5 Comics That Should Be Movies
We are in a comic book renaissance of sorts. The comics themselves aren’t selling like they were even two decades ago, but they have a loyal following that keeps the industry chugging quietly along. The bread and butter of the industry is now selling the rights of comics for a big screen adaptation. Each new comic book […]
The Longbox: Comic Book Casting: The Justice League
Superhero movies have taken over cinemas across the globe. Marvel Studios hit the ground running with 2008’s Iron Man and culminated with the 3rd highest grossing film of all time, 2012’s The Avengers. Marvel has figured out the formula and shows no signs of slowing down. With the exception of Chris Nolan’s Batman trilogy, DC Comics has […]
DC Moving Forward With ‘Justice League’ and ‘Wonder Woman’ Films
The Avengers has dominated everything. Domestic box office numbers. Global box office numbers. Superhero films. Every film except for Titanic and Avatar.

That is one of the reasons I am still watching The Cape. It’s not a great show, but I think it’s fun […]

Wonder Woman TV Series Will Happen Eventually
David E. Kelley has been very successful in the television community. Doogie Howser, M.D., Ally McBeal, and Boston Public are just a few of the television successes that he has created. So it seems odd to me that every major studio would pass on his pitch for a new show. It seems even more odd […]
