Ant Man the Movie

There have been rumors on the web about an Ant Man movie coming out in 2010. Alledgedly, the movie is currently being written by Edgar Wright – which may be the same Edgard Wright that directed one of my favorite zombie movies, Shaun of the Dead.

 

Meanwhile, Marvel execs have reportedly hinted on a Christmas 2010 release for Ant Man with a blog saying that “the lesser-know character who can turn into an ant and also control insects with his mind plays more tongue-in-cheek than some of the company’s other properties.” (Editor’s note: he CANNOT turn into an ant!)

Alright, so the darn Ant Man Movie has an IMDB entry. So what? There aren’t details there – yet! Not to worry bitches, Geekzkrieg will be monitoring stuff for you and we’ll post updates as soon as we get word.
