Casino Royale was awesome, but the only concern is bringing in a "legit" director who might not really be a fan of Joe is that it will possibly result in a good movie, but not necessarily a good Joe movie...if that makes any sense. Still, Chu and what's his face both produced uneven movies - Retaliation got everything right that Rise of Cobra got wrong, but screwed up everything that it got right - so I'd be more than willing to let Martin Campbell take a crack at it. Hey Martin...let's have more than five minutes of Cobra Commander in this one, kthx.

He at least stayed really faithful to Green Lantern in that adaptation. It just had script and casting issues.

Zorro was great.... Green Lantern, not so much.

All the way on this. CC was so badass in retaliation, but hardly showed him.

I know, my mother and father know nothing of GI Joe and they thought the dude from the Pirates of the Caribbean (President/Zartan) was the leader. I think he had more lines than Roadblock.

I love this news. Campbell makes great movies. I don't know why that article had anything against "The Mask of Zorro", that movie was outstanding. It was the best movie you could ever hope to get featuring Zorro. I admit the sequel was lousy, but any sequel featuring a kid always is.
And Green Lantern has always been unfairly trashed. No, it wasn't great, but it was fun to finally see that character on screen. And it was better than the Hulk, Thor and most of the X-Men movies. But Campbell's real triumph was reinventing Bond. Twice! "Casino Royale" is one of the most beautifully shot blockbusters ever. Having a director of his caliber should make it easier to get some other big name actors signed on. It might mean some changes to characters though. Like if he got Gerard Butler to play Destro, he's not going to be wearing a mask for the whole movie. But I'd be fine with that. I'd much rather see a great movie, than to see something slavishly faithful to a 30 year old comic or cartoon. |

Judging by 300, Butler would be better cast as Mindbender. He's got the 6-pack and he has a weird, sneering, angry face.
Just shave the hair and you've got Mindbender. |

The franchise films can't get any worse than Rise of Cobra, so anything will be an improvement. And Casino Royale was a cracking good film, so if Martin has the chops-- which he appears to-- I'm sure he'll do just fine. Green Lantern was terrible, but the reasons for this are too numerous to name on a big budget film, and may have had zero to do with Martin's actual directing skills.
