I would watch it. :)
Who on this board wouldn't?
Funny thing is the version of Dr. Mirage Acclaim had in mind would probably make a better script.
What were the differences?

There is a thread that talks about it around here somewhere that Justin made before he fell out of grace. He had the artwork and story for the Acclaim version of Dr. Mirage. It was actually a pretty cool idea and his wife played a very prominent role.

It's in the Valiant Art forum. Here's the thread, the art is gone. Maybe someone was smart enough to save the pics.

I hope someone does have it because it was some really nice stuff. Shame it's in the hands of a yo yo.

I agree, the art was top notch and I looked forward to seeing the rest. I regret not saving the pics to my computer now as I doubt we'll get to chance to see the stuff again.

If we were talking hypothetically establishment of a brand of movies (like DC and Marvel are doing now), then Shadowman seems the most obvious choice in terms of producing the requisite SFX and maybe not needing a Spidey/Supes level budget.

Now if we were talking TV, Timewalker is so obvious, or Geomancer (Clay I'm afraid).

Can't argue. The man's arguement is powerful and compelling. A picture truly says a thousand words...

If VALIANT's Shadowman gets a movie, they may have to call it something else. :roll:
Not necessarily, Derailed and Blown Away are 2 major Hollywood films that had a smaller movie with the exact same name.

Besides, how can they sue? Their lawyer would cost more that the entire flick. :wink:

I'm sure that the five or six people that watched the Steven Seagull Shadowman movie won't mind Valiant using the title.....

I think Shadowman could be a popular movie right now. Zombies seem to be really hot in movies at the moment,and what better movie to throw them in than Shadowman?

I think Turok would be the most likely candidate. I wonder if Hard Corps would make a good movie.

I dunno about a movie, but an Archer & Armstrong series (maybe on HBO or the like?) would be awesome...

I would love that !!! Actually it could be about the Eternal brothers and their lives throughout History. Kind of like the Black Adder meets Die Hard.

John Goodman would be Armstrong . . . . and I'm stuck . . . . I need more cast suggestions . . .
