Adaptations Valiant Comics diverses: films, séries, animation, jeux...

[Magda]

Il n'y a pas encore d'annonce de titre (mais je vais écrire une critique du jeux-vidéo Shadowland et de sa suite prochainement bientôt vu que je viens de les recommencer.)
Bref j'ouvre ce sujet pour toutes les productions Valiant a venir vu que durant le WonderCon 2015, monsieur Dinesh Shamdasani a fait des révèlations (d'ailleurs il y avait une interview sur Comicvine que j'ai vue ou il en faisait mention en disant que les films serait proches et pas pour 2020,) mais elle n'est plus présente donc je viens de faire la demande à un ami de la rédaction et à la rédaction directement pour savoir si cette interview serait de retour prochainement bientôt. Je vous tiens au courant.
Sinon après cette annonce:

	"Comic superheroes are profitable and highly sought intellectual properties for film franchises, said Dan Mintz, the chief executive officer of DMG, in a statement, “so taking a stake in the last independent massive comic universe is a strategic investment for DMG that will produce movies and TV that are both appealing and relevant to a global audience.”

Voilà un nouveau article avec prochainement une interview de la part du site:

	WC15: "Yes, We Can Guarantee a Valiant Film Will be Made" In an interview with CBR Executive Producer Jonah Weiland conducted this week at Wondercon, Valiant Entertainment CEO and Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani said in no uncertain terms that fans can expect Valiant movies in the future -- perhaps sooner than they think. Even with a recent nine-figure investment from DMG Entertainment to bring Valiant properties to film, Weiland noted that "it is Hollywood, though," and many promising projects never see the light of day. He asked Shamdasani point blank whether he could guarantee that a Valiant film would be made. “Yes, yes, we can guarantee a Valiant film will be made," Shamdasani said. To us, it’s not a question of will they be made, but when. And again it’s a question of quality." He compared the situation to the reemergence of Valiant as a publisher, noting that it took some time between the company reintegrating itself and the release of its first comic. "People asked us the same question: ‘will you publish comic books?’ Yes, we will publish comic books. ‘But you’re not publishing comic books.’ Because when we do they’re going to be the best damn comic books we can make. When we do the movies, they’re going to be the best damn movies we can make. We haven’t said much about them because we’re not the type of company that likes a lot of hype and hot air. We like to say, here’s what’s going to happen." He said, though, the information about "Bloodshot" being optioned by Sony leaked "and we had to catch up a little bit." Shamdasani added that "‘Bloodshot’ is much, much further along than people think; it will shock you how far along it is." "There is big news coming on ‘Harbinger,’ there is big news coming on ‘X-O Manowar.’ Other things have already leaked. We have things in the works that will turn people’s heads." Earlier in the interview, Shamdasani revealed that "Bob Layton’s going to be doing a little bit of work for us" in celebration of Valiant's 25th anniversary.

Je veux des séries, des films comme une série, comme je l'écris dans un autre sujet: Je suis trop contente, je rêve d'avoir un film d'horreur avec des personnages comme Shadowman, Punk Mambo ou le Dr. Mirage. Ce serait vraiment top. Une série serait aussi excellente, mais quelque chose de réellement hardcore, pas une série classique, mais une série qui ose le rentre dedans et vu que la boite de production a déjà fait quelques merveilles en terme de récits glauques, je suis confiante.
Pour le cinéma, je veux un film Harbinger, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait, s'il vous plait avec ma Faith Flamingo et Harada.
Je veux un film avec X-O Manowar digne d'un film Conan ou Riddick, une guerre total.... nyah il y a tellement de possibilité.
8 zéros le contrat quand même, donc je suis confiante, je suis confiante, maintenant il faut voir l'équipe de talent derrière les projets.

