Default Sub-Mariner

"Terminator 3" director Jonathan Mostow will write and direct "Sub-Mariner," an adaptation of one of Marvel Comics' oldest superheroes.

In the comic, the Sub-Mariner's real name is Prince Namor, a half-man/half-amphibian from the underwater kingdom of Atlantis. An anti-hero, he frequently finds himself helping the human race as much as he fights it when humans pollute the waters.

The Sub-Mariner first appeared in "Marvel Comics" #1 in 1939, when Marvel Comics was known as Timely Comics. He made his first modern appearance in the pages of "Fantastic Four" in the early 1960s.

Universal Pictures' take will see a young man discovering he actually is a prince from Atlantis, with him turning out to be the key man in a brewing war between the underwater world and the modern surface world. Chris Columbus was on board to direct and produce the film in 2004.

Looking forward to this one. It has really been in the making for quite some time already. Hopefully Mostow's version will be the finalised one and they can start shooting asap.

I'm actually pretty leery about this one. I get the feeling that they're going to go with the "brooding hunk" angle. Lots of scenes of a shirtless Namor looking thoughtfully across the sea while some Natalie Merchant song plays in the background.

Hope I'm wrong. It's not like I have any evidence to back up my fears (other than Hollywood's spotty track record).

I'm hoping they'll cast Patrick Duffy in this, maybe in a cameo or something. That guy really has the acting chops, and he doesn't get nearly enough good roles.

Yeah, Duffy's role as Bobby Ewing was one of the great performances of our time.
