Is this the coolest thing ever or the lamest thing ever?
You decide. I feel like this is a major example of Hollywood just trying to ride the coattails of something with buzz.
"Aquaman," one of Hollywood's hottest inside jokes, might make the move
from fiction to reality. As a key plot line in HBO's "Entourage," the
"movie" directed by James Cameron shattered box-office records (a feat
that got it a real ad in Variety), turned an unknown actor into a
$20-million movie star and sparked a fight over a sequel.
But now, informal talks have been launched about the feasibility
of making a real Warner Bros. "Aquaman" movie. In one of the strangest
twists of this life-imitating-art tale, the talent agent at the center
of the emerging "Aquaman" deal is Ari Emanuel, the brassy Endeavor
partner on whom "Entourage" agent Ari Gold is based.
Warner Bros. said Thursday that the studio "is not currently
developing" an "Aquaman" project. But according to four people familiar
with the idea, conversations already have been held about the
character's film rights, controlled by DC Comics, itself a part of Time
Warner Inc. One top filmmaker's name also has surfaced as a potential
"Aquaman" director — "Charlie's Angels" alumnus McG. The director is
finishing the football film "We Are Marshall"; his reps declined
comment on the "Aquaman" prospects.

PLEASE! PLEASE! Please make me an Aquaman movie! I'd definately go see it opening day... no, I'm not a nerd...
Do something along the lines of the failed Aquaman TV pilot with Justin Hartley. That I thought was a great Aquaman movie and should have been picked up as a series.
And maybe hire me to write it :)
