Dr. Strange movie in the works!
from Iwatchstuff.com;
With nearly a year having passed since they paid all kinds of dollars for the rights to Marvel's cast of funny-named characters with powers, Disney isn't about to waste any more time sitting on that vast tighted men catalog while other studios keep cranking out Ghost Rider movies just so they won't lose the rights. Deadline reports Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, whose work we'll next get to evaluate in the storytelling of Conan, have been hired to write a screenplay based on the adventures of Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange. In the comics, Strange was a talented, egocentric surgeon whose dexterous hands are injured in a car accident; searching for a cure in the Himalayas--where all the best cures are usually found--he encounters a man who trains him in the ways of magics, eventually leading to his dressing flamboyantly and becoming best sorcerer. Studio executives are probably already enthusiastically describing it as "Iron Man meets Harry Potter, but with the gritty realism of Dark Knight," because holy cats doesn't that sound like something that would make a lot of money?

I saw the marvel animated movie... I thought Stephen Strange was a much more interesting character than Dr. Strange. | |

This will be really hard to write without it turning cheesy.

Flash and Aquaman also doesn't know who he is |

Anyway. I hope they make it a legit horror film. He's not a family friendly action fantasy character. He allows himself to be posessed by demons to fight worse demons, he makes ritual sacrifices and deals with otherworldly spirits. I really hope they go the Blade route (which reinvigorated the genre) and go for a hard R rating. People will still show up, as that movie demonstrated. MY COVER OF PRETTY WINGS

Cool, I guess. Never was a huge Dr. Strange fan, but I'll go see pretty much any comic-based movie, and I have this hope that all these Marvel movies will somehow inspire DC to work out its assorted copyright messes and get some more movies made.
