I hope dunc succeeds, although it’ll probably end up like BR:2049, which deserved all the money in the world.
Denis needs a winner
Correct. I have learned with Dune it has to be perfect or it will be hated. The movies Sci-Fi did proves that.He should probably pick more popular properties then. I mean Dune divides even hardcore Nerd Culture and Bladerunner is super niche.
If it fails though I am sure he and Nolan will blame HBO Max for it.
i just found out that nic cage has a nephew, bailey coppola, who is a doppelganger of his younger self.
lol.

What is happening????
I like this, but what is happening??
Well this is officially confusing.
I’m just surprised that WB is choosing to develop both when they’re already doing the movie, but if Jordan is playing Val Zod, that’s a game changer.A black Clark Kent movie and a Val-Zod series.

BIG NEWS HITTING THE WIRES as we were trying to put this edition to bed.
Collider broke the story that WarnerMedia’s HBO Max and DC are developing a SECOND Black Superman project. This one has Michael B. Jordan producing, possibly starring in, a limited series for the streaming service based on the Val-Zod incarnation of the character.
Jordan tried to develop a Black Superman feature when he and his production company Outlier Society had a first-look deal at Warner Bros. Depending on who you talk to, it fell apart because Jordan wanted too much control over the project or Warner Bros. was shifting away from actors having control as producers, which sounds like different sides of the same coin to us.
Jordan eventually left the Warners tent and the studio later handed the reins to J.J. Abrams, who brought in Ta-Nehisi Coates to work on a take and story.
But here’s what happened next, according to sources: The HBO Max side of the business then approached Jordan and asked him if he’d like to try his project for them. It was either synergy or, at the time, a surprise, depending on who you talk to. No overlap is seen, however, as Jordan’s is considered to be early development and on a different time track.
HBO Max had no comment.
Elsewhere, Batgirl was found this week. Leslie Grace, a breakout from the Warner Bros' In the Heights, has been tapped to play the titular character in HBO Max’s feature.
The casting process was unusually swift, surprising those that had skin in the game. There was a short burst of meetings and screen tests in June and by the 4th of July holiday weekend the videos of the shortlist were sent to the directing duo of Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. “I expected a longer process for such a big role,” says one agent.
One motivation for the swiftness: sources say training will take months and so will the tailoring of the suit.
Val-Zod would've been the perfect choice if they continued with Snyder's DCEU because his story was very much like New 52 Earth-2 story and it would've been the perfect way to introduce Val-Zod.Whatever MBJ wants he is the key fore not the version of the character. If he wanted to be Clark that was fine by me.
Guess I have to research Val Zod now
Very happy about the Val-Zod news.

Icon is more like Martian Manhunter than Superman.Its kind of interesting that he's also doing a Static Shock movie for HBO Max. There is character called Icon who is Superman like as well. Wonder if they are just letting him have his own mini universe.
