DOOM PATROL IS
A re-imagining of one of DC's most beloved group of outcast Super
Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by
modern day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). The
DOOM PATROL's members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them
superhuman abilities - but also left them scarred and disfigured.
Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief,
who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in

existence - and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support
group, part Super Hero team, the
DOOM PATROL is a band of super powered
freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking
up after the events of Titans,
DOOM PATROL will find these reluctant
heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none
other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but
with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never be
same.

Haven't seen Brendan Fraser in anything decent for a dog's age now. I don't know that this movie will change that.
ReplyDeletehe recently revealed that his career was stopped due to an accident similar to the Weinstein ones. He is the male version of Ashley Judd in that respect :( This is, by the way, not a movie but series :)
DeleteGood to see Brendan back!
ReplyDeletesuper good!
DeleteLoved him in the Mummy movies and hope these do well for him.
ReplyDeletethose were the best movies ever to date! No other film has ever had such chemistry between the cast!
DeleteBrendan Fraser is one of those actors that you just have to love. Love me some Matt Bomer too. Wish White Collar would have went a little longer. Such a good show that I enjoyed watching him in. I don't do superheros either, but I may just have to give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteLove Fraser, love Bomer too, he is one of those enchantingly gorgeous people that captivate you with their stunningness.
DeleteI like the poster with Timothy Dalton. He always looks good.
ReplyDelete"...mad scientist" - I often hear the two words together. I don't like it, even if it's in a comic context. It's not true, and it's not educational. We need to encourage kids to look up at scientists, to wish to become one of them.
true, but I can confirm that most of us scientists (I'm a linguist) are crazy... utterly charmingly so.
DeleteWhat Debra said. Will there ever be a classy BF movie?
ReplyDeletewhat are you babbling, Mummies were uber classy!
DeleteUm... okay.
Deletethe classiest films ever and also the classiest direction!
DeleteWhoa.... hold your horses, which is code for if you say so.
Deleteand also the classiest CGI, cast and humour too! I miss Stephen Sommers ever so much....
DeleteI have not thought about Brendan Fraser in ages and now I am thinking about him. This series looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteit is good to think about him!
