Noel Clarke Wants To Make Black Lighting And Supergirl Movies

The award-winning British actor/writer/director has expressed his desire to make the aforementioned movies on Twitter...while watching Catwoman!
"Was he insane?" I hear you say. Well, while his movie Adulthood premiered on a UK satellite channel, writer/director and BAFTA award-winning Noel Clarke for reasons best known to himself sat down to watch the universally lambasted Catwoman movie. In fairness, the odd time I do the same thing when it's on tv to see Halle Berry in that suit but that's a different story:)

Clarke twittered while he watched...

OH MY GOD! How shit is CATWOMAN?

RE: CATWOMAN Unbelievable rubbish. I wanna slap the director. Classic making a film about a character he actually knows nothing about.

So DC let this idiot make and ruin Catwoman but that won’t let me make BLACK LIGHTING or SUPERGIRL. Unbelievable… So angry, going to bed.




DR Who fans will recognize Clarke as Mickey(Rose's boyfriend) in the revival of the TV show. But he also wrote "Kidulthood," and wrote and directed "Adulthood." Both movies were very well received and he has a sci-fi thriller in the works called "4321" and will star in Neil Marshal's "Centurion."

Maybe when he is seen in something closer to the comic book movie genre, DC will let him make these movies. He certainly seems like a comic fan, and he has the talent, too.

I'm not familiar with Clarke, but I think Black Lightning is very cool. However, he is not the kind of character that could carry a movie. He would sure do well in a JSA movie.

he sucks

"Maybe when he is seen in something closer to the Comic Book Movie genre"

I think Doctor Who is pure comic book genre.Hell, it currently has it's own comic book!

I would imagine watching Catwoman would anger any director, who is a comic book fan, to want to make his own movie.

I also think Smallville missed out on using him.He's a teacher who is from Metropolis.They could have introduced him while Clark was still in high school.It practically writes itself.
kenny38606 - 9/6/2009, 5:58 PM
Haven't heard of this guy before. But he is right about Catwoman being a piece of sh*t. No one can argue with him there :)
InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 6:05 PM
kenny38606, your right about Who, but its not a movie, he didn't direct it, and he only had a very small part. Besides which, he was pretty crap in it! Its unclear what went down between himself and DC anyway. Maybe we will hear more about it.
Rorschach01 - 9/6/2009, 6:11 PM
OMG @ Great find ROR!!! ; )

Id love him do a BLACK LIGHTNING movie, it'll be [frick]ing fantastic!

An SUPERGIRL! Hell Yeah!!! Although id i want a LAURA VANDEROOT series every week lol, id love a movie with CULTBERT or something! Make it Dark, an have the MARTIX supergirl in it, nice!

Heck though, i could'nt see him as BLACK LIGHTNING though maybe SUPERGIRL? Heh heh. I mean STATIC SHOCK, but does he want the part of BL??? Probably, depends on his american accent??

Damn NO to BILLIE PIPER as SUPERGIRL! Lmao! : D

ELISHA CUTHBERT is SUPERGIRL!





RYAN MICHAEL DAVIS FOR BLACK LIGHTNING!!!



SET2FALL @ :thumbs!



LEEE777 - 9/6/2009, 6:12 PM
Kristen Bell for Supergirl


InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 6:29 PM
Noel Clarke is probably one of the best up and coming writer/directors in the UK at the moment. He seems to know his shit when it comes to filmmaking, so I say give the guy a shot. One, because i'm not too interested in either of the characters mentioned, so it wouldn't get on my back too much if they were shite. 2, if he's genuinly passionate about having a crack at it, with his ability and drive he'll probs make a better movie out of either one than most would. So i'm all for Clarke geting a shot. It could be far worse as choice of directors go.
Diehard - 9/6/2009, 6:32 PM
i just think supergirl does not need huge tits. lets just find a good actress and story. no short skirt to the point of seing her panties or stomach showing either. if that is what supergirl is all about. i dont give a shit about supergirl.
grif - 9/6/2009, 6:34 PM
He wants to direct em Leee, not star in em. Tyler i like Bell but not for Supergirl. My pick would be Elisha Cuthbert.



I know thats not really a left field choice or anything but she really looks the part and i think she would do a great job.
Rorschach01 - 9/6/2009, 6:36 PM
I don't think Cuthbert is a very good actress. She hasn't really proven her acting chops. Bell has, and she has the cute, spunky look to her that I think fits Supergirl perfectly.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 6:39 PM
I luv BlackLightning. He's prob the only other Black character I like aside from the Panther. The last Supergirl was cheesy def need to be redid
StrangemannX09 - 9/6/2009, 6:42 PM
My vote goes for Kristen Bell... with the white and red top. mmmph...
LexLuthor - 9/6/2009, 6:44 PM
I would say they have both shown good dramatic range and comedic talent. Cuthbert on 24, Bell on heroes. One does not stand out as being any better than the other, they are both solid..nothing special. But Cuthbert looks the part more. Like you said Bell is cute, but not really the knockout Supergirl should be. Shes also far too short and thin imo.
Rorschach01 - 9/6/2009, 6:45 PM
@luffy---- No, because he just isnt a grab you by the ass, make you sit down and pay attention,compelling character. Dont even begin to throw race at me. Everybody check out my Avengers fancast in fan fic. Its my first article and I would appreciate some more feedback. thanks
Hawksblueyes - 9/6/2009, 6:47 PM
Bell had Veronica Mars, Forgetting Sarah Marshall too. I'd say she is much more proven than Cuthbert. Cuthbert is only 5'2" and Bell is 5'1". Not much of a difference.

