Another live-action robot movie:
after transformers, the next cartoon robot that will be made into a live-action film is...voltron! remember the intro? if you dont, its posted below (cant find a copy of the voltron theme). so will this be as awesome as the transformers movie? well, we cant tell yet but if they make the voltron robot as realistic as the transformers and the fight sequences as spectacular as the battle between the autobots and decepticons, then this movie could be as good, hopefully better. and good thing they chose the lion force over the vehicle voltron (not sure what this other voltron is called). but it would be nice if the vehicle voltron could make a cameo.

two new marvel heroes hitting the big screen: Iron Man and Thor
ok, the Iron Man movie has already been in production for some time now, so its not really new. but there is a new cool pic of the live-action version of IronMan said to be based from a comic book cover. the Iron Man armor looks great. the movie is scheduled to be released May next year (USA, not sure for Philippines. If its considered as a blockbuster like Spiderman, the Philippines would have an earlier release date.im still waiting for Adam Sandler's Reign Over Me which was released in the US last March 23. no idea if this movie will be released here). the other marvel movie to be released next year is The Incredible Hulk, starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. not sure if Norton is really Bruce Banner material. this casting reminds me of Nicolas Cage as Johhny Blaze.
here's the link of the cool Iron Man pose:

the other new marvel hero to be made into a live-action flick is Thor, the Norse God of thunder and war which will be directed by Matthew Vaughn (never heard this guy before but he directed Layer Cake and Stardust, and i havent seen both). this one scheduled to be released on 2009 and im not sure which other marvel movie this one is paired with (since it was announced that there will be two marvel movies each year. forgot where i read this or got this idea. maybe it will be paired with Magneto which is also set to be released on 2009). i wonder if there are plans to make a Dirk Gently movie, another book by Douglas Adams (the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is a book said to be the most useful and reliable book in the universe). Thor was one of the characters on the second Dirk Gently book.
