See, to me Brooks is the perfect example of a second-rate series that got developed in the wake of LotR but that will never ever be produced as a series of tentpole films. Some sort of cut-rate miniseries on Sci-Fi Channel,
maybe...
Some of that other stuff could happen though. For instance,
Dragonheart is almost certain to happen, somewhere in the $30M range. There's an audience that can support fantasy at that price tag.

Yeah, it will be very interesting to see how
Watchmen fares. It's fascinating, though. We're starting to get into more and more of these postmodern takes on superheroes. I think the health of the trad superhero movie will be better revealed by the new
Wolverine movie and whether or not they're able to get a new
Spider-man film into production. From what I can tell there's no plans yet for a follow-up to
Superman Returns.
