Last week, Stan Lee received the lifetime achievement award from the Visual Effects Society, presumably for all the work he's given the members of the past decade. While many of Lee's Marvel co-creations dominate this century's movies, several potentially deserving and exciting properties have amazingly yet to receive the full screen treatment. Dr. Strange Given the immense visual potential, Dr. Strange is the most surprising character on this list. The second most famous creation from Lee and artist Steve Ditko, the Master of Mystic Arts previously starred in a mediocre 1978 made-for-TV movie and a forgettable 2007 direct-to-video release, plus numerous guest appearances on various Marvel cartoons. Rumors have persisted for well over a decade about a live-action feature film. The latest attempt centers around the completed script by Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (the duo responsible for the recent Conan the Barbarian) that is believed to focus more on

Looks like when it rains it pours. TMZ is reporting Schwarzenegger's animated project " Governator " is on a holding pattern. "In light of recent events, A Squared Entertainment, POW, Stan Lee Comics, and Archie Comics , have chosen to not go forward with the Governator project." The official announcement comes just a few hours after Schwarzenegger said he was putting all his future acting gigs in a holding pattern. The rep would not specify if the project is completely dead or just postponed until Arnold's personal issues blow over. One potential problem was the show's plot ... Arnold's character was supposed to fight crime with the help of his wife Maria and their four kids. Please Leave A Comment-

The company has hired Mark Bailey , who hails from the documentary film world, to pen a take on the character, the king of a resource-rich fictional African country who becomes a super hero. Marvel's Kevin Feige is producing. The Black Panther first appeared in the pages of the Fantastic Four comic in 1966 and is considered the first black hero in mainstream comics. A movie version was in development at Columbia in the early 1990s with Wesley Snipes on board to star in an Indiana Jones-style adventure. Snipes remained attached to Panther even when the property transferred to Artisan Entertainment, best known for making The Blair Witch Project. At the time it had several Marvel films in development. Marvel reacquired the rights to Panther in 2005 when it absorbed a host of character licenses from Lionsgate, which bought Artisan in 2003. Back in  2010 BET was set to release an animated version of   The Black Panther on it's channel but it never made it. Of all places
