Doug into who is Peter Parker who is Tony Stark who are the Fantastic Four

00:16:50

404 the hours

erratically different way of looking at a super heroes and just falling back

company has for me it is very different DNA of

when they started under 450 really dead come to life in the comic books

what now that’s in your current position you do player

huge Rowland finding the superhero said to be the one to register as a kid

is a kid what defines a hero are there basic ingredients as you is

00:17:25

as you create characters for comic books  what the number one

lookout the word realize I missed helped anyone can be strong when can be smart

that’s a sort of and I was nothing I think it talk I’d seen of your system

circulating on YouTube talked about someone who has a certain physical power

are the b*** also a moral center receiver just describing

00:19:10

exactly characters like Spiderman a beloved not because of you

building a half off because of their the moral character

when Spiderman capture the villain in the weather

define doesn’t leave a bill to charge the police

is Chrissy of your friendly neighborhood Spider Man

does the speed of a flea expecting no reward that’s that

that’s that’s the third saying is Adam and and that’s where the constant coming no one knowing

00:19:45

no one seems to be working as themselves when they were superhero

number one in the mask a striking have as a history

popular Rose hits the message to get your attention the human bean

anyone can you go to the face first when is a master lock

f****** at the block in the face tickets for tension in neck is that also then

is in the identity on top of that cost in the

the mask symbolize The Secret Lives

00:20:20

begins when your a kid there is the world if you don’t World News

what does the child when the world that that don’t think they know everything

kids R kids no more then adults think they do

can you get your tears mean to have live separate from your phone

when you have an interior lights you have if you have thoughts

the world around you um any many people think all my gosh

anyone do when new the real me into my world

00:20:55

that is reflected in the Super Hero where’s the coffin 2

protector love 112 my villains

find out who I am so freakin me for my loved also the

things that I am Spiderman

I will be over my life is exposed and that is it

connect with and then makes me think of course comic books are out the history of the end

the industry and the marvelous well as any other company has published comic

00:21:30

comic books in all sorts of genres but the one that

that is certainly dominating a dominating today is the super

superhero genre is there a particular reason do you think for them to be

how to be so considering all the stories to be told in all the markets are are for those

for those stories in other media questions about boys why

Supergirl when to use a comma

are not a genre medium medium TV just like filmed

00:22:05

just like poetry just like medium medium

do anything you want we can do Western field 16

well um

is there an alternative model self

Stearns and romance monster come on in the 60’s

the Marvel version struck a chord captured lightning in a bottle

characters that were invented back then who are still the search for books today

00:22:40

very special vidi vici materials what you’re still be written for coming

comic books on ebooks on paper but I’m thinking of all the other media that marvel

Marvel product out a piercing in the comic book characters appear in are those

are those things which are now on your mind as you develop characters and storyline

Joey lines the idea that it’s a that it may I didn’t mean

Maine work through say TV and movies that it may be on paper

also be online um do do any of these effect

00:23:15

House house house stories and characters may appear

Marvel database three-dimensional entertainment company

how many people now and North Ave movies Tom and soul

yes we do we know that we have film we have TV shows like video game

we have offered a licensed products so on

what is always on your mind are there maybe other opportunities character

characters from the Crypt comic week with first time make the best c**

00:23:50

the best story and let an envelope to tell the story they want

I want to tell in the long run develops into something else

great we try not to let that get in the way of telling the best

best story possible yeah I was I was thinking maybe this could be our final question

going back to two of the dreams you have when you are reading comics as a kid

if you were a superhero what what quality what you want to have

and let me let me let me follow that up because this is Marvel what personal problems would you be

00:24:25

would you be willing to contend with what you know

reply I see myself as a Peter Parker character will see yourself

your cells as an underdog who deal with college town

perfect Wives train do the best bank

and in a kilogram relieve more more Ground zeroes

no I wrap my head around the characters who were on offense

Ace or fighting other dimensions I wasn’t Spiderman and daredevil

00:25:00

double characters who were in New York City

everyday problems combined with a crazy superhuman problems

what’s the purpose for powers I would like

everyone says they want to fly I wouldn’t mind

teleporting I would have to commute to and from work everyday

what’s a power that would be unable to help people and you know I supposed to first

McAllen like any Marvel character who has

00:25:35

physical or emotional calendar ultimately it’s worth it

fly to our lives here and now the Rosen you are a trooper

true romantic I gotta be if I’m spending all my days with a cat

Captain America and Ironman will a bill I’m just want to let people know when you’ll be speaking at

today were talking about comic books and comic book characters Superman

Batman Ironman in the inventor of ventures for infants these are the starting

starting characters in some of the highest grossing movies of the last couple of years

