Superhero movie barrel finally gotten to the bottom of




Holy shit, what possible interest could anyone have in this? Young-fucking-blood movie directed by Brett Ratner...I can't even begin to fathom this. Has Rob Liefeld even been heard from in ten years? “Most of the great graphic novels are gone...” Ratner told the trade. You ain't fucking kidding, buddy, if you paid money for the rights to a crap comic that died out back when Image was still something people didn't snicker about. But how authentic will it be? Can they capture the feel of the comic? Will one actor take multiple parts with different wigs to display Liefeld's trademark inability to draw more than three faces or hairstyles? Will all the actors have some kind of grass and rocks attached to their shoes to really feel the essence of his complete lack of aptitude at drawing human feet? The silver lining in this story is that if he is off making a Youngblood movie at least Ratner isn't busy fucking up another, better comics property.
