12 Comic Book Film Adaptations Stuck In Development Hell
3. Aquaman
It's difficult to think of an Aquaman film nowadays without Entourage immediately springing to mind. Unfortunately for the King of Atlantis, attempts to bring him to the big screen in real-world Hollywood have been decidedly less successful than its fictional counterpart. Maybe someone should give James Cameron a call? Though he may be a little too busy with the next chapters of his "Dances with Space-Smurfs" saga. Much like the ecological symbiosis of the comic books, Aquaman is here dependent on his supra-terranean allies to determine the fate of his Atlantean kingdom. This is both a blessing and a curse, and sets up a similar situation to Dredd, whereby related properties are tied to the fate of another. Conversely like with Wonder Woman and Green Arrow, if Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and JLA prove to be hits, then assuming he will be a part of the JLA film, there is every chance an Aquaman solo film will eventually be produced.
As well as the odd article, I apply my "special mind" to scriptwriting for Comics, Films and Games... Oh and I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flow'rs, I put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.
