Lots of comic movie news so I thought I’d put it in one post

Bitter Lex?
IGN Comics posted this little nugget from a Wizard Mag

Spacey takes over the role from another two-time Oscar winner, Gene Hackman, who played Luthor in the Christopher Reeve films.

“To me, it’s one of those great, iconic parts,” Spacey informed Wizard during a set visit to Sydney, Australia. “(Director Bryan Singer’s) been very attentive and respectful to the genre and what the fan base really wants, but he also brings a new direction to the character and how people deal with each other. This film is a much darker Lex than the Gene Hackman character. This is a bitter Lex. This is a Lex after a long time in prison. But there’s still a lot of humor to it.”

I’m glad we’ll have a darker Lex, thats one of the things I like so much about Smallville is the evil Lex comes out now and then.

Ghost Rider Revealed Today!
SHH had this to say:

Columbia Pictures will launch the first reveal of Ghost Rider on Tuesday (Dec. 20) at 12:00pm (noon) PST! The studio will update the film’s official website at GhostRider-Movie.com with a 10 second piece in which you’ll see the blazing Ghost Rider for the first time. The Flash animation of the Ghost Rider will also be worth checking out.

Watchmen a WB movie
SHH is reporting that the WB has the rights to the Watchmen movie. I really really hope they don’t make this into a catwoman-like movie.
