A couple of weeks ago saw it announced that China’s Legendary Entertainment is developing a live-action Pokemon movie.
Now it’s learned the writer behind Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain Marvel movies, Nicole Perlman, will be co-writing Pokemon with Gravity Falls scribe Alex Hirsch.
Variety reports Universal Pictures will handle distribution of the live-action Pokemon film outside of Japan, and that Toho will distribute the movie in Japan (similar to how Godzilla is handled).
Previous details for the Pokemon movie include it will be based on Detective Pikachu, a new character in the Pokemon universe.
The Pokemon movie was green lit following the release of the super popular Pokemon Go App which enables users to find and capture Pokemon in real time and do battle and get upgrades.
Pokemon was created in 1995 and has sold 279 million video games worldwide with 21.5 billion cards shipped to 74 countries, and an animated series spanning 19 seasons.
The next Pokemon game comes out for the 3DS with Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon.
When you think of Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, do you also think of Green Lantern?
I never have, but maybe that’s because I can distinguish the two. More than likely the blame lies with the same audience that Tom Hiddleston recently revealed caused Loki to be cut from The Avengers 2.
Captain Marvel co-writer Nicole Perlman, who also wrote an early script for Guardians of the Galxy, stated on the Any Time With Vin Forte podcast that they are reinventing Carol Danver’s origin story for the Captain Marvel movie.
“She’s obviously such an incredibly kick-ass character and Kelly Sue DeConnick did a great run with her story arc recently,” Perlman said. “But here’s the thing: if you were just going to do a straight adaptation of the comics, her origin story is very similar to Green Lantern. And obviously, that’s not what we want to do. There’s a lot of reinvention that needs to happen.”
Perlman is writing Captain Marvel with Meg LeFauve and says it’s been a blast so far.
“It’s a little bit of an interesting story gauntlet. It’s been good to have a partner. It’s been an incredible experience. If we can pull it off it could be an incredibly important but also really fun and kick-ass superhero film,” she said.
Regarding the similarities between Captain Marvel and Green Lantern, both are in the Air Force and receive their powers from aliens.
I’ll throw this out there: Perhaps they are changing up Captain Marvel’s origin story because they may feel it’s too similar to Richard Rider Nova’s origin as he, too, received his powers from an alien. Nova is already rumored for Marvel Phase 4, maybe Marvel wants to give Nova the alien origin instead of Captain Marvel? We can hope.
“Captain Marvel” has a March 8, 2019 release starring Brie Larson.
Paramount and Hasbro have announced the writers room talent for their upcoming new movie universe featuring GI Joe, ROM, MASK, Micronauts and Visionaries.

A mere 12 days following the death of David Bowie, it’s learned another Labyrinth movie is in the works.
Bowie, who recently passed away due to cancer, played the Goblin King in the 1986 movie that also featured Jennifer Connelly.
While THR reports the Labyrinth movie will be a reboot, the writer on the script, Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Nicole Perlman, took to Twitter to offer it’s not a reboot. So it’s possible the new Labryrinth project could either be a sequel or spinoff, or even something different.
Perlman wrote the first draft of the Guardians of the Galaxy script for Marvel prior to James Gunn coming on board, and she is co-writing the Captain Marvel movie.
Jim Henson’s daughter, Lisa Henson, will be producing the new Labyrinth movie. The original was directed by Jim Henson.
Not “rebooting” anything, guys.

Check out video above of Nicole Perlman talking Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Perlman is on board writing the Captain Marvel movie in which she says it’s currently in the brainstorming stage.
Regarding Guardians of the Galaxy, Perlman recounts how she got involved with writing the first version of the script. Perlman was a part of a Marvel writing program back in 2009 in which Marvel told the writers to develop lesser known properties.
A new Gamora comic book series is also in the works from Perlman which is set prior to Gamora joining the Guardians of the Galaxy team.
Here are some highlights:
They gave us a list of lesser known properties and said ‘choose one of these and you will be developing it for a couple of years by yourself.’ So we said ‘okay’ and everybody chose one. The one I chose was Guardians, which I got a lot of funny looks about because it was the least well known property on the list.
I was originally drawn to the first group of Guardians. I thought there’s something really cool about Vance Astro and the whole idea about being temporally dislocated, but I loved the 2008 Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning reboot of the series. It just had so much color and sarcasm, and that was something that the producers were excited about as well.
I tried a lot of different versions of which Guardians to include in the story, but the ones that ended up in the movie are the ones that we decided fulfilled all the best parts of that team. We’re encapsulated by those guys.
Rocket Raccoon was a late addition. I’m really glad we put him in. He was very much on the fence for a while. I loved him, and Kevin loved him. There was some back and forth, and he made it in. Thank goodness.
With Quill we changed his backstory fairly significantly because we didn’t want him to start out too noble at the beginning and be doing this for noble reasons. We wanted him to be a bit of a scoundrel.

Marvel has officially announced Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve on the Captain Marvel movie (Ms. Marvel Carol Danvers to Cosmic fans).
Marvel.com officially made the announcement that: Nicole Perlman & Meg LeFauve will together write Marvel’s “Captain Marvel,” in theaters November 2, 2018, bringing Carol Danvers to the big screen in her first solo cinematic adventure.
Fans will recognize Perlman as the co-writer of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” last year’s smash hit introducing audiences to Star-Lord and his crew, while LeFauve most recently co-wrote Disney Pixar’s next original film “Inside Out,” which will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May before heading to theaters June 19.
Perlman is also due to write a Gamora comic book for Marvel comics.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20041:]]
It’s learned that Kevin Feige and Marvel are eyeing the writing duo of Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve to write the Carol Danvers Captain Marvel (Ms. Marvel to Cosmic fans) movie.
THR reports that Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige was impressed with their separate takes on Captain Marvel and has thought it best to combine the two for “sensational results.”
It’s said that Perlman and LeFauve are currently in talks, and that no director is presently involved.
Nicole Perlman wrote the first draft of the Guardians of the Galaxy movie and recognized the potential for the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning comic from early on. Perlman was part of the Marvel Writers Program back in 2009 where she chose Guardians of the Galaxy to adapt. It’s been said that Perlman’s Guardians of the Galaxy was closer to the comic book version and a more serious take on the story and characters than the James Gunn version. Perlman is also set to write a Gamora series for Marvel, which is more serious take on the character than the current Marvel Comics parody versions of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Meg LeFauve co-wrote Pixar’s upcoming Inside Out and also has producer credits with The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys.
Captain Marvel has a November 2, 2018 release and will not be a part of The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

I’m honored and surprised by this, especially because we were the only film, of all ten films nominated for writing awards, that did not send a screener to Guild members, and did not spend money on any kind of push. Pretty damn cool. I know some of my fellow Writers’ Guild members follow me here, so thanks!
I also want to send out hearty congratulations to Charles Wood, our production designer, who was nominated for an Art Directors’ Guild Award for Excellence in Production Design, and Alexandra Byrne, our costume designer, who was nominated for a Costume Designer Guild Award for Excellence in a Fantasy Film. Charlie and Alex are two of my most talented GotG partners and couldn’t be more deserving of these nominations (and, truly, the awards themselves).
