Did anyone else read the rumor that Elektra's Skrullitude has opened the door to new Frank Miller Marvel work? Legend has it he's said he wouldn't work there again unless Elektra was dead.

Hopefully it is as good as Robocop.

I don't even consider the first one because i didn't like it. Paul Versomething directed the first one You can't beat Robocop with a Jetpack. GENIUS!

And you live in Detroit...
Wasn't the futuristic horror-world of Robocop based on Detroit?

Am I the only person alive who really can give a shit less about Miller and his "projects"? Half his output is not either not good or over-rated by fanboys (no slight meant to anyone).

Actually no. I don't have that much invested either. Much love to DKR, 300, and Sin City, but his recent stuff doesn't interest me all that much. And he's got so much lined up anyway it's hard to latch on to any one thing.

Half his output is not either not good or over-rated by fanboys (no slight meant to anyone).DKR was good, and I'm kind of excited for Holy Terror Batman, if it ever gets completed. Other than that, I just really don't care. There are much better people in the industry, that just don't have such mainstream credibility.

The last two Miller books I read were All-Star Batman and Dark Knight Strikes Back, so... I am very enthusiastic about him continuing to work in the field of not comic books.

Um.. There's all of this talk of him doing this movie and that movie.. Can't he just settle down and actually do a movie... I don't want to be waiting for lord knows how long for Sin City 2, Ronin and The Spirit.

I don't get why people get so hyped about Frank Miller directing a movie. I mean, he has yet to prove he can direct anything on his own. Like Alan Moore said, and I'm paraphrasing, Comics and Movies are two dissimilar mediums.
Until he does something amazing on his own in the field of film, I'm not going to splooge all over myself when its announced he is directing a movie.

I'm going to have to agree here. For all we know he might have an unbelievable eye for the camera, but just because his comic books are cinematical in scope, doesn't mean he'll be able to translate.
I'm really interested in seeing what the movie ends up looking like, but I'm not all that excited.

Robocop 2 & 3. Miller didn't work on the first one.
Maybe some one can answer this.
My understanding is the only part of Robocop 2 that was in Miller's original story was Robocop 2 the Nuke addicted robot.
It this true?
Also, Frank Miller owes me $2 refund for me renting Robocop 3 back in 1993 and an apology to Atlanta for that crap being filmed here. :mad:

I know that Miller's original ideas were eventually turned into a comic; in a turn of events that surprised me but probably no one else, that comic has its own wikipedia entry, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Miller's_RoboCop)which is probably longer than those of some U.S. presidents.
