It's supposed to be a comic book superhero movie. I just saw a preview for it on the Sci Fi Channel while watching "The Search for Atlantis" documentary. I don't get it, I don't see any ads for it on the Sci Fi homepage. Are they trying to bury this? Does it suck so much EVEN the Sci Fi Channel would bury it?

i saw the ads too but couldn't find much information on it. even the ads weren't very clear. they didn't show the superhero at all (or i must have missed it). must be crappy for sure if sci fi is going to dump this one on us without warning. and you know these guys aren't exactly known for quality to begin with. snort.

Here's some info on it from Comingsoon.net (sounds like they're hard to cash in on lee's name more than the story):

Stan Lee's LightSpeed, the latest in a series of POW! Entertainment's projects, will premiere on NBC Universal's SCI FI Channel. The live action Stan Lee Original, will air the evening of July 26 @ 9pm ET/PT.

Stan Lee, the master storyteller and creator of the modern day superhero, lights-up his newest superhero "LightSpeed" in an original film for the SCI FI Channel. The film is produced by FWE Picture Company, Jeff Franklin ("Stuart Little"), Elie Cohen, directed by Don E. FauntLeRoy, written by Steve Latshaw and John Gray, the cast of stars include Jason Connery, ("Wishmaster 3: Beyond the Gates of Hell," Dominic Senatori on "Smallville," and son of Sean Connery), Daniel Goddard ("Beastmaster"), Baywatch's Nicole Eggert, and "The Six Million Dollar Man," Lee Majors.

This superhero drama is the story of Daniel Leight, AKA "LightSpeed," played by Connery, an agent that discovers he has super powers as the result of a near lethal mishap. Goddard, Leight's nemesis in an experiment gone bad, becomes part man -- part snake, morphing into "The Python." The action takes place as LightSpeed uses his ability to run at the speed of light, to thwart the slithering evil doings of the Python.

POW! Entertainment Inc. (Purveyors of Wonder) is founded by world famous motion picture and comic book icon Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, X-Men, The Hulk, and Fantastic Four, together with award winning producer Gill Champion and intellectual property specialist Arthur Lieberman esq. Collectively they bring to POW! a vast plethora of experience that assisted in the creation, production and structuring of some of the most successful character franchises of all time.

Can't Sci-Fi channel and Stan Lee think of better ideas for superhero movies?

Apparently not.

I don't know about Stan Lee, but Sci-fi has ordered a full season of Painkiller Jane. Link to Superherohype.com below.

If Emmanuelle Vaugier stars in the series, like she did for the movie in Dec. 2005, I'd watch it. Sure, the movie had flaws, but.... :shock:

Does your wife know that you spend all your personal computer time commenting positively on the looks of other women?

[tobnameless]

as long as I am not annoying her with my insipid banter she doesn't really much care. Besides the forum that she belongs to has a hot chicks thread that she is always posting a pic of some woman that she thinks is hot.