00:26:45

years looking for the farther back over the last 35 years

been several big budget movies showing the adventures of characters on a bike

buy DC and Marvel Comics somebody’s movies in Viva turned critical

Medical respect what is there financial earnings that ensure that there will be more

more superhero movies in the future including a new us or movie that

thats 2 out on Friday March uses a screenwriter im self write about soup

super heroes in movies in many places including articles for Forbes

00:27:20

Marshalls welcome to the program thank you happy be here and I’m

how much does a trip to fan to business magazine is interested in superhero movies

I guess I should tell us how successful commercially they become

yes I just uh since 2008

Aphrodite look at how many of the modern superhero films has broken

the 1 billion dollar barrier Batman is twice

The Avengers Superman just a corset top 600

00:27:55

550 million Ironman this year did 1.2 billion

the lights is definitely lucrative business Walmart in the time of the only

only movies about comic book heroes were low budget serials Ames Strictly of kids

kids so how did we get to the point where superhero movies a big budgets

&& storylines MA actually working more than one level

I think you can you can see the change beginning in about the 60’s or 70’s prior to that you have

you had that the comic code 45 in comic books that the cell

00:28:30

Centre comics end and kind of captain of the kid friendly level

hand it if you have a lot more Tampa name which was reflected the chorus in the 60’s Batman

and series in the 70’s that you had a new generation of writers and artists

who really took the story that you know we can we can change things Marvel trees the hole

the whole revolutionary group of characters I like the Fantastic Four Iron Man

M&B for complicated people that carried into the 80’s and then you got Watchmen

Eminem The Dark Knight Returns knows what kind of watershed moment mainstream focus on

00:29:05

effective comic worth Sirius medium and I was at 19

1978 I think 1978 Superman the movie came along it was like

gone with the wind compare to the 60’s Batman series I

and it people were starting to see that you know that there’s a bigger audience for this if you take it

take it seriously and that and then Batman 89 was really kind of the clincher they

it showed you can make a dark adult superhero movie and audiences will show up

show up and they showed up to the tune of an excess of 400 million dollars at the box office and more than that

00:29:40

merchandising and I should know if you have a question for Marcuse don’t wait call now

now we can talk about comic book movies at 1 800 2229

9455 1 800 222 wyll you can email last

wyll dash talking illinois.edu the progress

progress of the evolution special effects on Justin terms of spectacle

must have also played a role in what comic book movies 10 look like Yahoo

yeah if you draw actually I think that’s the modern comic books

00:30:15

if you look at the 90’s things kind of stuttered a little bit in the mid-nineteenth

92 had the Batman and Robin movie and a lot more ass

successlink amp kind of approach the superheroes for a bit but the world

the world you series like The Crow and the blade 350 QX really carry the torch

forks for more serious movies more serious approach to Comic Sans

what happened in around 2000 you had at the late 90’s early

early 2000 visual effects made a huge leap forward

00:30:50

and when that happens you could finally portray the x-men for example or Spiderman

realistic weight on film you didn’t have to have a lot of rope and wire in

helping the camera on its side of a look like a walking up a wall and when you can present

present believably it fits it added to the delusion of religion for the audience in the box

the body into that kind of thing you could suspend disbelief and I think that played a huge role

role in helping really galvanized support in the spotlight Main Street Pub

public beach movie I’m thinking about a visa superhero movies

00:31:25

the business 10 point and I was thinking you could make a movie about a totally

original superhero that it never appeared before in other media

I can’t really think of an example of right now is it maybe

talk about the emphasis on well established characters from Publishers with well established

Starbucks marketing network sure its not essential to pre sell the character

characters and have been pre existing comics obviously doesn’t hurt but the dough

don’t forget we have actually had some very successful superhero film that had no loot

00:32:00

prior comics Hancock for example with a big success

what did the close to her about thinking about half a billion dollars that accept the 400 million

sure the box office with Will Smith you have the incredible from Pixar which was a

which was animated but that’s considered by a lot of people to be one of the best superhero films of all time

