Spider-Woman hollywood movie?

[Rheged]

Red and yellow spandex, black and blue shimmering hair, tits and ass, Jessica Drew, Venom Blasts, Avengers tie in, Gliding on air currents.... anyone else think this film would kick ass?

'Spider-Woman' how could that not make money?
Do you think it will ever happen?

I'm sure Spider-Woman's tits and ass would make some money in a porn film, but I'm not particularly interested in seeing that made.

And people wonder why it is so hard to get women interested in comics?

I think I a superheroine movie could work, but the margin for error is much smaller. You are already putting 80% of your customer base on guard (Straight males with no wish fufillment investment in the characters) so the end product has to be that much more above reproach it to have a shot. That is a huge risk to take when there is a 100+ million dollars on the line and less riskier properties available.

I was not referring to nude scenes LOL (they would be out of place in a superhero film), I was just describing the visual characteristics of Spider-Woman. Namely- the costume, the hair and the body.

Anyway rights issues aside, this character has more than enough of a good back story to create a decent film. And I think just the name alone would create enough buzz/curiosity to bring in a good chunk of people who perhaps never even knew she existed.

Really? Do you describe the visual characteristics of Spider Man by talking about his cock and ass? If you were trying to get your mother or your sister or your daughter or your girl friends / wife to go see a Spider Woman movie, would you use the words tits and ass?

You kind of have the opposite ends of this here.

The visual is just about the last reason any character should be turned into a movie. It always changes radically once you bring real human beings (as opposed to drawings) into the mix. The first thing that goes away is the spandex, afterall. Real human beings look pretty silly in the spandex bodysuits. You can't make a movie on the basis of, "She's hot." That turns it into objectification instead of characterization... and good characterization is a pretty key component to a good movie.

But you are right. She does have an interesting story. That's really the only part that matters.

i'd rather a story about jessica as an espionage agent who just happens to have creepy spider powers.

By comics, I assume that you mean superhero comics. Right? Superhero comics are essentially violent and weird. Most women aren't interested in things that are violent and weird. But comics can be about anything, and there are a lot of women buying Japanese comics (aka manga) because the subject matter of those comics is more interesting to them than superheroes. I've introduced some women to Vertigo comics, and they tend to like those better than superhero stuff.

Personally, I would want to see Ms. Marvel before Spider-Woman. You can do some high speed crazy flying action sequences.

[Rimmer]

Bollywood Superman with Spider-Woman. If you think thats crazy wait till you see Turkish Captain America where the main villain is Spider-Man.

Oh my, I almost spit out my drink with that one!

What he meant was that while there have been some superhero movies that were bad, there have also been several that were quite good.

On the flipside, I honestly can't think of any (major comic book) super heroine movies that have actually been good.

To be fair, how many comic book films are there that have a male lead? 300 or so? How many that have a female lead? 2 or 3. That's not enough to make a sweeping generalisation over whether superheroines can be successful or not in movies.

[Red Mask]

If there would be a film, who would be the antagonist? What justifies her wearing her costume in fighting them?

You're right. It's not. However, it doesn't stop Hollywod executives from doing it.

If you go by her backstory, I guess it'd have to be HYDRA. Child of terrorists rising up and fighting against them?

[Bingo!]

I would love either, but I believe Carol Danvers has already been selected for the Alias tv show. Supposedly, there will be no mixing of film and movie properties. I hope that's not true.

That is the best way to introduce her: Jessica Drew, Agent of SHIELD.

Would you like her to have a British accent?
