Member DragonClaws Posted January 2, 2020 Member Share Posted January 2, 2020 Directed and co-written by Will Forbes and starring former Pro-Foot Terry Crew's as the title characterJohn Henry Iron's a.k.a Steel. I think basketball star Shaquille O'Neal was the last person to bring D.C's Steel character to life on-screen?. Hammer time, action star and former NFL player Terry Crew's in a scene frm the up-coming movie. Art-work from the D.C Comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted January 2, 2020 Member Share Posted January 2, 2020 Actually, this is not so much a Steel reboot as it is a modern day version of the folk legend of the titular character. But it does look quite good. Crews is just John Henry with his father being played by horror film legend Ken Foree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_(folklore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Ah_Tao Posted January 3, 2020 Member Share Posted January 3, 2020 Looks badass, but I'm not sure why they made a reboot of Steel and simply slapped John Henry's name on it. There's no railroad, yikes! If they put the DC trademark and changed the title to Steel, everybody would be going crazy rn. Me personally, I'm definitely going to catch this one in theaters. Edit: Didn't even get to say what I wanted to originally say lol. Whatever happened to The Rock playing John Henry? I remember he got backlash because he wasn't "black enough," but does anybody know if this is the same project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
