Movies Dragonlord's Movie Adaptation Vol. 2: OLD MAN LOGAN (Fox Reads Sherdog)

[SingerAuto]

This is fucking awesome man, just incredible. I willdef be keeping up with this thread.

 

[Organic Damage]

I don't know what Fox is planning but I seriously doubt it'll be anywhere near as good as this.

I especially like the casting.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Thanks everybody. Wasn't sure what the reception would be like when I logged in.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Awesome. The music was perfect and I like the adaptations to fit the Fox Universe.
I was worried about Blob being the climax, but the fade to black solved that nicely.
Great casting per usual.

Thanks, man. The Blob finale was originally part of the story. I first made a truncated OML story but when I expanded it to add a lot of the details, I felt it might have been too much to add The Blob final fight. I feel like audience might complain that the movie will be overlong and suffer from having two climaxes. I also felt this way (like it should have ended after the Red Skull fight) when I originally reading OML. From a studio/business perspective, it's a good move also making a sequel.

We needed to see Wolverine vs. Hulk in the comic because otherwise we would have figured stalemate or Hulk wins.
With the Blob, it goes without saying that Logan with that look in his eye fucks Blob up. And yes, its a better opening for a sequel.

First Impression

Replacing the Red Skull with Doom is a smart move. Apart from the issue of the Skull being owned by Marvel, it's way past time Doom had a move worthy of him. The only thing I don't like is the manner of his death; Doom has no Super Powers beyond his Superhuman intellect, so a "Cure" wouldn't effect him. In close combat, Doom relies on his Armour, which gives him Superhuman Strength, his Magical abilities - which are second only to Dr Strange - and his Martial Arts skills. Even when not wearing his Armour, Victor is a highly formidable hand to hand combatant. He once killed a lion with a single blow.

I knew somebody would bring up Doom's "powers." You have to also consider that this is Fox's version of Doctor Doom. In both the movie versions of Doom, his powers come from within. I decided to stick with the same formula so that The Cure will be meaningful in the end.

Oh shoot, I forgot to edit something. Remy was supposed to give Logan one vial of The Cure in case he needs it for himself. That one vial was later used to stab Doom's eye. I'll change it later.

I'd suggest Wolverine taunting Victor by calling him a coward who, "Hides his ugly face behind a mask." By this point in the fight, Logan is already on his last legs, or so Doom thinks. In his arrogance, he removes his face mask. He moves close to Wolverine, is about to deliver the killing blow - then Logan stabs him with a shard of broken glass from one the trophy cases. Victor is seriously wounded and Logan finishes him off by strangling him with Mr Fantastic's arms.

Thanks for the suggestion.

To be honest, I don't really think the whole idea of a Mutant Cure works that well. I think it should be the reverse: a retro-virus that actually turns Humans into Mutates with Superhuman Powers. That would be more valuable to the Resistance as it would allow them to build their own Superpowered army.

The Cure is one of my ways to give this movie some interconnection with the past X-Men movies.

Your version of Logan killing the X Men is actually an improvement on the original story. I never liked the idea of a B Lister like Mysterio being able to manipulate Logan into killing his friends. I prefer the idea of heavyweight Telepaths like Cassandra Nova and Mastermind being the source of the illusions.

Yeah, I made sure that it took all three illusionist/telepaths to screw up Wolverine's senses.

I also like the Blob and his family as Logan's landlords. In the Ultimate Universe, the Blob is a cannibal, and you could use that here, with a scene that implies that Logan's family was not only killed but eaten.

Implied or not, Logan's family being eaten is too morbid for me.

I love the idea of Gambit being in this movie and again, replacing Hawkeye with him, although it's born of necessity, is actually an improvement on the source material. I'd still keep the scene where his daughter demonstrates her superhuman strength by decapitating the Wizard by hitting him with the shotgun stock.

Ashley has super powers, I just didn't put much details on that and how she killed the new Wizard.

