Youngblood - The Movie
Ah, the early 1990s, when prismatic, gatefold, embossed, multiple-edition comic covers reigned supreme. And when titles like Rob Liefeld's Youngblood were inexplicably best sellers.
Yes, those were the days. Well, fans of that heady time have certainly had reason to celebrate with the word coming earlier this year that Youngblood is heading to the big screen, courtesy of X-Men: The Last Stand director Brett Ratner. And now, MTV.com has spoken to Liefeld about the status of the project. Liefeld revealed to the site that the script for the film is being penned by J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani, who have no produced feature credits but are working on another Liefeld comic adaptation, Bryan Singer's Capeshooters. The Youngblood creator says he's heavily involved in the development of the script too. He's hoping the film will be "in the Iron Man neighborhood" in terms of tone and rating, if a little more violent -- "as much as you can push it with PG-13." The stone-bodied man/boy Badrock will not be appearing in the film, with the story focusing mainly on team members Shaft and Chapel. "They don't like each other," says Liefeld. "Shaft is the new kid on the block in the movie, and he and Chapel have to put aside their differences to save the Youngblood program." One wonders how the marketing people will fit prismatic, gatefold, embossed, multiple-edition posters into their plans for the film.

Never much liked what I read of this one.
No badrock is a bit annoying. I'm sure it'll make for a decent "action" film.

Liefeld is a hack. Badrock was the only redeeming character in the series.
The whole point of Image and its books were pushing the envelope in things that the comic code wouldn't allow Marvel to like violence and mature themes. Now they want to make a PG rated flick? Youngblood is a franchise that should be euthanized (I thought it already had been). I smell a winner with this one.

Why does this need to be made?Do they not realize that comic fans for the most part want Liefeld to be behind them? Nineties nostalgia is a disease. A disease and a severe learning disability.
