Connery film could pave way for more superhero films

Hollywood observers believe that if Sean Connery’s new film, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a hit, it could pave the way for more inventive and imaginative films featuring comic book-based superheroes.

“If this movie is big, the floodgates will open,” Mirko Parlevliet of Superherohype.com tells USA Today. “Studios could try all sorts of creative things – teaming up superheroes or going to more obscure titles. If it flops they’ll probably retreat to the brand-name comics.”
