Geek Bytes: So Much More About the Punisher
Filed under: Fandom, Scripts, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
Geek news I found while packing spices for a weekend cooking trip:- Oh baby, is there a lot of news about The Punisher's extended DVD at Newsarama. Read it all here, but be warned, if you're a Marvel fan it is going to make you want to shell out some extra bucks for the DVD. I, personally, am very excited to have a look at it.
- For those among us who like reading novelizations for their favorite movies, you can pre-order your copy of Spider-Man 3, the movie novelization, at Amazon. The only movie novels I tend to read are the Star Wars ones, but I'm sure the Spidey books are fun, too.
- Guillermo Del Toro answers some questions at EW. In his fanboy dreams, he wants to cast Bruce Campbell for a role in Hellboy 2. While this is admittedly unlikely to ever occur (at least for more than a cameo), it still makes Del Toro all the more awesome.
- Neat looking storyboards from a deleted X3 scene. Really, they look like a lot of the rest of the movie -- cars flying through the air, people with shocked expressions on their faces, and things breaking into pieces. If I had to title the flick, I would have given it the same subtitle my friends and I bestowed on the X-Men: Legends video games ... X-Men 3: X-Men Break Your Stuff.
- Hey, Ghost Rider minimates are coming. These toys promise to "deliver all the action-packed excitement of the film with every 2 inch figure." I know that's supposed to suggest the figures will be packed with action, but I can't help but interpret it to say "there's so little action in this film, we could fit it in two inches."

The Spidey 3 novelization is being written by Peter David, the prolific comics writer. He'll probably be dumping lots of little Easter Eggs for fans to find.

Why couldn't Del Torro cast Bruce Campbell in a role in *Hellboy 2*? After all, Del Torro was able to coax the studio powers to cast Pearlman in the lead role after receiving protest from them over the subject.
Peter David rocks. Too bad the current production team of *Doctor Who* probably won't ever ask him to submit a script, despite the fact that he's a talented writer and a big fan [at least of the ClassicSeries] to boot.
Speaking of Peter David...can you imagine a cinematic adaptation of the "Sin Eater" storyline?
