Fox to make a movie about Stan Lee
It looks like Fox is gonna make a movie about Stan Lee's life, and it will be an action adventure movie.

I'd much rather see a Jack Kirby or Will Eisner biopic.

It will be a senses shattering saga of shameless self promotion and the delirious drafting of horrendously hammy dialogue for other people's spectacular stories.

Would rather a Biopic about Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

This is just straight up stupid.

Probably great, since he signed the deal.

How about instead of a crap action/adventure film or a CRAP biopic, we get a fleshed-out documentary about Stan Lee and Jack Kirby?

It's not a bad idea in and of itself, but I feel like it appeals to the lowest common denominator. It's as if people are too stupid to enjoy anything that doesn't have explosions or titties or exaggerated drama. What's wrong with a documentary that sets the facts down and tells a story with them?

I don't think I've ever seen a biopic, but I imagine they add all sorts of ridiculous garbage drama that "heightens" the stakes of the story.

How would a Fox treatment of this topic be different from say, Platinum Dunes?
And who would be cast in either case?

Go.

All they need is to get Bryan Cranston to play Stan Lee

Do you think Will Smith will play Stan Lee? They said its an action movie, and who better to play Stan Lee than a black actor like Will Smith?

They made Deadshot into Will Smith, so why not Stan Lee?

Will Stan Lee even still be alive at the time this movie comes out? I mean, I hope the guy makes it to 100, but at his age you never know.

Its being made by 20th Century Fox, I'm sure they could afford Bryan Cranston if they wanted him for the role.

That's why I said Platinum Dunes! They probably can't even afford Michael Bay anymore with the BO results of the last TMNT film.
