An interview just popped up online in which writer/director Edgar Wright (Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz), spills a little bit of info regarding his upcoming adaptation of Marvel’s Ant-Man. In the interview, he touches on how they will be tackling the tone, since the source material was more comedic in nature. He compares his take on the superhero to that of the recently released Iron Man, which is a good thing. He’s been able to successfully take on the zombie genre and the cop genre without flinching. I don’t think the superhero genre should be a problem for him. Check out the rest of the interview at the link below.

Thanks for linking to my blog on the Edgar Wright interview. It’s difficult to say if Ant-Man will be a success - the technology is definitely at a stage to make it happen though. I told a girl at work about Ant-Man and she burst out laughing, so it might have a way to go at convincing the mainstream. If Marvel want Ant-Man in the Avengers, then I guess they will go ahead with a solo movie first. I also want Scarlet Witch in the Avengers, but wonder if that will happen, unless she gets introduced in the proposed Magneto movie.

I agree, but I would really like to see this movie happen with Edgar Wright directing. I think the style of this comic book fits his very well and if marketed correctly, I think you could have Hellboy-like success.

lol a number of the opinions bloggers make are a bit spacey, time after time i think about whether they in actual fact read the documents and content before writing a comment or whether they merely skim the title of the blog post and prepare the first thought that comes to mind. at any rate, it’s pleasurable to read through smart commentary occasionally rather than the exact same, classic post vomit that i continually notice on the internet i’m going to take up a couple of rounds of zynga poker regards
