I love the comment at the end of the article about Marvel starting out with a nine figure investment into their films back in 2005.

Just imagine where VEI could be in 10 years?!?

While the cash infusion is certainly welcome news, I have to wonder if there will be any kind of editorial pushback about certain themes and storylines. Remember the noise that was generated about Rai's 'Rising Sun' costume design?

In any event, great news. What with comic book based movies being as huge as they are, it was inevitable that someone would want one of the last unspoken-for superhero universe's in their stable of properties to be produced.

Comic Book Resources just went live with the news. The link is below.

They DO have a section where you can comment on how you feel about this breaking news so please go and post away.

I posted on the HR link, hopefully this is what will put VEIin the map of pop culture in general.

Archer & Armstrong will be the third Valiant title to be developed as a movie, following supernatural adventure series Shadowman—again developed in conjunction with the Sean Daniel Company, with J. Michael Straczynski scripting—and Bloodshot, which is set up at Sony with Matthew Vaughn attached and a script by Jeff Wadlow.

Could use some comments here as well, if we haven't worn you all out so far. This is HUGE and is generating a FANTASTIC amount of "buzz" around the comic community

[jmatt]

>>> DMG said that it invested "eight figures" in U.S. dollars toward the expansion and another "nine figures" toward producing films and television programs based on Valiant characters....

That's a lot of coin. I can hear Shooter and Layton warming up their lawyers from here.

>>> The statement said the companies will focus on Chinese language content to build iconic characters in China and the Asia Pacific.

Hmm, I wonder what the implications are. Are these funds only for developing content for the Asian market?

My fingers are on overdrive posting comments on this with twitter and on those sites
