This is pretty cool. A series would be great. I've only posted on here a few times, but I guess this is as good a time as ever to bring this up: I am an actor living in LA. I've been a Marvel fan since I was kid. My first comic was Punisher War Journal #9 and my second was Mark Spector: Moon Knight #3. I loved, and still love both characters to this day and always thought when I got older that I'd like to play one of these characters in a movie (mainly Punisher, only because I didn't think Moonie would get made into something because of his "similarties" to Batman). I always sort of knew that I didn't really look like a good Punisher candidate (because of my lighter features), so when I found out The Punisher movie was going to be made in 2002, I thought of somebody else I could play, and I actually came up with Captain America. Now here is where I'm getting to Moonie. I would love to play CAP, but I do actually think that MK has a richer, more in depth character to draw from and I've been reading my Vol.1 MK's from the 80's and notice that Spector has light features like me and I started to think that I would like to be considered for MK if for some reason they go another way with a CAP actor or I just like MK better. Anyway, here is my imdb.com page just to show I am not some wacko (which would actually help with MK!) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2490189/ The funny thing, and I did not really put it together until recently, is that I AM attracted to heros which are militarty in nature (Pun, MK, CAP), and that both my favs as a kid, (Punisher and MK) where both Marines and years later, I joined the Marines myself. I also workout, which the pictures will show. So you see, my life has be sculpted by my comic dreams as a kid. What do you guys think? Semper Fi, Wade http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2490189/ --Previous Message-- : Much to my surprise I just recieved this email : resonse from Jon Cooksey: : : Hi John, : : : : Sorry for the delayed response – I’ve been : buried and I also had to check with Marvel : to see what the secrecy level is about the : series, and (not surprisingly) it’s high : (same as the movies), partly because the : series is still in development, and partly : because we want to protect all the : surprises! So all I can tell you at this : point is that I was brought on last year to : write a pilot and bible, and develop some : additional scripts with a few other writers, : one of whom is a lifelong Moon Knight : fanatic (I grew up a comic book fan too, but : didn’t discover MK till later). We’ve all : had a great time working on the scripts, and : I love the storylines we’ve worked out for : the episodes and the series as a whole. : More than that I can’t say without starting : to give stuff away! : : : : MK fans in the US won’t know the last series : I did, “The Collector”, at least until it : sells down there (hopefully this year or : next), though you’ve found the site. MK : would be done with the same production team, : and JB Sugar and I are tentatively planning : to head down to LA in August to work with : Marvel on selling the series for US : broadcast. : : : : So much more I’d like to talk about but it : will have to wait till later stages. Thanks : for writing, and keep in touch! : : : : Jon : : : : --Previous Message-- : My firewall blocked that link for some : reason, : but Cooksey's blog on his : "Collector" site does indicate : that they have completed scripts for as many : as six MK episodes. His last post was from : December, but he said that they would be : shopping the show around to networks in the : states during this summer. I sent an email : to the staff of the Collector asking them to : come on to our humble message board and : throw us a bone since we've been in the dark : for 2 years. I'm not sure that we should : expect a response. : : This thing may not be dead after all. : : http://www.thecollectortv.com/14.html : : (Included a link to Cooksey's Collector site : and blog) : : : --Previous Message-- : Jon Cooksey who is working on the new ReBoot : TV series confirms that he is also in : development of Moon Knight. : : : : : : :
