We sit down with comics historian, Andy Mangels, and discuss what might have been!
David Goyer, writer ofBlade,Batman Begins, andMan of Steel, wroteNick Furyfor FOX .
Of the others announced in the same ad Captain America,The Chameleon,Daredevil,Dr.
Amusingly, Hill-Obst did utilize Thor significantly the following year in theirAdventures in Babysitting.
These were all put into place by relatively new chairman Brandon Tartikoff.
Strange, as well asFlash Gordon(for producer Peter Guber).
The director is…Rod Hardy (ABCs recent20,000 Leagues Under The Sea).
In a pre-Blade 2interview withRevolution SF, Goyer discussed his thoughts on the project.
I wasnt on the set ofNick Furyat all, said Goyer.
I wrote the script a few years before the telefilm was shot.
At the time it did shoot, I was running my own short-lived series,Sleepwalkers.
I was also initially unenthused about Hasselhoffs involvement.
I think the film was pretty mediocre but Hasselhoff turned out to be the best thing in it.
He got the joke.
The script was meant to be very tongue in cheek and Hasselhoff understood that.
Well, thats what happens when your Nick Fury loses to reruns ofJAG.
Originally, they wanted me to doNick Furyat DreamWorks, and, then, the wholeBatmanthing happened.
I called Avi, and I said, Listen, theyve offered me Batman.
Ive got to do it.
And Avi said, No, you have to do it.
I suspect we would have seen things like Agent 13 or Scorpio or other SHIELD elements pop up.
