Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
I'd like to see the Bloodshot film made in a really authentic typical 80's action film style, like a 'the replacement killers', or Rambo, or that sort of thing
Gotta get those 80's synth keyboards out for the soundtrack!

Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
Agreed! Bloodshot is really a send up to those 80s action flick muscle bound heroes. I'm thinking something along the lines of Predator or Commando. Obviously with more substance, but you get the idea.Shadowman99 wrote:I'd like to see the Bloodshot film made in a really authentic typical 80's action film style, like a 'the replacement killers', or Rambo, or that sort of thingGotta get those 80's synth keyboards out for the soundtrack!

Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
I think of Bloodshot as a GREAT Science Fiction character foremost
I wouldn't want it to devolve into a simple, empty headed action flick
A balance between mind bending, ethics probing, character driven scifi fantasy and over the top gore-fest violence
Frankenstein meets bladerunner meets hard boiled

Something along the lines of Johnny Pneumonic?bygranddesign wrote:I think of Bloodshot as a GREAT Science Fiction character foremost

And your pitch sounds awesome, although, I would revise it to say Frankenstein meets Bladerunner meets any of Beat Takeshi Kitano's Yukaza films (Hana-Bi/Sonatine/Boiling Point). I think the gritty realism would be a better mix than the more theatrical Woo.
By the way, Kitano would make a pretty great Harada.

Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
It's gotta have that over the top action though. Lets not forget Bloodshot is an action book. But I agree as a character he is interesting in exploring various science fiction themes.bygranddesign wrote:I think of Bloodshot as a GREAT Science Fiction character foremost

Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
I wonder what they would use as material for the Bloodshot movie? It would have to be self contained enough and not assume a sequel. Do you actually show the origin that is covered in #0? Do you start where issue #1 started and fill in gaps later? Or show a few 5-10 minute missions in a row... seemingly contradictory because of the different names/wives/kids/etc and then take him into the reveal in issue #1? No, that would lessen the reveal. Just cover the material in issues #1-4 and leave it set up to go after PRS in the second movie? Or do they actually go the Marvel route and plan to craft interlocking movies as well? Do 1 or 2 Bloodshot movies and 1 or 2 Harbinger movies depending on wether or not you do 1 or 2 of the first story arcs in each film), then do Harbinger Wars?

But unlike bygranddesign, I'd totally be up for Bloodshot being one of those empty-headed cave-browed muscle flicks!

Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
I'd love to see Bloodshot have a combination between the tone of Alien (Ridley Scott) and Aliens (Cameron). Not necessarily the same theme, but the tone of those movies would both work really well for Bloodshot.Shadowman99 wrote:Yeah, that's the sort of thing I was thinking ofCallMeBloodshot wrote:Agreed!

Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
It sounds like all the movie deals so far are going to separate studios so I doubt they will exist within the same film universe. Just like the film versions of X-Men and Avengers and Spider-Man are all in different universes.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Re: Great interview with Dinesh plus movie info
That kind of sucks because it looks like the first 4 titles (X-O, Harbinger, Bloodshot, and A&A) are developing a Game of Thrones-esqu feel. That is, many characters with their own separate storylines that cross over as part of a larger story on occasion. If you look at PRS vs. Harada as the larger story, Valiant is doing this in a way that other companies don't.Heath wrote:It sounds like all the movie deals so far are going to separate studios so I doubt they will exist within the same film universe.

If you're not a *SQUEE*, you're okay with me.
