And speaking of me being right about everything, it was recently announced Channing Tatum is in talks to play Superman...Lego Superman, that is. I'm more surprised by there actually being a Lego Movie, but there you go, Batman and Superman are a part of that.
Reactions are varied, but one thing is for sure...I called it. I wrote this in 2009 in the thread "You're the producer of the Superman Film" in the form of supposed future news.

February 22 2010 Meet the Rogues Gallery of Superman: Up in the Sky My sources inside WB have it on good word what villains will be a thorn on Superman's side come next 2011 . But Don't let them know you heard it from me! We already know Lex Luthor is in, but my sources say the film will also have Livewire, Manchester Black, Silver Banshee, and The Parasite, as well as Crime boss Bruno Manheim . Click on each name for more information. I am kind of worried. Though. We don't want the movie to become encumbered with characters, like X3: The Last Stand. What do you think? |
Putting on a group of smaller villains. They are essentially superpowered henchmen in the film."
Suffice to say, the "group of Smaller villains" bit came true in Smallville, with at least two of my called for members joining up."
They said I was crazy. I WAS. But I was also right that Tatum was going to be big later down the road.
And then I did the photoshop.
I still think Rosario Dawson should be Lois, and you can't stop me thinking it. |
