Lost in Translation: February News Round Up

Scott Delahunt
February 20, 2015
Lost in Translation

Marvel Comics had several big announcements since the last news round up.  Let’s get to what’s being adapted and by whom.

Marvel and Sony come to a deal over Spider-Man.
Spider-Man is moving into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, joining the likes of the Avengers.  Sony Pictures still has the rights to create movies with the character, but the deal should allow Marvel to use elements from the Spider-Man comics such as the Daily Bugle in its own releases.  Marvel has shuffled its release schedule to bring the next Spider-Man movie out without competing with the Marvel Studios releases.

X-Men TV series in the works.
Fox has confirmed an X-Men TV series is in development, pending Marvel’s approval.  Little of what the series would entail has been revealed.

Casting for AKA Jessica Jones announced.
David Tennant joins the cast as the villainous Zebediah Killgrave, also known as the Purple Man.  Tennant joins Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones and Mike Colter as Luke Cage.

Who you gonna call?
Meet the new Ghostbusters for the gender-flipped remake.  Melissa McCarthy has signed on while negotiations with Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon are ongoing.

Fushigi Yuugi gets stage treatment.
The manga and anime, Fushigi Yuugi is making the transition over to the stage.  Fushigi Yuugi, which translates as Mysterious Play, follows the adventures of Miaka as she falls into another world filled with magic and danger.

Indiana Jones reboot may be in works.
Disney bought the rights to the Indiana Jones franchise and are looking at Chris Pratt as the eponymous hero.  Pratt is going to be busy…

Chris Pratt in talks for The Magnificent Seven remake.
The remake of The Seven Samurai is being remade.  Denzel Washington has already signed on for the remake.

Harper Lee releasing a follow up to To Kill a Mockingbird.
The sequel, Go Set a Watchman, features Scout Finch as an adult.  The novel had been written during the 1950s, but was set aside on the advise of Lee’s editor at the time.  The new novel will hit bookstores mid-July.

LEGO announces next licensed set, featuring Doctor Who.
Everything is more awesome in LEGOland as the Doctor and his companions join the massive LEGO line up.  The project just left the judging phase, so it may take some time before the LEGO TARDIS hits the shelves.  Also announced, a LEGO Wall-E set, with the submission made by one of the movie’s crew members.

Stargate reboot movie signs writers.
Roland Emmerich’s reboot/remake of the original Stargate movie has signed Nicholas Wright and James A. Woods as screenwriters.  Emmerich will direct and co-produce, along with original co-writer Dean Devlin.

The Man from UNCLE trailer now out.
The first look at Guy Ritchie’s take on the TV series, The Man from UNCLE, is now out.  The movie stars Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo, originally played by Robert Vaughn and should be out in August.  Armie Hammer is on board as Illya Kuryakin, previously played by David McCallum.
