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 :lol: Gotta get those 80's synth keyboards out for the soundtrack!

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I was thinking of :D

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

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.

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.

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