Akiva Goldsmanfinally admitted it : Batman And Robinwas not his all right hr . But superhero buffs it was the most important motion picture in superhero history , and Goldsman is planning a wad of new moving-picture show about DC ’s heroes .
In an interesting interview with theLA Times , screenwriter / manufacturer Goldsman seems reluctant to trash his 1997 film , which almost ruined his career along with Lost In Space . But he does admit :
“ What got lost in ‘ Batman & Robin ’ is the emotion are n’t real , ” Goldsman said , pick his words carefully . “ The bad thing to do with a serious comic account book is to make it a cartoon . I ’m still answering for that movie with some hoi polloi . ”
But perhaps Kevin Feige , the president of production at Marvel Studios , explained B&R ’s significance better , “ That may be the most important comic - leger moving picture ever made … It was so bad that it ask a new way of doing things . It created the chance to do ‘ X - Men ’ and ‘ Spider - Man , ’ adaptations that respected the source material and adaptations that were not campy . ”
And he ’s catch a point : it did teach us all that there is a incorrect fashion and a right direction to make camp comic book picture . And if it made future risible book screenplay adapters more measured with how they limn this world , then that ’s one matter it has travel for it as well .
Interestingly the horrible failure of a film did n’t stop Goldsman from moving onward with his career and putting out the very successful A Beautiful Mind adaptation . And now that he ’s established his bona fides as a more serious author , go on to I Am Legend and writing / directing for Fringe , he ’s arrive back to DC Comics , working on a telephone number of upcoming projects .
Jonah Hex is wrapped , and Goldsman distinguish Josh Brolin ’s fictional character :
He ’s a character that has been delineate as give birth one foot on Earth and one foot beyond the tomb , that he mouth to the numb . . . at the same time he is very much [ like Sergio Leone ’s ] ‘ The Man With No Name . ’
Along with Jonah Hex Goldsman is still heavy at employment on The Losers and Lobo , the moving-picture show about the super powered blue - skin exotic biker . But most significantly , he ’s hard at employment on a newSwamp Thing :
Goldsman said will be closer in tone to the character as present in Alan Moore ’s eerie , metaphysical horror comics than the rubber - suit peat bog creature from the 1982 Wes Craven B - movie . “ We desire a cinema with real Southern , dark revulsion overtones , a little morsel like a classic Universal horror picture , ” Goldsman said , know full well that his presence on the labor will stir controversy — it ’s a character that filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has called one of the “ few remaining Holy Grails ” in comics .
But it ’s not just DC heroes in Goldsman ’s future — his heavy - screen directorial debut may be a version of A Winter ’s Tale , Mark Helprin ’s phantasy novel set in an alternative New York , with a stealer and a flying horse .
