I read my first Doc Savage<\/a> novel, The Land of Terror, somewhere between mid 1970 and mid 1972. \u00a0I was living in Curundu at the time, and I remember buying it in Panama City. \u00a0Since then I’ve read most of the original 181 novels, PJF’s Escape From Loki, and a number of the newer ones written by Will Murry. I have two well read copies of Farmer’s Doc Savage: His Apocalypic Life. I have comics from both the Marvel and DC series. \u00a0I also own the George Pal “Man of Bronze” movie in glorious VHS.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I’m looking forward to a well done Doc Savage movie. \u00a0Shane Black, of Iron Man 3 fame, has obtained a green light for a Doc Savage movie<\/a>. \u00a0So, high hopes for a really cool movie here. Have to say, I’m more interested in who he is going to cast as Doc’s cousin Patrica<\/a> than Doc at this point.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: According to IMDB, Chris Hemsworth is rumored to play Clark Savage, Jr.<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0This would be fornicating awesome.<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong>: IMDB now lists Dwayne Johnson as playing Doc Savage. \u00a0Which is also fornicating awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
