Is a DiCaprio produced Aquaman film really that close to happening?

This post is just for kicks; but I want to talk about it anyway. A year ago we posted that Leonardo DiCaprio's production company bought the rights to produce a big-budget Aquaman film. Then about a month ago we posted that Warner Brothers is pushing to get Aquaman off the ground. I even gave my opinion on who should play the underwater superhero.

On DiCaprio's IMDB profile, it lists Aquaman as "In Development". Normally, an "In Development" status is nothing to get excited about. But, knowing that Warner Brothers wants to get this movie going, can we get SOMEWHAT excited? I want to answer yes! I was hoping for Paul Walker as the casting choice, but I doubt that will happen. How about the dream scenario of DiCaprio, Producer AND Star?!

In Entourage, the HBO show, there was a rumor DiCaprio was in talks to play the superhero, why can't that rumor be reality? Nothing is impossible. I would have never thought in a million years Edward Norton would play a superhero, and guess what? He did, a big green one in The Incredible Hulk. So this is not outside the realm of possibility.

If you read this entire post, then you're interested, so it can't be a complete waste of time. Let's hope the movie is actually made, and pray a little more that it's actually a good movie! I know what I'm going to ask Santa for this year.

Who should star in all these new Superhero movies?

Yesterday I posted news of Wonder Woman, The Flash and Aquaman coming to life. I'm really excited about this. Ever since I was a kid, I remember having ideas in my head of what the superheros would look like in live-action adaptations. If you have ever read this blog, you will see the passion I have for superhero movies. So, what actors should take these roles? I'll tell ya!

This post is completely for fun, I have no say in any of this, but It's fun to use your imagination to match actors to superheros. Heck, one time I was right on the money. So let's go in order and discuss casting.

First, Green Lantern is already set, they're currently in production. Ryan Reynolds was not the person I wanted. It came down to Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper; I was rooting for Cooper. Don't get me wrong, I love Ryan Reynolds in almost anything he does, but to me, Cooper was a better choice; especially coming off the success of The Hangover. Cooper was funny and witty in that film, something that would have to shine through for the character of Hal Jordan (Green Lantern).

OK, here's a biggie, Wonder Woman is a great character. There is no way to win this argument, but I'm looking at looks, build, and acting ability. She needs to be cast perfectly, you ready?... Kate Beckinsale. Now, I'm not the first person by any means to suggest this, but she would be perfect! She can act (The Aviator) and she can kick butt (Underworld). Look at these pictures of Beckinsale actually dressed as Wonder Woman for Halloween, classic! She deserves an online petition or something.

Next is The Flash, a character I really don't care for; with proper casting, Warner Brothers could quickly change my mind. So what do we know about The Flash? He's fast, obviously, but he's a smart character as well. Who has the physique and brains to play the character?... Ryan Gosling. I've been a fan of his since Murder by Numbers, and LOVED Fracture. He has what it takes.

And last but not least is Aquaman. More than any other character, I want to see Aquaman come to the big screen. I've been talking about it for years now, my pick?... Paul Walker. Listen, Walker is not going to be winning any Oscars any time soon OK; he looks the part EXACTLY. I've read the comics since I was a kid and Walker is a spitting image of Arthur Curry (Aquaman). Walker was Into The Blue, he was basically Aquaman in that movie. He's my pick and I'm sticking to it.

Let me know what choices you agree or disagree with (the blog is Agree to Disagree after all). This is a fun time for this blogger, the golden age of comic cinema.

Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Flah, Aquaman are all going to happen?!

Warner Brothers is tearing it up! I love it! The superhero genre is in full effect at Warner Brothers Studio. The guys at /Slashfilm has some great news to make this blogger a very happy camper. Let's dive right in.

So we already knew about the Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds. But what we didn't know was that there is an animated series set to begin after the live-action movie is released. The show will very obviously be called: "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" on Cartoon Network.

Next is news of two other superheros about to be greenlit for their own live-action films. I keep reading that Wonder Woman and The Flash are weeks about from a green light. I would love to see a Wonder Woman movie, hopefully with an actress that is both beautiful AND can act. I realize that is a tough combination when it comes to today's young actresses, but it's OK, I have hope.

As for The Flash, I could care less. If they make the movie I hope it's nothing more than a setup to a Justice League film.

And lastly there are rumors of an Aquaman film, I love it! I posted something about this a long time ago; but now it's starting to come back around. Nothing more than rumor right, but I WANT TO SEE AN AQUAMAN MOVIE!

Quickie: Warner Brothers looking for an Aquaman script

Anyone love Entourage like Matt and I do? Well, a dream is going to be soon realized... an Aquaman movie! The Hollywood Reporter states that Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, is in charge of getting the movie on its feet. In Entourage, an HBO fictional show, the main character plays Aquaman in a big budget film directed by James Cameron. Rumors have been flying for years about this movie getting a scribe and director. The CW had success with the character as a guest on Smallville and eventually had a pilot for an Aquaman show; which they decided not to pick up. The pilot was number one on iTunes for over a year. Now? Now we wait and see.
