From Variety: "After tackling giant robots, "Transformers" producer Tom DeSanto is turning his attention to superheroes, securing the rights to NCsoft and Cryptic Studio's vidgame "City of Heroes."
Plan is to adapt the massively multiplayer online role-playing game into a live-action feature and then transition it to television in some form." Videogame movies suck! |

'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.

Will the TV season feature fifteen-minute episodes at first, and by about episode 35 clock in at an hour?

I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

COH probably lends itself more to this than most games.
I always rather suspected that some of the CoH team rather wished they were making films or comics.
Certainly CoH has at least thirty metric butt-tonnes of lore (most of which is utterly superfluous to the game).
Of course, yes, I'm sure it will suck anyway.

It could be done well.
It won't be.

In an interview on G4 (or whatever - I'm an ignorant foreigner) Desanto commented that he sees a CoH movie trilogy.
Which makes sense, because that's how modern franchise blockbusters are being made. One film isn't enough.

If it doesn't contain "The Flaming Hulk" (sadly renamed 'Generic_Superhero_3934343" or whatever they do), "Jesus Christ", and "Deus Ex Machina" I'm not going to play. Any CoH movie should be based on characters I found amusing. :) Although I suspect there will be many women with unbelievably odd proportions wearing very little. And a lot of Goth Schoolgirl defenders. |

I hope they go the route of the Tick. Jersey Girl would make a perfect cameo roll. It's probably too silly for what they want though.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I love my TV an' hug my TV an' call it 'George'.

Bring back Captain A-Hole, bitches.
Man I loved that character, his costume was PERFECT. A lot of people took screenshots of me before I got deleted. Half the people thought it was funny and a great costume, half the people blew a gasket because his name was evocative of a curse-word and he wore a Marvel costume. It was an entertaining albeit short existence.
