Lionsgate Picks up new Stan Lee Movie Project
Stan Lee is on a role! Lionsgate has acquired a new and original superhero property from Stan Lee and his POW! Entertainment. Smallville's Alfred Gough and Miles Millar will write, direct and produce the movie through their Millar/Gough Ink production company. Just yesterday Lee locked down Dan Gilroy (Real Steel) to adapt an original treatment of his called The Annihilator.
Of course no details have been revealed for the project yet, but it's being described as a "multigenerational superhero movie that spans several decades." Now that sounds like it could be interesting, I would really love to learn more about it! This could be a cool movie.
According to Variety, "The comicbook vet approached Gough and Millar with the superhero concept after becoming a fan of Smallville and collaborating with the two scribes on Spider-Man 2." The two writers are currently in the middle of producing the new Sylvester Stallone action film Bullet to the Head, which is based on the French graphic novel "Du Plomb Dans La Tete," for Warner Bros.
Do you think these new orignal Stan Lee projects are going to turn out being good?