I’m breakable with Bruce Willis a wonderful movie

movie thats that really love by fans SAS a serious realistic take on superheroes

girls in just recently you had the found footage films Chronicle about teenagers

00:32:35

teenagers get superpowers and a half that was a big success with a great movie

I’m not you don’t have to have that the I think the end

and if you look at Marvel films kicked off their movies with Ironman and Captain America

guy and the port Inn on the level of Superman or Batman a lot of people

what really know you’re with me now that got hit man in guardians of the galaxy coming up I think the Maine

mainstream public figure it out we love these movies are certain brand

brands like Marvel or DC specially Marbles really Bradenton FL

00:33:10

self when you see that Marvel logo you’re going to show up even if that character

character you don’t know who that is so is this point I could probably start introducing originally

original characters in the film to don’t exist in comics and most of the public

go to see these movies now wouldn’t really know you know im probably wouldn’t care

carros long as its good I’m wondering the when they do I make plans for

where these movies Marvel and DC is it part of the business plan for the

for the love not just at other revenue stream that will come from the movie

00:33:45

what’s the revenue stream Apple come from all the ancillary products connected to the movie

the movie as you know as soon as well as the chick that might give to the original comic books

book series itself off definitely yes definitely I have for just one

one great example again at the first Batman film 1989 Tim Burton Batman

Batman made in excess of 400 million dollars the worldwide box office most people don’t know that

no that made more than that on merchandising

so can I have been so can a movie that

00:34:20

can a movie that maybe didn’t do so well at the box office

pick up you know still be considered a success because of what

did merchandise it would happen if its locked at the boxoffice a would be tested

tough to college success necessarily but in general yeah you sure it’s possible

possible that the look at Watchmen for example the watchman which I think is a very underrated movies

what movie was terrific and that it’s one of the best superhero films ever made

my opinion I didn’t do that well at the box office b***

00:34:55

fails of the graphic novel for the content of Watchmen comic they sold millions of call

copies new copies of that in the years leading up to the release of the film

just off of the buzz in the interesting that project of course on DVD in Blu ray

blue write the Prophet levels are so much I leave at work profit margin

uncensored something to make these these DVD’s in there selling them and even though you here

hear the DVD market kind of personality but at the end of the days

the profit margins to wide enough Harry Potter Harry Potter films made between

00:35:30

between 250 and 500 million dollars on Blu ray and DVD the film

film does well enough merchandising your nose in a long as they can help to break even

even or squeak out just a couple bucks in my pocket the box office can make that up at home

on home entertainment merchandise in both DC and Marvel now course in a part of pig

big media companies that do also on movie studios DC part time warmer

summer Warner in Marvel part of Disney how do you think they’re the two of companies

companies are doing at the market producing in marketing movies made from their c**

00:36:05

comic books  I fink doing great a person like I think marvel

feliz cumple completely ahead of the game I wrote about this on forms online

I’m just a few days ago that I believe marble right now is dominating Marvel Disney or dominate

dominating the the superheroes on right now what is everything what

whats the things are they doing right well has the biggest thing they done I think

think is when you look at what Marvel Marvel approaches the movie Facing fearless

I have so much confidence in their products and they are so sure that you’re going to love

00:36:40

going to love it doesn’t excitement its like they can’t wait to make another one of these movies

movies just so you can see what happens next and how often do you really get that feeling from the movie

movie studio making Bieber live action comic book this is the Marvel films are like a car

comic book coming to life on the speak screen look like if I moved on the pages in Chile

sleep and embrace that they wearing on their sleeve a you know I told

I told me respect and get the Warner Brothers approach that you know the Batman films were saying we’re going

we’re going to transcend the genre this is not a typical superhero movie but there’s also something

00:37:15

IMDB said for the fact that the Marvel says we’re not going to act like we need to trance

transcend comic books comic books are great it’s a completely valid wonderful story

storytelling medium and there’s no need to try to transcend you know they wear that on their sleep

sleep and because of that they have the brand of the movie does ma

Marvel the Avengers but that mark O’Brien think is like

like a Disney when you hear Disney you think family film people buy into it not

not just the film itself but the Brian Disney Bryant and Marvel has done that

00:37:50

that first superhero film the cheese that level and their marketing every one of the

one of the film title max in all of the marketing strategies tie together

and I think they been brilliant about keeping that really work

organized and and knowing where they’re going to always want to step ahead

the five and ten step ahead of this point in one brothers catching up in Warners

I think that it to their credit they look at what’s happening with Marvel make said you know

