Danger Girl movie with Charlize Theron

Image
       Danger Girl was a comic created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell for Image Comics. It debuted in 1996 and the intention was to make a comic that felt like an action movie. Instead of the comic credits being on the first page, they appear after a prelude to the story as a two-page spread designed to look like the opening credits of a James Bond movie. One of the characters is even drawn as Sean Connery. When the Avengers cast Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, it was because that was how the character was drawn in the Marvel comic "The Ultimates". The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen  was a movie based on a comic that made Connery quit acting. What if he did a different comic book movie? Would he continue acting? Who knows?      Although the head on the cover is Charlize Theron the body is of a cosplayer named Becky that was photographed by Michael Rodriguez at San Diego Comic Con.

Codename Dragonfly 1969

        CQ  is Roman Coppola's Sullivan's Travels . Except instead of taking place when it was made like Preston Sturge's 1941 movie Coppola's 2001 film takes place in 1969 and instead of the protagonist being a screenwriter, it's about a director. Okay, maybe it isn't that much like Sullivan's Travels .       In CQ  Jeremy Davies plays a film editor for a movie being made in Paris called Codename Dragonfly;  part Barbarella  and part Danger: Diabolik . There are many scenes showing how the movie within the movie is being made. Codename Dragonfly  is a movie I would probably watch so here is the DVD cover for this fantastical film. https://youtu.be/xOwLeB2j3p0?si=H_YfQYFQpBhsiKo-
