Haven't heard a thing on it, though Johnson's seeming turn toward kiddie-fare may have sunk it. And I personally don't see him as Captain Marvel. The Big Red Cheese is also as White as Wonder Bread. Johnson's note-perfect as Black Adam, though, and the role could even be tweaked to reflect the heroic turn the character took in "52", if the bad-guy image troubles Johnson.
"If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in bloody hell hired the director?" -- Charles L Grant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQUxw9aUVik To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com From: hellomahog...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 11:30:29 -0800 Subject: [scifinoir2] Fwd: Shazam! The movie I wrote this almost 2 years ago. Does anyone know what happened to his movie? Dwayne Johnson, who you will all remember as The Rock, is up for the title role in Shazam! It is expected that Rocky will play Captain Marvel, the outpouring of Billy Batson's superego, who appears when the teenager shouts out 'Shazam!' Johnson confirmed that he's been approached by Peter Segal, the film's director, about playing the part, and he's very interested in doing it. We can see it now. The thunderclap, the smoke clears, and The Rock is standing there, clad in red and gold, cape blowing in the breeze. He cocks the famous eyebrow, and bellows, 'Finally...the Captain Marvel has come back from the negative zone!' And then he rock bottoms some villain. It'll be awesome. -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
