IRON MAN 2

THE SPIRIT
Sci Fi Wire has an interview with director Frank Miller about the Will Eisner adaptation. "At first, I approached Will Eisner like he was Raymond Chandler," Miller said, "and I then realized that he was O. Henry. He wrote very short stories, and it was a matter of adapting my favorite of his short stories and then expanding on them. My favorite of his short stories was a two-parter he did [on] Sand Saref, and I based the entire move on that. Then I extended it outward to involve his villain, the Octopus, and wonderful characters like Silken Floss and the new characters that I'd created, like Morgenstern [Stana Katic]. And, of course, Commissioner Dolan [Dan Lauria] had to be all through it."
Starring Gabriel Macht, release date: December 25, 2008.
GREEN LANTERN
Effects specialist Aaron Sims talked to VFX World about designing visuals for the film. "We're starting from the ground up on this one, and we're trying to be as contemporary as possible," he said. "The suits for the aliens are all different, but they're all green. They're overwhelmingly green. Defining the uniform green -- the proper shade -- is part of the process."
Directed by Greg Berlanti, release date 2010.
