His Hobbit didn't happen, the video game Insane never came out, not sure what his involvement with The Strain will be, and I'm not optimistic that we'll ever see Mountains of Madness.
I think the problem is that Del Toro likes to talk and he's very open with the fanboy press, so we get details about every possible project or meeting he's barely worked on. Most of the time these type of early development ideas don't make the press since little ever comes of them.

Wow, 2 high profile Warner Brothers Pilots leaked in the last month. Someone must really hate their job there and wants to give the middle finger to the WBTV suits.

That or WB is doing it intentionally, trying to get some good buzz. So far, that seems to be working.

I'll be curious if the I, Zombie pilot gets leaked.

To be honest, I thought the pilot was just okay. Nothing really amazing, and aside from Keanu being a little slightly miscast, I thought the film was just fine.

I'll watch it, and it did have a lot of DC easter egg drops in there. But something felt a little off.

and they are cutting out a character completely from the show: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/328...ts-female-lead

Interesting that they're bringing in Zed. Can Mercury and Marj be far behind?

Nice to know that the producers are actually reading the comics if they're bringing in obscure characters like Zed.

The Spectre might be coming to the the show.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/...to-constantine

That would be awesome if it does happen. It would be even more awesome if they spin The Spectre off into his own show like Flash did with Arrow.

The Spectre could practically get his own show. I guess DC is getting much more liberal with its licensing policies or this is a test to see if a spin-off could be developed from Constantine. I'm glad to know it will be set in a broader mystical DC universe. Hopefully Detective Chimp makes an appearance...

Detective Chimp! :up:

Definitely, especially if they got John Ostrander to write it. His run on the Spectre in the 90s was excellent, definitely one of the highlights of the otherwise bleak 90s era of comics.

Re: Adaptation Of DC Comics’ Constantine From Daniel Cerone & David Goyer Lands At NB
 
I can neither confirm nor deny if I will be making an appearance on the show...

Phantom Stranger? The Spectre? What about Swampy? He would be as good a fit as any. But really Etrigan fits in the best. I hope we at least see Jason Blood make an appearance.

Hokeyboy 07-16-14 11:03 AM

Klarion, please. And Shade the Changing Man. ALSO: Jim Dandy to the Rescue.

I would guess Swamp thing might be beyond a TV show budget.

And before someone mentions the Swamp Thing TV show, a good Swamp Thing.

To be fair, the costume in the USA Swampy show was REALLY good, and a TON better than the one used in the first movie.

I think we might see a cool version of the Trenchcoat brigade in the series.

This show really opens up a lot of opportunities as far as exploring the mystical side of the DCU. Not only could we see characters such as Zatara, Zatanna, Etrigan, Jason Blood, Klarion, Merlin, Madame Xanadu, etc. The possibilities are endless (of course depending on licensing issues and how long the show lasts ;)).

I think Jason Blood is a no-brainer for making an eventual appearance, hair dye is a cheap effect. Etrigan is another matter entirely, one that would have to be done completely in CGI.

Not necessarily. They could do it with a mix of practical and CG effects. They handled Doomsday in Smallville by giving him a big latex suit (albeit a pretty crappy looking one).

And Doomsday looked absolutely terrible on Smallville. It is possible to have a practical costume that looks awesome, but usually the necessary budget ends up costing as much or more than CGI.

hanshotfirst1138 07-16-14 11:01 PM
I think that even with cable, there's still an upper limit to what you can do with FX given the time and budget constraints of TV. Doomsday is also a hugely FX-type character, it's not like you could reinvent him as a dude with makeup on his face like the Joker, the look is completely alien and monstrous.

Comic Con trailer. Looks awesome.

Emmett Scanlan has been cast as Jim Corrigan, and he will be a recurring character. It doesn't say he will become The Spectre, but hopefully he will.

That's a good choice.

42% on Metacritic. In the words of Nicky Santoro NBC could fuck up a cup of coffee.
