Seriously, why does Lucas get to make movies?

For the record, I'd love to see a superhero movie by Paul Thomas Anderson.

That'd be great! I think he could do a very interesting fight scene/ action sequence.

Director of Darjeeling Limited, Wes Anderson. My bad. I always think his name is Paul for some reason, and the Mortal Kombat director is Wes.

Fixed.

I think Wes Anderson could do a interesting superhero movie to. Maybe not an established character though, I can't think of any that would fit him that well.

There can't be a superhero movie with a soundtrack featuring The Clash, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie or The Beatles.

I say the lack of these is what's holding superhero movies back.

As much as I like those bands... Superhero movies need pumped up, charged up music. They are essentially action/sci-fi ish movies and need the audience to be pumped up during their scenes. Can't get the same effect with Obla-Di-Obla-Da. You feel pumped up for the movie when Audioslave played in the trailer for Iron Man. Wouldn't get the same effect with say a Paul Simon song.

And I don't think a Wes Anderson type superhero movie would work. Well... maybe in a dark comedy kind of way but then it wouldn't really be a superhero movie. It'd be a comedy or a parody of the genre.

Like... I wouldn't call Ennis' and Amanda Conner's The Pro a Superhero book even though it features superheroes. I'd call it a dark comedy before I call it a superhero book.

Absolutely.

But which one?

I think he would've done a cool FF. John C. Reily as the thing.

Also maybe Powerman & Iron fist.

You know, I was just kidding around with that first post but now that I think about it, Wes Anderson would make a badass superhero action movie. Remember the scene from The Life Aquatic with "search and destroy" playing? That was fucking awesome!

Cause once you get your foot in the door and get one hit movie you get every media mogul fighting to climb up your ass till you feel so high on life you wanna POP! -(yes I spelled that right...eh hemm...) and you just think you're great so then instead of hiring Harrison and the gang for the best 3 sequels to the first three incredible movies you made you lose your mind and do 3 ludicris prequels that I haven't watched still....

Did that help ya?
