So it may well prove to be the weirdest idea ever, but World War II classic action figure and Marvel dud Sgt. Rock (who actually started getting published around the Vietnam War) is getting a movie. But here’s the problem–it’s not set in either time period.
No, no Nazis or NVA for Sgt. Rock to kill mercilessly–Sgt. Rock will be set in the FUTURE, where he’ll likely be tackling aliens or robots or just alien robots.
Well, it’s not like anyone was really, you know, EXPECTING much out of this one. I mean, come on. it’s Sgt. Rock. Who actually READS Sgt. Rock, anyway? I asked a buddy of mine who’s a comic buff and he about laughed me out of the room. So I guess it really doesn’t make a difference if Sgt. Rock fights Nazis or NVA or Iraqis or even demons from hell because no one’s heard of the guy anyway and no one’s got any real expectations.
No word on release dates, but Joel Silver’s been trying to get this project going for the last twenty years, so you can probably expect it to show up about the same time hell freezes over.
