Development hell
Water guy!
So just which incarnation of Aquaman will splash on to the big screen? The clean- cut, porpoiseriding golden boy of the Silver Age? The scuzzier, hook- handed anti- hero of the ’ 90s? Or the guy whose credibility in superhero club was fatally torpedoed by all those gags in Entourage? Star Jason Momoa has no doubt.

He comes in in the third act.”
Block buster!
Ah, creative differences. Where would we be without them? Watching Shawn Levy’s Goonies- style take on Minecraft, that’s where. The Night At The Museum helmer has dropped out of the movie adaptation of the monstrously addictive videogame – and he’s taken writers Kieran and Michele Mulroney with him. “Warners asked me to develop how
