Ant-Man Movie in Development
Ok, now everyone knows that I'm a fan of the Superhero Genre of films... but this is one I think they should just pass on. Hollywood North gives us this:
Marvel Studios' Ant-Man is currently in script development as a major motion picture. The character, bio-scientist 'Dr. Henry Pym', debuted in Marvel Comics' "Tales To Astonish" #27 (1962), as “The Man in the Ant Hill”, who discovers a liquid that evaporates into a gas, reducing a man to the size of an insect.Ummm... can you say "running out of ideas"? This one makes me real nervous. I hope they can it before it gets too far.Inhaling the fumes Pym shrinks in size, scurries along the floor and soon finds himself trapped in an ant hill. Eventually he returns to his normal size, deems the formula too unpredictable and locks it away. In "Tales To Astonish" #35, Marvel editor Stan "The Man" Lee re-introduced Pym as the superhero Ant-Man, able to shrink to the size of an ant, while retaining his full-size strength.

I am a big fan of comic book super hero movie and my first instinct was bad idea. I never was a fan of Antman/henry Pim/whateverelse he was called, but if they do make an Antman movie, and make it based on the story from Astonishing Tales, then I think it might work. On second thought, all I can think of is those kids from Honey I Shrunk The Kids riding their pet ant.

Now in reference to spider man episode 4:19 introduction of character; Antman. He was portrayed as a result of catalistic mutilation from a bio-chemical substance......however spider-man episode 5:7 he was depicted as his predeccesor mr.pym. The order and timeline of events was not linear or displayed in a chronoligical order, THIS IS A TRAVISITY and i believe marvel comics should release an amendend comic to clear up the any misconseptions bred from there mistakes....i am a true believer in the spirit of antman...and would like to further my knowledge of his secret powers and weaknesses (so far we only know of chemicals that attack the central nervous system; baygon, raid concentrates)

As big a Marvel fan boy as I am, I just can't see this one working. Avi really should concentrate on getting the big guns to the big screen instead of throwing every Marvel character into development. Ant-Man sounds as bad as the Man-Thing movie which is now slated for a direct-to-DVD release.