The shout-outs to Angel, Rachel, Ice Man and especially Storm are very well done. If filmed right, the ice statues scene would be visually stunning.

Glad you liked it.

The Fantasticar scene would bring the feels. I think it should end with Logan giving Reme a Viking's funeral. He set's fire to the car with Reme's corpse sitting in it. We can either show him silently watching the flames consume his friend, or walking away, with the car burning behind him. At night, of course, for maximum effect.

My plan was to use the same thing they did in the book which was used the Fantasticar to blow up the Blob Gang.

Oh, and that music? Straight in the Feels, man.

Thanks. I spent hours trying to find the right music. There were a few other soundtracks that were pretty good. In the end, Johnny Cash's "Hurt" was too perfect.

 

[KnightTemplar]

The sequel would start with Wolverine slaughtering the Blob Clan. That done, he decides to go after the remaining Super Villains, in order to free what's left of America. This brings him into conflict with, among others, Gambit's daughter, Ashlee. Logan is torn between his desire to wipe out the Super Villains and his reluctance to kill his old friend's daughter.

Doom is one of the GOAT Super Villains - his appearance was one of the inspirations for Darth Vader himself - but every version of him on screen makes me feel like someone just took a huge shit on my eyeballs. I love the idea of Doom as the Big Bad in OML, but go with the Comic version, not the Fox shit-fests.

It's your movie of course, but I wouldn't bother using the Cure as a connection to the other X Movies. It only really links to Last Stand, which is the weakest of all the Mutant films.

Actually, Blob versus Wolverine is reserved as the final fight for my sequel. It's a revenge story with Wolverine killing his way to the top. But along the way there are detours, new characters, new allies, new threats (one of them will be Doom's people seeking revenge). But I can also see your idea working also.

Then open with Blob already dead. Nobody wants to see that shit

The part where Logan is going after the other super villains and liberate the US is reserved for Part 3 in my mind. But if I decide to go with the Blob fight at the beginning, then your ideas would be great as well.

Yeah I know. You have to also consider that King Doom in OML is not prime Doom.

This could even work as a trilogy; you mentioned that the Wizard took over Juggernaut's territory after he, quote, "mysteriously disappeared". The sequel could end with Logan finally getting revenge on Blob. In the process he's brought down the entire Super Villain system. All across America, people are rising up against the monsters who have kept them in thrall for so long. Wolverine thinks that maybe, just maybe, he can help rebuild America into what it was before the Super Villains took over...

And then Juggernaut suddenly re-appears. Stronger and meaner than ever. Not the lame Vinnie Jones version, but the unstoppable force from the Comics. And this time, he wants it all. America will bow to him, or he will remake it as the biggest mass grave in history. Logan, his friends and allies, even the surviving Super Villains, have to work together to find a way to stop the Juggernaut...

Not a bad idea if I went with that route.

I also inserted this paragraph when Remy meets the resistance group:

Remy gives one vial of the Cure to Logan in case he wants to grow old with his wife and family. Logan looks at Remy and it's unspoken but understood that the other reason for Remy giving Logan the Cure is so he can finally die in the near future and put all the pain, suffering and the memory of what he did behind him.

 

[Jesus X]

sounds like a cool adventure,well thought out and executed.

the last wolverine film looks like it was written by someone in middle school compared to this.

I like your casting.

I don't like the bike gang being called the reavers, reavers are associated with firefly strongly.

 

[MadSquabbles500]

That is a really good screenplay, but why you posted it here? Are you not afraid someone steal your ideas? It is a pretty cut throat industry, and is known or rumored that many ideas are stolen.

And for the visuals, and action, that you need for your screenplay, you need none other than Zac Snyder. See his work with 300, Watchmen, and of course Batman Vs Superman Dawn of Justice. No other director comes close when it comes to bringing the comic book pages to screen.

 

[Jesus X]

i guarantee this is better than whatever they come up with

I agree
