Three Reasons to Make a Starjammers Movie (article)

Post by greg »

This guy on Yahoo Voices is saying what I've been thinking of ever since I've heard of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy --- for Fox to make a Starjammers movie to tie-in with their X-Men licensing!

Before or after they acquire Time Warner?

Still waiting for Japanese film companies to commit to much more long term planning and international thinking when it comes to film production. I may be dead before it happens though...

Does Fox also have the rights to Starjammers as well?

Starjammers is a part of the X-Men franchise since it is a spin off, so by all rights they should have the property license to any spin off series such as Generation X, X-Factor, X-Force and such. They're going to make a stand alone Gambit movie, and such. There's nothing to stop them from making a Cable or a Deadpool movie, either (the latter was rumored to have one, but I don't know about that anymore).

Good timing on this article - I remember reading a bit of Starjammers when I was younger and really enjoying it. Had been considering searching around for it and reading it a bit again. Some of that was prompted by Guardians of the Galaxy advertising; I never read Guardians and even now still have a pretty foggy memory of it, maybe seeing it on a shelf at a comic book store or something. Don't really have any desire to see it. But Starjammers, I would be interested in checking out.

Sucks other countries in the region already have it. I'll probably see it 2 or 3 times. I remember waiting like six months for Avengers and I saw it like 5 times.