Cuthbert also looks somewhat, for lack of a better word, trashy at times, and I don't think Supergirl should look like that. Bell is a knockout though, not just cute. Bell can look tough and strong, despite being short.


InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 6:50 PM
@ Tyler and Ror---I dont believe you would go wrong with either one of them.
Hawksblueyes - 9/6/2009, 6:54 PM
Cuthbert would be a fine Supergirl, don't get me wrong, I just think Bell is a better fit for the character.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 6:55 PM
Well, theres no accounting for personal taste! Bell has done a bit more agreed, but I have seen both of em act and they are both decent, simple as that.



As for the trashy thing, well, you say trashy i say sexy. Bell just sends out more of a Killer Frost vibe to me. After seeing her as Elle in Heroes i always thought she would be great in that role.
Rorschach01 - 9/6/2009, 6:57 PM
I do recall him in Dr. Who. I liked him in the few episodes I saw. I like him even more now. I'd be all over a Black Lighting or Supergirl movie! Wow, its a real toss up between Bell and Cuthbert for me. I do like Bell better as an actress, but both are solid cuties. DC hear Mr. Clarke out!
longbowhunter - 9/6/2009, 6:58 PM
I guess we agree to disagree then Ror :)

But Bell would make a great Livewire as well hehe :)
InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 7:00 PM
I think Bell sorta has sneaky eyes for Supergirl,that probably sounds stupid, but there it is, I said it.
Hawksblueyes - 9/6/2009, 7:01 PM

InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 7:03 PM
Oh yeah, she would indeed. But the powers would be too similar to Elle maybe..thats why i thought of Frost. Similar character but different power. Its not too out of the question we would see Killer Frost in a movie if they go ahead with the Suicide Squad adap.
Rorschach01 - 9/6/2009, 7:03 PM
Hey folks, I would love to get some more feedback on my Avengers fancast its my first.
Hawksblueyes - 9/6/2009, 7:06 PM
Out the two i'd prefer Cuthbert. Just personal opinion. As argued, they're pretty level on the field of acting ability. I just think she suits the role better over Bell.
I always kinda wanted to see Kate Bosworth as Supergirl, back when all the fan pics were circulating. Guess that's out the window now she's starred in Supershite Returns.
Supergirl Bosworth
Diehard - 9/6/2009, 7:08 PM
Well I have respect for him for hating Catwoman but I can never take him seriously after seeing him in Doctor Who no matter how awesome he was fighting Cybermen and Daleks:


dancingmonkey08 - 9/6/2009, 7:31 PM
its too early for a supergirl we havent even gotten an acurate superman film tim routh has not gotten a chance to show what he's really capable of,Supergirl pics are all over the internet here's another


Weiner123 - 9/6/2009, 7:33 PM
I dont think he would be able to pull it off
Weiner123 - 9/6/2009, 7:34 PM
I've never seen his work, but I always wanted to see a Black Lightning movie.
Bandrews1 - 9/6/2009, 9:23 PM
:ets try not to be totally sexist here, and realize that Supergirl has more to her than just hotness- she's Superman's niece, and idealistic young woman who tries desperately to live up to her uncle's namesake.

If superman is a boyscout, she's a girlscout. She's spunky, a bit naive, but she's got a heart of gold and she'll fight for what she believes.

I think anyone honestly considering acting ability, plus pure RIGHTNESS for the role, like looking at Robert Downey and just KNOWING that he IS Tony Stark, means that KRISTEN BELL IS SUPERGIRL. She's smart, spunky, sweet, and yeah, sexy. :)
DannyRand401 - 9/6/2009, 10:02 PM
DannyRand: I agree with your post 100%.

But isn't Supergirl Superman's cousin? I may be mistaken, but I think she is his cousin, not niece.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/6/2009, 10:38 PM
Who is this Guy?

@TYLER....Yes, Supergirl is Superman's cousin.
retr0g0dfather - 9/6/2009, 11:02 PM
I would go for either Cuthbert or Bell for Supergirl. I've got a thing for Cuthbert, but I think Bell is a much better actress, and I have a thing for her to. How about we just dress them up as Supergirls and we let them fight it out. It's a win situation all around.
Tobuttica - 9/6/2009, 11:12 PM
Not gonna turn down a chance to see a superhero on the silverscreen. So I say, if no one wants to direct, let him. If anyone spots this Luke Cage image on a t-shirt let me know.




bbguy - 9/6/2009, 11:16 PM
Oh. man! That is a hard choice between Cuthbert and Bell but I go for Cuthbert 'cause she just looks like Supergirl to me! Or maybe it's 'cause my eyes warp out when I look at her! LOL

Bell has a more Killer frost look to her! She was perfect as the electrifying Elle. You're right, @Hawksblueeyes, she does look a little sneaky!

