edward Norton and the character he played so well, Bruce Banner (aka The Hulk). Since The Incredible Hulk, it’s been nothing but a battle of words and confusion between Norton, Marvel Studios and us, the fans. While we know it’s unlikely that we’ll get to see The Incredible Hulk 2 anytime soon, it was almost law that he would have to be back to play the role in The Avengers.
After Robert Downey Jr. made the cameo appearance in the Hulk film to help market it, it was long-rumored that we’d see Norton repay the favor with a Hulk cameo in Iron Man 2. That didn’t pan out, and even though Hulk’s been repeatedly mentioned and “confirmed” as a character in The Avengers, it’s remained vague as to what extent.
Would we only see him in a small role? Could he be a partly-antagonistic character (Norton thought the idea of a villainous Hulk was “fun”)? From mentioning his agents were in talks with Marvel, denying he knows much about it and saying the Hulk’s return is “only a matter of time” and of course, the initial controversy about which cut of The Incredible Hulk hit theaters, there’s always been a cloud of mystery surrounding Norton’s future with the franchise.
My thoughts: This has been part of the plan all along. Norton’s a fan and he continues to say it’s up to the fans (i.e. us). Of the dozen posts I’ve written about Ed Norton as Bruce Banner and my desire to see him back, there’s been overwhelming positive response and agreement to this idea.
What about the Renner part of that statement? Towards the end of May, we heard the rumor that Oscar-nominated bad-ass actor Jeremy Renner was about to sign on with Marvel Studios to play Hawkeye in The Avengers, confirming age-old rumors that he could play the character after meeting with Marvel long ago to discuss it. Just three weeks ago, it was confirmed that he was in fact in final negotiations to play Hawkeye but we’ve yet to hear the big confirmation that he’s officially signed. Do not be surprised if this happens at the panel at Comic-Con. Be even less surprised if the 6000 attendees packed into the room go absolutely insane at this announcement.
Joss Whedon Directing The Avengers
“There will be an Avengers thingamajig with Whedon (who may or may not be there via telecast, he’s currently in London with the Cap crew and he may or may not be too busy to fly out), Renner and others depending on their schedules (notably Norton).”
Yeap, of course there will be. The Avengers begins production early next year for its 2012 summer release and we just know they’ve been saving some big announcements for this for Comic-Con.
Even though there’s been a lack of official word on it, we know Joss Whedon is directing and helping re-write the script for The Avengers. A geek icon taking the reins of the most ambitious geek movie ever sounds promising, but we’ve yet to see Whedon ride success at the box office. That will no doubt change two years from now and we can most certainly expect him to make an appearance one way or another.
He’s at home on the convention circuit and I’d say it’s likely he’ll be there in person, possibly to unleash some big surprises of his own on the crowd. Since joining the fray, Whedon’s been involved with Captain America along with his own Avengers movie and we also know he’s met with Edgar Wright, likely to discuss Ant-Man and his introduction in The Avengers (insert Nathan Fillion rumor).
I should also note that Edgar Wright will be at Comic-Con as well with Michael Cera to promote Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor in costume with Mjolnir Hammer
“We’re getting the expected massive Thor panel complete with footage/trailer, poster and images. There will be a Cap panel and the plan is currently to have Johnston, Evans, and Weaving there via telecast as they will still be hard at work in London. We should see a poster and pics.”
We know the first part already in that the Thor teaser trailer would premiere at Comic-Con, but how much we’ll get to see from The First Avenger: Captain America and its cast remains a question. Since it hits theaters during San Diego Comic-Con next year, it needs to leave some sort of mark this summer even thought it’s just beginning production in the next few weeks.
"Feige also hopes to announce the Dr. Strange director at some point during SDCC.”
We just found out about the writers for Dr. Strange so it wouldn’t be off the mark for a director selection in the coming month. The question remains as to what movie(s) will accompany The Avengers in the summer of 2012. Marvel wants two full-length features a year with the goal of bumping it up to four. If they get more backing from Disney to do more, if they go about micro-budget films for their secondary characters or even short films for them, we could see quite a few Marvel movies between 2012-2013.
Two announcements I would like to see from Marvel is an idea of the roster for The Avengers and a confirmation on their upcoming line-up and schedule of films: Ant-Man? Runaways? Luke Cage? Heroes for Hire? S.H.I.E.L.D.? The Avengers 2? The Incredible Hulk 2? Dr. Strange?
As cool and awesome (and on my part, expected) as this could all be, what a let down if this is but another completely made-up-for-attention rumor. All of it is based on recent news items and rumors so it could just be someone saying the obvious or playing the guessing game. Think of it as a discussion and opportunity for you to voice your predictions.
Iron Man 2 is still playing in theaters; Thor opens May 5, 2011; The First Avenger: Captain America hits July 22, 2011 and The Avengers is scheduled to debut May 4, 2012. We’ll find out what comes next at San Diego Comic-Con next month!
did anyone mention Nathan Fillion might be Hank Pym? I don't know if i can see him as a wife beater, if they even delve into that in the Avengers, but i want him to get more work!
Edgar Wright has said both Pym and (i cannot remember the name of the ant man who died in disassembled) would be in his Ant Man movie.
I just watched the trailers for Green Hornet and Red. Both look amazing. If Green Hornet is to super spy/hero movie not quite spoofs what Pineapple Express was to stoner movies... man that would be amazing. The secret super hidden gate for the secret super car's secret super garage being a hedgerow with a fake car parked in front of it, that splits right down the middle, including splitting the car in half is truly glorious.
Also, Red looks amazing. That cast, and that trailer, wow.
Wait, is it "The First Avenger: Captain America" or "Captain America: The First Avenger?" I thought I heard it get changed from the former to the latter, but that news guy kept using the original name.
I'm glad Norton might be coming back for Avengers. Now if only Marvel studios would release an Incredible Hulk dvd with most of the deleted scenes integrated with the theatrical cut.

So there now wants to be a director who wants to do the movie, and a producer who wants to do it, at this rate the entire movie will be set up before they get a green light.

That's not good.
That's not good at all.
Public Enemies was a mediocre story in print but became terrible as a movie, this arc was bad to begin with, so that means either the DVD will be mediocre or it will be super terrible.
And they couldn't find Michael Turner art to make the DVD cover art, they had to use Clayton Crain?
Superman/Batman is probably the worst animated comic film I've seen from either of the big two, by far, its terrible. Another one doesn't bode well instead of converting the genuinely good tales into animated form.

It's the Loeb/Turner Supergirl arc from S/B.
I guess calling it Supergirl would be too icky for 10 year old boys to want to watch it (although if they keep with Turner's art style they'd really like hurp durp cheesecake).
No no, that's not a Green Arrow short in the box. It clearly says it includes a short Green Arrow. You're going to get a blonde midget in a robin hood outfit with every purchase.
