Oh, to be Zak Penn. At the moment, I think there are only two people I’d want to be if I ever got into screenwriting — either Zak Penn or David Goyer, the kings of the comic book movie adaptations. Coming off the last two “X-Men” films and “Elektra” (okay, let’s just pretend “Elektra” didn’t exist), Penn is now (ahem) penning “The Incredible Hulk” re-imagining and working on “The Avengers” movie. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also got “Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run” in the pipe. Geez, whose leg do you gotta hump to get this kind of work? I want that job! And according to this interview Penn did with IGN, he apparently wants a movie along the lines of Mark Millar’s “Ultimates” comic book. Niiiice.