DMG a mis huit chiffres sur le chèque qu'ils ont fait pour Valiant et on peut dire qu'un tel chèque ce n'est pas tous les jours que cela arrive pour une petite maison d'édition (je veux dire par rapport à Marvel ou DC Comics par exemple,) le porte parole de DMG a dit en gros que le chèque servirait "à poursuivre ses efforts dans l'édition internationale, cinéma, télévision, licences et au-delà." Mais ce n'est pas tout. Le communiqué de presse annonçant le deal en était déjà à parler de certaines oeuvres en pleine production mettant en vedette des personnages courageux comme Bloodshot, Shadowman et Archer & Armstrong. L'objectif du partenariat entre Valiant et DMG est important en soit et va je pense beaucoup aider la maison d'édition, on peut dire en tout cas qu'ils sont confiants et moi aussi quand je lis ceci "plus grand univers de super-héros indépendants".

Certains d'entre eux ont déjà été en développement, comme le fait remarquer le communiqué de presse :

- BLOODSHOT from Sony Pictures in partnership with Original Film
- SHADOWMAN in partnership with the Sean Daniel Company from a script by J. Michael Straczynski
- ARCHER & ARMSTRONG, also with the Sean Daniel Company from a script by BenDavid Grabinski

En plus du marché américain et on peut dire international évidement, DMG, qui est basé en Chine, projette un énorme base de production pour la licence Valiant en Chine, et vu le nombre d'habitants et aussi le plaisir qu'ils ont avec les productions occidentales, c'est une très bonne idée

Certes, nous ne savons rien sur comment cela fonctionnera au final, qu'est ce qui sera bon ou pas, mais vu les propos des gens de chez Valiant j'ai totalement confiance en ce qui me concerne, oui je me répète . Cela dépend en fin de compte des scripts et des autres aspects créatifs comme les différents castings, chef op, réalisateurs et j'en passe. Je pense qu'il y aura des annonces pour le SDCC, ce serait une annonce incroyable et surtout avec une grande visibilité, je suis persuadée qu'elle sera fait durant ce festival et qu'on aura encore du teasing durant le C2C. Bon maintenant reste à voir qui va développer le tout et j'espère qu'on ne se retrouvera pas dans une situation comme Marvel aux débuts 2000. Nous verrons bien en tout cas, mais en tout cas je suis comme une folle après de telles annonces.

Voilà en tout cas un article intéressant parlant mieux que moi de tout cela:

(New York, NY and Beijing, China, March 9, 2015) – Valiant Entertainment – the award-winning comic book publisher with a library of more than 2,000 characters, including X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Harbinger, Shadowman, Archer & Armstrong, and more – and DMG Entertainment, the Beijing-based leader in global entertainment, today announced a new partnership to span motion pictures, television, publishing, and licensing that will culminate in the big screen debut of Valiant’s universe of characters in theaters around the world.

In conjunction with this new partnership, DMG has made an eight-figure (USD) series C round of equity investment into Valiant, which the company will use to further its efforts in international publishing, film, television, licensing and beyond. DMG has dedicated an additional nine-figures (USD) of film financing capital toward the production of theatrical films and television programs based on Valiant’s library of iconic superhero characters.

In total, the new agreement is the first deal of its kind brokered between an internationally based entertainment company and a leading independent publisher of comic books and graphic novels. Utilizing DMG’s expertise in international film development, production, and distribution, Valiant will begin to establish its cinematic universe in the United States, China and beyond. Current Valiant feature films in development include the previously announced BLOODSHOT from Sony Pictures in partnership with Original Film; SHADOWMAN in partnership with the Sean Daniel Company from a script by J. Michael Straczynski; and ARCHER & ARMSTRONG, also with the Sean Daniel Company from a script by BenDavid Grabinski; among others. Valiant has also already begun development on several television projects.

The unprecedented partnership between Valiant and DMG offers both companies the ability to develop and co-produce tent-pole theatrical films for distribution and release simultaneously in the United States, China – the world’s fastest growing film market with more than $4.8 billion in box office receipts in 2014 – and the rest of the world.

