files/pictures/picture-35.jpgComic and licensing company Marvel Enterprises is mulling over entering the world of film production on their own, confirms a company representative. Since the overwhelming success of its characters like
Spider-Man and
Daredevil on the big screen, the company is contemplating middle budget theatrical or direct-to-video productions based on some of their lower-profile characters. The films would have a budget range of between $8 and $50 million. No deals have been struck at this time.
The next Marvel superhero feature to reach the screen will be
THE PUNISHER on April 16, 2003, followed by
SPIDER-MAN 2 a few months later on July 2. Marvel has several other properties in various forms of production and pre-production including
FANTASTIC FOUR ,
NAMOR: SUB-MARINER ,
IRON MAN ,
GHOST RIDER ,
MAN-THING and
ELEKTRA . For more information about Marvel visit
