  • Mark Millar Really, Really Wants the Superman Gig

    This looks like a job for...When the folks at Warner Bros. begin searching for a writer for the studio's planned Superman franchise reboot, they need look no further than Mark Millar. In a recent interview with G4, the Scottish-bred author of Wanted and Kick-Ass resumed his lobbying for the Man of Steel gig, laying out his ambitious plans for an epic, seven-hour trilogy in the style of Lord of the Rings. (Turns out you can do a proper trilogy in less than nine hours if you don't have a dozen endings. Who knew?)

    What makes him the right guy for the job? Among other impressive Supes fanboy credentials, Millar bragged to G4 that he'd purchased the corpse of the cat saved by Christopher Reeve in the first Superman flick, had it stuffed and mounted it atop his piano. Impressive. Creepy, but impressive.

  • McLovin Getting Ready to Kick-Ass!

    Way above PG this time...The Mark Millar comic Kick-Ass, which has been dubbed too violent for Sony and several other major Hollywood studios, is moving forward as an indie. Christopher Mintz-Plasse -- who showed off his ballistic prowess in Superbad as the thuggish, gun-wielding McLovin -- is in talks to play another heavy. This time a gangster's son. Last week, Nicolas Cage joined the cast.

    Meanwhile: Too violent for Hollywood? What could possibly be too violent for Hollywood? Does Kick-Ass show non-exclusive premium cable distribution deals getting brutally eviscerated, or something similarly horrifying to the average producer? Nope, it's simply about a bunch of really young crimefighters taking on grown-up baddies in Hollywood's usual shoot-first-then-shoot-more-later style.
