I really want the day to come when these hero movies (which have a lot of potential) arent pure hollywood bs. The only one which doesnt fit that category was Batman Begins...

Argh, really? Marvel Studios sounds as bad as Cannon in the 1980s, only with "high brow" talent. Only the "Hulk" sounds like fun... Given the contract (if Marvel Studios loses money, whoever their guaranteer--I can't remember which fund it is--gets Marvel Comics, Studios, Toys and all the characters), I'd think they'd go for Michael Bay on this one... I mean, John Milius is a better choice than this guy.

Listen Alex Billington. I like what you do here with this site and you get some good scoop on stuff that even AICN lags on. They have serious kickback issues over there but you guys have serior Divination issues over here. Your claims are really offputting sometimes, like how Hitman will certainly suck with less blood (the main hinge point), and that Jon Favreau and Matthew Vaughn were perfect choices. Like, how do you know that and that Marvel are kick ass at assigning suitable directors off of one credible example (Sam Raimi) above. Although, this too, can be contended. I just thought you should know. The scooping is excellent. Opinion is good too, obviously(what the hell do you think I'm doing), but for the love of God... keep those opinions limited to substantiating evidence and not hearsay or projected scalings. That's what OK! and US Weekly are for. We are a better community are we not. A little more discerning one would say.

I appreciate your concern and understand your view, however, it's my nature to be quite optimistic considering films like these. I don't think it would be right to start at the bottom and say that this film will suck unless it builds up, I prefer to start at the top saying it will be awesome unless it builds down. So far, so good considering what I've seen. As for the directors, I think the 3 choices they've made at least show that they don't take choosing directors very lightly and that's why I have a bit of confidence in Marvel for this choice, too... I wouldn't say that this is hearsay as much because it's not a rumor and it's me giving my opinion based on some very basic facts, albeit possibly flimsy ones. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Our friend John over at TMB has a much more negative opinion on the matter and he expresses it as well: http://www.themovieblog.com/2007/10/nick-cassavetes-to-direct-captain-america-bad-idea I'm a bit more positive, because I actually really want Captain America to be good...!

To Alex Billington: Thanks for responding to my issues. I realize I was rather hard-lined there. I guess I should before being hot-headed like that acknowledge that I appreciate First Showing and your conveying true love of film to an audience of like cinephiles. Trying to restructure the theater going experience is something I applaud whole heartedly. Sorry for singling you out. Keep doing what you do. More to Point: I believe Nick Cassavetes has got the chops for realizing such a shaky franchise as Captain America. C'mon you know that our rightfully suspicious nation is going to immediately think propaganda when they see this thing float in on an epic trailer. However, looking at Cassavetes prior films, he understands subtlety and mainlining moral dilemmas(something I haven't seem Sam Raimi really accomplish regardless of his awesomeness). Cassavetes, i do believe, will be able assuage some of the visual ridiculousness of Captain America and provide an amazing spin on the mythology. The potential is there. You got that right.

Since when does spiderman get all the glory...captain would squash that bug. I just wanted to say that i think they should get a no name to play captain america. Besides I know just about everthing about him, so if anyone needs any info.... email me at CaptainAmerica19@live.com anthonyhickson@rocketmail.com have ideas for movie. I think its kind of pathedic that all other superhero's are working on 3 or 4 movies and captain doesn't even get one...I realize his story is fairly complicated though. Just don't hear of him that much anymore...have we forgot what he represents and what he does for America...especially in the shape where in now...i think it's just what america needs. Fight for the Red White and Blue. Who knew? -Anthony