“Global markets, like China, offer the greatest opportunities for monetization from merchandising, licensing, as well as revenues from film and television properties. Comic superheroes are the most lucrative and sought after IP for movie franchises, so taking a stake in the last independent massive comic universe is a strategic investment for DMG that will produce movies and TV that are both appealing and relevant to a global audience,” said DMG CEO Dan Mintz. “We are excited by the opportunity to bring these incredibly engaging characters and their stories to the big screen.”

Beyond film alone, DMG and Valiant will work in concert to form China-focused licensing partnerships for Valiant’s stable of characters in areas such as Chinese language publishing, animation, online gaming, toys, apparel, live events, theme parks, and more, with a focus on bringing Valiant’s iconic heroes to new audiences in China and Asia-Pacific.

DMG Entertainment has a proven track record of introducing celebrated superheroes to the Chinese/international marketplace. In 2013, the Beijing-based studio and production company co-produced and co-financed Marvel Studios’ IRON MAN 3 – the highest grossing foreign film of 2013 and sixth highest of all time in China*. DMG is currently co-producing high-octane thriller AUTOBAHN, starring Anthony Hopkins, Ben Kingsley, Felicity Jones and Nicholas Hoult; and the extreme actioner POINT BREAK, directed by Ericson Core; both films will hit screens worldwide in 2015.

“Valiant’s iconic stable of intellectual property and world class management team coupled with DMG’s unmatched skill with entertainment brand building in China make a formidable partnership,” said Valiant Chairman Peter Cuneo. “We will look forward to introducing some of the most popular superheroes of all time to the world’s fastest growing market across all media forms.”

“Audiences in China and the rest of the world are hungry for heroic stories that they can more easily relate to…and with the international box office accounting for the biggest piece of the total gross, the time is right for a truly international superhero franchise. DMG will bring its unique global perspective to the task of transforming the Valiant Universe into the first international comic-movie universe,” said DMG President Wu Bing.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2015, Valiant is one of the most successful comic book publishing companies in the history of the medium with more than 81 million comics sold and a library of more than 2,000 distinct characters. Established by a brain trust of legendary comics creators – including former Marvel Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter; seminal Iron Man writer and artist, Bob Layton; and the visionary writer and illustrator of Wolverine: Weapon X, Barry Windsor-Smith – Valiant’s heroes and villains inhabit the largest independently owned superhero universe anywhere in comics.

Re-established in 2005 as Valiant Entertainment with a best-in-class management team that includes Chairman Peter Cuneo, CEO & Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani, COO & CFO Gavin Cuneo, President of Licensing, Promotions & Ad Sales Russell A. Brown, Publisher Fred Pierce and Vice Chairman Jason Kothari, the company returned to great commercial and critical success in 2012, winning a Diamond Gem Award for Publisher of the Year and numerous industry awards and accolades. To date, Valiant’s titles consistently rate among the best reviewed in comics.

“Today marks one of Valiant’s biggest milestones yet with a huge step towards bringing the Valiant characters to the big screen and forging the foundation of the first truly international cinematic universe,” said Valiant CEO & Chief Creative Officer Dinesh Shamdasani. “By bringing Valiant’s biggest heroes to theaters around the world in concert with our new partners at DMG, we look forward to making Valiant not only an iconic name in comics, but global entertainment as well.”

J'ai vraiment hâte, je proposerai mes acteurs fêtiches pour différentes productions dans un autre message et aussi les critiques des jeux donc.

[Ben Wawe]

Je miserais bien sur X-O Manowar (pour rappeler le succès d'Iron Man, qui ne devrait plus avoir beaucoup de films solos dans les trois/quatre prochaines années) ou Bloodshot pour le premier film.

[EsseJi]

L'avantage de Valiant est d'avoir des persos qui traversent les époques de l'univers commun. Effectivement X-O serait un bon point d'entrée.

[scarletneedle]

Comme ça les gens pourront dire : "Oh, la suite d'Iron Man au cinéma!"

[gillesC]

La semaine dernière, je disais justement au Jorus (et à deux vilains non-buzzukis ) que Quantum & Woody, correctement adaptée, pourrait être une des plus grandes séries télé de tous les temps.
Série tout court, hein.
