Arad to Captain new Superhero movie

Posted by on Feb 15, 2006 | 5 Comments

Well now, it seems that we can expect to see more super heroes coming to the silver screen. But this time it will not a web-head or the Fantastic Four. No, this time we will see the one and only Capt. America! coming out of the comic books and into the theaters!

The next big masked hero to invade a mesh screen will be Captain America, it seems.

Avi Arad, the zillionaire Marvel magnate in charge of such properties as “Spider-Man” and “X-Men”, tells that the all-round American hero will be fronting his own movie in the very near future.

The new “Captain America” movie won’t be the first time the shield-gripping superhero has been the subject of a film. A direct-to-video offering surfaced in 1991 that starred unknown Matt Salinger as Capt. America/Steve Rogers, “Robocop” fave Ronny Cox as President Tom Kimball and Scott Paulin (“Teen Wolf”) as The Red Skull.

Arad says with recent events in history, it’s the perfect time to bring the patriotic hero back to the screen.

It’s the “perfect time in history” to raise the Cap flag again, Arad tells ASAP. [Read the rest]

    Nice concept, but putting some privacy into the app would be far better; i.e. allow users to select specific folders, or only photo’s taken via the app.

    They’re trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. And trying to change my behavior instead of enhance it.

    - If I want friends to see my pictures, I post them to Facebook.

    - If I want the world (or my “elastic network”) to see my pictures, I post them to Twitter.

    I can’t think of a reason I would want random other people near me on the street or in a restaurant to see the picture I just took. The only possible answer – bragging rights. Like “hey, I just took the best angle of that home run that 5000 of you also took!” Um, who cares?

    I also don’t need any more deal sites or coupons. I’m already bored with Groupon and LivingSocial.

    And yeah, the ability to see all of my photos on my phone is simply a no-go.

    I hate to be so negative. I am though, because I see Color as a symptom of a greater problem – it appears our industry has not learned the lessons of the past and are doomed to repeat.

    I don’t think you get it.

    The only photos of mine that get shared with you are those taken when you were in the vicinity, which means you would have been able to see said “shenanigans” with your own eyes. And nothing forces me to always use Color when taking photos. I’d only use it exactly when I want to share photos with the people around me also sharing photos.

      In my testing that doesn’t seem to be accurate. Photos taken one one device far away from another device (with color, in their own group) are available as a group to join on the 2nd device once the two devices are brought into proximity.

    I couldn’t agree more with you. Some of the scenarios I’ve read where Color “adds value” aren’t just creepy, they are plain wrong.

    If people start using Color (and therefore their phones) in restaurants then that ruins my experience. Have we reached a point yet where enough is enough in terms of gadget-augmented-life?

    Anyway, great article, I’ve just linked to you from my post on this very subject!
