>>79551981>official creative consultant / producer on FOX's Marvel propertiesHe got fired from FOX for saying they were going to be "filling in the blanks" in the MCU. Because of how credits work his name may still appear on certain things for some time, but don't count on it.
>can call up Matthew Vaughn any day / any time and get an adaptationThat's not how that works. Vaughn's a producer, not a studio. He doesn't have $30m of his own money to throw at a bad adaptation of a childish revenge fantasy.
Optioning a script or adaptation doesn't mean it's ever actually going to be produced, or that Millar is getting the headline fee of that option - when you option something, you're buying the right to make it, not agreeing to make it, and how much you actually end up paying depends on how far into production you get, what the idea was worth to you, and how far you beat the seller down.
>JohnsJohns has the advantage of not being an incomprehensible junkie asshole, whereas Morrison is full on Invisible Shield Protects Me all of the time. The moment you ask Morrison to clarify what he's saying he starts rambling on about any old shit.
>>79552136Millar jumped the gun. You don't announce options unless you know it's going ahead right away.
It's often the case that studios buy scripts and concepts that are similar to other things they're actually making, just to avoid potential lawsuits.
>>79552068The film itself hasn't even officially been confirmed. They're waiting for the public reaction to Affleck in the suit.
>>79552049Because he didn't want them to be made at all, and to be fair, they are a pretty shitty collection of movies that often fail to hit the mark and tell the story, or even understand the story, they were supposed to be telling. Different media will do that. I don't think anybody would want to see their name on that Constantine show.