Marvel Studios make only superhero Warners makes a lot about the kind of movies

00:38:25

they don’t have to try to match Marvel movie from movie taking a different approach

going to go a little slower going to try for realism approaching their movies instead

and that’s great you have the you have it wouldn’t be a sign of everything

everything with the same so you know III appreciate the third Taking of different approaches to display

this point Marbles marketing as far and away dominating Jean where have the Marvel movie

full movies been showing up in terms of how the Box Office does I don’t think I’ve seen things

Thor and Captain America movie showing up the same on the top gross

00:39:00

grocers for instance what do they need to but that’s a good point

the one hand I don’t think I think what model did they approach to the Avengers coming

and they were confident The Avengers would be a hit and what they did is a b****

said we’re not going to look at on a film by some basic we have we’re going to invest in

in all of these movies together and as long as all of these movies together

gather combined return on investment that’s what really matters to them

The Avengers made a billion and a half dollars because of all the ground what they like

00:39:35

late before even if none of those movies from self made a billion dollars it didn’t matter because

because the payoff with the Avengers 1/2 billion the new they were building a brand

brand new built in a patient with pay off in the film

exactly were pretty successful you know the first Ironman broke half a billion dollars the second Iron Man

Ironman broke 600 million forget about 450 million

Captain America did I think 360 270 million I believe I will

worldwide the Whole Foods really the one under performing movie at the box office

00:40:10

box office but it was still great movie and Marvel didn’t Lincoln die

compare that to Warner Brothers reaction when Green Lantern kind of flounder

floundered they put a halt all the plans of head completely

Wheatley rethink what they were doing superhero movie when Green Lantern made about

about the same amount of money fault model didn’t even blink bright on going

next movie in the next movie because it didn’t matter if one of those movies Dumbledore

the rest good help it back up and now you know what happened in the aftermath of the

00:40:45

domestic its already made of 130 million dollars over seat with contract for at least

atleast 600 million worldwide attaches fire little bit better

better and performs a little stronger domestically exit 700 million domestically store is going to perform

perform like Superman what does that tell you Marvel definitely doing something right

something right now what’s the role of the global marketing how these movies perform

00:41:20

the global market now account

mount for 60 to 70 percent of a movie talks office now a days if you’re talking about

talking about Film Center in the top 50 performers top 30

ready to 5400 let your box office is about 60 to 70 percent in the top 10 or 20 movie

free movies consistently 2/3 to 70 or even 77075

5 percent of the box office this is interesting were talking about a really of Augusta

just a really American products something to say to me that says America like super

00:41:55

superheroes but they really depends on on bond on bond

on the money to make outside of America yes very much so end and you begin

surprise actually be at the superheroes specially Marvel superheroes like Iron Man

Spiderman are you have been popular popular for decades in a in

in Asian countries for example I’m and I think what’s happening

is that end with really really help sidelights worth mentioning that the expanse

expansion everyone thinks the 3ds bad 3ds not bad at all 3d reach the plateau demesne

00:42:30

domestically a kind of surgeon at the front in a kind of people like okay we’re open

open all the other end of settled about what 30 to 40 percent now

overseas still building 3d theaters I love 3d and people turn out to be

movies in the willing to pay the extra ticket price to see in 3d really help

does that box office quite a bit so into you know we can’t really good nor the fact that the ticket sales

als played the little bit for math and that helps a lot

that at the end of the day they love the characters because it’s mythology

00:43:05

I don’t see a lot of filmmaking that represents mythology anymore set

least that’s what these are you know this is when you read Roman and Greek mythology superhero the night with the Tsar

are in the world kind of hungry for that kind of thing I believe and other Fantasy element

elements in the sci-fi elements that the humor big world

did it takes place it’s not just said in America you know that’s a distinction between DC and Marvel news

movies is very often the DC movies Dolphin American city where is

what Marvel travels all over a little bit you know you want it all over my face

00:43:40

it’s all over well there’s some questions a new superhero movie coming out tomorrow

tomorrow Thor the dark world have you had a chance to see it I did

get iPod screen a couple weeks ago and it was really great

the really at the gate Justin in a in a final minute really just have a minute left

left so I hope I’m not springs something to complicated comic book some cells back to the old

Fulton paper what role do they do they start playing in a big business

00:46:00

Marvel and DC um are they straitjacketed buy some of the dictator

what’s happening in movies and TV with the characters are is this a place where they can work

where people can take risks not there still taking with pink what happens is it the most

the more successful the movies are there of course going to be a little more pressure in the comics

try to mirror that because stand seat in the movies in a kind of but for the most part if you look at the

look at the comic books at UC little pillow for just like the movies are taking influence from the car