ELISHA CUTHBERT 1

DDD - 9/6/2009, 11:49 PM
DDD: I have to disagree with you. Cuthbert looks like Supergirl, but just because she looks like her doesn't mean she should be the character. Bell is a far superior actress, and also looks just like Supergirl as well. But Cuthbert is smokin' hot I'll give you that :)

bbguy @ Cool CAGE image dude, why don't you just send the picture to one of them T-shit companies that print any picture on T-shirts??? But then again im sure MARVELS already done the T-shirt, cool!

TYLER @ BELL would be a crap pick for SUPERGIRL man!

CUTHBERT all the way!!! ; D

ROR @ Hell yeah!!! I know he ain't starring in 'em but he's actor, he secret might wanna be BLACK LIGHTNING, to tell ya the true, i didn't even know until now there was even BLACK LIGHTNING talk? Damn, that would make a great DC movie!

TYLER @ Get you HEAD outta your A$$!!! : D

BELL is no way near superior to CUTHBERT as an actress an like others have said be cool for KILLER FROST of something, She's no way SUPERGIRL!

CUTHBERT's SUPERGIRL!!!

LEEE777 - 9/7/2009, 9:55 AM
Acting ability is far more important than looks. Bell is a great actress, and she does look like Supergirl. Cuthbert is a decent actress, and looks like Supergirl. That's already a win for Bell.

Acting ability > Looks
InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/7/2009, 9:57 AM
Okay,I had to google it up, click, zoom and all that, and no she doesn't have pantys, and no it's not Fox, look at her thumbs.

@Tyler--check out my Avengers fancast and let me know what you think.
Hawksblueyes - 9/7/2009, 9:59 AM

Hawksblueyes - 9/7/2009, 10:14 AM
haha, it wasn't that guys..it was the nippleage! ..i never even noticed the lack of panties..must have a closer look;)..anyway it obviously wasn't Fox's body.

Bell is only decent Tyler. Seriously, what have you ever seen her in that she really displayed any more acting chops than Cuthbert? Also, she doesn't really look like Supergirl to me. As hot as i think she is, she does have a kind of a sly, bitchy look about her..look at those eyes! Not a Supergirl look, a Killer Frost look:)

KILLER FROST could be in the SUICIDE SQUAD movie or even a villain in a up an coming DC movie? You never know!

Noel Clarke is a damn good actor /director , at least he was in that one movie he made that actually had a part 2 as well. If ya havent seen it. you should. that ish was deep.

Elisha Cuthbert is so F'ing sexy!

Hey guys head over to fan-fic to see my Master Chief article! Its just like Brents Captain America and Dr Strange article!Make your voices heard!
Ozymandias - 9/7/2009, 11:38 AM
Well, like i said its all down to opinions. But as far as i could see Bell showed no more range or talent in Mars than Cuthbert did in 24..if anything Cuthbert had more dramatic scenes that really tested her ability. Sarah Marshal was good and so was Bell in it, but she wasn't exactly required to do that much other than get [frick]ed by Russel Brand and walk around in a bikini.

I would agree that Frost is not very well known, but not that shes unpopular. Any fans of Suicide Squad think she is awesome so if they do make that Squad movie they are talking about she could well be in it.

Anyway thats a moot point, all im saying is that i think bell would be better suited to her type of look and character than Supergirls.
Rorschach01 - 9/7/2009, 11:44 AM
You are right that it's down to opinions.

But I think Bell showed great range and talent on Mars. I never thought Cuthbert was very good on 24. She just isn't that talented to me.

By unpopular, I meant it as not well known, but I couldn't think of a better word.
InTylerWeTrust82 - 9/7/2009, 11:58 AM
OZY @ Master chief???

TYLER @ But you think ackles is MEGA talented lmao! Come on CUTHBERTS is leagues ahead of BELL, BEll's alrite but that's about it!

SuperSteve @ Hey i was as bad lol, hey try Picture trail then, see if you can sort that one out m8!? Its a lil easier but don't put any risky pics on it or they erase your a account, i know lol!


LEEE777 - 9/7/2009, 12:13 PM
I bet you've only seen Cuthbert in model pictures and decided she should be Supergirl because she looks like her. Sounds like you.

I would love to see a Black Lightening film, but I feel Static would be a much wiser choice - Static can hold his own movie, has a wider fan base what with the cartoons, and again - would be a marvellous role model.

Static would literal piss all over Luke Cage - mostly because we all know now that were there a Luke Cage movie we'd have some rubbish rapper like 50*yawn*cent in the led role.
