I'm not holding my breath, but still, it would be fun - IF (and that's a really BIG if) whomever does it shows some respect for the source material (I HATED the George Pal film when it came out), and does a decent job with casting.

I've always thought Brendan Frasier, given about seven or eight more years, would make an ideal Doc, very close to the image Dent/Baumhoffer envisioned, IMO.

I'm not that into i09 either and the Tor blog has been good, but anyone can be good for a few days.

Give these a spin--they've been alright for quite a few days:

This was part of the planned series of movies, but I thought we were looking at more of a 2010 release date ...

I was SO totally a Doc savage fan when I was a kid. Doc Savage and the Addams Family. I used to buy 'em at the bookstore in Aurora Village.
