When you keep holding something off for too long the excitement dies. They just announced the start of Gambit filming for June with no director. No one cares about the Gambit movie anymore.

In some cases I would agree with that but when you are talking about adaptions of comic books I have to disagree. I seem to recall Marvel going a long time releasing nothing but flops aside from 'The Incredible Hulk' TV show like 'Howard the Duck', 'The Punisher', 'Captain America' and 'Nick Fury' and while 'Spider-Man 1977' wasn't as poorly received as them when it first came out it and the two sequels are not looked back on very fondly by 'Spider-Man' fans but despite all that Marvel was able to climb back up to the top and those movies didn't destroy their reputation 'cause they were still having success with their comic books much like DC has been doing. DC have gone a long time without releasing any movies and just focused on TV shows and I think they could easily drop their movies now and focus on comic books and TV shows and come back in 20 years. DC is primarily a comic book company - not a movie company and I don't see Image Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, Aspen Comics, Bubble Comics, Zenescope, Amigo Comics, Action Lab, IDW etc needing a heap of successful movies to keep going and Image Comics is the third biggest selling comic book company in the world and has yet to have 98 percent of their series adapted to screen and yet they are still going strong and 'Saga' is the biggest selling new comic book series of the past 15 outselling anything by DC and Marvel and making the 'Guinness Book Of World Records' with other series under Image Comics for being the biggest selling graphic novel of the past decade too. Aspen is only getting its own movie universe now under Mythos Studios who bought out 50 percent of the company and it didn't need movie adaptions to survive its first 15 years.

I'm meaning announcing a movie then stringing us along for years. We give Flash crap on how bad they are doing with it, but it doesn't hold a candle to Gambit. Those other companies haven't announced live action adaptations and kept us on a string for years with no development. They might announce a movie is going to be made then maybe say the deal didn't go through and nothing is heard from it. WB and Fox are announcing things then give "updates" about how the movie is coming along nicely. They are holding out bait for us to keep interest on something that isn't there. Since they said they are going to make s Gambit movie, they've made 5 other movies (starting from X-men Origins). And the constant problem has been getting the script right. This movie better win best screenplay Oscar.
