Reports Deadline.com, "Legendary Television is in negotiations with Warner Bros. Television for a deal whose terms are still being worked out. It would be an extension to Legendary's 7-year co-financing pact with Warner Bros. on the feature side. Legendary's approach to TV is expected to mirror their film strategy of developing broad projects with a focus on the fanboy/male demographic. Just like Warner Bros. Pictures has been mining DC Comics properties for film, several of them with Legendary (Superman Returns, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Jonah Hex) WBTV has been doing so for TV.

"...In addition to TV, Legendary, which was launched in 2004, is also currently expanding into gaming and digital media. Additionally, the company is launching Legendary Comics, a graphic novel imprint. Legendary, which released 4 movies in 2010, Clash of the Titans, Inception, The Town and Due Date, has 2 films coming up this year, Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch and Todd Phillips' Hangover 2."

The implication is that we could very well get an adaptation of Sucker Punch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Legendary is also tackling the Mass Effect movie adaptation as well. Potential to be the first truly awesome game----> movie adaptation. :)

I am thrilled with the idea of more comic TV and films, BUT they still need to stop lagging on WONDER WOMAN. She is a project LONG overdue for an upgrade. I mean, DC/WB is notorious for only putting effort behind Superman (every decade since the 40s has seen some new incarnation of Supes on film) and Batman (every decade since the 60s). They have barely touched on the other characters, and the WONDER WOMAN series was one of the fastest to DVD I have seen. All 3 sets were releazsed within a year first to last. Usually you get a year to wait on the next season, some shows 2 or more years before they release a second or third season. Obviously there is a market for her, so why do they keep ignoring her?
