Thought Jean was coming back to kick start the X-Men vs. Avengers storyline? Or is that going to be Hope still? OR IS HOPE REALLY JEAN!?! Cable took care of his mom as an infant!?! Did he have sex with her!?!
So edible.
Oh wait, the correct answer is: who gives a fuck about superhero comics continuity?
Warner Bros. shuts down production on 'Akira’
Jan. 5, 2012, 5:35 PM EST By Joshua L. Weinstein TheWrap
Warner Bros. has shut down production of “Akira,” its take on the Japanese manga hit, TheWrap has confirmed.
The studio said that producers and director Jaume Collet-Serra will spend the next few weeks trying to work out issues with the script. Bing:‘Carrie’ remake moving ahead
An individual close to the project told TheWrap that the studio still wants to make the movie, budgeted around $90 million. The problems appear to be related to – as these things tend to be – budget and casting.
The project has had a bumpy ride at Warner Bros. The studio had the rights to the movie, let them lapse and then snagged them again for a seven-figure sum in a 2008 bidding war.
Warner has attached three directors – Ruairi Robinson, Albert Hughes and, most recently, Collet-Serra – to the project. Discussion:Are remakes worth it?
The movie also has had a succession of writers. Gary Whitta was attached, then Albert Torres, then Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby and, most recently, Steve Kloves.
The original “Akira,” based on Katsuhiro Otomo’s revered six-volume graphic novel, is an enormously popular cult film and considered a landmark in Japanese animation.
Filmmakers have described “Akira” as “Blade Runner” meets “City of God.” The original was set in the post-World War III Japanese city of New Tokyo. A member of a biker gang finds himself the subject of a military project that goes grotesquely wrong.
In Warner’s incarnation, New Tokyo became New Manhattan.

I downloaded 2 games yesterday, Rage on my PC and Jetpack Jumper on the ipod. I played Rage for about 40 minutes. I played Jetpack Jumper for about 2 1/2 hours. Very sad.
They need to start infracting people for stupid. The fact that I have 3 infractions and hubcapsignstop doesn’t have any for all the stupid shit he says is a travesty.
